At Kastrup this evening they very nearly had to switch off the metal detectors as young Bragdið athletes, fully loaded with gold, silver and bronze, went through security. Never before has the haul from the biggest Danish youth competition, Tårnby Games, been so large. Bragdið have been regular visitors to Tårnby Games in recent years, and this time it was the biggest travelling party ever. The group left on Friday with more than 30 athletes and many parents, team leaders and coaches.
Competition took place on both Saturday and Sunday, and both days went swimmingly. Medals by the dozen rained down on the Bragdið group, and there were also many very good, indeed unexpectedly good, results. Several age-group records were set, and several athletes also achieved an A standard for the talent group.
The younger participants in particular performed well, and Jónas Isaksen, aged 9, ran everyone ragged in both the 60 m and the 400 m. In the 400 m his time was not only an age-group record for Boys 9, but also for Boys 10, 11 and 12!!
Many other results and many other athletes deserve a mention here, but it would make this too long. Reports from the competitions are on Bragdið’s website: www.bragdid.fo and all the results can be found at this link: http://test.mars-net.dk/meet/ShowMeet.aspx?MeetId=7139ae44-2711-47c3-af76-e87758f854e3
Hans Erland performed very well, even though he is a year younger than most of his opponents. Eiri and Jónas are already two seasoned gentlemen.
