• Can selected athletes please confirm their availability by emailing Ivan (elites@orienteering.ie) before Monday the 13th of June.

This year was another tough selection campaign with many squad members having excellent results during the races making it a very difficult final decision for the team selectors.
The terrains at this years world champs in Chambery will provide a special challenge to all orienteers taking part. The Irish team members involved have shown that they have the ability to meet this challenge and we wish them well in the build-up to the big competition.
