About Athlete
My personal objective is to beat the Icelandic men’s high jump record of 2.28 meters before the age of 20 and compete in the Olympic games in 2028. Once enrolled at a university, I’m determined to excel both in the classroom and in my sport. I have the drive and character to succeed in both areas and at the same time have positive impact on my teammates, coaches and the university I represent.
