Congratulations to my friends in Iceland, population 300,000. They represented well at European Championships.
Norma Robertsdottir is a reserve alternate for the Europeans Vault Final. As she was last year in Moscow. Her score was higher this year. 🙂
It was the first Iceland score higher than 14.00.
She’s getting closer to an international final.
Norma is coached by Gudmundur Brynjolfsson and Svava Björg Örlygsdottir.
