O Heros and Heroines or Idols

[HOCOLITE]

I'm sure most juniors have had someone who they look up to. It was great at WOC99 seeing the juniors getting autographs, one got Heather to sign his pumps, my eldest got Hannah and Matt Crane's as he felt they were future Champs. In Halden the M/W16's collected various elite autographs on their tops along with their own tour mates. For many years my youngest has looked up to a young girl (W12 I think) who with her sister volunteered to take him and his brother to the start at a White Rose when he was 8/9. This year that same girl was one of the coaches at Halden. Yes Becks you are up there with the Heros and heroines.

Apparantly I was once looked up to by a member of WAOC. Sorry for letting you down whoever you were.

Speakey. He's my hero!

And I still find Yvette at WOC 99 the most inspiring moment in O yet. I've got that postcard of Heather shouting her on on my wall.

Carsten Jorgensen

when asked on Danish TV why he persisted with orienteering when he was European Cross Country Champion and clearly had potential to compete internationally in athletics his reply was
'I prefer orienteering, its more fun'

Gross... my only heroine

Samsonite is my hero. He's actually got people talking and thinking about how to improve the sport without - as far as i can see - any axe to grind of his own. Well done mate

Incidentally neville told Mr h. that he looked up to eddie - 'cos he knew how to enjoy the sport- sounds good to me

After being with him (BJ) and several others at the Pluto club in Sweden last week you might think twice about that. Tweaking grown mens nipples (Dickie Jones), and putting lit matches in his mouth. Although Bogle extinguishing a FULL lit box in his mouth was quite amusing in a strange sort of way. DON'T try it at home...
