Every year there is a youth international match in athletics between the Nordic nations. Sweden, Norway and Finland each have their own team, while Denmark and Iceland compete as a combined team. Each team has two athletes in every event, and, as last year, Bjørk Herup Olsen has again been called up to represent the Danish/Icelandic team in the 3,000 metres.
Bjørk has been selected because she is the fastest girl aged 15–19 in Denmark over 3,000 metres this year. She ran that time at a meet in Tårnby in early May, where she set a new Faroese record of 10:15.18 min.
The match takes place on 22 August at Karlsplan Stadion in Vasa, Finland. Renn.fo will of course report on how it went.
Congratulations on the selection and good luck, Bjørk!
