24 Faroese athletes heading to the Danish Youth Championships in Hvidovre

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

This weekend the Danish Youth Championships are being held in Hvidovre. Faroese athletes have usually taken part in this competition, partly because Treysti has sent its best athletes to it every year for many years now. Bragdið and Hvirlan have also been represented in some years, but this year it is especially these last two that have travelled in large numbers.

11 Bragdið athletes and 9 Hvirlan athletes, together with the four from Treysti, means this is the largest number of Faroese athletes ever at the Danish Youth Championships.

The fact that we have a young Island Games team shows in this competition, as no fewer than six of our nine Island Games athletes are taking part in this youth competition. Oddvør, Maria, Julian, Margit, Elisabet, Alda and Tórur are all ready to compete again, while the other three Island Games athletes, Jan Elmar, Rebekka and Marna, are too old for the Danish Youth Championships

Sunniva Bogadóttir is the newly crowned Faroese champion, and it will be exciting to see whether she throws just as well at the DM-U

Most of the athletes who were in Gothenburg this summer are also taking part in the DMU. Not just anyone can enter the competition. You have to be fairly high up the Danish rankings to get in. Fortunately, the standard among our home athletes is now so high that it is possible for them to qualify for this strong competition.
