How on earth is it 'orienteering' when apparently it's so easy to get oriented that you finish in 13 minutes?

Well if you are 4 time world champion you can apparently understand these maps and run 3.8 km in 13 minutes.

This sounds interesting but 3.8km isn't something wow. Put them in a labyrinth/city to cross 10km instead

I have a bad sense of orientation .... I would run for hours and risk losing myself

It's not called sprint without a reason
