a days where you can't even get up because your body hurts. or because you didn't have a good workout the day before, or for k as one of the with the one that's when your head comes in and you have to be strong, fuller, because you have to be resilient. you have to face every thing you're going through to continue on the path family by appointing while coming up in their final training session. marianna and her team pushed themselves to the limit one last time the world championships are being hosted by their home country, mexico. and they've set their sights on victory. look at a most also we want it. we dream about hillary, and every day we put in a little more effort to achieve our goal, representing mexico at the highest level. i thought we were annoyed at having finished 4th last year, so i was to let you buffalo to sudden for last time we went with very low expectations last week. i think what we lacked was self belief for

a belief that full mexicans could compete with athletes equal to or better than others. let us, he wildly hold of him to mariana, sport demand, total control, extreme discipline. all the while mind embody, must be completely insane by yeah, i will get if what the mental aspect is vital. and this is something that many athletes neglect was and perhaps don't give as much weight to work done yet. but i talked to my coach and told him, it doesn't make sense for me to train my body every day so hard that it hurts sometimes. and meanwhile, not train my mind. i wouldn't say now standstill. no, when i go, i'm in it like what? okay. i see an in bizarre laugh is different when i started out i got comments like you're getting too big or you're too mosley or guys don't like muscular girls for yourself. i got to a point where i didn't want to show how my body was changing because i feared the criticism yandell. when you look through them to day,

it no longer hurts or affects me. whoever such comments come from lately as long as i'm fine and i accept to myself, that's enough. if you are you there? yes. with as young as had thicker. lucas as with, with mickey with i walked, i'm doing some really well for marianna. crossfit is also a journey of self discovery, a path to self acceptance. one, she openly lays bare on me, notably, and in a few minutes i'm going to therapy. i'm working closely with the psychologist godaddy bearing prejudice and criticism. if you don't know how to deal with them, it can be more of a strain than carrying a $300.00 pound ball bell. we all have problems. we all go through things with some of us in silence ski. but i think we should work on it, except that sometimes we're not well and accept that sometimes we need help them by

euro. marianna doesn't turn money with her sport. it's still her life. and now helps to be a world champion. her it's the day the world championships begin, competition spanning over 3 days on each of them. marianna enter team will complete 2 workouts, posing different physical challenges. the team is confident, but there is no margin for error. in the pursuit of podium, finishes, total concentration is required. there can be no weak link in the group. the male members of the group begin. they must complete a range of exercises within 30 minutes. now the women's turn for carla, the climbing rope is a real challenge,

so the team loses vital seconds as the arrivals move ahead of them in the competition. next, mariana has some difficulty during the hand stand walk, but quickly hands over to carla who finishes faster than expected. the norwegians were 1st to finish, but a strong team performance seized. the mexicans take 2nd place. i made an error in the ham stand walk, but i think we managed it. it was just a matter of breathing a little bit, concentrating and executing the last task perfectly. i found out that the mexicans made a strong started the competition. but marianna and carlos gymnastic skills are the ace up there, team sleeve. in this work out they decide to have the men compete in the 1st phase . the other teams have had their women start out. once they're done,

it's time for mexico's women to finish things up by going head to head with the other teams man. oh, marianna and carla don't slow down. they go toe to toe with the competition's big favorite norway. not happy that you really know what happened today. makes us feel a little calmer, more confident for tomorrow, which we know will be a bigger challenge. miguel positioning ourselves in a good place, gives us peace of mind. my can i get the mood after day one is partly friendship trust and respect. these are the pillars of marianas, crossfit, family, a cough in throwing up crossfit entered my life at

a very unstable stage where they are now. it is when i was a teenager, i had eating disorders, problems at school, problems at home. there were preconceived notions. i had in the past which gave me the wrong idea about certain things simply not possible for me to handle as the years went by, i became more involved in cross fet sentence competing with me and obviously my body began to change. we invoke them. i think what else the competition, my mentality began to change and there came a point when what i did with him crossfit has an impact on the rest of my life. okay. look, yes. yeah. then, but all in good. so i knew that if i had cross fit, nothing could break me. ah, we saw nike in good us feed savvy. okay. now i'm apple. yeah. compact. the 2nd day of competition begins and the athletes must swim in pairs until they cover a distance of 250 meters, then run as a team for 3.2 kilometers. after 9 years of training,

marianna feels at ease in the water and is paired up with ricardo. but soon other teens begin to get out of the water as carla and christian are still in the pool. when they finally finished, they rushed towards the outlet extract where the other teams have already garnered a healthy lead. once again, it's the norwegian team that leads the way after a photo finish. marianna and your teammates take 4th place in this work out. the one was that rattle, we're in full. so 8 seconds behind side, amazon. it was very close even though we didn't stop very well. we closed it out as well as we could and finished in a time. we still considered goodness, but act by what after the endurance test, the teams prepare for the 2nd work out of the day where their strength will be put to the test. the home team must improve on the morning's results and that means

boosting morale. their lunch break features some dancing in their apartment, a light hearted warm up before some heavy lifting. ah, the mexican team enters with the aim of improving their score and aided by a strong display for marianna. they managed to catch up to the competition to get that back. if i knew that i had to do my best to support my team, we improved on our results of this webcast in comparison to our previous efforts as a competition incorporated. oh, by 6 raps. what is a good school for when a squad, the final day of the competition has arrived. and now strategy and communication will be the key quality is required. between the 4 of them they must

perform a series of exercises with the so called worm. a sack that weighs 365 downs. if that wasn't difficult enough, one member must leave to perform another set of exercises as an individual, leaving the other 3 to carry the worm alone. once again, the norwegians are 1st to finish, but this time there's a sense of solidarity among the teams competing against each other. a team is last old, the teams that finish before them as out to support that speaks to it being a good community with that. this is yet the final work out as teams vi for a podium place, one last push from every squad member. each mistake is magnified. the norwegian flag comes into view with them, a title defense is on the card swell. mexico are falling short to despite marianas

. last ditch effort to close the final work out with a better time, the locals missed the mark. they finished bottom of this work out in 5th place. now they must await the official scores. ah, the time has come, costa rica takes 3rd place. ah, and mexico, our 2nd it was a long road to prepare for the competition as marianna is also on a personal journey to heal the wounds of the past and be a better athlete, day by day. look what a boy. oh my body is a temple. thanks to me as i can do what i do every day. i'm very proud of who i am . it is my young. every muscle i have, every scar i have represents who i am. and i know that if i take care of myself and love myself, i can pass that on to others. raxon like is it?
