The 36th World Orienteering Championships were held in Østfold, Norway in August 2019.
The competitions consisted of middle distance, long distance and relay, for women and men, respectively. Both individual women’s competitions were won by Sweden’s Tove Alexandersson. She won the long distance with a margin of six minutes ahead of Lina Strand, and the middle distance with a margin of five seconds ahead of Simona Aebersold. Norway’s Olav Lundanes won both the long and middle distances for men, ahead of Kasper Fosser and Gustav Bergman, respectively. Sweden won the women’s relay ahead of Switzerland and Russia. Sweden also won the men’s relay, ahead of Finland and France.
Competition format
From 2019 the world championships are split in two (forest and park), each being held every second year. The 2019 edition is a pure "forest" format. The competitions are the middle and long distances, and relay.[1]
