Behind the Scenes: 2015 CrossFit Games, Part 2

Go behind the scenes at the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games with unprecedented access to the fittest athletes on the planet. Catch Games competitors in intimate moments and vulnerable positions.
In Part 2 of five, Sevan Matossian shadows competitors before and after Event 3-Murph-and asks prying questions about everything from nutrition and training to self-doubt and hair care.
Jonne Koski, who holds first place after two events, talks about his father’s pressuring him to be an athlete.
“For a teenager he was a pain in the ass sometimes, but I’m really thankful that he didn’t give up on me. I wouldn’t be here without him,” he says.
In the moments before the event, Matossian eavesdrops on Games Director Dave Castro’s pep talk with the athletes before Murph, a Hero workout named for Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
“This workout is something special. It’s bigger than this weekend.”
Matossian is also there as athletes cross the finish line in varying degrees of distress, seeking water and shade.
“I’ve never felt so bad in my life,” Sara Sigmundsdottir says once she’s able to speak.

Sam Briggs helping other athletes remove their vest at the completion of Murph tells you everything you need to know about Sam Briggs.

Thanks for uploading this awesome old content. Back then it was the athletes vs. the games itself!

I'll never get over the finish line carnage and the way Briggs and Gudmundsson both looked like they had just gone for a little jog
