About me

Hi!

My name is Aleksandr Alekseyonok.

I've been an orienteer since 1986 with many good results in youth and junior classes. I was an elite athlete from 1993 to 2003. I've earned the title of champion of Belarus several times in various disciplines: middle, long, and relay events.

I participated in JWOC 1994 and various stages of World Championships, European Championships, and World Cup events.

As of 2018, I have been an IOF Advisor; however, my involvement has been suspended since 2022 due to sanctions for all Belarusian athletes and coaches because of the Belarus government supplying Russia in its war unleashed in Ukraine.

Throughout my career, I've taken on diverse roles within the Federation of Belarus, including serving as the head of the inspection service and coaching youth and junior teams.

In addition, I've contributed as a coach in some WOC, EYOC, and JWOC events. The Federation of Belarus has honored me several times as the best course maker of the year.

I've also worked as a personal coach, specializing in orienteering technique, for athletes of various levels.

Unfortunately, due to political repression and the threat of imprisonment on political grounds, my family and I were forced to leave our country two years ago. We currently reside in Poland.

At the end of 2023 I released the first part of the Practical Guide for Advanced Orienteers

"Confident Orienteering Book 1: The Basics".

Book 1 is an e-book originally published in English and has already been translated into several countries.

The second part of the Practical Guide Book 2 "Planning and Executing Routes" is expected to be released in early 2025.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13 Today we will take a close look at the route choice for leg 5-6 from the women's elite long-distance at the "Närkekvartetten" 3-day event in Sweden (May 11, 2024) The altitude gain on this leg will not have a significant effect on the route choice. The right-hand route doesn't look bad in the first half, with a fairly large section along the road. However, after the stream (point A), there is difficult navigation with challenging runnability. Therefore, we will abandon this route and choose between the 'direct' and 'left' routes. The straight and left routes are identical up to the midpoint (point B). Therefore, we have ample time on the course to make a decision. Additionally, the alternative of running to point B on the right side of the road (orange track) is not favourable as it involves a longer path compared to the straight route to point B, where there is a long path. Let's look at the differe

Left, Right, or Straight #7

Left, Right, or Straight #7 When I saw leg 4-5, I thought, 'What a not very interesting long leg with an unambiguous route on the right side along the crest of the hill.' However, it turns out that's not actually the case. Many athletes didn't take advantage of this opportunity. Do you think there's an equally viable alternative to the route on the right? source: https://www.livelox.com/Viewer/Costa-Calida-2024-Larga-Caravaca-/M-35A?classId=716564&tab=player Expect a detailed analysis of this leg in a few days.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9 Today, we will focus on a detailed analysis of leg 14-15 from the women's long course at 'Spring Spartacus' event in Hungary. I find the route choice for leg 14-15 to be simple and unambiguous. This perception is supported by the GPS tracks of the competitors. Interestingly, only one competitor from this class took the right-hand route out of all those who loaded their tracks on Livelox. We cannot definitively attribute this deviation to the athlete's error. For many runners, these competitions were part of the training camp for the European Championships 2024. The athlete may have had different objectives than simply completing the course quickly. It's possible that on this leg, she was practicing a challenging technical skill, such as running along a slope. However, based on this iformation, we can assess how effective the right-hand route was. The leg is 1060 metres long, crossing massive landforms. Therefore, one
