[@whiteribbonman1]

Ragnheidur I came to watch you prepare and as usual the comments section has MANY self-proclaimed experts in what you should do. 😆

[@williamjamesrapp7356]

I was born 30 years too early -- I am a former College swimmer -- US Marine - I used to do TRIATHLONS back in my day and competed in INDOOR ROWING but there were no CROSSFIT games -- I used to lift a lot and was a cardio freak -- People used to think I was just nuts. Now 54 and still do things but I need a total HIP replacement so my running days are over :( Wish CROSSFIT was around in my day this would have been a great challenge.

[@camilleaigail902]

Always sad when the episode ends! I could watch it for an hour! Great way of training for the Games.

[@karolinamackiewicz514]

Great work! Looking forward to more videos and the Games, of course! :)

[@sebtramp123]

Awesome series!

[@bweb6]

Good luck, Sara! I'll be rooting for ya at the games.

[@DrPhillgood87]

I want to say this is your year Sara, but honestly that doesn’t matter. What matters is you show up and leave it all out there like you did on the final event. Trust the process and your team. I’ve always loved you as an athlete, but right now I love the environment you’re in. It’s healthy and you seem happy. Ride that wave Ragnheidur!

[@theirishviking9928]

A beast of a woman. The ultimate shield maiden. Give them no quarter Sara!!

[@sunseasnatches8462]

Glad someone is in her corner that she seems to be focused with! She enjoyed herself last year but now she’s focused and enjoying life

[@edithsantiagomonroy1852]

Sara you are awesome. You are the inspiration of many women.

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

Sara you are awesome! Good luck at the Games.

[@steveprice5417]

First comment ever..... Bike position can be tweaked a little to produce massive gains. Riding on the drops will create a more aerodynamic position which will increase speed or reduce output required for same speed. Good luck Sara.

[@PerBarholm]

good comment steve, was just going to type this :)

[@Reisito305]

Where is this? Love the landscape

[@roberthernandez3099]

Great series. Good luck at the games Sara. I see a podium in your future.

[@REleuteri1]

Good plan. Maybe make her wear the Reebok shoes. Get used to that also since she doesn’t have a choice at the games.

[@irenerossi7982]

anyone know the song which is playing on the last minute of this wonderful video?

[@Hamerlane]

First. Wow. It could be Sara's year.

[@floriannoak2735]

Never be the first on the bike until the very end.

[@billybunter55]

She is such an incredible athlete

[@TheAnthony8310]

intro song?

[@Stanzybear]

Does anybody know the style of these green Nike pants she is wearing?

[@alexxreyess10]

Does anyone know the brand of the watches they are wearing?

[@mavenleland27]

Nice job. Hope she will practise her hand stand walk too bcause thats a big hole in her game and that showed in the regionals.

[@UtopianChild11]

What is the song with the snare drums it's so cool!!!!! I need it on my playlist

[@KubajxPlays]

Here you go www.audionetwork.com/browse/m/track/tearing-it-up_155061

[@williamjamesrapp7356]

WHAT COUNTRY was gthis filmed in -- Looks very much like my part of the USA

[@eholcroft1]

What shoes are they?

[@blablabls12345]

sara es la mejor ,,,

[@kyleorange9473]

I want Sara to win the games this year at least on the podium

[@callsignsimilton3646]

I honestly hope she crushes it and takes 1st or 2nd for podium

[@rskirmants]

Hey #Sara, I was noticing that when You run, the foot is almost parallel to ground like running with whole foot. Therefore Your upper body is almost straight, this goes to Your knees on long term. It's my opinion, I'm retired 8 year track and field competitor. You should slightly bend forward with Your chest therefore legs will be more straight and You will run with 50% of Your feet. This should increase Your speed even when You run slow.

[@Bumzi]

Rolands Skirmants yeah I also noticed, she seemed very heavy while running. With a little bit of running mechanics her running efficiency will dramatically improve.

[@tiagomalhao]

I am far from being a specialist but I have also noticed that something looked weird

[@supercarsofgotham8255]

I am no experts but noticed this. Very cool advices

[@clementl9505]

Keep it up Sara!! Does anyone know the music at the end? (around 8:00)

[@Beyoutiful07]

Clément LAURENT it's called recognition, you can find it on audio network website

[@clementl9505]

Beyoutiful07 thank you!! :)

[@clementl9505]

dvelly02 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfRpIicaKqBsNU There it is, if you type "recognition" in KZbin it's the first one

[@Rikkes06]

Lead by example, i like that way 💪🏻

[@christiandavis3091]

What's the song at the end?!

[@UtopianChild11]

Christian Davis yeah! They always have great music on her vids! One I like from an old one is Gave to Me

[@giwookoh5381]

Song 00:00??

[@BringTheRain61]

What’s the song that’s starts at 3 mins?

[@KubajxPlays]

Thank me later, www.audionetwork.com/browse/m/track/tearing-it-up_155061

Sara can do anything if you give her a time cap

[@ramaraksha01]

Sara got cheated of the title back in 2015 - she was leading the pack going on to the final day & then they threw a wrench - they had a peg board event which no one had seen before - it was a climbing event - harder on the women - less upper body strength etc - anyway you have all seen athletes miss a step or a round and they have to go all the way back? Well, not this event, apparently one can skip doing an event - honest! While Sara kept hacking away at the peg board as most of the competitors were doing, Kristin decided she had enough, gave up and moved on to the next 3 events - which she flew thru, but of course, she had saved energy By the time Sara gave up and started on the next 3 events she was dead tired and they declared Kristin the winner! The whole thing was a mess - I am amazed that none of the competitors complained or were they afraid to? How can one simply skip an event? If the event is too hard - set a time limit which applies to all But the way they did it, the people who gave up actually got an advantage over the competitors who did not give up! I complained on their site - "We take these things seriously, we check everything etc etc" but they never got back to me Go back and check the video from 2015 you will see what I mean

[@Elitekiller72]

I thought she was training Mayhem with Rich and the gang in Cookeville ??

[@obscureclouds8392]

She is the perfect woman.

[@greenoctober2545]

It her mind ...i think she need to believe in her self more

[@JanKenk]

she did have a fractured rib at the games last year too

[@Lexi187]

I agree! she is awesome just need to believe its true

[@greenoctober2545]

Jan Kenk i know ..but i think it more psychology then anything

[@greenoctober2545]

Lexi187 i know i love her she stick out more then the other girls

[@themarch1544]

i couldnt agree more. What Tia, Kara and Katrin have ahead of her, is their self esteem. Katrin is almost obnoxiously confident :D but i love Sarah the most and I hope that she will make it her best season!

[@patrickriley9452]

damn girl your beautiful

[@benshaputis929]

Do Crossfit athletes taper for the games?

[@KNuckleZification]

Yes. Follow Kara Saunders(Webb). She explains and demonstrates her way of tapering off.

[@foufounator]

7'44' On Sara's right, guy's back will break once... :-(

[@ShadowMosses]

My future wife 😍

[@liamkevincunningham4360]

I'm going to be so heartbroken is she fails a drug test

[@tiagomalhao]

I think that she can improve her running form

[@deanrobinson2459]

english subs for an englishman speaking english.

[@ukonwstratagem]

knee pain

[@DrPhillgood87]

When do you “force” her to start training in Reebok shoes?

[@indyb2904]

Can you explain?

[@DrPhillgood87]

Indy Brideson at the games the athletes are only allowed to wear Reebok gear. She’s a Nike athlete so that’s what she normally trains in... to my knowledge

[@karolinamackiewicz514]

So maybe the sponsor contracts don't allow her to run in reebok outside the Games?

[@DrPhillgood87]

Karolina Mackiewicz I’m asking from a training stand point when does it make sense to train in the shoes you’ll compete in? She’s done it for years so maybe at this point it doesn’t matter. That’s really what I’m trying to ask. 😂 I don’t have the answers I want them.

[@karolinamackiewicz514]

I totally understand your point of view. I am sure they, as experienced coaches and athlete, have thought about it already as well ;) This is why I started to think that one reason might be sponsor contract. The other reason might be that the shoes make no difference for Sara. I don't see them responding under the posts, so you might need to wait or just speculate ;)

[@bennythebear0711]

It’s not sar-rer it’s ser-ra

[@deanrobinson2459]

unless you're from up north.

[@omg_its_espo75]

third lol

[@DAllan-lz3lg]

Cyclocross is a nonsense event in Crossfit.

[@lawnman77]

The assault course last year was rubbish! Yet its in again this year :-(

[@kzelmer]

That awkward way of running...

[@Luciana-Superluci-Marchi]

She changes coaches too many times, looks like she's not so focused like Annie or Katrin.

[@karolinamackiewicz514]

Maybe she didn't find the right one yet? Or only now? She also moved from Iceland to US and back to Iceland. We don't know what was exactly the reason but great she is back in Europe, have a great team of coaches and start from the scratch (like she said, she started with those guys from zero, every move from the beginning) and it seems she is enjoying it. Hopefully, this will work out at the Games.
