Pétur Guðmundsson (athlete)

Pétur Guðmundsson (born 9 March 1962) is a retired shot putter and Highland games competitor from Iceland. He represented Iceland at the 1988 Summer Olympics and 1992 Summer Olympics. He is a police officer by profession.

Career

Shot put and discus

Pétur's personal best shot put of 21.26 metres (69 ft 9 in), thrown on 10 November 1990 in Mosfellsbær[1] ranked him the number 3 shot putter in the world during that year.[2] His competition best is 20.04 metres (65 ft 9 in) achieved at 1994 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Paris, France where he won bronze. Pétur won five gold medals at Games of the Small States of Europe for shot put in 1985, 1987, 1991, 1993 and 1997; and a gold and bronze in discus throw in 1997 and 1993 respectively.

Highland games

Pétur is also the world record holder in the Braemar Stone throw at three different weights: 30 lb (13.6 kg) for 11.65 metres (38 ft 3 in) (Estes Park, Colorado, 2000), 28 lb (12.7 kg) for 12.47 metres (40 ft 11 in) (Fredericksburg, Virginia, 2000) and 22 lb (10.0 kg) for 15.39 metres (50 ft 6 in) (Fredericksburg, Virginia, 1997),[3] and is often regarded as one of the greatest stone throwers in history.

Strongman

Having competed in Strongman at national level, Pétur won third place back to back in 1992 and 1993 Iceland’s Strongest Man. He is one of only a few men who has lifted the legendary Brynjólfstak which weighs 281.5 kg (621 lb). Petursstein, another iconic Icelandic Lifting stone located in front of the Dynjandi waterfall in the Westfjords, is named after him.
