Hong Kong Team has finished all the programs in Junior World Orienteering Championships 2022 (JWOC), some athletes will stay in Europe preparing for the upcoming World University Orienteering Championships in Switzerland.

 

Middle and Long Distance events were cancelled due to several wildfire in Portugal. The IOF Council has unanimously decided to add the Sprint Relay as an official Medal Race at the JWOC 2022 immediately. The organizer also decided to organize an extra leisure Urban Relay event for all JWOC competitors.

 

Mr. Francis KO, Team Manager cum Coach said, “Although the plan was interrupted, our athletes are optimistic when facing those uncertainties. I must say they have a strong heart and perform well which is above my expectation. I believe the experience they go through would be a motivation for better improvement in foreseeable future.”
