Rebekka, who yesterday set a fine Faroese record in the women’s 800 m, finished fourth today in the 1,500 m.
Her time today was good enough for a new age-group record over the distance for Girls 14. The new age-group record now stands at 5:07.17. The old age-group record was set by Rannvá Djurholm last year. Rebekka went out with the leaders, and after a first lap of 75 seconds, in which she was lying fourth, the runners ahead proved too strong for her.
The leaders ran the next lap slightly slower than the first, while Rebekka took 82 seconds and had dropped a few metres behind. The gap to the leading three slowly grew, but Rebekka showed, as she always does, great resilience for the rest of the race and held on to her fourth place.
