  • World Cup 2021 Pre-Bulletin
    WORLD CUP 2021 PRE-BULLETIN Orienteering World Cup 2021 Pre-Bulletin WELCOME TO THE WORLD CUP 2021 Dear athletes, Dear fans of orienteering, We, the World Cup consortium, are happy to be able to present a great program for the 2021 World Cup. The World Cup 2021 will consist of nine competitions over 3 events. The same design as for the World Cup 2020. The locations are carefully selected to shape a series of competitions that place demands on a variety of skills. The first round, in Sweden, will require a high level of technical navigation skills. The second round, in Russia, will be all about speed, in legs and brain. The ability to handle high altitude alpine terrain will be a key skill in the third and decisive round. The program marks a further step towards a consolidation and quality improvement of the World Cup. 2021 will be the second year under the management of the World Cup consortium, consisting of IOF and Verein Swiss Cup. This stability gives good opportuni- ties for making the cup attractive to both athletes, fans and the media. The media is showing an increasing interest and we have reasons to believe that TV coverage will be excellent during 2021. We wish athletes, teams, partners, spectators and fans everywhere welcome to the World Cup 2021.

    JUKOLAN VIESTIEN TARINA II Vuodet 1989- Kaukametsäläiset ry 2006 Jukolan viestin tarina II Vuodet 1989- 2 Jukolan viestin tarina II Vuodet 1989- 3 ALKUSANAT Vuonna 1989 ilmestyi 40:nnen Jukolan jälkeen Matti Salmenkylän toimittamana mainio Jukolan viestien historiateos ’Jukolan viestin tarina 1949-1988’. Siinä kerrotaan mm. viestien perustamisesta, alkuvaiheista, tärkeistä henkilöistä matkan varrella ja tietysti kustakin viestistä parhaine tuloksineen, kuvineen ja karttoineen. Nyt tehty ’jatko-osa’ kuvaa lähinnä kirjan jälkeisiä vuosia. Koska toivomuksia kirjankin vuosien lisäkartoista ja kaikista tuloksista on tullut runsaasti, on tähän pyritty vastaamaan. Aivan kaikkia tuloksia ei kuitenkaan alkuvuosilta ole löytynyt. Näiden lisäksi sivuilla esitellään jälleen eräitä avainhenkilöitä sekä esitettyjen toiveiden mukaisesti myös eräitä tausta-asioita. Viestien kuvauksissa kilpailujen selostusten osuus on kirjaa laajempi, koska 1 sivun tilarajoitusta ei ole. Jatko-osa ilmestyy kirjanomaisena netti-versiona. Siitä jokainen voi vapaasti tulostaa itse ei-kaupallisiin tarkoituksiin joko kaikki tai vain haluamansa osat ja vaikka sidotuttaa ne kirjaksi. Tähän on päädytty lähinnä taloudellisista syistä. Painettuna Tarina II:n kustannus olisi noussut niin korkeaksi erittäinkin, kun kokemusten valossa sen painos olisi ollut pieni, että sellaisen tekeminen ei ollut järkevää. Projekti on kaikkiaan kestänyt kolmisen vuotta. Kun aiotut ammattikirjoittajat eivät lopulta odottelujen jälkeenkään kiireiltään ehtineet kilpailukuvauksia kirjoittaa eikä vuoden

August 1999 Internet Auftritt rund um das Schweizer Team Marcel Meier / Peter Mohn WOC 99 - News Schweiz bleibt hinter den Skandinaviern, erzielt aber viele Ehrenplätze. Die Schweizer Bilanz der WM in Schottland wird durch die Bronzemedaille von Alain Berger im Klassichen Einzellauf überstrahlt, wo das gesamte Männerteam eine starke Leistung bot und grosse Erwartungen für das Staffelrennen weckte. Der vierte Staffel-Rang ist sicher solide, wer das Rennen mitverfolte weiss, dass viel mehr dringelegen wäre. Enttäuschend verlief der Kurzstrecken-Lauf aus Schweizer Sicht. Dem Frauenteam waren im Vorfeld der WM grosse Medaillenchancen in allen Disziplinen eingeräumt worden. Trotz etlicher solider Leistungen mit Rängen unter den ersten zehn blieb aber ein Exploit aus. Der fünfte Rang in der Staffel war etwas unglücklich. Erfreulich sicher die Bilanz der WM-Neulinge Simone Luder, Käthi Widler und Matthias Niggli, die sich alle sicher für die Finalläufe qualifizierten und im Bereiche ihrer Möglichkeiten liefen.

  • The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering
    The using of modern technologies in orienteering Michal Frainšic1, Petr Špicar2, Ludmila Fialová2 1 Department of Outdoor activities, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Didactics of sport, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Char- les University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article deals with introduction and contribution of modern technologies used in a sport branch of ori- enteering sports in comparison with the past when these technologies were not used. Modern technologies contributed to expansion of orienteering sports. They made this branch of sport more attractive for both - com- petitors and spectators. Facilities like SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit and Racom transfered on-line results from race to competitors and spectators, who are in the race center. Thanks to those facilities spectators can also watch the race on-line on TV or on the Internet. Program OCAD made the preparation of orienteering maps and tracks faster and more effective. Modern technologies also speeded up the process of race preparation. Key words Emit, OCAD, Oorg, Open Orienteering Mapper, Purple Pen, Orienteering organiser, orienteering, orientee- ring sports, Racom, SPORTident, Trac-Trac. Souhrn Článek se věnuje představení a přínosu moderních technologií využívaných ve sportovních odvětvích orien- tačních sportů v porovnání s dobou minulou, kdy tyto technologie ještě využívány nebyly. Moderní technolo- gie se zasloužily o rozvoj orientačních sportů, toto sportovní odvětví zatraktivnily a to jak závodníkům, tak i široké veřejnosti.

  • Sesongsboka 2014
    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Denne boka er tenkt til alle medlemmene i Bækkelagets o-gruppe. Hensikten er å informere medlemmene om hva som skjer i klubbregi sesongen 2014. Vi vil her presentere foreløpige treningsplaner for sesongen, samt klubbens opplegg på de ulike arrangementene og samlingene. I tillegg har vi satt opp en dugnadsliste. Det er også en oversikt over hvilke personer man skal kontakte dersom man har spesifikke spørsmål rettet mot spesielle oppgaver. Dette vil være foreløpige planer og endringer kan tilkomme. Det er derfor viktig å følge med på nyheter på hjemmesiden (bsk-orientering.com) og informasjon i ukesmailen. Bækkelagets sportsklubb sin o-gruppe ønsker å gi et godt tilbud til alle sine medlemmer, både til yngre og eldre, mosjonister og eliteløpere. I dag jobber vi aktivt med rekrutteringsarbeid samtidig som vi ønsker å tilrettelegge for eliteløpere med toppambisjoner. Hver uke sendes en informasjonsmail ut av sportslig leder, Simen, og vi oppfordrer alle medlemmer til å lese denne. Dersom du ikke er på denne mail-listen, ta selv kontakt med Simen på mail ([email protected]). Vi oppfordrer alle medlemmene også til å sjekke Eventor jevnlig for frister til ulike arrangementer i klubbregi. Håper så mange som mulig kan stille på Årsmøte 5. mars 2014 – her er det muligheter for å påvirke klubbens arbeid videre.
