The Faroese Championships for young athletes take place this coming weekend. In recent years the competition has been held over one day, but because the programme of events has grown, and the number of participants is also expected to rise, this time the competition will be held on both Saturday and Sunday.
The events will be as follows:
- Girls and boys 8-9 years (2001-02) 60m, 400m, long jump, ball throw and shot put
- Girls and boys 10-11 years (1999-00) 60m, 300m, 600m, long jump, ball throw and shot put
- Girls and boys 12-13 years (1997-98) 80m, 300m, 600m, long jump, high jump, shot put and javelin
- Girls and boys 14-15 years (1995-96) 100m, 300m, 800m, long jump, high jump, javelin and discus
- Girls and boys 16-17 years (1993-94) 100m, 400m, 800m, long jump, high jump, javelin and discus
- Girls and boys 18-19 years (1991-92) 100m, 400m, 800m, long jump, high jump, javelin and discus
That makes 78 competitions and no fewer than 234 necks to hang medals around. Things get under way on Saturday morning at 10:00 and continue until around 13:00. On Sunday we start again at 13:00 and finish a good two hours later, at around 15:20.
The provisional programme is attached at the bottom of this page. The competition days will not change, but the timetable will probably be adjusted somewhat, depending on how many enter each event. However, there are unlikely to be any really big changes.
The registration deadline is midnight on Wednesday evening, 11 August. Only members of the clubs are entitled to take part. It is, however, possible to sign up as a club member in connection with this competition.
The entry fee is DKK 50, regardless of how many events you compete in.
