YLE (Finnish Broadcasting company) have producted short demonstartion of ski-orienteering and presentation of Olli-Markus Taivainen as a athlete to bring it out of television at noon on sunday between broadcastings of World Championships in biathlon and cross-country skiing. YLE is Finland´s national public service company, so that´s "unique" (hope not!) challenge to have such a voluminous visibility for ski-orienteering and for myself too. I´ll publish the link to presentation if it will be seen in internet afterwards. Headline on FOF´s website.---Link to the presentation, unfortunately is to be seen only in Finland.
I´m selected to ski-WOC in Japan. During winter have I done enough-good performances on international ski-O events to be selected to Team Finland. In my diary this week was planned for beginning of adapting to summer-time (+1h), but actually have I to adapt to time in Japan (+7h).
