Discussion: Historical International results

I was looking for some historical results (World University Championships 2008 and to precise) but the website has ceased to exist.

I saw the IOF page has a results archive, but this is mostly links to the relevant webpages, many of which have disappeared.

Any ideas on where I might find these results?

Otherwise, people could just tell me how Euromeeting 2015 in Estonia compared to said event, instead of me trying to match a list of people who were at both, but that would be too easy if you ask me.

The courses are still on routegadget, so you can see the results that way.
Example to give link to right website is
http://www.okilves.ee/RG/cgi-bin/reitti.cgi?act=ma...

Managed to find the old site through this URL:

Thanks to JanetT for the solution found in another thread.

The continuing problem is event hosts who create event specific websites, then stop paying maintenance fees a year or two after the event. There needs to be a consistent system for archiving results on the host club or national federation website. The results data do not take that much space, and there's no need to keep paying for a separate event specific site.

Wrong: (single event site)
Eventname20xx.org
Eventname20xx.com

Right:
Clubwebsite.org/Eventname20xx
Eventname.org/20xx (for annual or regularly repeating events)

If you want to create a cutesy name event specific site, fine, but it should only be a re-direct to a real site that you plan to continue to maintain long after the event is over.

Good example
http://www.jukola.com/en/
http://www.jukola.com/2015/en/
http://www.jukola.com/2016/en/
http://results.jukola.com/tulokset/en/

Jukola is a very good example even if it happens to be the website for a particular event. It´s being organized all over Finland with different organizing clubs every year. Being a traditional event with a long history they can still keep the website running and save results from year to year.

Great job by those who have made also historical results digitally available. Most of the Jukola history is still before the age of Internet.

In Sweden the use of Winsplits has become more or less default for publishing results and also the use of Eventor has assisted in finding facts about past events.

This seems pretty cool - https://dbtopas.lt/takas/en/dpaieska?id=4049

Yes, yes it does. It certainly does what I want it to do.

Thanks all for the suggestions!
