  • 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. Tom Hollowell Secretary General and CEO IOF THE PROGRAM The World Cup 2021 consists of the following 9 competitions. Comp.

  • Jukolan Viestin Tarina 1989-2006
    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
