Some pictures of Elin Holst and Frami frá Ketilsstöðum from the Icelandic Championship 2017. The results was far away from last years three victories but still very good. They ended on the second place in a very strong 4 gate and on the sixth pace in T2. Frami had a injury short time before the championships that we believe had a negative effect on the results.
