In just under two weeks, on Saturday 24 August and Sunday 25 August, the Faroese Youth Championships will be held at the Tórsbreyt track. Once again this year, the competition will take place on both Saturday and Sunday. Last year a parade was organised on the second day of competition, and the plan is to hold it again this year. The events will be exactly the same as in 2011.
This year’s events are as follows:
Girls and boys 8–9 years (2004–05): 60 m, 400 m, long jump, ball throw and shot put
Girls and boys 10–11 years (2002–03): 60 m, 300 m, 600 m, long jump, ball throw and shot put
Girls and boys 12–13 years (2000–01): 80 m, 300 m, 600 m, long jump, high jump, shot put and javelin
Girls and boys 14–15 years (1998–99): 100 m, 300 m, 800 m, long jump, high jump, shot put and javelin
Girls and boys 16–17 years (1996–97): 100 m, 400 m, 800 m, long jump, triple jump, discus and hammer
Girls and boys 18–19 years (1994–95): 100 m, 400 m, 800 m, long jump, triple jump, discus and hammer
In addition, there will be the following relays. On Saturday there will be a 4×100 metres relay for these groups:
- girls and boys 10–11 years
- girls and boys 12–13 years
- girls and boys 14–19 years
And on Sunday there will be a mixed 4×200 m relay – two girls and two boys – for these groups:
- 8–9 years
- 10–11 years
- 12–13 years
- 14–15 years
If clubs do not have full teams for the relays, they may get help from younger athletes in the club. However, athletes may only move up one age group, and may only help out once each day. A team may have no more than two athletes from a younger age group helping out.
Entries for the relays are made at the competition office on the day of competition.
We start on Saturday morning at 10:00 and continue until about 14:00. On Sunday we get going again at 13:00 and finish a good four hours later, at about 17:00. However, the final timetable will be set once registration has closed.
Registration is now open, and the deadline is midnight on Tuesday evening, 20 August. Only members of the clubs are eligible to take part. It is, however, possible to sign up as a club member in connection with this competition.
The cost of taking part is DKK 30 per registered start. An invoice will be sent to the club the athlete represents.
