Ionut Zinka from Romania and Kiril Nikolov from Bulgaria. Kiril finished 6th in this year’s WOC sprint, and Ionut got the 8th place in the middle distance, showing the world that the Balkans are developing in the right direction. Orienteering.is made a cross-interview with those two guys, discussing their way of living, their ambitions and careers.
