Esittelyssä uusia eGroupin suunnistajia

Ensi kaudella eGroupiin liittyy aktiivisemmin taas muutama uusi kansainvälinen suunnistaja, joista osa on tosin käynyt kokeilemassa essun paidassa juoksemista lyhyesti jo 2015 kaudella. eGroupin keski-ikä on alle 20 vuotta, ja tuoreimmat uudet juoksijat tuovat edelleen vahvistusta tähän ikäryhmään. Ryhmän tärkein tavoite on edelleen nauttia yhdessä suunnistuksesta, tukea muita ryhmäläisiä ja kehittyä kansainväliselle tasolle toisiltaan oppien sekä kokemuksia jakaen. Tervetuloa pitämään hauskaa, kehittymään yhdessä , ja tavoittelemaan JWOC- ja viestimenestystä kaudella 2016, Mikhail, Kirill ja Vlad!

For the 2016 season the number of Essu eGroup runners will increase with additional 3 orienteers. The average age for our group will stay in under 20 years, and new members will strengthen our power in next season’s tough international competitions and relays. Main goals for eGroup will still be to enjoy orienteering team training, while learning from each other, supporting the team and develop on elite runner career path. Welcome to develop with other runners, enjoy eGroup team orienteering and wish you great JWOC- and relay success on 2016 season, Mikhail, Kirill and Vlad!
