[@scottm.4091]

These girls glow with a positive vibe! Their smiles are so genuine. I feel like a teenage fan when I see them.

Thumbs-UP #214 I am, Sunday 5 May 2019! Extremely fascinating video and background knowledge on Iceland!

[@AAGFF]

omg ! much love to you girls

[@dennishena1399]

That "Dottir" trailer was so good, I wish I was Icelandic and had "dottir" in my last name...and I'm a guy.

[@bicperform]

I need Dottir trailer. Very inspiring for women.

[@Mani_Matter]

Don’t see any women

[@emzzan88]

I have never wanted to be Icelandic more than now!!!

[@ianbrewer4843]

Good info

[@michaelguest4247]

Would have been nice to see these two in the actual competition

[@sasalih5736]

the best

[@RennieNightcart]

Icelanders are amazing people. With a population of only circa 360,000, they are, per capita, the smartest, fittest and strongest people in the World!

[@suneetsrivastava24]

Katrin has a billion dollar smile!

[@1articoli]

It's amazing that 3 of the top female cross fit competitors in the world are from Iceland, a country of only 300,000 +- people. I wonder why we see so many videos of Annie and Katrin training together, or just hanging out, but few, if any of Sara being in the mix. Is it because of different training schedules or other personal commitments?

[@iduns6534]

I believe Annie was Katrin’s first Crossfit coach. They are close friends since many years.

[@muhammadputera6593]

@@iduns6534 wow that's ridiculously amazing. Imagine being a 2-time Games champion coaching a young talent who develops into another 2-time Games champion. What are the odds? There's nothing else like it I think. Even in other sports it's hard to think of parallels

[@Mani_Matter]

Steroids

[@1articoli]

@@Mani_MatterAnd you know this how? In any case, they would have to be the only ones using for that to be the reason. That's very doubtful. But your simple answer I'm sure gives you great comfort.

[@Mani_Matter]

Stan Schurman all elite CrossFit Athletes are on roids. By women easy to spot. They look more and more male

[@noemivanlochem1029]

I ship it XD

[@twdoerr]

They look pretty much alike. They could be sisters.

[@choural]

Them jaws are out of control

[@probitionate]

@2:07 _Hate_ the accepted form on these.

[@oskarjacks3241]

Sobre 'roids través to Iceland, too, good to know hehe!

[@Txcowboy80]

Oskar Jacks just cause you’re a little bitch don’t project on these women.

[@LucilleMilo]

annie set the stage for poorly executed reps throughout this sanctional. poor job annie, and poor job by the event organizers/judges.

[@whiteribbonman1]

+Thomas Daly And comments by you made in extremely poor taste bloke!

[@LucilleMilo]

@@whiteribbonman1 meh. knew someone would white knight her. my comment is fair commentary. i said nothing untoward...or....unwarranted. if this was invictus or opex, the internet would have exploded by now.

[@woof7679]

Why does she never talk about the steroids she uses

[@athlEATcoach]

And you know that because...? I'm not saying she ain't but just because someone is muscular is not prove that she is taking steroids!

[@valeriamoreno4297]

You should watch The redeemed and the Dominant Fittest on Earth in Netflix. It about the CrossFit games and they talk about steroids. Everyone that competes gets tested. They are not in steroids.

[@tetmang]

​@@valeriamoreno4297 They are all taking steroids. Not only in CrossFit but in almost all other professional sports where it is highly competitive like MMA and boxing. Tests don't mean anything, it is very easy to pass tests and there many ways to do so, the ones that get caught either took too much or didn't do a good job at hiding it. All professional CrossFit athletes are on steroids. There is no way for a woman to have such large and round shoulders and huge neck muscles like a man. Here is a good video about crossfit women on steroids th-cam.com/video/yPQD9mfj_hA/w-d-xo.html

[@siheath3648]

@@valeriamoreno4297 Nope, not everyone will be tested, there is a random element at sanctioned events and podium athletes will be tested. But as Alex Tbr rightly pointed out, their testing is very low level, this isn't USADA level testing, there are dozens of compounds that will boost performance which will be out of your system in a matter of days, sometimes hours. Don't misunderstand me, the elite Crossfit men and women are tremendous athletes, freaks of nature no question, but if you think you can train high intensity, high volume, heavy weight, 2-3 hours a day, every single day throughout the year without taking PEDs, then I have a bridge to sell you...

[@lifewithrich-yt]

And out comes the expert...

[@Mani_Matter]

Why they look so male ?

[@sonjaemery]

They don’t....
