Bert Tippi—Your Coach
Bert has enjoyed sports his entire adult life. Growing up in a small rural town, he had to find plenty of activities on his own. Bert has dabbled in many different sports, and that’s how he discovered cross-country skiing at the age of 10. In 2014, he completed his master’s degree at the University of Tartu, and for the past 10 years, he has been working as a cross-country skiing coach at CFC Sports Club. While also enjoying competition himself, Bert has completed nine Tartu Marathons and numerous Estoloppet Marathons. Last year, he also managed to place second in the Estonian Championships in marathon running. This year, he also managed to break the marathon record, finishing in under two and a half hours. Bert said, “I don’t live for sports—sports live through me!”
