SUNDFÉLAG HAFNARFJARÐAR

It is not common that in a large team each and everybody can perform on his/her best like in this year. All performances were close or better to the seasonal best times. 86,8% of all races showed improvements – another best mark of ÍM 50 2016.

Beside her 5 individual new and defended titles Hrafnhildur Lúthersdóttir was awarded with the Sigurðarbikarinn for the best breaststroke performance of ÍM50, and additionally with the Kolbrúnarbikarinn for the pointhighest best performance of 2015/16 (between the two ÍM´s) for her fabulous race in 200m bringusund at the HM in Russia last year.

Aron Örn Stefánsson confirmed his sprint abilities on long course over the 50 and 100m skriðsund, and repeated his wins from the ÍM25.

One new title for Ingibjörg Kristín Jónsdóttir in 50m flugsund, besides her 3 silver medals in 50 and 100m skrið, and 50m baksund.

Never tired of long distance training, and always ready to race: Bára Kristín Björgvinsdóttir succeeded with gold in 800m skriðsund, and 2 silvers in 400 and 1500m.

The same rewards for Viktor Máni Vilbergsson: gold for 200m bringa, silver for 50 and 100m.

Two more titles went to the relay teams: One Icelandic record secured the gold in the 4x50m free mixed team, while the men´s 4x100m fjórsund celebrated their gold (Kolbeinn, Viktor, Predrag, Aron Örn).

More medals to come and to count:

Another push for the long distance: 2 silver in 800 and 1500m, 1 brons in 400m freestyle with endless working Hafþór Jón Sigurðsson; and while his talent is the long distance, he loves the butterfly: silver over 200m sums up his collection to four medals.

2 repeated silver in very respectful times through Kolbeinn Hrafnkelsson in 50 and 100m baksund.

New swimmers on the podium: Katarína Róbertsdóttir with silver in 200m and brons in 100m baksund.

Also Sunna Svanlaug Vilhjálmsdóttir earned those medals: 1 silver for a great 200m bringa, and brons for her 100m.

Predrag Milos keeps always with the top, and is always a garant for fast swims: 3 brons in 50m skrið and flug, and 100m flugsund.

2 brons medals for Eyrún Agla Friðriksdóttir in lonely races over 800 and 1500m skriðsund.

The same result for Ólafur Sigurðsson: 2 brons in 200 skrið and 200 bringa.

And never giving in: Karen Sif Vilhjálmsdóttir wins 2 brons in 50m bringa and flugsund – always a danger for the top-swimmers.

And more medals to the relays: silver for the 4x100m skriðsund and fjórsund women, 4x50m fjórsund mixed, and brons to 4x50m skriðsund mixed.

More to come from further swimmers with lots of personal best times (PB´s):
