Cross a country skiing, you say? Not on your life. Orienteering! If that word means littie to you, you will be comforted to know that in a litie survey- I just conducted haif of the people questioned didn't have, even a vague notion, of how this sport operates. 1Last July, the big interna- tional race, the "Fem Dagar" in Sweden attracted 11,000 competitors, one third of them women. Even thou gh the Olympic Committee has re- jectedi orienteering because of its lack of spectator appeal, the Swedes haven't got the message. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people turned, up to watch the event and T.V. cameras lurking behind trees and in bushes gave it exten- sive coverage. 1The object is to go into the woods and travel (walk or run) through a number of check-points in a specified order. This sounds relatively innocuous until one sees the maps that are used. Every b ou 1e r is recorded, along with hili gradations, wateir, paths, etc. The route is not laid out for you; using your compass, you must decide from the map the best way to get to control point number one and then two and so on. The "Fem Dagar" has 72 categories depending on age, sex and competence. In the topclass, one minute is spent studying the map and then they begin runnmng at top speed through the trackless forest. The race will be completed approxîmately one hour and 40 minutes later when they have checked into the last control p~oint. They will have covered somethfingý in excess of 12 miles, depend ing on the route they have cosen. Sometimes, the direct way up hilîs and through water is far too arduous and it is smarter to circumvent these diffîculties. "Femn Dagar" rmeans "five days" in Swedish. The namne derives from the length of the competition. Each ay one race is run in each class. Times are combined and the final day starting times are adjusted so the first person to cross the finish line is the winrner of the entire event. 1Last year, competitors rep- resented 27 different coun- tries. About 30 Canadians compêted and although no one registered him or herseif in the elite class, they did Well in the categories they entered. A tent town grew up around the compétition site as both competitors and spectators made a week of it. Gunnar Oland, one of Sweden's top orienteers is presently mapping the Gan- araska Forest so that Canad- ian orienteering groups like the one at Clarke High School can have the benefit of these detailed maps for training. .Canadians who have taken up orienteering have done s0 with great enthusiasm. Ron Lowry of Newcastle placed 5lst in the Worlds in Denmark last year. Ron is presently studying at McMaster Un- versity on one of two athletic scholarships ýgiven in Canada for orienteering. About 1,000 Canadians are actively involved in orienteer- ing, 600 of themn in Ontario. In 1948, the Swedes first interest- ed some Canadians in this sport. Since then it has grown stea dily but too slowly for the tastes of the sport's enthusi- asts. As they point out, Canada has ideal conditions for orienteering, lots of wild- erness and an innate love of sport. The problem, of course, is that Canadians love spectator sports and are somnewhat leery of what might be considered vigorous exercise. Sweden with its tradition of outdoor living has almost incorporated orienteerirng into its culture. Every tdwn of more than 1,000 people'has at least one orienteering, club. One clubhouse for 500 memn- bers costing $400,000 of public funds is, not unusuaL.' The facilities include saunas, restaurants. This public support inust make Lars Carlson, advisor of the Clarke High Schooi~ Or- ienteering Club, :wince. 'Can- ada makes no finaxicial con- tribution to the sport and committed enthusiasts are still' battling ignorance and disinterest. Twenty-five yeare ago, Dana Porter, then Ont- ario Minister of Education gave the sport an enthusiastic reception when he strongly encouraged map and compass work in all Ontario schools. Canada has one person employed full time to organize orienteering. Sweden with, a population of 9 million has 20. In fact, the 500 member club mentioned above has its own full time paid organizer.: Canada bas a long way to go. This seems like a worthiy object for Participaction. DON'T FORGETI BUSGE We Have....
