This coming weekend, Saturday 9 Sept and Sunday 10 Sept, the Faroese Youth Championships will be held at Tórsbreyt. On the first day the competitions start at 11:00, and on the second day things begin with the traditional parade at 12:30, followed by the competitions themselves at 13:00.
Registration is ready here on the site. The cost is DKK 30 per start, and the clubs will be invoiced. The registration deadline is Monday evening 4 September at 23:00!
The programme has been expanded with hurdles races, and the older age groups get three throwing events. This also means more hours for officials and helpers. We expect to need up to 250 official and helper hours in total. Things usually go well when it comes to officials and helpers, and of course we hope the same again this year. A registration will be set up for that.
This year’s events are:
8-9: 60m, 400m, long jump, ball throw and shot put = 5 events
10-11: 60m, 300m, 600m, long jump, ball throw and shot put = 6 events
12-13: 80m, 300m, 800m, 60m/80m hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put and javelin = 8 events
14-15: 100m, 300m, 800m, 80/100m hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, javelin and discus = 9 events
16-17: 100m, 400m, 800m, 100/110m hurdles, long jump, triple jump, javelin, discus and hammer = 9 events
18-19: 100m, 400m, 800m, 100/110m hurdles, long jump, triple jump, javelin, discus and hammer = 9 events
In the sprints, the heats will be run on Saturday and the finals on Sunday.
In the hurdles, which will be run on Saturday, lanes and heats will be drawn by lot, and times will be decisive. That is, no final will be run, even if there turn out to be several heats.
In the long sprints (300m and 400m), athletes will be divided into an A final and a B final, and times will be decisive.
In the technical events for the 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13 age groups, all athletes get three attempts. In the 14-15 group they get four attempts. In the 16-17 and 18-19 groups, everyone first gets three attempts, and the six best then get three extra attempts.
