Dordi Agate Nordby (born April 8, 1964 in Bærum ) is a Norwegian curler . She is two-time world champion and two-time European champion.
She made her international debut in 1981. At the beginning of the 1990s she experienced the peak of her sporting career. At the 1990 World Cup in Västerås and the 1991 World Cup in Winnipeg , Nordby played in the position of skip and won the world title both times; she also became European champion in Lillehammer in 1990 . Nordby was not able to fully build on these successes, but held on to the top of the world and won numerous other medals. At the 1999 European Championships in Chamonix , she was European champion for the second time.
Nordby represented Norway at the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary and at the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville . The bronze or silver medals won do not have an official status, however, as curling was still a demonstration sport at that time.
