| Info/Biography | The King of Middle distance - winning more middle distance races in international championships than all other runners together starting in 2003. During 2008 he got competition for the position as the biggest star among the men at the moment when Daniel Hubmann won the World Cup in impressing style.. Won five middle races in a row (3 Woc, 2 Eoc) before he missed the podium in WOC 2006. Was back on track in 2007 with gold in sprint and middle, and he was unbeaten in international events the whole season. Even won the European Trail-o Champs in July 2007! Continued with gold medals at WOC in both 2008 and 2009. Almost secured a relay win for the French team in 2008. Thierry was leading with just 1km to go when he was stung by an insect and could not complete the race. A somewhat similar situation happened at the relay in 2009 ; on the course to a medal on the last leg along with Norway, Sweden and Czech Republic he had to stop along with Norway and Czech Republic to help the Swedish runner Martin Johansson who was severely injured. This earned him and his two fellow helpers several fair play prizes. Had his breakthrough 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 orienteering 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 Finland and "Terje Gundersen" in Norway. Nominated for the Orienteering Achievement of 2009 for coming back and taking the silver medal in the WOC Long distance after the traumatic relay incident. Also: Winning despite the pressure ; The King of Middle took another WOC Middle Gold medal in 2009 - now arrived at 6 WOC Middle Gold medals.
