- The seventh episode of the 2017 Road to the Games series follows last year’s four fittest women as they prepare for fresh adventures and challenges at the new home of the CrossFit Games.
A CrossFit camera crew joins Sam Briggs, 2016’s fourth-place finisher and 2013’s Fittest Woman on Earth, in Manchester, England.
Briggs trains hard to earn her nickname-“The Engine”-but she also explains why it’s important for her to let loose on the weekends.
Sara Sigmundsdottir, bronze medalist two years in a row, is now training in Cookeville, Tennessee, and has spent the last year working with two former champions: four-timer Rich Froning (2011-2014) and 2015 winner Ben Smith.
“She’s like me when I competed a couple years ago,” Froning says.
Tia-Clair Toomey, the second-place finisher in 2015 and 2016 and an Olympian in Rio, says she’s gained confidence since last year’s Games.
Toomey visits Josh Bridges in San Diego, California, to get some obstacle-course training and address some weaknesses.
Katrin Davidsdottir, the Fittest Woman on Earth in 2015 and 2016, says with a smile, “I have no weaknesses. I have things that I’m better at and worse at.”
But don’t assume she’s become overly confident.
“Winning twice in a row does nothing for me this year,” she says. “Everyone’s on a clean slate.”

"I would skip class to go sleep in the bathroom, because I was tired" - Sara Sigmundsdottir
Can we just take a moment? xD I'm soooo dead
"If you eat something in the car it doesn't count...your in transit!" - Sam LOVE IT
Way too cool
When she said, "winning twice in a row does nothing," is when you know how humbling this sport can make you. That's a champion attitude
Obviously everyone loves Sara. Can we get a video 40 mins long dedicated to her 🤷🏻♀️
There's a "Day in the Life of Sara..." video that Crossfit Mayhem put up on their channel. It's pretty great.
Natalie S. i saw it. It was great. I have been waiting all my life for such a video. Now all they need to do is let me interview her lol.
Or Perseverance videos are good too love them
I'm pretty sure,Sara is the cutest and most likeable person to ever walk the earth,I love her smile and she pretty much smiles all the time.
I wanna find someone who talks about me the way Sara talks about food ❤️
loose some weight
so true! lol
Haha yes. I put powdered peanut butter in my oatmeal mow because of the way she talks about it and damn its good
I want to talk go Sara
Am I watching this for free? Is this a dream?
vdmnkv LMFAOOOO
Don't jinx it.
A wet dream
For someone as incredibly fit and talented as Briggs she gets very little 'air time' , I hope she kills it at the games again!
I would NOT be surprised if Sam was on the podium again.
Idk i think it has a lot to do with her being from Northern England and not being as much of a poster girl type like the Iceland girls. The way shes recovered from injuries to qualify for the games this year though is nothing short of amazing.
HarryC I totally agree, the engine of England totally deserves more coverage
Pssh. Air time. The only thing that matters is the competition.
I Think it is because she did not know if she was going to compete in the the 35-40 class or not.
I shouldn't watch these videos on rest days.... All I want to do is train now
ObesetoBeast NO DAYS OFF
Agreed
@Larry Myers real talk
I never thought I would find a random Obesetobeast comment here, you a great inspiration to many! i wish you the best
😂 me too
These women are so inspiring. I'm so happy Tia is more confident in herself it broke my heart how she was talking about herself last year. Sara, Katrin, Tia, and Sam are all class acts and inspire me to be a better athlete and person. Good luck to all 4 of those gladiators
" When I was 16 I use to skip class and sleep in the bathroom because I was tired " 👏👏😂
The real reason I do Crossfit: to only make one trip in with the groceries. Functional fitness.
I love Sara she is so cute
AJC Fitness omg i know right lol she's my fav
AJC Fitness I just want to smile when the camera is on her. Sweetest girl alive
two champs coaching Sara, cool, let's see what happens
I think everyone does tbh 🤣
Especially when she talks about food....which is pretty much all the time.
Sara is awesome!! Hope she kills it at the Games.
Sex sells don't it
praise God I have prayed for these episodes for so long
right
Adam Fox ben is a mountain of wisdom. You can apply his theories to any career path and you will be great at it. Ben is truly amazing
Thor says "Your are welcome". Thor is the god in charge of CZcams videos. It is good you are providing Thor the respect He deserves.
not the only thing you prayed to be longer, right?
Adam Fox maybe u can also ask God to feed the 9million dying of hunger world wide. U know since he's being so generous allowing us to watch these episodes...a miracle I tell ya... Smh... Sry cudnt help it. The illogicalness (😱) of Religion fucking triggers me.
I always get so excited when there's a new Road to the Games 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Im Literally Obsessed With Sara! 💜💜 She Is So Cute & Bubbly & Is Just So Humble
BugZ that was not one bit freaky...
The production value on this is amazing. I have been waiting PATIENTLY for another one, and it was well worth it. Keep up the good work, Video Team!
as usual the Womens comp will be the killer one to watch, any of these talented ladies could take it out!
Dylan Pardon woman's competition is SO much more hype then the males. Woman's division is so deep
The coolest thing about crossfit is how all the athletes train together. It's not like you see the Bronco's training with the Pirates. It's such a unique thing, :s.
M1Gaming well to be fair, those are two different sports
Broncos and Patriots. But I get what you're saying lol
Skabanis Malaka no one pays you to be fat and of below average intelligence. Let me know when Reebok comes calling to put you in a commercial or you're on ESPN.
Skabanis Malaka it's a bunch of gym people who make it into a sport to fit in with the real athletes
Alejandro Sanchez you mean like the Olympian in this video?
It's so funny how katrin and Sara train completely differently. Katrin is controlled and measured in every way and Sara is loose and free. It's by far the most compelling storyline going into the games imo. It's like Bergeron vs froning training styles.
Tommy Geairn that is a pretty cool assessment of the two. I am reading Bergeron's book and its ridiculous at how meticulous (in a good way) he is in his approach with his programming and how he trains his athletes. I would love to read Froning's book to see the differences in approaches.
Tommy Geairn YES!!!!!
I Love Sara So Much
She's so Passionate ♡
Sex sells don't it
Tia is my #1 pick. She has all the athletic ability...she just needs to improve her mental game. Rid of all self-doubt!
So what are you going to eat after the games?
*deep sigh*
"Pizza burger." -- Sara Sigmundsdottir, 2017 CrossFit Games Champion.
It is Tia Clair Toomey
I want her to win so bad
This is perhaps my favorite CrossFit video of all time. The girls have made a quantum leap physically, mentally, and spiritually in just the last few years.
And no reply. CrossFiters must check their own brains and see if a reply exists.
Sara with those grocery bags, though!! :D She is so damn likable.
Sara is entertaining to watch. Got love for her and Toomey.
Sara is such a gem. Such a genuine person. Love her to bits.
SARA FOR THE WIN #2017...
Alexius S She's my top pick!! They're all awesome! #CrossFitGames #2017
19:30 Ben Bergeron is on another level with his coaching! Seriously I'm with Cole, that ice visualization was the best fitness analogy I've ever heard in my life.
Katrin's accent is virtually gone. Crazy.
WE WANT 17.5 STILL!
Brady Page wordddd
Brady Page - On the CrossFitbJournal site - subs only content like all the Behind the Scenes for previous years
Yeah, we all know it's on Journal. That's the problem.
Brady Page don't worry, it wasn't great
Josh in the background lmao "GUYS WE CAN GET MORE WATER!"
Noah Florendo I saw that too haha. Was he talking to his kids?
I stopped working out😣.... Never new these women existed, after watching 1 Cross fit game on CZcams I was hooked!!! I'm eating healthier I started working out. I stopped partying and fooling around with friends that did the same thing every weekend.... These woman are more then inspiring. They are LIFE changers!
I really think Toomey will take it this year. Sara will give her a good fight though.
you were right!
See...doing the things good again...thanks....I'm recovering my trust on the company
Sara's voice and Katrin's laugh, ughh ❤️
Wow, 2 videos almost in a row. I love you Crossfit
today after 4 months of crossfit i did a rm of clean and jerk at 155 lb and im so happy
Andres g congrats bro. Keep working hard!
thanx man!
Andres g let's get it!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Andres g awesome !! Congrats
lol
The videos are fantastic! Props to the directors, cameraman and editor. And of course Road To The Games is our favorite!
Damn it! Its 2am and this video has me pumped to go train, but I cant cause everything is closed right now! AAAAGGH! The Games are gonna be awesome this year!
Your media team is really doing great things. I come for the sport, I stay for for the personal stories! Good Job.
Exactamundo!
I couldn't resist. Lol "Sara turns a sun burn into a sun tan" -coach. "Yea I love the D...vitamins, been lacking for 18 years" -Sara lol
Hey we have sun in Iceland! Sometimes...
Sara or Tia ❤️💪🏼👏🏼
My favorite has always been Sara but I really like Tia in 2016.
I feel pumped for the games but especially pumped to train after this. It's 5:30 in the morning here, this video was like a dose of coffee
Ben Bergeron reading to his athletes from Joan Didion's 'On Self Respect'... with coaching like that, it's no surprise Katrin's attitude to competition is so positive, insightful and considered. Well done.
Sara's voice crack at 15:35 😍😍😍
These videos are always so good. Its awesome to just see them other than athletes. These women are complete gems and inspirations!
I love Sara!!! Good luck, superwoman!
So inspirational to watch these women. Take nothing for granted and give everything, everyday! Amazing dedication I can't wait to see who triumphs this year🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm rooting for Sara all the way.
100% she's the fave🍟🥓
SO good! rooting for my girl Sara, this is her year!
This episode was absolutely amazing!
Toomey this is your year!!
Watched this 100 times but still gives me goosebumps at the end ^^
Looking forward to seen this video for ages !!! Roll on the games !!
Great videos CrossFit, but y'all need to start posting what the songs are in the background! Their always fantastic but some type of remix to the original that I cant find anywhere!
Phenomenal series. Thank you, CrossFit.
Sara is so cute and funny .. love her
Tia tia Tia is soo pretty with that smile and accent. Sara has the best sense of humor.
Hands down best video ever on the crossfit channel, awesome. I think this was even better then fittest on earth. More pleaseeee :)
Absolutely Epic!!!!! Cant wait for next week good luck to everyone competing
Another great episode of Road to the games - thank you team
Such nice people in crossfit. Tia and Shane are especially cute together.
Sara!!!!! 💯❤️😍💪🏽
One of the best videos yet!
Sarah is the most adorable happy minded person I’ve ever seen
ENJOYING ALL THE UPLOADS! cant wait for the games videos
Im not doing crossfit just on gym but man,these women inspires me to step up my game more!
Tennessee is so beautiful!
Sara's love for food is great hahaha
Lets go Sara!! This is your year!
I love the music at the end so fitting!!!
I swear to god Sam Briggs is reverse aging..
Henry Chen It's all that training! Training is the fountain of youth!
Its called HGH ad steroids lol
Henry Chen I know right
Tye Joseph Steroids don’t make you look younger. If it did old people would be doing steroids. lol what a stupid way to try and accuse someone of steroids, at least find a good reason.
I like all these girls but I LOVE Katrin!!
SAM BRIGGS!
Sara, Tia and Sam are my top 3
Ben is hands down the best coach of all time. He's had winners and top 5, 10, 20 athletes.
Two #RTTG episodes in two days? My hat goes off to you, CrossFit Media.
as soon as I pay the monthly journal fee they start uploading road to the games here
CmonCuhh DAMNNN
Same lol
I love the relationship of Tia and Shane. It's awesome to have one's spouse supporting your dream :)
The two time Fittest Woman on Earth keeps her second place regionals medal in her bag at all time😳 That's the type of stuff GOATs do. I had Tia winning the games this year, but after hearing that, I'm going with Katrina for the three peat.
Who ever is in Charge of this youtube channel great work keep it up its great emotional good content and it represents our sport from its best side.
Better than a movie. I love when all of you train together. Mama mayhem has a room for me too?
31:28 I'm jealous of that back! Very nice build.
“My...crib”. Fucking priceless
Mora Holmgren-Ly WORDDDD gotta love Sara ❤️
Sara is so cool. Love her attitude pre and during training.
I watch this video 5 times in a day
The best one yet.
THANK YOU CROSSFIT MEDIA!!!
Come on Sara this is your year!!!
Great video - super inspiring!!
My favorites in one video! Hell Yea!
Inspiration embodied. Phenomenal athletes.
Brooke and Sarah.........just take my heart already
Best road to the games yet.

Sex sells don't it
