Note
It's been a long time since I've had even the tiniest thought about orienteering and the Olympics, but for some reason I was curious to see where orienteering stood with respect to US Olympics, and what I found is that we are nestled within a small group that also includes: football (can totally see that making it to the Olympics some day, can't you?), DanceSport (don't ask me, I have no clue), Flying Disc (can't risk appearing to discriminate against Martians, who after all come equipped with X-Ray guns and other armaments), Polo (another up and coming sport for the masses), and Underwater Swimming (the SEALs must have wielded their considerable political clout to get this included; it must involve in seeing how far you can go underwater with a single breath or something like that.) If you judge by the company kept, it doesn't look like O' is in any danger of moving on up anytime soon, if ever.
