Last weekend Bjørk Herup Olsen took part in the big Lyngby Games meet, where she was due to run the 1500 and 3000 m. Bjørk has usually competed in the youth age groups, but this year she has started running with the seniors. On Saturday she ran her way to third place in a new Faroese record time. Her result was 4:44.71 min, a few 1/100ths of a second better than the old record, which she held herself.
Bjørk has now taken the record from 5:11 to 4:44, close to ½ a minute since 2006. And if we know Bjørk, she is hardly finished yet.
On Sunday she took 3rd place in the 3000 m with a time of 10:20.99. A very good time, and just 5 sec. off the record she set at the Tårnby Games in May.
