Kristina Iren Vestveit (born 24 August 1986) is a Norwegian rifle shooter. She was selected to represent Norway during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[1] The Norwegian Shooting Federation had suggested to select Ingrid Stubsjøen, but Olympiatoppen selected Vestveit instead after good performances in the final World Cup event of the 2008 season.[2]
Vestveit received her first international senior medal when she was only 18 years old, when she won the bronze medal in the 300 m Rifle Three Positions event during the European Championships in Belgrade 2005.[3] A year later she became junior World Champion in 50 m Rifle Three Positions during the 2006 ISSF World Shooting Championships in Zagreb.
