🔥 In this film I take you on exciting adventures around my beautiful hometown of Madona, Latvia. Today, we're heading to the Smetceres Sils ski track, just 6km from my house, where the European and World Championships in ski orienteering are taking place.

Latvia is one of the key centers in the winter ski orienteering calendar this year, and Madona hosted one of the largest events of the winter season for a whole week. Teams from 16 countries, including Austria, Norway, and the USA, came to compete, with 129 men and 103 women taking part in the competition.

The Ski Orienteering World Championship is the official event that awards world champion titles in orienteering, and the first Ski World Championship was held in 1975.
