This turned out to be an exceptionally good day for FÍF. This morning, silver and a Faroese record in the high jump for Øssur Debes Eiriksfoss, and Rúni Seloy safely through to the final in the 800 metres. And this evening, a gold medal and a bronze medal in the 10,000 metres for Valborg Heinesen and Marnar Djurhuus.
We have been through the history books and can find no other day like it, so we can confirm that this was the best day ever for Faroese athletics!
Hopefully the good run will continue tomorrow, when we are once again in three finals. The schedule is as follows:
- 19:30 Heri Ziska, discus – final
- 19:50 Rebekka Fuglø, 1500 m – final
- 20:30 Rúni Seloy, 800 m – final
As today, there are hopes of medals. We expect our athletes to be competing among the top 5 in all the events. Which way it goes is up to Lady Fortune.

Oh yes – that’ll do nicely!
