Does this mean Grace is switching to run for Britain?
(She was Australian at the recent Oz champs and is not in the British squad as yet)
If not, with all due respect to Grace, why couldn't a British internationalist be given the publicity opportunity?

So BOF submitted the wrong picture?
Surely they should be marketing the British squad and not just a good orienteering picture. Why not use Simone Niggli or Helena Jansson or Minna Kaupi? There are lots of good O-pictures around. This was a rare opportunity to foster a British orienteer which to my mind, has been missed.

I don't think personal publicity is the objective. It looks like this project is just promoting womens sport and it's great that orienteering is featured.

I don't see where you get the idea that a wrong photo has been sent in

Grace Crane has been a member of BOK and BOF for a few years. I don't see what relevance it is that she's Australian.

Because, according to BOF, they are "twenty four action shots of Great British sportswomen", not "twenty four action shots of great sportswomen".

Thats a fair point!
Maybe she has dual nationality?
In any event- using the link above i cant see a picture of Grace on the calendar anyway....

You can see the photo at http://www.illustratus.co.uk/shop/wsc2012 and clicking day 16 in the calendar on the right hand side

Good spot - I didnt see that part - the main ad seems to miss her out then.
