Things went very well again today at VU-Spelen in Gothenburg. Bjørk Herup Olsen ran the 800m in the Girls 17 category and set a personal best, a Faroese women’s record and an age-group record when she covered the distance in 2:21.50 min. A great performance by Bjørk, who has therefore set new Faroese records in both the 800m and the 1,500m over the weekend at Nya Ullevi in Gothenburg.
Jóan Karl Joensen ran the 800m this evening. It went well, and he ran his best time of the year over the distance, crossing the line in 2:01.39 min. He did, however, feel the effects of the good 400m he ran yesterday over the last 200m this evening, but he still got a good time.
All in all, the three athletes have performed well at VU-Spelen 2008. In six events they have set five personal bests, which must be considered very good.
After the competition ended this evening they went on to Stenungsund for a Nordic training camp, which begins this evening, where the roughly 40 participants will be settling in. The training camp starts as early as 08:00 tomorrow morning and finishes on Wednesday afternoon. The Faroese participants return home on Thursday.
