Portugal O'Summer 09 - The Intervews


The hot days are coming and it is time to planify our vacations!
What would be better than orienteering, beach, sun and fun at the same time?
The Event Director, Nuno Leite, mellows our mouths in this little interview!

What can we expect about the event/organisation?

NL - The standard for Ori-Estarreja organisations is set long time ago, this means "High quality event"!
This is what we call a "Summer Event", so, more than for the competition we will work towards the vacation spirit.
But vacations end up on friday! The last two days are importante days (Portugal and Spanish Cup's and also WRE)
so this ones should be more demanding... competition for real!
And of course, you should count always with the smile of the organisation members!

JF - What are your expectations about the runners?

NL - The runners! Well, there are a lot of competition! I mean, lot of summer events, lot to choose from!
There is also the WOC in the previous week!
Anyway we expect to overcome our record from Portugal "O" Meeting 2007. About 1600 runners.

JF - What is your opinion about the terrain?

NL - I'm suspicious on that, but, in my opinion, it trully fits the kind of event that we want to build up!
Fast, smooth and challenging terrains!

JF - Do you think that the runners of WMOC08 are coming again to spend holidays in Portugal?

NL - I was at the organisation of WMOC and for what I could see/ear most of the runners will come again soon to Portugal.
Next summer? I hope so! :)

What would you say to convince someone to come to POS’09?

NL - It will be a summer event where the word "summer" is for real!
Sun, beach and orienteering on good maps in a very short range all week!
If you never came to Portugal... this is the right time!
If you have done it already, you know i'm talking true and it will be worth to come again!

O-Tv - Iberic Championships

Since NAOM i am not training as well as i should because of exams in university and i think that a good result in Portugal O'meeting is going to be almost impossible.
The good new is that the first one is done and i don't have to miss the competition.
Pharmacology, Physiology, Histology, Anatomy and Biochemistry are the names of the subjects that were on my exam!!! 8/

In the first part of this video you can find a review over the last Iberic championships and a little interview with the winners(in portuguese).
