High Performance News #97 – January 2023
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Feb 2023 - News Item

So, another year begins. Starting with Oceania in Tasmania, 2023 has already seen some encouraging performances, especially from some of the junior elites, and from Lizzie Ingham who, gaining personal places through her wins in W21E, has increased our possible team size for Switzerland. With regard to Oceania Championships the acceptance by IOF of the […]

HP News #93 – September 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 2 Oct 2022 - News Item

September tends to be the quiet month as the IOF season holds its breath waiting for the final round of the World Cup and the main interest in New Zealand, for those going, is the Australian Carnival. Although there has been a very thin NZL representation in the 21E classes, special mention must go to […]

HP News #92 – August 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Sep 2022 - News Item

August has seen a continuation of the 2022 international season with both World Cup Round 2 and the World University Championships. Although it has been quiet on the domestic front, the culmination of NZL’s major participation in the 2022 international season (except for the final round of the World Cup which is still to come) […]

HP News #91: July 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 31 Jul 2022 - News Item

Following on from the first sprint WOC July has been another month dominated by sprint orienteering at the international level. The devastating forest fires in Portugal reduced JWOC to also being a sprint only event, making it the third JWOC for which NZL athletes have missed out on the full experience. Be that as it […]

HP News #90: June 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 6 Jul 2022 - News Item

I hope everyone enjoyed watching WOC. The TV coverage was amazing and the view given was probably better than that seen on the ground. As we now turn to JWOC in less than a weeks time, I have confined myself to a general overview. However, QB2022 is not forgotten and there is a brief report […]

High Performance News #89 – May 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Jun 2022 - News Item

What an exciting month of orienteering! Starring with the final round of the National Sprint League and culminating in Tim Robertson’s fabulous performances in Sweden at the World Cup. Sandwiched in between were the test races for WOC in Denmark where, as well more great results from Tim, Penelope Salmon showed that she can be […]

High Performance News #87 – March 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Apr 2022 - News Item

The main focus of March since the NSL round has been the first set of JWOC trials held in the Wairarapa. After 2 years of no international competition these saw an eager field of around 30, split evenly between the men and the women, line up for their chance to prove that they should be […]

High Performance News #86 – February 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 7 Mar 2022 - News Item

With omicron leading to there being very little to report on during February I deliberately delayed this HP News until after the first round of the National Sprint League. We also have Godzone currently under way with its usual significant number of orienteers scattered through the teams. Aside from actual events there has been progress […]

HP News #85 – January 2022
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Feb 2022 - News Item

A promising start to 2022 with the successful not-Oceania Championships (reported below) has, perhaps predictably, descended into uncertainty with the outbreak of the omicron variant of Covid leading to cancellation of both the Super City Sprints and the Northern Champs. However, there are some positive signs both in terms of planning ahead – notably a […]

HP News #83 – November 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Dec 2021 - News Item

With another disrupted month, the recent Pokapu Championships have at least given us one event to report on. The main news however is the final disappearance of any chance of Australian participation at Oceania in January. Most of these events will therefore revert to being New Zealand only events and will not hold official Oceania […]

HP News #82 – October 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Nov 2021 - News Item

With Auckland, and now parts of Waikato, still in lockdown and the consequent cancellation/postponement of the Northern Region Championships it has been a very quiet October. The ever evolving Covid situation also means that planned events such as the Under 23 Camp, and even a local version of Oceania are in doubt. The latter has […]

HP News #81 – September 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 4 Oct 2021 - News Item

With lockdowns continuing to varying degrees around the country September has been another difficult month. With doubt now on not only the Oceania Championships but also the Northern Championships it has been difficult to keep motivation up, especially for those stuck in Level 3.  Nevertheless, the world goes on around us and planning continues on […]

High Performance News #80 – August 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 2 Sep 2021 - News Item

With Covid hitting the country orienteering has dropped somewhat off the radar in the last few weeks in New Zealand. Indeed, there is a rapid re-assessment of future events and training camps taking place. However, as well as some on-line activity there has been the second round of the World Cup and Jukola to watch […]

High Performance News #79, July 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 3 Aug 2021 - News Item

WOC2021 proved both exhilarating and frustrating for many in New Zealand. The latter through the inability to send athletes from home shores, the former because of Tim Robertson’s astounding success in winning a bronze in the sprint. Although mentioned below, I’d like to re-iterate here that, having seen the masses of documentation and regulations that […]

High Performance News #78 – June 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 1 Jul 2021 - News Item

After the loss of Queen’s Birthday 2020 to Covid-19 it was a near-run thing that the 2021 version did not get disrupted by the Canterbury flooding in the week leading up. However, we escaped and a report follows below. WOC2021 is also on the immediate horizon, with Toby Scott and Tim Robertson the only NZL […]

High Performance News #77 – May 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 29 May 2021 - News Item

May has been the month when, albeit with strict precautions against Covid, international orienteering came out of hibernation with the European Championships aka. World Cup Round 1. At home the NOL continued with the rescheduled Riverhead Orienteering Weekend. On the administrative front discussions have continued on a trans-Tasman league and on how best for New […]

High Performance News #76 – April 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 28 Apr 2021 - News Item

Finally, after three months of relative inactivity, the national orienteering scene got under away in April with not only a highly successful and competitive ONZ Championships but also the first of the 2021 Regional Championships, the South Island Championships. These are both reported on below, along with a look at the international scene, which starts […]

High Performance News #75 – March 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 31 Mar 2021 - News Item

With the loss of Riverhead Weekend to an Auckland lockdown, like January and February, March has come and gone without a real start to the national orienteering scene and we are left looking towards the ONZ Champs at Easter. Fortunately, activity did not grind to a halt everywhere, with a well-attended training camp run by […]

High Performance News # 74 – February 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 27 Feb 2021 - News Item

February always seems to me to be the month of the best weather and, for someone like me coming originally from the north of England, generally too warm for really serious orienteering. Nevertheless, it is the month when things (notwithstanding SOW) generally start to kick into action, thoughts start (I hope) to focus on training […]

HP News #73 – January 2021
By Malcolm Ingham - 31 Jan 2021 - News Item

Welcome to the 7th year of HP News – not something actually anticipated all those years ago. Hopefully it continues to provide a useful service even, at times like these. Most pertinent this month, at least to me, is the announcement that, thanks to the agreement of Auckland OC, a Knock Out Sprint will be […]

High Performance News #72 – December 2020
By Malcolm Ingham - 23 Dec 2020 - News Item

As we reach the end of troubled 2020 the main HP focus in December has been the Under 23 High Performance Camp in Nelson. This is reported on below with some additional information on fitness testing at these camps and what it may, or may not indicate. Also, plans for the 2021 NOL, an update […]

After the drought, the flood. So it was in November with all 3 regional championships in a space of 4 weeks. There was also some interesting information coming out from IOF regarding the prospects and intentions for WOC/JWOC2021, as well as the positive impact of the WREs held at the ONZ Champs. Also, below, the […]

And so it came to pass….after a 9 month gestation the baby that was the 2020 ONZ Championships was finally born, and what a weekend it was. Even without the trimmings of split times, results boards, social etc. etc, the general feeling seemed to be that everyone was so glad to actually have a major […]

At last, after several months in abeyance, an event (the Ultralong, to report on! Not only that but the renewed prospect of the ONZ Champs at Labour Weekend (even without the relay) and hopefully more to come after that. So, sit back, take a deep breath, and read on….                                                                                                                                                             Malcolm Ingham (mandg.ingham@xtra.co.nz) Ultralong The […]

High Performance News #68 – August 2020
By Malcolm Ingham - 4 Sep 2020 - News Item

Like the advertising quote from Jaws “…just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…” here we are again, with events, at least in Auckland, back in abeyance. Hopefully it does look, notwithstanding the extra week and a bit continuation of Levels 2.5 and 2, as though things are under control […]
