Congratulations to all.

'Team GB' suggests it is a selected team.... it isn't. It's a bunch of individuals from the UK travelling independently to WMOC :)

'Team GB' is at JWOC and will be at 'WOC'
Go orienteering in Lithuania......... best in the world:)

Seeing they are beign grouped as GB that reminded me that I am sure I have seen some photos of some of the English WMOC chaps wearing England O tops/tracksuits, was that the case? Did the Scots and Welsh sort out a team kit too?

Speaking of Nationalism, I noticed at one of the recent international events (World Uni Champs I think) that the GB chaps were down as "United Kingdom of ..." on the results.

I thought BOF had a deal with IOF that we should be listed as "Great Britain" to avoid confusion/embarassment/or whatever it was with the Ireland team.

Not a team kit for WMOC but a few members of the England Interland Team were at WMOC. Dragon Flags were out in force and I also saw the odd Saltire.
hop fat boy, hop!

BOF may have a deal with IOF but World Universities isn't an IOF event.
