Who did the Orienteering Achievement of the Year 2014?

Suggest a nomination for the Orienteering Achievement of 2014 and win great prizes! Remember that we are not necessarily looking for the best orienteer/team of 2014 – but rather the best achievements. There is one class for men and one for women – juniors can also be suggested, the same goes for teams.

Among all really good nomination texts, we will draw one or two of the great sponsor prizes (more about the prizes below in the sponsor section). The number of prizes drawn will depend on the number of nomination suggestions being posted. Many suggestions = more prizes drawn.

• Write your nomination text at the World of O Facebook page – Remember to add a note about which sponsor prize you are interested in – it would be a pity to win a prize you are not interested in?!

Sponsors for the Orienteering Achievement of 2014 are Five+Five days Tuscany 2015 (Italy), Sun-o Barbate Training Camp 2015 (Spain), Riga Orienteering Week 2015 (Latvia), Scottish O-Week 2015 (Scotland), Bergen Sprint Camp 2015 (Norway), OOCup 2015 (Slovenia), Croatia Open 2015 (Croatia) and Sälen 3+3 2015 (Sweden).
