On Wednesday, the third day of the European Youth Olympic Festival in North Macedonia, four representatives of Lithuanian athletics joined the starting line. The sport’s schedule in Skopje has been adjusted not by the heat, but by football, as the athletics competition is held in North Macedonia’s largest stadium, the 33,000-seat To\u0161e Proeski National Arena. <\/p>\n
On Thursday at 9:30 p.m., the UEFA Conference League qualifying match between Skopje’s Vardar and Switzerland’s Lausanne will take place here. Therefore, from Tuesday, athletes compete in the stadium only in the morning, because the stadium has to be shared with football players. <\/p>\n
17-year-old sprinters Ieva \u0160ad\u017ei\u016bt\u0117<\/strong> and Martynas Kolupaila<\/strong> made it to the semi-finals of the 200 m run. They reached this stage on the first day of the festival in the 100 m distance. <\/p>\n I. \u0160ad\u017ei\u016bt\u0117 completed the 200 m in 24.67 seconds, improved her personal record, and, taking 15th place among 29 participants, secured a place in the semi-finals on Thursday.<\/p>\n M. Kolupaila’s result was 21.81 seconds. \u2013 Among 25 athletes, he was 12th. <\/p>\n In the 5000 m athletic walking event, 17-year-old Libertas Kulie\u0161a<\/strong> finished ninth (22 minutes 44.10 seconds).<\/p>\n In the javelin throw competition, the tenth place was won by Pijus Albavi\u010dius<\/strong> in 58.28 m (58.28-56.45-57.59).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LNOC information<\/em><\/p>\n Photo by Rokas Snarskis.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Wednesday, the third day of the European Youth Olympic Festival in North Macedonia, four representatives of Lithuanian athletics joined the starting line.
