TF VK-3: Marnar and Bjørk in a class of their own

Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

The postponed round 3 of the TF Winter Series, which was due to be run in Tórshavn last Saturday, was held yesterday in the best of conditions. More than 70 runners took part. The adults ran about 10.6 km and the children 3.5 km.

In the men’s race, Marnar Djurhuus left all opposition far behind right from the start. He took a clear lead straight away and steadily extended the gap to his nearest rivals, Eirikur Hansen and Sam Vang, who were in the next places. Sam had to let Eirikur go fairly early, leaving Eirikur alone in second place and Sam in third, positions they held to the finish. Behind them there was a hard battle between Henry Olsen, Jan Elmar Sørensen and Einar Gregersen, who could not feel too safe either, as Hallur Holm and Teitur Bjarnastein were running well just behind them. In the end, Henry came out on top of that group, ahead of Einar, Jan Elmar, Teitur and Hallur. Then there was a gap back to Regin Thomsen and Jóhan M. Jacobsen.

Marnar ran completely alone for the entire 10.6 kilometres (photo: Einar Vang)

So Marnar, Eirikur and Sam were the top three in the open category, Henry, Hallur and Jóhan M. in the veterans’ category, and Marnar, Einar and Teitur in the junior men’s category. The super-veterans’ category was won by Jens R. Weihe ahead of Jósvein H. Olsen and Gunnar Simonsen.

Bjørk managed to keep up with these and even pull away from some of them (photo: Einar Vang)

If Marnar was the dominant winner among the men, Bjørk H. Olsen was certainly just as dominant among the women. She won comfortably ahead of Rebekka Fuglø and Rigmor N. Arge, who had won both previous rounds. The fastest women veterans were Ann Thomsen, Astrid Joensen and Anna Maria Seloy.

The boys’ category was won by Gunnar Sivertsen ahead of Rúni Skarðhamar and Dánjal D. Ljósheim. In the girls’ category, the three Treysti girls Oddvør Josephsen, Maria Biskopstø and Elin Kristina Ryan took the top places.

All the results can be found below.

The standings in the various categories will also be posted very soon. The next round of the TF Winter Series will be on Saturday 11 January next year in Sørvágur.
