Fun moment/moments in competition: Once I was riding Stefnir frá Tunguhálsi a really good five gait program which I later rode at a WC. This was when wearing a helmet was starting to be a rule and I had this helmet that has this stretch under the chin. During the pace the helmet fell off and after a discussion amongst the judged I was disqualified. Ohhh, typical !
What is the first thing you do when you wake up: open my eyes and brush my teeth
What were you bad at in school: I think I can say that I was pretty even in everything but maybe statistics in Uni was the most difficult for me.
Favourite Eurovision song: The swedish song, I think it's called Hero.
What to riders would you pick to join you on a deserted Island: Hinna and Gústa, you can laugh with them.
A crazy fact about yourself: I was 3 months pregnant with Gústi at the WC in 1995 when I was in second place in five gait and third place in T2. It was 30 degrees the entire championship and I had morning sickness the whole time, my only nutrition was orange juice and ice tea.
Do you follow any other sports : yes, fotball a little, can’t avoid it and when the icelandic national team play in football and handball.
