It is not only in China that athletics competitions are taking place these days. This weekend the Danish Youth Championships (DM fyri ung) are also being held at Hvidovre Stadion. For the 8th year running Treysti has participants in the competition, and for the fourth year running athletes from Hvirlan are taking part. The participants from Hvirlan are Marita K. Petersen, Edna Maria Debes, Hanus Bergsson, Hallur Simonsen, Tórur Mortensen, Rúni Jacobsen and Trygvi Laksafoss. From Treysti they are Rebekka Fuglø, Oddvør Josephsen, Gunnar Sivertsen and Julian Gregersen.
Yes indeed, it’s genuine! Rebekka with her first and only Island Games medal after the 800 m final in Jersey. But she owns a whole sea of medals from the Danish Youth Championships.

Treysti writes the following on its website:
This weekend the Danish Youth Championships are being held at Hvidovre Stadion. Treysti has had participants at the DMU every year since 2008. At the moment four runners are in Hvidovre, where they are ready to run the 1,500 m on Saturday and the 800 m on Sunday.
The four runners are Rebekka Fuglø, who has previously won several DMU medals, Gunnar Sivertsen, who has taken part in the DMU a few times, Julian Gregersen, who is taking part in the DMU for the first time, and Oddvør Josephsen, who took part in the indoor DMU this spring.
Rebekka (’93) is competing in the 20-22 age group, Gunnar (’99) and Julian (’98) in the 16-17 age group and Oddvør (’01) in the 14-15 age group.
On Saturday they run the 1,500 m at these Faroese times:
12:10 Julian and Gunnar (16 boys)
12:30 Oddvør (18 girls)
12:50 Rebekka (3 girls 20-22 + 8 girls 18-19)
and on Sunday they run the 800 m at these Faroese times:
9:05 Oddvør (21 girls in 3 heats)
9:30 Rebekka (2 girls 20-22 + 8 girls 18-19)
9:50 Julian and Gunnar (17 boys in 2 heats)
The four of them, together with others from Treysti, have all trained hard all summer, and among other things have driven out twice a week to the track at Svangaskarð to train. They have all set themselves the goal of setting a personal best in at least one of the two races.
In addition to the runners from Treysti, Hvirlan also has 6 athletes in the competition.
On the website of Hvirdovre Atletik, which is here: DMU 2015 at Hvidovre Stadion, you can find out more about the competition and see results here: Results DMU 2015.
Treysti wishes you all the best of luck in the competitions!
