STATEMENT- No impact on POM2026 terrains after “Kristin”

Despite the extensive news coverage in the media, as well as images and videos shared on social networks, regarding the damage caused by Storm Kristin along the central coastal area of Portugal, we would like to inform that the heavy rain and strong winds did not affect the Mira Forest, specifically the area where the Portugal “O” Meeting 2026 will take place.

Over the course of this weekend, the organising team inspected the entire competition area, revisited all control sites, and confirmed that there is no impact on the terrain.

Conditions remain excellent for the delivery of the forest stages.

POM 2026 goes ahead — without any disruption.
