Reason: "My mother saw an advertisement regarding Para sports. We then went to practice. I thought it was fun, but I started in the sprint and long jump before I moved to the throwing events. I clearly remember going on a competitive trip to Tunisia when I was probably around 12 or 13 years old. There I was supposed to compete in the sprint and shot put, but I suffered a strain injury. As a result, I only competed in the shot put, and this is the clearest memory from the shot put competition in those years, as coming to Tunisia was a lot of fun. I also remember that I got a big and massive prize money in this tournament." (hvatisport.is, 14 Feb 2024) Ambition: To compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. (ruv.is, 04 Dec 2023)
