This is the time when things get hectic, as the deadline approaches for achieving a result good enough to secure a place on the national teams travelling to Gothenburg in a good month’s time. One of these competitions was held this evening. Only the 100 metres was on the programme, and it was run in four heats. A slight headwind troubled the runners and took the edge off the top times.

Tórur Mortensen got a good start. He is targeting the Boys 18 age-group record, which is shared by Rói Holgarsson and Rúni Jacobsen at 11.76 seconds. This time it wasn’t quite enough for Tórur, who finished in 11.78 seconds. Surely it’s only a matter of time? (photo: Hvirlan, Bjørg)

13-year-old Bára Glerfoss pulls ahead and wins the heat in 14.14 seconds. In doing so she also took the age-group record (photo: Hvirlan, Bjørg)
