WOC Bulletin-3.

An IOF article in January is entitled

A very special WOC on a very special year for Latvia

The championships in Latvia will be 35th WOC and the last one in modern history of orienteering with both sprint and forest races on the programme.

The British team is quite large, with seven women and seven men, all members of the senior squad.

Of the fourteen athletes, three are selected for sprint only, three for sprint and forest, and eight for forest only. We noted in our 'one race' article how half the team, seven athletes, are concentrating on a single race.

Four of them were born in 1991, with four younger and six older.

The British Orienteering Selection Announcement: GB team for the World Championships in Latvia was reported in our news item at the end of May.

See also our news item about other 2018 selections, including for World Cup Rounds 3 and 4.
