As you probably know, nominations are done by World of O’s readers. “Course of the Year 2018″ is the 8th edition of “Course of the Year”, and except for this edition, there have as far as I can recall only been elite (or high level) courses nominated by the readers earlier. You have actually even nominated a course yourself some years ago, and that was also an elite course (a course from a Norwegian Championship long distance). So based on your feedback here, I am surprised that the only course you have nominated for “Course of the Year” is an elite course.

This year is the first edition where we actually have a nomination of a course for young people (coincidentally the nomination was done by your wife, http://omaps.worldofo.com/index.php?id=244026); this is also one of the courses you can vote for as course of the year.

What about all the other good courses made in 2018? What about all the courses made for bringing new young athletes into the sport? What about all the effort put down in the World Orienteering Day – is it really so that none of these courses was good enough to come on a nominated list of 75 courses? But, I should perhaps not be that surprised – all favorites courses presented are also only from ELITE runners…
