1600 votes from all over the world!

Jan Kocbach December 21, 2006 Poll Comments Off on 1600 votes from all over the world!

After three days, more than 1600 votes have been given in the “Best of Orienteering 2006 Poll” staged by World of O and Orienteering Today – of these about 40% in the junior category. Votes have been coming in from all over the world, and this surely must be one of the largest and most international orienteering polls of this kind. But still – we want to give even more people the possibility to vote for the best orienteering achievement in 2006 and the best junior in orienteering in 2006 – to make the poll as representative as possible!

More interviews to come
I hope you didn’t miss the very interesting interview with Kajsa Nilsson – “Kajsa Nilsson – Living the Dream” yesterday made by Orienteering Today journalist Jan Skricka? More interviews with the nominated runners are to come the next weeks, so you will get to know the top Orienteering Elite even better.

Help us getting out to the corners of the o-world!
Have you got a web page in your orienteering club? Or a personal home page? Put up a link to the “Best of Orienteering 2006 Poll” – and make it possible for everybody to read about the fantastic achievements these fine nominated men and women have done this year – and to decide who really did the best achievement.
This is also a good way to spread orienteering as an elite sport out to the people doing orienteering in their small corner of the world – not really knowing much about the top runners. Feel free to take a few extracts from the poll description for some of the runners to tell what these achievements are really about. What’s in it for you? As you can see at the poll page, Among all orienteering related websites with on average more than 50 visits a day linking to the poll using the small image to the right or writing a news story about the poll, three prizes will be drawn..
