In the three intense
race days spent with 200 more estonian athletes, Ašais athletes to
do historical feat, thereby rewriting the history of the event.
Firstly, it was the unbelievable run for Roberts Glazers. The Aim
for Roberts was to correct the 11 year old record in the P14 age
group. Before the race it was clear, that it will be no easy feat,
because the bar was set very high. We are truly happy to announce
that the summative result Roberts presented within the three race
days, was not only a new record in P14 age group, but also the all
time fastest result in this distance. This had been the 21st youth
race. Thus Roberts has reached a new height. He now holds the
record for youth distance in P6/P11/P14 age groups! Not only that,
but he is also faster than the record of P16 age group! Next year
Roberts will be in P16. His result in each race day - 2km=6:07/
3,24km=10:11/ 3,2km=10:07!!! On top of all this, the total time
among all three days is 26:26... Roberts birthday is on the 26th
date. Another beautiful performance demonstrated Stella Paltiņa.
Her pace had been so great, that she can now claim two titles - All
time fastest time in T11 age group and the unofficial Queen title
also in the T14 age group!!!! If last year Stella didn't have the
power to last all three race days, then now her rivals stand no
chance!
Without a doubt it is clear, that motion is life. Beautiful motion is
the highest aesthetic, which God has created. On thursdays' evening, SC
Ašais met with running enthusiasts in the Cesis stadium to give an
insight to fast running. Evening activities began with special
excersises and cocluded with swedish relays. We are happy that TRX Cesis
group joined the #NoskrienCēsis family. Double happiness, because the
bad weather didn't discourage the motion lovers!
SC Ašais have been competing in "Smiltenes laps" for many years now, and
fall wouldn't be imaginable without this established race. This year,
racing passed with flying colours! Roberts Glazers had an excellent
start in the 2 lap race, with an absolute victory and the fastest time
of this distance in the history of the competition!!! The 6,5 km were
done with an astounding result of 23:13! Average pace 3:35/km! Ašais
runners secured 3 more victories in the 1 lap race. Stella Paltiņa
dominated her age group with the fastest result from ALL girls! Likewise
victorious were Renāte Beļājeva and Teodors Godiņš! Furthermore,
Teodors had his first pedestal as an Ašais athlete. Congratulations!
Second in their age groups were Ričards Špacs and Elza Niklase, third in
his age group was Roberts Cercins. Teams' youngest, Annija Cercina,
ended up 4th in her age group, but Luīze Rajecka and Egija Mihailova 5th
and 6th respectively! Thanks you Smiltene! We will return! Photos - here!
Thank God - Fall cross
was able to happen! Thus Ašais runners too took a part in Cesis
region fall cross. Furthermore, the track was selected by our own
coach! SC Ašais athletes most definitely demonstrated the beauty of
athletics by winning 6 medals, 5 of them being absolute victories!
First to set off was Stella Paltiņa with an excellent performance!
Stella not only had the quickest stride in her own age group and
primary school group, but also in highschool group of the 1km
distance! Thus Stella had the quickest stride from all
girls!
The most compelling
start in the school championship came about to none other than
Roberts Glazers, who managed to outrun his strongest opponent
Lauris Grīniņš, therefore winning 3rd stage both in his age group
and overall! Furthermore, Roberts had the fastest time from all
"squirrel" distance runners! Which means that Roberts will have to
run full force in the last stage in order to be the absolute winner
overall. Overall and in U14 age group among girls, Stella Paltiņa
2nd, who managed to outrun, till now undefeated, estere
Volfa!
Fall in the calendar of SC Ašais continues with the Latvian championship
in cross. In spite of C-19, many running lovers had come to this event.
Each age group had its strongest athletes participating. That made the
whole event much more intriguing. We are pleased to announce, that in
U14 age group with a tough battle, with an excellent dash to the finish
line, Stella Paltiņa got gold! Thus Stella has concluded her first year
in the U14 group with a rating of brilliant. Stella got bronze in winter
and now two gold medals - 1000m(track and field) and cross! A dramatic
fight for Roberts concluded with 4th place in U18 age group. Bronze in
the 5km cross was only 4 seconds away, however, being the youngest in
this group, the result was very good. Age group was mega tough. In girl
U16 group Elza Niklase was 7th. Unfortunately, Renāte Beļājeva cocludes
her season 10th. Photos - here!
Despite the worldwide
pandemic, summer season of 2020 has turned out to be a dense one.
Light euphoria because expectation for the season were exceeded.
This year, almost all Ašais athletes were in the younger year of
their respective age groups, which often times is a disadvantage,
but not for our athletes, because of the hard work during
quarantine. This summer, athletes of Ašais won gold and bronze in
Latvian championships, in addition a bronze medal in Baltic
Championship for U16 too! Small note - in each age group to U18,
there are two athletes. The statistics are as follow:
It is clear that this
has been the all time latest season in athletics in the history of
SC Ašais. Not the longest, but the latest. Never before had we
finished the summer season in August 22nd, but if we can finish a
season in this manner, then we can finish it even in January!
Journey to Pärnu was because of the last part of a
race series hosted by the Estonian Athletics federation in the
excellent stadium of this city! And look how it turned out - Ašais
runners went home with 5 pedestals and 4 PB's! All as one started
in 800m. The fastest of Ašais runners in this distance was Roberts
Glazers, who got silver medal in the U18 age group with a fresh new
PB of 2:04,46! Stella Paltiņa with a super PB of 2:29,25 and a
silver medal in the U14 age group!
There is bright side
for everything, even the monster with the name of Covid19, but if
it wasn't for Covid19, then SC Ašais wouldn't have started
participating in Tartu sports club's race series! It was worth it!
In the last race of the series, Ašais athletes manage to run like
the Flash. Firstly, track was litu up by Roberts Glazers in the
1500m race, leaving his toughest opponent in the dust and hopeless
- Kronberg from Tartu. Roberts 3rd overall, unquestionably the
fastest amongst the youth and 2nd fastest in the U18 Latvian
ratings this summer - 4:15,55!
Unusual to talk about the start of Stirnu Buks season in August, when usually the seasons final adventures occur, but this is an unusual year.
Trail runners had also been put to rest by the relentless C19, however
trail
running in Stirnu Buks has finally returned. And this time to one of our
favorite outdoor spots! Ašais runners have jumped from stadium to
trailrunning further proving why athletics is the queen of sports. Why?
Because Stirnu Buks has started with excellent results! SC Ašais got the
title of the fastest team, and 4 of our 6 athletes also took a spot on
the pedestal. Victory for Stella Paltiņa (U14) and Renāte Beļājeva
(U18), silver for Roberts Glazers (U18) and Elza Niklase (U16)!
Furthermore all three Ašais girls are TOP 5 overall among girls - Stella
2nd, Elza 4th and Renāte 5th! Even more so, Stella was only 17 seconds
from the overall winner among girls - Estere Volfa! Roberts, however
concludes the TOP 3 boys overall, being just behind U20 Niks Zauls and
his own age groups Ralfs Rogs, with whom Roberts has tough competition
also in stadiums. Roberts relentless chase after vocyory is proven by
the results of boys TOP 3 - Roberts was only 6 seconds from 2nd place
and a few more from the 1st place... Ričards Špacs got got 6th place in
U16 and Roberts Cercins 9th. Photos - here! Results - here!
2019. /2020. season is the 12th season of SC Ašais! What is sports club AŠAIS? It is one big sports family with many different personalities, but it is believed to have one big collective and personal goal - to be better both in sport and in life. And the pursuit of the great goals is one that brings us together everyday - in training sessions, races, jokes, laughs and all the good things that happen to us!
