Eyðbjørn Joensen is a Faroese swimmer. He is born in 1996, so he is still very young (sep. 2010), but he has already had some good results. In June 2010 he won gold at the Danish Swimming Championships for Juniors (Danske Årgangsmesterskaber, or short DÅM) in 400 meters freestyle. At the Farose National Championships 2010 he won 7 gold medals for Juniors even if he won't reach the age of the juniors until three years later, in 2013. After the FM competition in 2010 Eyðbjørn Joensen was chosen to be the Ársins Stjørnuskot, which can be translated with "The new young talent of the year" (stjørnuskot means Shooting star). Eyðbjørn Joensen is the younger brother of Pál Joensen, who is the most famous and the best Faroese swimmer until now; he won silver at the European Championships 2010 on long course in Budapest in 1500m freestyle. Eyðbjørn Joensen swims just like his brother for Susvim and for <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands" class="mw-redirect" title="Faroe Islands">Faroe Islands</a>.
