Thierry Gueorgiou - World of O Runners

Profile: Thierry Gueorgiou
Country	France
Info	Probably the biggest star among the men at the moment. Won five middle races in a row (3 Woc, 2 Eoc) before he missed the podium in WOC 2006. Was back on track in 2007 with gold in sprint and middle, and he was unbeaten in international events the whole season. Even won the European Trail-o Champs in July 2007! Had his breakthru in WOC 2003 winning the middle with almost three minutes. His force is surely his orienteering technique. Training more with a map than any other top orienteer. Has raised the standard of training, and developed French o as well. A role model for French orienteers. His father MIchel was junior and senior coach for many years and has a been an important factor in the incredible development of French orienteering and Thierry Gueorgiou. Diffcult name to pronounce, so he is called "Tero Kettunen" in Fin and "Terje Gundersen" in Norway. Started 2008 with a EOC gold on Middle, but has not been dominating as he was last year. First to finish on WC-event 5, but disqualified for missing two controls. www.tero.fr Last updated July 2008
