Even though covid has cancelled many events, this summer for athletics has been quite dense. From 23rd to 24th of July, in Ventspils olympic stadium occured the 3rd youth championship in athletics in the past two weeks. This time U18 and U20 age group athletes started in this competition. And we are proud to announce that Roberts Glazers won bronze in this competition in the epic 1500m distance. In a tough race where 6 ,similarly strong, athletes fought for the 3 pedestal steps, Roberts also managed to run a new PB of 4:17,11! To furthermore affirm the tough contestents, only 0,01 second seperated the 1st place from the 2nd, however Roberts was 0,4 seconds away from gold. Not as well as planned turned out to be Renātes Beļājevas race in the 400m distance. Pretty far from her PB and 7th place (21).
On the 2nd race day, despite the exausted energy of the first race day, Roberts Glazers managed to run a new PB also in the 800m distance, winning his heat, and being 5th overall. All in all, championship passed with a great look for the future! Photos - here! Results - here! 1500m - video, 800m - video.
