Helga María Vilhjálmsdóttir

On 24 August 2017 Helga broke her leg while training on the Folgefonna glacier in Norway. Due to a difficult infection in the fracture she has not been able to train since the accident. The Icelandic Health Insurance agency came to the conclusion that Helga was not entitled to injury compensation as she was training with a foreign athletic club abroad, despite she was there on behalf of the Icelandic ski national team who paid for her training as there were no suitable training sites in Iceland due to the time of year.
