The second Orienteering World Cup Round of 2023 is about to begin in Ceska Lipa and Korce in Czechia from August 2nd until August 6th. The World Cup round starts with Sprint on Wednesday August 2nd, continues with a Sprint Relay on Thursday and finishes off with two forest races in the weekend – Middle on Saturday and Long on Sunday.
The two sprint races are organized in the historic center of Ceska Lipa while the forest races are organized in sandstone terrain that should be similar to the terrain of the World Orienteering Championships (WOC) 2021 in Czechia. No old maps are available for the World Cup forest area – see part of the WOC long course above for terrain similar to the forest terrains. All the world’s best athletes will be on the start – see the list of starters ordered by World Ranking at the bottom of this article.

Hmm, same issue as always with GPS on the Sprint: Totally confusing!
Live results seems also to struggle: wrong or missing times, athlete appears several times.
