On Tuesday evening Hvirlan will organise its annual summer meet, which they call Jatnatøk, at Tórsbreyt. This will be a chance to see some of our Island Games stars let loose.
The competition will start at 18:00, and the plan is to open with the mile. This is not an Olympic event, but it was a very popular event in the last century.
The Faroese records for the mile are not all that daunting, so on a good day both Rebekka Fuglø and Julian Gregersen have a chance of setting a new Faroese record in the mile.
At last year’s Jatnatøk the 100 m was also on the programme. Hopefully we will get the chance to see Elisabet, Alda and Teresa in the relay on Tuesday evening
At the Island Games we saw many of our sprinters try their hand at relays. On Tuesday evening there will again be a chance to build team spirit, as there will be a 1,000 m relay. Ideally, the clubs will first and foremost try to field teams for this race, in which the first runner runs 100 m, the second runs 200 m, the third runs 300 m and the fourth runner finishes with a full lap.
This type of race has sometimes been tried in connection with the Faroese Youth Championships, and it has often produced very exciting races. Hopefully the clubs will manage to field one, and perhaps even two, teams for this race. The race is for both women’s and men’s teams. (not mixed)
Between these two races there will be the annual and fun unofficial Faroese Championships in mobile phone throwing. Anyone can bring an old mobile phone along and take part in this competition. The winners will receive gift vouchers, and there will be a prize draw from Vodafone among all the throwers. It costs DKK 20 to take part in the mobile phone throwing.
