Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Asdis Hjalmsdottir:
I think the nutrition that I give my body plays a big part here, as well as the fact I grew up in Iceland where we don’t have a lot of sun for the biggest part of the year. These factors really contribute to keeping your skin looking young. I don’t have any special skin treatment and I don’t dye my hair so this is all natural and reflects how I treat my body.

Love what you do and enjoy every step of the way. You should always believe in yourself and not let others bring you down because if you have passion for what you do and enjoy it then the results will follow. Many people get too caught up in focusing on a specific goal and achieving that can give you pleasure for a short time but the journey to get there is so much longer. If you enjoy every step of the way you will be much happier, your life will be better and that will translate into better results in your sport. When I was younger I made this mistake of focusing too hard on the destination but throughout the years I have learned that it really is all about the journey.

Ms. Asdis Hjalmsdottir:
When I first started with athletics it was pretty clear that I had a talent for the throwing events. Originally I started as a discus thrower at a very young age but as I tried out the shot put and the javelin I got a hold of them as well. For a few years my results in the javelin and the discus were very similar so I had to choose between the two events.
Javelin was where my heart was and I liked the javelin training more so that was my choice and I have never regretted that. However I kept competing in the shot and the discus for fun and for my club and my national team. I had already a good technical background in these events so I could achieve these results with very little technical training simply by being in shape for javelin. Again I think that my background in many different sports as a kid helped me and I have always been quick to adapt to technical training.
