look at a most like we wanted. we dream about taylor, and every day we put in a little more efforts to achieve our goal, representing mexico at the highest level. we were annoying having finished full smell ste. yeah. last time we went with very low expectations. i think what we lacked was self belief for the belief that full mexicans could compete with athletes equal to well, best to the best with us with the will be quite a simple mariana sport demands total, control, extreme discipline. all the while mind and body must be completely insane. i look at what the mental aspect is vital. this is something that many athletes neglect and perhaps then give as much weight to it. but i talked to my coach and told him, it doesn't make sense to me to train my body every day. so hauled the ship hunt

a few minutes i'm going to sarah pain. and i'm, i'm working closely with the psychologist bearing prejudice and criticism. if you don't know how to deal with them, can be more of a strain then carrying a 300 pound ball bell. we will have problems. we will go through things, some of us in silence. but i think we should work on it, except that sometimes we're not well and accept that sometimes we need help us mariana justin to earn money with our sports. it steals her life, and now she hopes to be a world champion, the . it's the day the world championships begin competition and spanning over 3 days on each of them. mariana and your 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, we 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. fire the climbing roof 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 hands and walk, but quickly hands over to carla who finishes faster than expected the . the norwegians were 1st to finish, but a strong team performance seized. the mexicans take seconds, clicks. i made an error in the home spend, who was, i think we managed it. it was just a matter of brief, in a little bit,

concentrating and executing the last task perfectly. the mexicans made a strong start to the competition that mariana and carlos gymnastics. skills are the ace up their teams. sleep. in this work out, they decide to have the mid competes and 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 out by going head to head with the other teams man, the marietta and carla don't slow down. they go toe to toe with the compositions. big favorite norway, the so

what happened today makes us feel a little comma more confident for tomorrow, which we know it will be a big challenge. positioning ourselves in a good place gives us peace of mind. the mood after day one is positive, friendship trust and respect. these are the pillars of marianas, cross, fit family, a close to cross fit ended my life for the very unstable stage was when i was a teenager, i had eating disorders, problems at school, problems at home. they were preconceived notions. i had in the past which gave me the wrong idea or about certain things, simply not a good handle as the years went by, i became more involved in cross fit symptoms competing one way and obviously my body began to change. we look around them, i think what else feed complete my mind, tennessee began to change and that came a points when once i did with thing, costs fits has an impact on the rest of my life. so good look yes. yeah. then throw
