Katrin Davidsdottir | The Hold (Short Documentary)

Katrín Davíðsdóttir, like many, had a tough year. Due to the pandemic she hadn’t been home to Iceland to see her family for a year and she had to pull out from Dubai due to a back injury which prevented her from regular training.
None of the athletes knew what was in store for the 2020 CrossFit Games or if they were even going to happen. Once Katrín heard there would be a Games, although it would look different than years past, she was ready to take them on head first.
During the first stage of the CrossFit Games, she knew she needed to secure a top 5 spot to make it to the second stage in Aromas, CA at the ranch. After Day 1, no one was sure if it could happen. She came back on Day 2 and won back to back events. The standout event being Event 7, The Handstand Hold. This is the story of her massive win and how it helped bring her to Stage 2 in Aromas eventually earning 2nd place at the CrossFit Games.

Katrin embodies what sport is all about and she earns everything that comes her way...... 👏👏👏

[@ScottLRoyal]

What an amazing performance not only in this event, but all season. With the injury earlier this year. Katrin just rewrote the book on tenacious dedication.

[@StevenRayGarcia]

I’ve learned to be a big fan of Katrin’s because of her spirit and attitude first, as an athlete second. Her attitude inspires more then her athletic ability. Kudos to her and Ben. Always Chasing and Promoting Excellence.

[@ajakennedy6072]

Facts! I love her ability to maintain her mindfulness even as she performs at a high level. I agree--Crossfitter or no, her attitude and outlook are what's most admirable.

[@jessemontagnino]

She appears to be an amazing person. A great ambassador for the sport.

[@charleslewing5286]

She is an incredible athlete. Love watching her compete.

[@user-sh6ls2oq7t]

It's incredible. Katrin is super!

[@selfpropelled8916]

I am willing to bet she felt every bit of 2 minutes and 54 seconds in that hand stand. If you are looking for someone that has learned how to push beyond their limits. Katrin certainly fits into that category. She does this with an amazing self awareness of where she is and how much more she needs go.

[@courtneyholgate1896]

I'm an Aussie and I absolutely love Tia-Clair but Katrin is my fav Cross-Fit champ. She's awsome :)

[@zraybroske2416]

A REALLY short documentary.

[@ChucksterGram]

Can't weight to see the Kat, Tory, and Barnhardt show on a regular basis.

[@peterliden6313]

Soo strong

[@lucianabastos3036]

She's a giant

[@barbaracollins5605]

My nephew Ben is her trainer.

[@jarodpretender184]

Katrin Looks so Strong and she is a LADY

[@Dinkslayer681]

an entire "documentary" on a handstand hold. How engaging.

[@danielmcnulty8736]

Don't be a tool. Has little to do with a hand stand, and it's only 4 minutes long. Hard to call it an "entire documentary." Has everything to do with attitude, approach, work ethic, and effort level.

[@williamhufnagel8790]

She reminds me of a viking.. if be concerned if I was on a battlefield and I saw her walking toward me... It's either be in love or praying for a quick death..

[@jrparker4804]

Love Katrin, she’s a total beast and an amazing athlete. But handstand anything is the dumbest part of CrossFit and has nothing to do with fitness. Might as well have a breath holding competition.

[@casualarrogance]

You know what the 10 physical skills importanti for fitness are?

[@sdqsdq6274]

? the chinese can do it longer , and juggle , lol

[@Yellow_Afryca]

I wonder if Ben is still married

[@DemocratsareagentsofSATAN]

LMAO - as a former personal trainer....all I think is...."I would be useless around Katrin...." I've seen beautiful women before...but Katrin........ my goodness...........

[@philandrepont8149]

This sucks. So does CrossFit

[@user-uo9kz2pn4z]

Why?

[@zraybroske2416]

It’s amazing what some steroids can do!!

[@casualarrogance]

Steroids for an handstand hold? 😂 you are clueless.

[@zraybroske2416]

Weird. Thought this was rock climbing (a real sport).

[@MrPicky]

I am sure that Katrín would do great in rock climbing as well.

[@longshlongsilver293]

Nobody can touch this Icelandic athlete!!! Except her coach.....and maybe her uncle.

[@tinodellpene330]

I'm Alone 😍😥

[@jadidahmed8411]

Don't be.
