Biography

At the age of 21 he placed third in Iceland's Strongest Man and despite being absent from the podium from 2002 to 2004 he went on to win it four times in a row from 2005 to 2008, by defending the title against several foreign competitors including Adrian Rollinson, Don Pope and Terry Hollands. These wins in one of the most prestigious national competitions strength athletics qualified him for the World's Strongest Man on each occasion. However, in 2008 he was unable to attend and was out for most of that season due to a serious food poisoning incident and knee surgery.
