An excellent adevnture once again. In the exact middle of June Ašais athletes went on a journey to Finland - the land of a thousand lakes - to participate in a huge athletics competition "YOUTH ATHLETICS GAMES" in the town of Lahti. On the first race day (actually the second) two of our athletes set off in the sprint distances, but Kārlis Dieviņš started in his first international 800m competition. If Renāte Beļājeva and Stella Paltiņā blazed across the track sprinting without high ambitions, then Kārlis Dieviņš managed to set a new PB in 800m (2:09;19) and be 11th of the 22 participants.
The next day was awaited wih high hopes and are hopes resulted with high performance. In the 11 year old age group of girls, in the 1000m distance a golden race and a new PB (-7 sec.) - 3:21,30 for Stella Paltiņa. It is her second gold in Finland of 2019!!! Bronze, in the 15 year old age group in the girl 800m race with a new PB (-5 sec.) - 2:26,0, goes to Renāte Beļājeva, who has finally broken her 800m curse (hihi)! Full of willpower Elza Niklase, who, in the girl 14 year old age group, also ran a new PB (-6 sec.) in 800m and got 12th place of the 27 participants. And another PB in the 15 year old boy race in 800m. Roberts Aleksis Glazers in a tough race got 4th place with a new time of 2:10,35 (-2 sec.). Hid first taste of an international race got Roberts Cercins in the 12 year old age group boy 1000m race. Excellent days in Finland! Much expirience! Awaiting the next competition. Photos - here!
