Information about the Faroese Championships regarding Sunday

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

As mentioned before, the parade is first on the programme on Sunday, and the organisers would like to ask people to arrive 15–30 minutes before the parade, which starts promptly at 12:30. After all, it takes time to line up, find the right jackets and so on.

We hope to see lots of spectators at this lovely occasion. The chair of the Faroese Confederation of Sports (ÍSF), Elin Heðinsdóttir Joensen, will give the speech this year.

The first events, which are the sprint, long jump, high jump and shot put, start very shortly after the parade. Helpers, and especially the head officials (named first below), therefore need to make sure that the areas are ready for competition before the parade.

Helpers:

Shot put 13:00–16:05
Annfinn S., Borgarhjørt, Haldis, Elsibeth, Ann, Guðmundur, Astrid and Agnar

High jump 13:00–13:45
Gunnvá, Hans Andreas and Anni

Long jump 13:00–13:25 + 14:05–14:45
Ingilín, Sam, Arnfinnur J., Sjøfn, Astrid and Mabritt

Running 13:00–17:00
Niels Jákup and Einar (wind: Hallur)

We are well covered for helpers on this final day of competition, and we are very pleased about that. Shot put events are on the programme almost all day, so that post has been double-staffed, meaning you can take turns relieving each other as you go, as long as you make sure that 4–5 people are on duty at all times. When the jump officials ‘have time off’, they are also welcome to take a turn at the shot put post if they feel like it.

If Sjøfn listens to even a fraction of what those old boys have to say about athletics, she will know how to be a helper in the long jump tomorrow. It is wonderful that the young ones help out when they are not competing themselves. (photos: Bjørg 8/9-18)

Today we had some exciting relays, and relays are on the programme again tomorrow, this time the 200 m mixed relay and the special 1000 m relay (100+200+300+400) for the older athletes. Hopefully we will see even more teams, and coaches may as well gradually start thinking about team line-ups and entering their teams for tomorrow based on the start list.
