World of O News
Today another small contribution in spreading orienteering news between people from different countries has been made here at World of O. The blog of the best Japanese runner, Yoko Bamba, and the Russian orienteering page O-sport.ru have been added to World of O. And as most of the ‘World of O’-readers don’t understand much of neither Japanese nor Russian, you can get the news article directly translated to English. The same translation service is now also available for pages with main language of Italian, Spanish, German and French. Note that the translations are far from perfect, but they give information about what the story is about – enough to understand what the maps and pictures in an article are all about…
Speaking of spreading orienteering news; several interesting new pages have been added lately:
- Yoko Bamba. The best Japanese orienteer in 2006. If you have not installed a Japanese language pack, you will see only question marks, but the translation service still gives you information. See also Yoko Bamba runner profile.
- O-sport.ru. The first Russian orienteering page in World of O. Again, use the translation service to understand something if you are not too familiar with Russian.
- News-O from Spain. The first Spanish page present at World of O.
- Celine Dodin. The first female French orienteer present at World of O – and also the best female French orienteer in 2006. See also Celine Dodin runner profile.
- The Scottish Orienteering Association. The first page from Scotland in World of O.
- Ivo Danailov. A promising Bulgarian junior runner. The first Bulgarian page in World of O.
- Emiliano Corona. An Italian runner currently ranked as 170th at the World Ranking. See also Emiliano Corona runner profile.
