Condolences of the World Mountain Running
Association to Torsten Carlius
Dear Friends,
May I add the condolences of the World Mountain Running
Association to those already expressed on the sad and sudden death of our friend
Torsten. Such is the frailty of life.
It is strange to have on my e-mail list messages exchanged with
Torsten only a few weeks ago.
Although he had no direct experience of our branch of athletics -Mountain
running - he was sympathetic to, understood well, and respected our traditions.
Consequently we came to a fine agreement to bring the successful WMRA Masters
World Championships under the WMRA umbrella from 2006 onwards.
He had just started out as an enthusiastic secretary of WMA following his 8 year
term as president and it was obvious that he loved the work and the involvement
it gave him with many people of different nations. He will be greatly missed and
difficult to replace.
Kind regards to all.
Danny Hughes
President. World Mountain Running Association.
