Athlete search
Name-string matching only — there's no athlete ID in the source data, so this can miss or over-match where spelling drifted across years. Pick a suggestion from the dropdown, or press Search, to see results.

Percentile progression
Best-ever result so far, by percentile (rank ÷ field size) — lower is better. A new row only appears when the country's best improves.
No ranked results for this filter.
| Year | Discipline | Class | Name | Rank / Field | Percentile | Time | Diff |

Best-place progression
Best-ever result so far by absolute rank (field size only breaks ties).
| Year | Discipline | Class | Name | Rank / Field | Time | Diff |

Medal table
Gold/silver/bronze and podium (4th-6th) counts across individual and relay events combined, for the selected year range. Ranked by gold count first, then silver, then bronze, then podium finishes - not by total medals.

Best all-time result by country
Each country's single best-ever placing, by percentile (rank ÷ field size) so fields of different sizes across 2002–2026 are comparable. A country appears more than once only if it has an exact tie for its own best result.

About
EYOC Archive collects European Youth Orienteering Championships results (from 2002 onwards: Sprint, Long, Relay) into one searchable, browsable site, instead of them being scattered across two decades of organizers' websites in whatever format each one happened to publish.
Data provenance
Results come from whatever each year's organizers originally published, since there's no single official EYOC results database covering the whole period:
- 2002–2013 — a combined-year archive page hosted at lazarus.elte.hu.
- 2006 Relay — recovered separately from an Excel result sheet published on the Slovenian Orienteering Federation's site (the lazarus.elte.hu page only has an abbreviated top-3 for that year's relay).
- 2014–2026 — a mix of IOF-XML exports from Eventor, OE2010/ OS2010 SportSoftware PDF result sheets, and a few one-off PDF formats, depending on what that year's organizers used.
- 2014 Relay and 2016 Sprint — the two source files with no text layer at all (genuine scans), recovered via OCR rather than text extraction.
Every result carries a confidence flag (high or
approx, the latter for the OCR-derived years above) - shown next to
the result itself where it applies. Full source-by-source documentation, the raw
files themselves, and the parser that turned them into this site's data live in
the GitHub repository linked below.
Special thanks to László Zentai, who has kept the EYOC archive at lazarus.elte.hu since 1990 - back when it was still the "Youth Match" - long before this site existed and long before EYOC's current organizers were publishing results digitally at all. None of the 2002–2013 results here would exist without that archive.
Known data issues
- 2002 is incomplete. The only surviving source for that year is an abbreviated page showing top finishers plus host-country competitors only - the true field size for 2002 Sprint/Long is unknown and almost certainly larger than what's shown here.
- OCR errors. 2014 Relay and 2016 Sprint were recovered from
scanned PDFs with no text layer via OCR, which can misread names, times, or
ranks - flagged
approxconfidence, but not proofread line by line. - No athlete ID. Athlete search is plain name-string matching across years, since none of the source formats carry a stable competitor ID. The same person can appear under slightly different spellings in different years (transliteration, typos in the original results, name-order swaps), which can cause both missed matches and accidental over-matching on common names.
- Decades of inconsistent source formats. Parsing twenty-plus years of hand-coded HTML, scanned PDFs, and several generations of results software inevitably risks misinterpreting an occasional row - a column misaligned in the source, a status code read as a time, and similar. Treat an unusual-looking result as worth double-checking against the original source file rather than as certainly correct.
- Country coverage. This archive only includes the European federations eligible for EYOC. Non-European guest nations that occasionally compete (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada) appear in some years' raw source files but are filtered out and won't appear anywhere in this app.
Built with Gen AI
This site - the data pipeline, the parsers, and the web app itself - was built with the help of generative AI (Claude Code). Treat that as part of the provenance: it's another reason to double-check an unusual-looking result against the original source rather than assume it's correct.
