Tournament Score
The World Championship in Krasnoyarsk was highly appreciated by the President of the International Orienteering Federation Leho Khaldny [12] :
| I am very pleased with the organization of the World Cup in Krasnoyarsk, you have a large team involved, which, of course, is due to the fact that our championship is a test event for the management of the Winter Universiade 2019. Everything takes place at the highest level: an amazing atmosphere at the stadium, a lot of spectators, a lot of media. Usually ski orienteering does not cause such interest. |
