Info/Biography[Info not updated in 2012]
World Champion relay 2010 and EOC gold medal long distance in 2008. Junior World Champion from Estonia 2003 showed his strength in Baltic terrain once again by surprisingly winning the long distance at EOC 2008. Changed club from OK Tisaren to Angelniemen Ankkuri ahead of 2009-season. Nominated for Orienteering Achievement of the year 2008 after being the big surprise of 2008 when coming from nowhere and taking the gold medal over the long distance in EOC in Latvia. He was accused for following - but has since shown that he really belongs to the world orienteering elite, e.g. by taking a 5th place at WOC 2009 in the long distance.
