WMTBOC in Jičín will be remembered as top event, IOF Adviser says

As mentioned last time, final year of preparations has been kicked off during summer. Very experienced IOF Adviser Magnus Wallenborg, who advised for example very recent and decent championship in Denmark, 2019, visited Jičín and all event locations. "As an Event Adviser for the WMTBOC in Jičín in Czech Republic I feel confident that the Championship will be remembered as a top event," he wrote.

Sweden passed the baton to us

Jicin/Falun - Championships 2022 are done and dusted. We are glad that we could be there and see everything first hand. Thank you for welcoming representatives of the next event in Sweden. According to cycling etiquette, we give Kudos to the whole event and hope all the organizers had a good and well-deserved rest by now. For us this means the final year of preparations for WMTBOC 2023 just started. We did some observations and we have some ideas in mind. Here is a little sum-up and teaser for Jičín 2023.

Jičín - a town worth visiting!

Jičín - Every little child in the Czech Republic knows this town thanks to bed time fairy tales and the town is very proud of that. Surrounded by beautiful forests and situated at the edge of an area called Bohemian Paradise it has to be the perfect place for MTBO fairytales that are surely going to happen there in August 2023, right?

Invitation

Dear friends of mountain bike orienteering,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am honored to invite you to the Czech Republic for the World Championship in MTBO 2023. The races will take place around the cities of Jičín, Nová Paka, Mostek, Ostružno, Sobotka and Seletice. The center of the championship will be the beautiful city of Jicin, which is the gateway to the area called Bohemian Paradise.

The combination of the cyclist's maximum physical performance with navigation in unfamiliar terrain is what makes our sport attractive to both racers and spectators.

I sincerely believe that in addition to sports experiences, you will also have unforgettable experiences from the hospitality and beauty of not only the Bohemian Paradise. That is why I would like to invite you to the official training camp, which will take place as part of MTBO 5 days in Pilsen.

We are looking forward to and believe me that we are doing our best to make the 21st World Orienteering Championships unique.

I wish all the competitors good luck and all the spectators a great experience.

Pavel Musil
Chairman of the organizing committee
