Comments:
Wouldn’t it be great if we had orienteering in the Commonwealths in 2014. Scotland would definitely have a great chance of bagging lots of medals (against NZ, Oz and others). What’s stopping us?

Yes it would be great if orienteering was in the Commonwealths in 2014 and yes Scotland would have a great chance of bagging lots of medals (an important consideration for the host nation). Unfortunately orienteering is not in such a strong position in other areas e.g. level of support from other countries, spectator appeal, media coverage. My understanding is that SOA presented a case when sports were being considered for inclusion but was unsuccessful.
