Wow, I have never heard of this beore, is this a recent initiative?
Also is it for FootO only or TrailO and MTBO too? I always give a wry smile when I see the size of the "athlete contributions" for WOC - our costs are typically a lot higher (although to be fair one factor is because we tend to live as a team and sometimes our Para team-mates have required more specialised accomodation). This year we had our entries paid by BO, but nothing else, not even accreditation. Not only that but our TM was self-funded (I suspect the WOC support team get some expenses paid from somewhere). Next year there is both a WTOC and an ETOC and those selected for both will find it expensive.
