About Me
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, specialising in orienteering technique, for athletes of various levels.
In 2021, I was forced to leave Belarus with my family due to political repression. I was targeted for my active and open opposition to the country’s totalitarian regime after the 2020 elections. Facing the real threat of arrest and imprisonment, I had no choice but to flee. Now living in Poland, I continue my work in orienteering.
I also strongly condemn Russia’s horrific and unjustified war against Ukraine — a war of destruction and terror that has caused enormous suffering and tragedy for millions of people.
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 seven different countries.
