The international season 1986

1986 was the year Lars Palmquist ran all comptetions of the World Cup but one plus the Nordic Championships. With his maps and one from okansas I recap the international season 1986.

1986 was the first official World Cup, which then was held every second year until 2004. From then the World Cup was held annually (more about the World Cup  on wikipedia.org and the World Cup 1986 on the IOF website. Elite runners on the international level  alternated a year with orienteering all over the world with a year with the focus on the World Championships.
