During previous years there have been many requests for an English TV broadcast that would be available outside Finland. Now these wishes will be fulfilled, as Louna-Jukola organizers and the Finnish Orienteering Federation have decided to implement a web TV broadcast for international audience – according to “Jukola class”, naturally.
Both relays will be covered. The commentary will be in English, and also former top level athletes will be present in the studio.
– We have an aspiration of serving better those following Jukola abroad. So, even if you won’t have a chance to be on the spot, you still have the opportunity to feel and enjoy the atmosphere of Jukola accompanied by commentary in English, extols Janne Virtanen, Event Manager of Louna-Jukola.
– Jukola is the most prominent annual orienteering event in Finland. We strive for increasing the popularity of orienteering and showing the high quality of the event also through TV broadcast. Hopefully, every Swedish, Norwegian or other member of the orienteering family staying home has an opportunity to follow Louna-Jukola through web TV, expresses Mika Ilomäki, CEO of the Finnish Orienteering Federation.
More information about the broadcast will be available closer to the event. Stay tuned!
