The Faroese Youth Championships 2017 were held at the Tórsbreyt track over the weekend. Once again our very capable young athletes gave us lots of good and impressive performances over the two days of competition, and the weather was, all things considered, very good. On Saturday there was a crosswind and it was fairly mild, so the vast majority of jumps and races were wind-legal. Today was cooler, with a fair amount of headwind for the sprinters and too much tailwind in most of the jumps for them to be wind-legal.
Today began with the traditional parade, which is always a lovely sight. The mayor, Annika Olsen, then said a few words before she opened the Faroese Youth Championships 2017.
The weekend’s results show that athletics in the Faroe Islands has a bright future. A great deal of high-quality work is done every day in the individual clubs, and it certainly showed at the Faroese Youth Championships. Hopefully this work will continue and develop.
The track season is drawing to a close, and hopefully these young athletes will keep training through the winter, so that we can all look forward to some good and exciting competitions next year.
FÍF would like to take this opportunity to thank the athletes, coaches and parents, and a special thank you goes to all the officials and helpers, because without you there would be no competition.
