Høgni Kunoy Dávason from Søldarfjørður won the Nordic Taekwondo Championship in Iceland on Saturday.
The 14-year-old suffers from cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic disorder which affects the lungs.
But this is not holding the young man down. He lived in Singapore for a few years, where he got the black belt in taekwondo.
He says that taekwondo helps him deal with his illness. His daily training helps him maintain a healthy lung capacity.
And now he is the Nordic taekwondo champion in the 15-17 age group, weight class -59kg.
