In this video we can see more runners competing in the field.
Pay attention to the last part of the video. The camera man shot at the Westerners changing their clothes. I think he did so because it was a very special scene for the local orienteers. The conservative culture in Asia makes us not to do so in the public. People rather queue up in a small toilet for a dirty but "safe" space to get change.
When I attained my first JWOC in Switzerland, I saw the Europeans taking off their underwear in public. I was shocked. Then I realized that when everyone think it's OK,
it will be OK...
I found a map of the World Cup 1988 in Hong Kong. Its name is Cheung Sheung. The word "Sheung" in Chinese means up/above/on top of... But I don't know how to translate the word "Cheung". Since I started orienteering in 2002, this map has not been used for any open competition. Someone said that it's because updating the map and holding an event there is a very hard work thus no one to do so. What a pity.
