Amalie Hammild Iuel (born 17 April 1994) is a Danish-Norwegian hurdler. She represented Norway in the women's 400 metres hurdles at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics, but was eliminated in the heats.

Biography[edit]

Amalie Iuel was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and a Danish-Norwegian father; the family moved to Norway when she was two years old, and she spent most of her childhood there.[2][3] The Iuels left Norway when Amalie was twelve due to the demands of her father's job with Telenor; they first moved to Namibia, and later Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Thailand.[2] Iuel took up track and field as a young girl in Norway, but did not pursue it seriously before her time in Thailand at the International School Bangkok (ISB); her coach there, Ugo Costessi, introduced her to the 400 metres hurdles.[2][3] After high school, she moved to the United States and became a student athlete at the University of Southern California (USC).[2]

Personal life[edit]

Iuel has been in a relationship with former alpine skier Aksel Lund Svindal since 2020.[4] The couple had a son, in September 2023.[5] A month later, they announced their engagement.[6]

NCAA[edit]

During the 2015 season (her sophomore year at USC) Iuel set both Danish and Norwegian under-23 records in the women's 400 metres hurdles, running 55.92 as a Dane and 56.36 as a Norwegian.[7] She placed seventh at the 2015 NCAA championships with 56.99.[7]
