HistoryEdit
An international junior match was arranged first time in 1983 in Ry, Denmark, and then in 1984 (Hartberg, Austria) and 1985 (Font-Romeau, France). From 1986 (in Pécs, Hungary) the events became the unofficial Junior European Championships, and were held the following years, 1987 (Ambleside, England), 1988 (Eupen, Belgium) and 1989 (Seefeld/Kufstein, Austria). From 1990 (Älvsbyn, Sweden), the competition became official Junior World Orienteering Championships.
Current programEdit
Current program includes:
- Individual Sprint Event (Straight Final)
- Individual Middle Distance Event (Consists of a qualifier and ranked finals)
- Individual Long Distance Event (Straight Final)
- Team Relay
Originally JWOC started with an Individual (Classic) competition followed by a relay. The Short Distance Championships were added in 1991, which remained until 2004 where the Short Distance became the Middle Distance, falling into line with the World Orienteering Championships. An unofficial Sprint Race was held in Switzerland in 2005 in conjunction with the PostFinance-Sprint [1]. Shortly following this event the Sprint discipline was added to the program for Lithuania 2006.
