Description

Guðni Valur Guðnason was a European Championships finalist in 2022 and has the Icelandic record in discus throw with 69.35 m, just shy of the magic 70 m barrier.


As Guðni prepares for the European Championships next week with the hopes of securing his spot in the Paris Olympics in the next month, we talk about how his golf background has influenced his discus technique and mental game.


We discuss the highs and lows of his career, including his battle with peritonitis and achieving one of the furthest throws in history.


Guðni's ability to keep things so simple while having a fierce drive made for a very interesting conversation that is nothing short of inspirational.
