ORIEN.ASIA, the Asian orienteering information site, was originally written in Swedish but over time most of the posts became bilingual. Now we decide to start a new English site to expand our audience. Material on this website will be translated to English over time. Past bilingual posts may be accessed through the Swedish website. Welcome!
Hello Asian orienteers! Since you’re reading this post right now, I assume you’re from one of the dozens of Asian countries where orienteering is booming quick!
This website was originally produced with Swedish orienteers in mind, to attract orienteers from the greatest orienteering country in the world to experience their favourite sport in exotic territory. Now, the website is about to embark on a greater mission: to promote Asian orienteering to the WHOLE WORLD! If Asia is the most populous, most dynamic, and quickest developing continent of the world, why shouldn’t orienteering be?

Jag är ganska upptagen på den här semester-och-arbetsresa—men det finns två tävlingar här (både sprint) som du kan tänka dig om du befinner dig i Asien.
I’m quite busy on this holiday-cum-business trip—but there are two events here (both sprints) that you can consider if you are in Asia.
I sommarvärmen—springa sprint / In the summer heat—sprint!
Osportz kommer att organisera sprint på Singapore Polytechnic. Campuset är inte så stor, men ganska tät med många parker mellan byggnader. Anmäl före den 11:e juli, ingen anmälan på plats!
Osportz is going to organise sprint at the Singapore Polytechnic. The campus is not big, but quite dense with many parks between buildings. Register before 11 July, no on-site registration!
Den är verkligen sprintknockout med fyra steg. Försök att inte bli “knocked out”—Men oroa inte—du får springa öppna banan gratis om det händer! Du kan också välja att anmäla till öppna banan mot en avgift. MetOC organiserar. Anmäl före den 8:e juli. (Den här är precis skälet till min upptagenhet!)
It’s actually sprint knockout with four stages. Try not to get knocked out—but don’t worry—you can run the open course for free if that happens! You can also choose to register for the open course with a fee. MetOC organises the event. Register before 8 July. (This is the exact reason I am busy now!)
