Great video! Thanks for highlighting some lesser known athletes. I fear too much of our sport is focused on popularity, looks.. superficial who's in the "in" crowd and we all end up losing out from that. There are so many tremendous athletes whose stories we all want to hear. Thanks for the content.
Darn these videos... they are making me want everyone to win! Really cool getting a better understanding of who they are. It will really make the games that much better to watch!
I think that Jamie Greene chick is gonna surprise a lot of people and do super good this year, I can't wait to see that. I also think Camille and Kari are gonna crush it at the games too. Something about these videos, Im guessing the editing and music choices, get me so hyped for the Regionals and Games approaching, which Im sure is the intention. That ending montage of them all going through workouts mixed with the heavy music was just...wow. Disregard all the tech issues the CrossFit media people have issues with, these videos and little movies are legit as f*ck. (rant over)
I applaud Camille on being real and talking about the things that you know go through every competitors head. I dont see the attitude thing at all. Shes a competitor. WTF do people expect?
Americanbullytrainer I agree. She's very sarcastic and people take what she's saying serious. For them to all compete against each other but still be able to all be in the same room together and get along and joke around is great!
I agree. I do have to say, though, that this video had far more tolerable music. Perhaps it shows my age, but in so many other videos i just can't stand the heavy beat filled EDM/electronic (i don't even know what it is called) music that is used. Thanks, Crossfit, for using more "accessible" music in this one!
I think an athlete that could really do some damage that I never hear anyone talking about is sarah scholl, she's pretty amazing herself, phenomenal physique and a huge drive and hunger to win.
Matej Tandaric Do you happen to know if Froning is competing in individuals this year? It'd be nice to see him and Fraser go at it. Otherwise I'm with you, I think Fraser is going to take it.
I thought her attitude shown in this video was great. She's seen the harsh, emotionless, financial side of professional sports now and is therefor far more wise than many around her. She doesn't want to lose more of her soul to be a walking advertisement; a breathing stock car (figuratively) emblazoned with logos. Perhaps her attitude of having fun and seeing how good she can be will take her back to the top.
Mmh, I actually thought that too. Those elements of her mentality are pretty good in my opinion, and there's no issue with her mindset in that regard. Where I see her issues is in her ability to see herself from an outside perspective, identify her own flaws and work on them unhindered by her pride. Compare Katrin, who I think has a great mindset and is a very mature athlete, to Camille. When Katrin does poorly, she doesn't even think about what circumstances could have led to that. All she thinks about is what she can do better. Camille, on the other hand, is quick to get frustrated, blame others, and ignore the possibilities for growth. Which I think is fairly normal, and what Katrin, Mat or Ben are doing is really really hard, but that just means Camille isn't on their mental level anymore. She fails to realise her own potential because she's more worried about her self-image than her achievements. Whether that's good or bad is a matter of perspective, I don't like it myself because I think I can be proud of myself if I give my best, so that's where I want to put my focus.
I thought this was a comment section where we are allowed/encouraged to express our opinions. I agree with you, I am not in her shoes. I do not know what she is truly going through, but as an outsider I can see her negative demeanor. I am not bashing Camille in a bad way. I am saying in a lot of recent videos with her, her attitude is awkward and not in the spirit of a winner. I wish her all the best and would like nothing more than a good comeback story.
Cam is so nice on camera, but she is really snooty if you meet her in person. Disappointing that's she's two-faced when it comes to how she acts to the media vs the community
I do remember a couple of years ago Dave (husband) answering a question about how he has to step in often and always keep his eyes on her because of guys being strange around her, must be a tough thing to live with every time you meet someone
LXAsx457 Just look at the shoulder development. Highly likely that they take testosterone, the men too. You have more androgen receptors in the shoulders, back and traps, which activate by binding with with testosterone or other androgenic hormones. It's near impossible to get that kind of upper body development in females without testosterone, or some kind of PED. Most athletes competing at the top level are on PED's. Testosterone is considered a PED, but if you keep the levels within a reasonable range then you can't get busted for it. Plus it works wonders for recovery.. Ask any exercise physiologist and they'll tell you the same thing.
Is it just me or is Camille LeBlanc always smiling? It's so wonderful to have such a great personality in the crossfit community!
@youngbuck0911 when has she been ruse and condescending?
Jamie Greene is an exquisite athlete, vids of her performance rep for rep are phenomenal.
I liked the contrast of everyone in this one!

Camille's Quote at 15:28 was amazingly insightful and true
More Dave and Camille please
Darn these videos... they are making me want everyone to win! Really cool getting a better understanding of who they are. It will really make the games that much better to watch!
Another week and I still love these!!

Kari Pearce singing 'something just like this' is everything
Can't wait to see Dancer next!
this videos are so good. motivation level over 9000!
I applaud Camille on being real and talking about the things that you know go through every competitors head. I dont see the attitude thing at all. Shes a competitor. WTF do people expect?
Americanbullytrainer I agree. She's very sarcastic and people take what she's saying serious. For them to all compete against each other but still be able to all be in the same room together and get along and joke around is great!
The episode was so awesome..and that last music..man that was really good..
Can't wait for Dancer!!
The video is nice, but such different volume between music and speaking is really irritating.
I agree. I do have to say, though, that this video had far more tolerable music. Perhaps it shows my age, but in so many other videos i just can't stand the heavy beat filled EDM/electronic (i don't even know what it is called) music that is used.

Common theme in all HQ videos. The audio mix is usually very bad.
Whoever cuts the final edit does a Top job, Love it!
I could listen to Jamie Greene talk all day long
Love you Camille
Cam to win again she needs that.
Love Kari!
Can't wait to see "The Pride" in Wisconsin!
1- The end of the video was defnitely way more exciting lol
2- OH THE CHILLS. YEAH SAMMMMM :D
Overhead squat better than front squat. What the hell?!?!
Smith's Fitness some people are like that. My upper body is stronger than my lower body (bench over squat).
Whoever named this video may be a DC comics fan, and I approve!
Sam dancer yessssssssss!!!!!!
Kari is trendemous in the upper body
Please make RTTG about northern male athletes: Jonne Koski, BK Gudmundsson and Lukas Hogberg 🙏🏻💪🏼😄
Jamie greene
Awesomeness!
I think an athlete that could really do some damage that I never hear anyone talking about is sarah scholl, she's pretty amazing herself, phenomenal physique and a huge drive and hunger to win.
Go Jamie Greene!
Ese video es muy educativo
I fuckin' Love this series! #Roadtothegames
Can you guys fix the sound? The levels are all messed up.
Nice
Go win the CrossFit Games, Sam!
YESSS SAMMMMM DANCER
damn Kari with that commute is tough. and Damn Jamie lives in the UAE I cant imagine
What is the song that starts at the beginning? 1:00
Sam Dancer wins cf games, yeah... when Fraser is dead
Second place is not winning the cf games
Matej Tandaric Do you happen to know if Froning is competing in individuals this year? It'd be nice to see him and Fraser go at it. Otherwise I'm with you, I think Fraser is going to take it.
Don't think so, he retired from individual and only competes as a team
Does anyone know what backpack Kari has? See around 01:40.
someone knows the name of the track at the beginning? with Pearce, in 2:00
Dave is such a wife :D
Best
at 17:36 50 burpee box jump overs 6 inch, that must be a mistake, no?
actually, maybe not... they show her at 18:27 doing that, nevermind
Did anyone else see the dove at 11:51?
Does anyone know the song from 18:07 to outro?
Did you find out the name of the song?
No, unfortunately. I'm still waiting if someone can find out for me.
@Tsvetelin Choranov Thank you!!!
Volume sucks
When Jamie Does Crossfit hahahaha

no but her smile and hair style looks good.
Hi can anyone tell me what is that exercise at 4:22 !!! ??
We call that a Turkish get-up in my gym.
Awesome ! Yes found an illustration for it. Thank you so much !
she looks like a peanuts character lol
Who?
Love these road to the games... Can't wait for Josh Bridges Episode!
and heyyyyy check me out, got Crossfit vlog workout channel :)
Cam is crossfits darling but her attitude is poor. if she wants to win again she needs to work on that more than anything else.
Couldn't agree more.
I thought her attitude shown in this video was great. She's seen the harsh, emotionless, financial side of professional sports now and is therefor far more wise than many around her. She doesn't want to lose more of her soul to be a walking advertisement; a breathing stock car (figuratively) emblazoned with logos. Perhaps her attitude of having fun and seeing how good she can be will take her back to the top.

All she thinks about is what she can do better. Camille, on the other hand, is quick to get frustrated, blame others, and ignore the possibilities for growth. Which I think is fairly normal, and what Katrin, Mat or Ben are doing is really really hard, but that just means Camille isn't on their mental level anymore. She fails to realise her own potential because she's more worried about her self-image than her achievements. Whether that's good or bad is a matter of perspective, I don't like it myself because I think I can be proud of myself if I give my best, so that's where I want to put my focus.
well, I dont think thats up to you to say, its easy for you to say this, but in her shoes it might be a whole different things to look at things
I thought this was a comment section where we are allowed/encouraged to express our opinions. I agree with you, I am not in her shoes. I do not know what she is truly going through, but as an outsider I can see her negative demeanor. I am not bashing Camille in a bad way.

Cam is so nice on camera, but she is really snooty if you meet her in person. Disappointing that's she's two-faced when it comes to how she acts to the media vs the community
Beuligan oh is she really? :( did you meet her?
Unfortunately. Not a fan of hers since then
I do remember a couple of years ago Dave (husband) answering a question about how he has to step in often and always keep his eyes on her because of guys being strange around her, must be a tough thing to live with every time you meet someone
I met her. She was wonderful.
French Canadian.....strange people.
Is it me or does Kari Pearce and Tia Toomey look alike?
I wonder if Cross fit stretches out their vagaga's?
Breatheable Makes them more "exercised"......therefore able to be tightened.
This was one of the weaker episodes.
i feel the smell of testosterone in the air!!
What do you think the chances are that these ladies are not on some kind of anabolic steroid?
I'd say small, since some compete at the Olympics as well.
Are you suggesting lifters at the Olympics are not on anabolic steroids?
LXAsx457 Just look at the shoulder development. Highly likely that they take testosterone, the men too. You have more androgen receptors in the shoulders, back and traps, which activate by binding with with testosterone or other androgenic hormones.

No you got it wrong again.. ROID to the games.
How much steroids do these "Women" use?
I could listen to Camille say here name all day 😂
