Belgian O-news
National Military Championship:
Yesterday and today the Belgian military national championship took place in Marche en Famenne. In the men elite class everyone expected a close fight between Bart Delobel and Geert Simkens. Bart is still a member of the national team, but he isn't in his best shape ever. This is caused because of his tough military and physical education. Geert Simkens is no member of the national team anymore, but last weeks his shape was improving (prove: his victory in the Brabant 2-days in Holland).
Finally the fight wasn't as close as expected. Geert Simkens won both days rather easily, in total 10 minutes faster than Bart Delobel. Gunther Deferme made the podium complete.
Results:
1. SIMKENS Geert BEL 2:10:35 1:03:04 (1) 1:07:31 (1)
2. DELOBEL Bart BEL 2:20:43 1:06:21 (2) 1:14:22 (2)
3. DEFERME Gunther BEL 2:25:04 1:07:03 (3) 1:18:01 (3)
4. LANGER Thorsten BEL 2:32:59 1:10:47 (4) 1:22:12 (4)
5. GOOSSENS Paul BEL 2:38:24 1:12:13 (5) 1:26:11 (10)
All results: here
Their next goal will probably be the CISM (World Military Orienteering Championships) 04-07 september in Zagreb (Croatia).
3th National Event:
Next sunday (03/06) the 3th national event takes place in Borlon. This event can be called the last important competition of the pre-season. In the men elite class some good runners will be absent during this event. So we can expect a fight between Jan Gilot, Pieter Hendrickx, Nicolas Silien, Geert Simkens and Christophe Bernard. Maybe one of the outsiders can surprise us?
In the women elite class, the top5 in the Belranking will be present. Nearly all participators in this class have a chance to win.

Indeed, Mats Haldin is born in finland (17/05/1975), his first team was IF Femman. He studied for engineer.
Now he's living in Norway, Halden and is running for Halden SK.
But it was late in the evening/night when I wrote the article.

Door m'n opleiding kon ik helaas niet meedoen, maar volgend jaar hoop ik in een redelijke conditie eens deel te nemen aan de militaire OL-Finale.
