I nominate Piotrek Parfianowicz with his third JWOC medal, with a silver medal in sprint distance. He has shown that he is good in each discipline collecting three medals (2011 – relay gold (setting similiar to middle one, 2013 – long gold, and finally the race which shows that he is good in each discipline silver in sprint distance in Bulgaria.) He’s results are the best ever Juniors results in Polish History.

Søren Bobach
I nominate Søren Bobach for his impressive performance and gold medal at the WOC sprint. His gold medal was a result of many reasons. Many know of his huge talent, but fewer know of the huge amount of work and patience put into his recovery from a double stress fracture in both navicular bones. A path full of doubt, set-backs and frustration.
Søren is also nominated for being a part of a very dedicated and specific preparation for the sprint and the many technical and physical aspects of sprint orienteering. A preparation not possible without strong support and a high level of corporation between all athletes in the Danish national team.
Søren could not have done without, it was truely a gold medal in the spirit of the sport of orienteering and elite sports in general

I nominate Edgars Bertuks,because he was hard working,although he did not succeed good in World Orienteering Championship 2014,he had traumatic season. After World Championship he started to training even more difficult.
He won Latvian championship in middle distance.
This is why I nominate him to this award.
