Eydis Konráðsdóttir (born February 16, 1978) is an Icelandic former swimmer, who specialized in sprint butterfly events. [1] She represented Iceland in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and also held an Icelandic record in the 100 m butterfly until it was later broken by Kolbrún Yr Kristjánsdóttir and Sarah Blake Bateman within the 2000s decade. Konradsdottir is a medicine undergraduate at the University of New South Wales, and also married to Australia's medley swimmer and three-time Olympian Matthew Dunn. [2] [3]
Konradsdottir made her first Icelandic team, as an eighteen-year-old junior, at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where she competed in the 100 m butterfly. Swimming in heat three, she picked up a fifth seat and twenty-ninth overall in 1:03.41. [4]
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Konradsdottir competed again in the 100 m butterfly. She achieved a FINA B-cut of 1:02.93 from the Mare Nostrum Meet in Canet-en-Roussillon, France. [3] [5] [6] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including Thailand's three-time Olympian Praphalsai Minpraphal. She posted a seventh-place time of 1:03.27 in her own race to edge out Trinidad and Tobago's Siobhan Cropper by 0.07 seconds. Konradsdottir failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-ninth overall on the first day of prelims. [7] [8]
