Short History
Mårten started his sports career as a
orienteerer at the age of 4. Since he discovered that he was too fast
for this sport (and could not find the controls) he started to do
long-distance running at the age 17. These days he does both
orienteering and long-distance running and is among the very top of
Finland in both sports. The crown of a long career came in 2013 as the
Finn crushed the field to claim gold in the sprint distance at the
World Orienteering Championships in Sotkamo, Finland. Currently the
home address is in Helsinki, alltough most winters of the active career
have been spent in warmer climates. Nothing beats Finland in the summer
thou.
