POM Day 4: Maps and Results

MSE (2)

Overall victories in POM 2016 went to Thierry Gueorgiou and Annika Billstam. Gueorgiou has dominated POM with victory every day – finally winning with a 16 minute margin ahead of Albin Ridefelt. Billstam has run four stable races with one win – winning the overall with 4 minute margin down to Eva Jurenikova.

Below are maps, overall results and comments from the overall winners. Thanks to the Portuguese Orienteering Blog for providing maps, interviews and other material.

Comments from the men’s winner Gueorgiou

About multi-day events, O-Ringen and season goals:

– I really enjoyed it. The most important today is that I felt enough strong physically and that means that the training last months was positive. This year one of my goals is the O-Ringen, in Sweden, so it’s very important to compete consecutively a few days. Now I must continue to training well for four months and then we’ll see what happens.

About today’s course:

– Today we also had a really interesting course, demanding a good navigation but also some parts when you could follow the tracks, and there I tried to relax. The approach to the controls was very clean and I liked it a lot, even if I did a big mistake on the fifth control and I can’t say things were perfect today. But I’ll continue working.

About the next competitions:

– We’ll have already next weekend the NAOM and it will be again a nice opportunity to work on the little details and and keep on progressing. Again another great organization and the Portugal O’ Meeting is better every year. The amazing things are, of course, the terrains, the maps and the courses, all the technical part is excepcional and would say that POM is now a really institution.

Comments from the women’s winner Billstam

About the victory:

– It was my first victory at Portugal O’ Meeting and it was really nice, of course. If I look back to all stages, I must say that the second stage was amazing and I had a good flow. I’m very proud of that race. I haven’t had that many trainings with map this year and I felt my technique just a little bit shaky.

About being tired:

– Also yesterday, in the World Ranking Event, I suffered with my physics and I was really tired for the last stage. When your mind is tired you do much more mistakes, stress a bit and lose the flow. Today I felt really tired during the warm-up, so I tried to push harder from the beginning and it went quite okay until the eight control, when I did a parallel mistake and lost several minutes.
