Abstract(s)
This paper seeks to identify the factors and characteristics that determine the development
and maintenance of excellence in orienteering, by examining the life of an athlete who has been a world
champion 14 times. "Life Stories" were used as a method to collect data. The data was collected by
conducting semi-structured interviews and an analysis of various documents. This data was then
analyzed using the content analysis method. The results highlight the need for successful interaction
between socio-contextual and socio-personal factors over time. Therefore, achieving excellence in
orienteering is a multidimensional process that must be understood using a bio-psycho-socioaxiological perspective.
