Above is a link to the start lists. They show that we have a reasonable chance of winning medals in almost all of the events. Our strongest card is Bjørk Herup Olsen, who has by far the best entry time in the 3000 m. That was also the distance she ran when she represented Denmark and Iceland at the Nordic match recently. Rúni is also usually good for medals. This time, however, he faces tough competition from the boys who are a year older than him, but if we know Rúni, nothing is decided in advance.
Rebekka will try her hand at the 300 m. This is not a distance she is used to running, but hopefully it will still produce a Faroese record. In the 800 m there will be 4-5 evenly matched runners who will share the medals between them. Jan Elmar will also be running an unfamiliar distance, namely the 2000 m steeplechase. In addition, he will take part in the 5000 m.
The Faroese athletes are allowed to represent neither their own clubs nor FÍF in this competition. They have therefore had to enter for Danish clubs. Rebekka and Jan Elmar represent Vejle IF, Bjørk represents KIF and Rúni represents the host club, Hvidovre.
The results will be published here on the site next week.
