Anders Nordberg 2nd in Norwegian WOC Test Middle

testmellommen

Anne Margrethe Hausken Nordberg won a clear victory in the women’s class ahead of Mari Fasting. Hausken Nordberg’s husband Anders Nordberg – retired from international top orienteering after the 2013 season – finished 2nd in the men’s class behind Magne Dæhlie.

Olav Lundanes and Mari Fasting are pre-selected for the World Championships in Scotland – the rest of the start field fights for places in the Norwegian team. The Norwegian test races continue with sprint on Thursday and long distance on Saturday (close to the JWOC area).

  1. Good races of the Nordberg family. But I also think this shows that the level of the Norwegian WOC candidates are not at the highest international level. Personally I don’t think Norway will get a single medal this year – sorry.

      I have been following international and Norwegian orienteering closely the last decades, I think you are wrong. Magne Dæhli is, during the last 3-4 weeks, testing, running and orienteering significantly better than ever before, and he was fifth in the long distance two years ago. Anne Margrethe Hausken Nordberg is very, very close to her career peak level when she won the world cup combined and the world championships. Mari Fasting is just recovering from injury, but the two races after that has been very impressing indeed, and she will undoubtly be even much stronger in August! Olav Lundanes is now running three hour trainings, doing his utmost to find a peak form in August. All in all, I bet you are wrong, Norway will get at least two individual medals in Scotland, and at least one relay medal, too!
