Rúni Seloy (no. 1039) finished second today
The best Faroese result of the day came from 13-year-old Rúni Seloy, who competed in his favourite event, the 600 m. After a poor start in which he was boxed in at the back, he fought his way to the front on the first long straight. Rúni held the lead until 350 metres but could not respond when he was overtaken. Fighter that he is, he still managed to hold on to 2nd place all the way to the finish. Rúni’s time was 1:35.13
Earlier this year Rúni won a strong race over 600 m in Denmark. On that occasion he ran the distance in 1:34.35 min, which is also faster than today’s winning time!
Regin Joensen after the 80 m
The first of our athletes on the track today was 12-year-old Regin Joensen, who competed in the 80 m. Regin has run well over this distance before, but today things did not go to plan. He finished 13th in a time of 12.54
