Profile: Thierry Gueorgiou
CountryFrance
InfoNOTE! This info last updated june 2006! Information is outdated!

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. Looks to be back on track in 2007 and he is unbeaten in international events so far this year. Even won the European Trail-o Champs in July! 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. www.tero.fr
