NORD group extended with three new members

NORD is a cooperation between the four Nordic orienteering federations in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. At the recent NORD meeting in Copenhagen the three Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were invited.

The seven countries decided to form a new and extended NORD group:

– It was an inspiring meeting in Copenhagen. We got to know each other better and we do hope to contribute to develop orienteering within our seven countries. I look forward to meeting again, chairwoman Astrid Waaler Kaas says.

As well as the admission of the three Baltic countries to the NORD group, the meeting was about exchanging good ideas and cooperating on different projects. It included discussions about regional development, map scale, anti-doping, TV-broadcasting and international championships. On the Saturday evening, the meeting participants changed to running clothes and head torches, and went for a run in the local forest on a course with permanent controls.
