Watching recent Universiade got to know this sport, and I grown to quite like it. So, will definitely check World Championship.

 

I thought it was an interesting sport, especially with GPS pages synced. 

 

First event tomorrow at 9 am CET, check it out too!

I liked watch orienteering during the World Games for the same reason.

Having synced GPS pages is sort of the only way to at least somewhat follow what's going on (at least for me), without that it's just pure mayhem and waiting for people to arrive at split times in any random order

I found this easier and more enjoyable to follow if it has all of my attention, and not for example...curling on the TV and this on comp or something like that.

Lovely championships, I managed to catch all the races. Luckily, official site still has all the videos, nothing is spoiled, and easily accessible GPS pages.

 

Looking forward to non-winter orienteering events.
