Last weekend FÍF’s talent group gathered in Tórshavn for three training sessions. There was one session on Friday evening, one on Saturday morning, and the final session was on Saturday afternoon. In total, 30 young athletes, coaches and leaders took part in the camp. The sessions were largely run by the young men. Helgi Geyti led the throws group, Trygvi Laksafoss took the jumps session, and Rúni Seloy and Tummas Napoleon Arge organised the session for the sprinters. The middle-distance runners were whipped into shape by the undersigned.
On Saturday afternoon the group went to Vælvera Fitness, where Rune first took them through a kickboxing session and then finished off with half an hour of Zumba.
The training attitude among the young athletes is quite incredible, and the excitement is enormous now that the big competitions are getting closer. Several of them have clearly made huge progress over the winter and spring. We’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Elisabet super fast, Maria super tough and Oddvør plenty of both. Despite their different strengths, they get on brilliantly together – both in training and off the track.
Rebekka, Katarina and Karin get ready for yet another hard 300 metres. Hopefully we’ll see all of them in Jersey next summer
Steintór, Regin, Niklas, Rúni, Tórur, Tummas Napoleon and Helgi.
300 m, 200 m, 100 m x3 – A truly incredible effort, running as if their lives depended on it. Steingrímur, Teitur, Karin, Katarina, Elisabet, Rebekka, Oddvør and Maria
No, Hanus. You’re not bigger than the javelin.
That’s it, Hanus. That looks better!
Helgi is a coach and a thrower himself.
Niklas Kruse is the new fast boy in the class

And then kickboxing was on the programme
Hanus and Hallur threw themselves into it heart and soul
Even the lovely Sára found her inner sadist and very nearly kicked the insides out of her friend Katarina
Finally it was Zumba. At the front are the youngest: Elisabet, Oddvør, Maria, and then the three boys who were taking part for the first time: Elias, Andreas and Pauli.
Nobody beats Trygvi, and nobody comes close, when it comes to Zumba. He owned the floor. Rebekka, Tummas, Hanus and Tórur clearly have a Zumba career ahead of them too.
A thousand thanks for a really good training camp.
