As in each of the last two years, Hvirlan has once again gone on a training camp in Sweden with its youth group. Hvirlan is a friendship club of the hosts from the Swedish town of Växjö, where they have a huge indoor athletics hall, which can even be used for the long throws!
During their days in Sweden they will train together with Swedish athletes and their coaches. Hvirlan says on its website that this helps give the Faroese athletes, and not least the coaches, fresh inspiration for future training. Now that they will be training indoors, it must also be said that it is a real pleasure for the Hvirlan athletes to be able to concentrate on the throw itself, rather than on the many throwing winds at Tórsbreyt, which have an annoying habit of bringing debris with them.
While they are in Växjö, they also get the chance to take part in a big throwing competition, which was held today, Saturday. We have not heard how it went, and nothing has yet appeared on the meet’s website.
Read more about Hvirlan’s Växjö trip at www.hvirlan.fo, where results from the competition itself will probably also be published soon.
In Sweden they get to try something as exotic for Faroese athletes as pole vault. In the picture, Helgi Geyti is having a go. (photo borrowed from Hvirlan)
