Ok, I found it on the IOF website. It was Petr Kozak in 1991 in Czechoslovakia. He won the Short Distance.

I wonder if Jan will consider this group research/sharing to be cheating, or just good publicity for OT? Hopefully the latter, because it would be pretty hard to police...

Should we maybe not discuss the answer, and let everyone figure it out themselves?

seems like the sort of quiz that if yo ucan't find the answer with google pretty quickly the question won't be fair, given the geographic spread of potential participants......

Well, this is probably the only time I'm ever going to be ahead of John and Peter in anything related to orienteering, so I better savor the moment.
