punkter Interview with Ola Jodal Main Speaker for Smålandskavlen


Here comes the first interview before Smålandskavlen 2010th .
This interview is with the speaker Ola Jodal. Here it will come back interviews with other officials and participants in the arrangement Smålandskaveln 2010.

What is your relationship to Smålandskavlen, have you sprung it yourself?

I ran my first Smålandskavle in Vimmerby 1985th In total, over the years it has become about 15 starter. Unfortunately, my too frail body had a tendency to be worn and damaged at the end of the season, otherwise it would become significantly more take-offs.

For me it is Smålandskavlen for three things: Quality, variety and a tough challenge for the runners. Often, the debate today in the orientation that you have to choose either to reward good terrain, good map and tough technical courses, or to invest in a good venue with good service and an opportunity for the audience to follow the race. I personally feel that it is a really high quality events only when they manage to combine these two things. What I like about Smålandskavlen is the most sought strive to be good at both två. En extra spice with Smålandskavlen is suspect to Småland is so large and varied that the relay is so varied terrain. One year for it to be able to cope småkuperad and very detailed Oskarshamn terrain. A year later settled the contest in a considerably more hilly and forest area at vägvalsrik Isaberg. And even if the runway has become slightly shorter in recent years, it is still Smålandskavlen a contest in which the hard runners are rewarded. Tough courses, combined with tough weather conditions allow only those who can bite the bullet well as a chance to succeed quite well.

What do you expect from you this season in the relay connection?

I expect smooth and exciting relays on both women's and men's side. In fact, both men as the women's relay looks more uncertain than out in a long time. Even if I can count out 10 men's team and 10 women's teams, there's a pretty big risk that I miss a team that wins one of this year's major international relays. It also feels good to all the major relays this year looks to be in really nice and technical terrain.

There will be some teams that can challenge Halden?

 Yes, there will certainly be available. Halden deserve all due respect to those in 1990 - and the 2000s brought staffetrun forward. During the late 90's they dominated the men's side because they had the best team and that they also were best able to run the relay. During the mid-2000s, it was a series of laws that strengthened so that the paper had as good law Halden, but then continued Halden to dominate because they were still best to run the relay. They were simply better than the competition to get the most out of all the runners when it really was. But the last two years, they have other teams caught up. In fact, the men's side has Halden, although in most cases done well, can not win either 10-mile, or Jukola Smålandskavlen during the past two years.

On the women's side Halden has always been strong but they have never dominated in the same manner in which they carried out on the men's side and that is why they never had the same favorite press as the men's team. The victory in the 10-miles in 2009 shows that they can win the big relays but I agree at least Ulricehamn and Domnarvet as major favorites for the season 2010

How do you rank the Smålandskavlen among the various relays? For me, 10-mile and Jukola the course's most prestigious relays. Then SM Relay and 25-a-side. Nearest then I put Smålandskavlen.

 Do you know the area that these races will go in? Actually not very good. What I can remember I have never run into the area. I have only seen the old map, and from the looks really like an area that I feel good taste: Fast The term yet technically.

 

How do you see the mission to be part of steering the audience through the year Smålandskavle? It will be great fun . I really do think that basically that all the speaker's job is fun but Smålandskavlen 2010 is definitely one of those I look forward to most.
