Yesterday Rúni Seloy won the Danish title for boys 15. He led comfortably from start to finish and in the end was 4 seconds ahead of number 2. Rúni improved his own time by a full 14 seconds, so his age-group record now stands at 4:20.49 min.

This morning the 800 metres was on the programme. Once again Rúni showed his rivals no mercy whatsoever. He ran hard straight from the gun and went through the first 400 m in 60 sec. Just before the last 100 m one runner tried to get past, but Rúni responded strongly and sprinted comfortably to the line on his own. Rúni’s time was 2:04.93 min., an improvement of 3 sec. on his own personal best.
The double Danish Championship title is remarkable when you consider that Rúni is a year younger than his toughest competitors!
Yesterday Bjørk H. Olsen won silver in the 1500 m. Later today she runs the 3000 m, and judging by the entry times, Bjørk is the favourite to win gold today.

Jan Elmar Sørensen also won a medal yesterday. He did so by running his way to third place in the 2000 m steeplechase, an event he is not used to. Later today he runs the 5000 m.
Rebekka Fuglø finished 7th in the 300 m yesterday. This morning she ran her favourite event, the 800 m, and finished 5th overall after winning her heat comfortably.
