Sara Sigmundsdóttir - Perseverance

[bmsreligion]

sorry if this has been posted already, I had a quick look and couldn't find anything.

I think this is a great series on Sara, really worth watching! The video editing and quality is amazing, good work from FITAID, they also don't over-do the product placement it just feels authentic. There are a lot of scenic shots but whats not to like, its Iceland!

Such a quality series so far, 5 parts and I hope there are more to come. Linking them all below with a little description.

Part 1 - Shoulder injury and getting back into training

Part 2 - What her average day looks like, Sara pancakes, napping and second week back into training

Part 3 - Motivational workout intro and nutrition talk (In-N-Out Burger)

Part 4 - Goals, younger life and choosing CrossFit

Part 5 - Episode starts at 2:48 (massive scenic intro), getting her first muscle up, top 5 TV shows

@bmsreligion The cinematography alone is worth it. Those Icelandic landscapes are insane.

@bmsreligion She's becoming my personal favorite after 18.5. I hope she figures out her mental game. I do love seeing her being happy at Mayhem and wish she stayed there even if the results aren't there yet.

@justanotherguy99 Ben and Jerry ice cream!

@bmsreligion I watched the five episodes and they are interesting. The intro could be shorter from 2 to 5 but if you want to know a bit more about this athlete, you should watch these episodes

 

[questionall]

@bmsreligion Thank you. I'm excited to watch this. I love her personality and Iceland is my top bucket list place to see.

@bmsreligion Im confused. When was this filmed?
After watching the Crossfit Mayhem ‘A day in the Life’ with Sara, she was living in America injury free and i think it was after the 2017 games. Correct me if i am wrong.
But this documentary is her in Iceland again??

 

[bmsreligion]

@niclas0108 Yeah, it looks like she has moved back to Iceland again. Shes is in the North Europe region this year - https://games.crossfit.com/athlete/8859 so this would have been filmed recently just before the open

 

[niclas0108]

@bmsreligion Ohh great, thanks for the clarification!! Loving the mini documentary, thanks for letting us know man!!

 

[malgosia63]

@niclas0108 It was posted August 1 so definitely shot before the open

 

[bethanykrebs]

@niclas0108 I believe she left Tennessee soon after the 2017 games. The injury was residual and really fired up in the fall also after the 2017 games.

 

[niclas0108]

@bethanykrebs Yeah thats what i think now. Gutted because it has ripped into her training, and maybe ability!!
Still my fave, big hopes for her this year i believe

 

[bethanykrebs]

@niclas0108 My fav too! She was cleared to train only a few months before the open but of course she still killed it

 

[niclas0108]

@bethanykrebs There is only one dottir for me, Sigmundsdottir!!!
She is incredible like you say

 

[carlssonjeseth]

@niclas0108 Was the only reason she went back to Iceland her injury? I am curious about the successive moves. Also since we are talking about CrossFit Mayhem, is Fraser still coached by Bergeron?

 

[niclas0108]

@carlssonjeseth She seemed so happy in America, i’m curious about the move too!!
And not sure, in his documentary, he seems to be programming himself, and i think he has moved recently too so that may have changed things!!

 

[carlssonjeseth]

@niclas0108 It is funny how we follow these athletes and take an interest in their life! Eh it seems like something must have went down since Ben never references him anymore in anything, and keep in mind Mat trained in Vermont when Ben was in CFNE.

 

[niclas0108]

@carlssonjeseth Yeah, i feel like Ben would reference Mat more if they were still contact due to Mat, simply being, Mat, the fittest on earth...
