Is it possible to see the results, photos?

Nice gesture from Turkish orienteering federation to host the event and nice gesture from IOF to publish the information. Beside the good cause it is evident that at least majority of orienteering federations are not able to support the IOF vision when it comes to "ONLY" Olympic promotional projects. Nothing new to me.
Is there really anyone who thinks that TOP runners will show up at these type of events without at least covered expenses for travel, accommodation and entry fee + small Money Prizes + training camp?
I hope that IOF will find a way how to get some money ASAP from those exclusive-elite-closed-etc organizations if we already decided to spent money on participating, etc.

What I would like to ask (if anyone knows):
1) Do IOF has separate fixed budget for this kind of projects or they spent based on internal decisions by Council?
2) What are IOF specific milestones to reach when it comes to Olympic dream?
3) What should happen that we will say STOP?
4) Should IOF focus first on federations, athletes, events, TV & media and leave Olympic tasks for later?
