16 athletes from 9 countries are
nominated for the annual poll to find the most impressive
achievements in international orienteering. The poll is organized by
World of O – the major internet presence for international
orienteering news. Voting is open until December 21st.
Winning a Gold medal at the World
Championships is always a great achievement – but sometimes winning
a Bronze medal can be an even bigger achievement – based on what
your starting point was. The stories behind the medals and the great
achievements is what makes the sport truly fascinating! In “The
Orienteering Achievement of the Year” these stories are highlighted
– to make it possible to get a background for the amazing
achievements.
