Junior World Championships now World Ranking Events

Junior World Championships now World Ranking Events

Since the IOF renewed its World Ranking rules for all disciplines, all Junior World Championships A finals also count for the World Ranking. This will make it easier for juniors to gather World Ranking points, and this will especially benefit the juniors that are going to be seniors the following year.

As the Junior World Championships are World Ranking Events, all competitors must have an IOF ID when entering to the event. If you are planning to participate in the Junior World Championships – whether it is in foot orienteering or MTB orienteering, but do not yet have a WR ID, please apply for one as soon as possible by sending this form: IOF Athlete ID request template to the address: new_AthleteID@orienteering.org.
