Thjalfi

Thor told them to throw the bones into the goatskins, which were spread out near the hearth, but young Thjalfi, in order to get at the marrow, broke one of the shank bones with his knife.

The peasant had a son named Thjalfi, and a daughter, Röska.

In the first race Hugi ran so fast away from Thjalfi that on his returning to the starting-place he met him not far from it.

In the second trial, Thjalfi was a full bow-shot from the boundary when Hugi arrived at it.

Thjalfi said that in running he would compete with any one.
