Bragdið best in the TF Winter Series. Or third best?

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

The TF Winter Series is not just a competition for individuals. The team competition also plays a big part, and then there is the natural rivalry between the clubs. This informal contest exists somewhere between the lines, and now Regin Thomsen has put figures on it.

Eight races with five categories for both sexes make for a great many contests within the competition. In total, some 40 different runners have been on the podium, and we have looked at how the medals have been distributed among the clubs. The table clearly shows that blue is the most visible colour, and it is also Bragdið that has won the most medals.

103 medals were hung around Bragdið necks this winter. That is 31 medals more than Treysti got, and 73 more than the 30 medals Hvirlan collected. But of all Bragdið’s 103 medals, only 14 are gold. Treysti has the most gold medals with 27, while Hvirlan is also ahead of Bragdið, having won 22 gold medals.

If we then count in points, where gold is worth three points, silver two points and bronze one point, we again have Bragdið at the top of the list with 165 points. Right behind comes Treysti with 158 points, and in third place is Hvirlan with 80 points.

For fun, we are also posting the tables for the last two years here:

Last winter the blue dominance was great. Treysti and Hvirlan have taken back much of what Bragdið won last competition winter

In the 2013-14 winter it was Treysti who won by far the most. The northerners won no fewer than 42 gold medals. We can also see that Roysnið won quite a few that winter.

Below we can see the distribution of participants among the clubs in the children’s category, women and men. There is also a table showing the overall number for each club. And you also get a pie chart showing the picture graphically.

Bragdið had the largest representation this winter. With nearly half of all the participants, they also won the most medals. Here the whole gang is pictured in Bylgjan after the last round.

It is no secret that the runners in the TF Winter Series are not just youngsters. If we go over the figures, we can establish that most participants are over forty. We think it is a bit of a shame that the younger ones have not discovered how much fun it is to be a Winter Series runner. We therefore hope that all the clubs will strive to get the younger age groups involved too. Below is a table showing the age distribution.

 

 

The average age in the TF Winter Series is around 46-47 years. It would be good to see the bars for the younger age groups a little higher.

All of you who HAVE taken part this winter deserve heartfelt thanks for your contribution to an exciting and challenging Winter Series. Getting through the whole series is no easy feat – at times you have to put a lot into it. We are proud of you, and we look forward to next winter.
