How can we change this?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Switzerland, we are very active when it comes to organizing actual Orienteering events. However, these events are often not visible to the bigger public as these are \u00abOrienteering-insider events\u00bb. WOD would be a possibility to show Orienteering in the spotlight to everybody. Good examples in this respect are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oepfel-trophy.ch\/\">\u00abApple-Trophy\u00bb<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olgsga.ch\/rheintaler-ol-cup\/\">Orienteering Cup in the Rhine valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>There is an entry in the WOD-map in Volketswil. On your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100000481423715\">Facebook-page<\/a> that this has been your personal contribution to WOD. How did it come you organized this WOD-event?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a good coincidence. Every now and then one of my sponsors asks me to organize an O-event in combination with a presentation. These are excellent opportunities to correct misconceptions and prejudiced about our sport. The event a JOWA [a big Swiss bakery business] happened to take place at the WOD-day. The participants completed a course through forest, suburbs and the company site. Whether walking or running, most participants have been fascinated by the feeling of finding controls only by means of a map. It\u2019s this feeling that I like to convey to people. That\u2019s also one of the reasons why I agreed to become WOD ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The interview was first published in the august issue of the Swiss Orienteering Magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event at Volketswil has been organized by WOD ambassador Dani Hubmann for a company called JOWA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.worldorienteeringweek.com\/?attachment_id=2904\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"115\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.worldorienteeringweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/dh_jowa-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldorienteeringweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/dh_jowa-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldorienteeringweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/dh_jowa-768x293.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldorienteeringweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/dh_jowa.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did it happen that you have been appointed WOD ambassador?&nbsp; Swiss Orienteering asked me if I was available and wanted to contribute to WOD.
