Vilhjalmur Einarsson (born June 5, 1934) is a former Icelandic athlete, and triple-jump silver medalist at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. Vilhjalmur grew up in the East-Icelandic fishing village of Rey arfjor ur and is the son of Einar Stefansson and Sigri ur Vilhjalmsdottir. In 1956 Vilhjalmur set a new Olympic Record by jumping 16.26 m in the triple jump, only to be surpassed by Brazil's Adhemar da Silva. This was the most unexpected result of the Olympics that year, and his silver medal was Iceland's first ever Olympic medal. His personal best was 16.70 m set in 1960 in Laugardalsvollur, Iceland. He has been declared Icelandic Sportsman of the Year 5 times, more than anyone else.
