Kristina Vestveit

Kristina Vestveit, (born August 24, 1986) is a Norwegian rifle shooter. She is selected to represent Norway during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Norwegian Shooting Federation had suggested to select Ingrid Stubsjøen, but the Norwegian National Olympic Commitee selected Vestveit instead after good performances in the final World Cup event of the 2008 season [ [http://www.nrksport.no/meisterskap/beijing_2008/1.6036489 Vraket skytternes OL-kandidat - Beijing 2008 - NRK Sport ] ] .
