Older material available again

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

Those who in recent years have tried to find old results, old news or old photos here on the website have usually found that only the messages “ERROR” and “NOT FOUND”, or something similar, appear on the screen.

This is because the server hosting the website has been replaced twice since the website was first created, and the material on the previous servers was not moved across.

FÍF’s website was originally called, and is still called, athletics.fo. It was Sølvi Reinert Hansen who created the site as early as the turn of the millennium, which made it one of the first of its kind.

Sølvi Reinert Hansen has made an impressive comeback as the third man on Roysnið 3. But behind the scenes he has made an even bigger comeback. Sølvi, who was the first chair of FÍF and who built the website himself, has now set about rescuing all the old material on the old servers.

Sølvi has now been digging around on old servers and has rescued much of the old material that used to be on the site. It is therefore very pleasing that you, dear website readers, can once again search for old results and old news. However, many photos still remain to be rescued. But the plan is that all the many photos that were once on the website will be restored for our readers to enjoy once more.

We wish Sølvi the best of luck with the work. Here he is pictured on board the Athena, the cruise ship that housed the Island Games participants in Shetland in 2005. He is on his way to a meeting with the IGA.
