Sigrún Brá Sverrisdóttir (born March 23, 1990 in Reykjavík) is an Icelandic swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] She is a multiple-time Icelandic champion and record holder in the women's freestyle (100, 200, and 400 m), and also, a member of the swimming team for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Sverrisdottir qualified for the women's 200 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:03.35 from the Mare Nostrum Monte Carlo Swim Meet in Monaco.[2] She challenged five other swimmers on the first heat, including 16-year-old Milica Ostojić of Serbia. She rounded out the field to last place by more than a second behind Croatia's Anja Trišić in 2:04.82. Sverrisdottir failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed forty-fifth overall in the preliminary heats.[3]
