February 10th and actually the whole weekend turned out to be the Olimpics for our athletes! The crazy weekend came to an end with the start our U16 runners winning 2 and 1/2 pedestals. Why 2 and a half? It will be explained shortly, but first - 1000m! For the very first time in her life, Elza Niklase set a foot in the 1000m distance, in which every breath taken was a new adventure in the world of athletics. Fighting fearlessly and winning her heat, Elza "stopped" for 1/2 a second before the pedestal in the two run overall score. An excellent performance also in the mid-distance was for Roberts Glazers being 3rd abong his giant rivals. It's clear that runnning with these giants, that it's work not only with the muscles, but with the mind too!
But this evening someone else shined the most and that someone is Renāte Beļājeva. An excellent 300m sprint with 39 other rivals lead to the overall victory and a new pre-record for herself and for the club. Furthermore, with this splendid start, she's done a few norms for Latvian U16 indoor championship, which is after two weeks. We will see the outcome, but for now it is very sunny, isn't it?!
