Last year a small team of elite Irish student orienteers took part in the championships and it is hoped that an Irish team will take part this year in Sweden.

WOC 2010

Thanks to all those elites that returned intention forms for this years WOC in Norway

It was a great response with 25 athletes showing their commitment to gaining selection for the WOC team.

It is great to see such strength and depth within the elite squad. Competition for places on the final team will be fierce, hopefully this competition will inspire all to perform at their best in the upcoming selection races (to be announced asap)

Good luck to all elites in 2010. The hard work starts now!!
