What ever happened to the Wallenborgs?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : orienteer kansas : One Thread

Whatever happened to the Wallenborgs? Did they ever make it back to Sweden or are they doomed to spend the remainder of their days in miserable california?

I had hoped to hear something of their lives since WWW, but that wish, I understand now, was only a pipe dream. Maybe Magnus and Sanna will go the way of their ill-fated web pages... into the abyss of obscurity... Or maybe they will be remembered as legendary figures, larger than life, whose stories will be told and retold around OK campfires in some distant future civilization very different from ours.

Whatever the case, I will remember their time in OK. I only wish I knew of their fate.

Last I heard, Magnus and Sanna had begun their new jobs in Uppsala. They had also done their first night orienteering training. (Though it must have been a let down after having run the inagural OK night- trail run -- "Late Night With Mook" -- way back in 1998.

The Wallenborgs are running for an O' club called IF Thor. If you poke around the IF Thor web page you'll find evidence that they are doing some orienteering. http://www.ifthor.c.se/orientering/

There seems to be some sort of tournament going on within IF Thor -- Magnus and Sanna are both participating but seem to have low seeds. Sanna seems to have been knocked out in the first round (but not by much), while it looks as if Magnus has not even had his first round match. From the IF Thor page, click on "Thorneringen" link.

Check out Magnus and Sanna's results from a night race (I think both were on the short course).
