Orienteering on an international level

Have you ever wondered what the International Orienteering Federation (IOF) does, what the long term goals of IOF are and what's involved at that level?? If you are interested on what's happening on the international level of orienteering, here are some websites:

www.orienteering.org
(website of the IOF; includes structure, resources, athletes interviews etc)

www.facebook.com/iofarena
(facebook page)

http://orienteering.org/resources/publications/inside-orienteering/
(subscribe to the IOF online journal "Inside Orienteering")
The latest issue includes an article on Christine Brown who is from Tasmania and is a senior IOF event adviser and many articles from the international stage......Very interesting to read how the IOF is very committed to have orienteering included in the Olympics hence there are a lot of spectator-friendly events on the World Cup agenda; ie middle distance and sprints - not always to the athlete's satisfaction !!

Headlines from orienteering sites all over the world, athlete's blog, events, maps etc
