Ralph's Latvia World Cup Round Up

Latvia World Cup Report “How was Latvia?” “It was great, the pastry game was strong” “And what about the orienteering?” “Some of it was really nice” “And the rest?” “Green” This short conversation, however accurate it may or may not be, does leave out some vital parts of an exciting weekend. The highlights of which were definitely an individual joint 4th place for Cat Taylor in the sprint race, and a 5th place for the Women’s relay team. There were also many other performances  which could easily be overlooked but which should still provide both the athletes themselves, and the many fans of the British Senior Team, cause for optimism.

World Cup Latvia Preview

The World Cup Round 3 is coming us and Ralph has done us a wee preview. International orienteering is back!

Two things of potential interest: this is “Round 3” because of course the World Championships were “Round 2”, and this is the first (forest) relay at a World Cup for many years, possibly 2006 but that is before I was an orienteering nerd so I am not totally sure.
