Scooters: Speed and Clarity as One

Scooters is this year’s trend sport. With precision and concentration, the challengers must be able to get through an obstacle course with a scooter. Touching an obstacle will cause an increase on the time, so make sure to not touch the obstacle as every second counts.

Single Disciplines: Touching the Limit

This afternoon, the three disciplines are on the programme. In ball throw, both boys and girls had to throw a 3kg medicine ball as far as they could, using any kind of technique, while staying behind a specific line. Further disciplines were long jump in which students jump three times as far as possible, without any momentum, as well as line run.
