For the third year in a row Hvirlan is organising Jatnatøk, where they invite participants from other countries. The competition takes place at Tórsbreyt on Saturday 4 August. This year they have managed to get participants from Denmark, Sweden and Iceland to make the trip here. Hopefully many Faroese athletes will also take on their Nordic rivals. Either way, there is the chance of good competition, and with it the chance of a good result.
There are events for both children and adults. The overview looks like this:
- 80 m: 12–13 years
- 100 m: 14–15 years, 16–17 years, adults
- 800 m: 14–15 years and adults
- 5,000 m: adults
- 400 m hurdles: women
- Long jump: adults
- Triple jump: 14–15 years, boys
- High jump: adults
- Javelin: 14–15 years, 16–17 years and adults
- Shot put: 14–15 years, 16–17 years and 18–19 years boys
Where nothing else is stated, the event is open to both sexes. The younger age groups start at 11:00, while the adults start competing at 14:00. The competition ends at 17:00, when the Giant and Giantess of the Year are chosen. This is decided by the best performances by a man and a woman on the international scoring tables.
