WP:NOLY has changed since last AfD, inherent notability is only granted to medal winners. This article fails

Delete. Sports biographies are subject to a heightened sourcing standard. See
WP:SPORTBASIC prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." This one-sentence stub does not meet the standard.

Delete. Even gold medalists are not afforded inherent notability; as Cbl62 says, all sportsperson biographies must cite a source of SIGCOV in addition to the subject meeting GNG. A search through newspaper archives and ProQuest only turned up brief mentions in the context of the 2000 Games, a short local interview with her son some years later about his cancer, and an article that at first seemed promising but ended up only having a few of sentences actually on Bjarnason and included a high percentage of unencyclopedic details (like her husband and son being in the stands).
