World Orienteering Championships 2012

Lausanne 14.7.2012 – 21.7.2012 – Switzerland




WELCOME TO THE WORLD ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2012


WOC 2012

On behalf of our WOC 2012 committee we extend to all participants a very warm
welcome to the 2012 World Orienteering Championships. The committee is delighted
to once again stage the World Championships, this time in cooperation with the
host-city Lausanne in western Switzerland.

We are committed to the development and continuous success of the sport of
orienteering. Together with Lausanne, the world’s sports capital, we therefore
intend to organise a very compact championships week with short distances to all
events while still challenging the athlete with widely varying terrain. Our aim
is to demonstrate to the international sports organisations affiliated in
Lausanne that orienteering is a modern sport involving excitement, emotion and
action but is still at one with nature. The short distances – three out of four
finals are within 10 km of the International Olympic Committee headquarters –
allow a very environmentally friendly transportation concept. The short
distances also allow the athletes to focus on the competitions instead of the
accompanying logistics. The media will be able to work under optimum conditions
due to the proximity of all arenas to the splendid facilities offered by
Lausanne.

In 2012, Switzerland will welcome the world’s best orienteers. We are convinced
that the combination of the sprint races in the urban areas of Lausanne, the
long distance and relay races in typical continental terrain and the challenge
of the middle distance races in demanding Jura-terrain with karstic features and
semi-open forest will test all your orienteering skills. The WOC 2012 committee
is working hard to organise a memorable high quality championships week for you.
A week that will certainly be clearly visible on the world sporting stage 2012,
surrounded by important sport events such as the European football championships
prior to, and the Olympic Games after, the WOC in Lausanne.

While present in our country for the WOC 2012 preparation, enjoy the rich
offering of nearby tourist landmarks. Lausanne and its surroundings are an ideal
place to combine sport and leisure. We wish every participant good luck and
personally rewarding performances.
