I just saw this note the the Spring 04 COF newsletter:
"Sandy and Holger Hott-Johansen 'on the move'
An orienteeringonline.net item advised that Norwegian team member Holger Hott-Johansen and his Canadian wife, Sandy (Smith, Fundy Falcons) had moved from Oslo to Kristiansands in southern Norway. They have also left the powerful Oslo based Baekkelagets OK and joined Kristiansands OK. Also leaving Baekkelagets and joining Kristiansands is double world champion, Jorgen Rostrup (1999 Short and 2001 Long champion).
It did not take Holger and Jorgen long to make their presence felt as Kristiansands won the Spring Cup Relay (Denmark - March 28), followed by a second place in the Kolmardskavlen Relay (Sweden - April 4). In this event they lost out to another Norwegian club - Halden Ski Klubb.
Sandy and Holger will compete in the 2004 North American Championships, Cleveland, Ohio, May 29-30"
As of today, Holger is ranked 4th in the world in the WRE rankings. Will be awesome if he is there. For those of you running blue this will be a chance to test yourself against one of the very best. And Sandy will be competing for one of two open spots on the Canadian WOC squad at NAOC. Sandy is ranked 119 on the WRE (all earned in Europe) and had a top 25 finish (23rd) in aWorld Cup race in 2002.
