of 9 years ago and with our injury was behind her to be hoping it's not the last time she does so. as a reminder of the top story we're following for you. extreme high temperatures are affecting regions around the world. heat alerts have been issued from japan to the us and europe, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees celsius or over a 100 degrees fahrenheit. forecasters say 8 now their heat wave is due in southern europe in the coming days. that you need to update us as our i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for watching the stay up to date. don't miss our highlights. the dw program online d, w dot com highlights you become a criminal pre clinic. already

told me about sugars paralyzed between your societies, computers and governments that go crazy for your data. let me explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also watch it. now the, what else does this mean to watch the cross phase more?

i saves you like to swell. yeah, i feel trudy myself. i was with you. i can where i was. i one that's where i show, show my muscles and i know it would be fine to get the person. i can be myself and feel good if this is the story of mariana mesa. she's among the fittest women in the world. 10 names to become a world champion of cross fit with mexico's national team. ready the number of money and i'm just asking my name is money enemies. um. so i'm 25 years old and i have been a high performance cross fit athlete for 9 years. the lucky crossfit is a disappear and that brings to get the money of that brown. she's of training such as domestics, weightlifting, athletics, swimming and being as a high performance level in any discipline is not for everyone. i can't tell you that being a high performance athlete is easy every day because it definitely isn't. there

were days where you can't even get top because your body huts will because you didn't have a good word count the day before. okay, and that's when your head comes in and you have to be strong, you have to be resilience, and you have to face everything you're going through to continue on the path on the black. one thing, why is coming in their final training session? mariana entered 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 like we wanted. we dream about taylor, and every day we put in a little more efforts to achieve our goal rep presenting 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,

a belief that full mexicans could compete with athletes equal to go back to the not 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 will say, what the mental aspect is vital. this is something that many athletes neglect and perhaps then give us 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 sometimes, and meanwhile not train my mind to know sam, so no way out and i get them in 50 and what, okay, let me see a name is ella is different when i just don't sit down. so i got comments like you're guessing too big or you know, to mostly, oh guys don't like muscular goals for yourself. i got to a point where i didn't want to show how my body was changing because i see it the criticism. even though, when you look to them today, it no longer hurt or effects me. whoever such comments come from,

as long as i'm fine and i accept myself, that's enough. and i use davion means as your message signal, because if we can make people the, mariana prostate is also a journey of self discovery, a path to self acceptance. one, she openly lays bare with us in a few minutes. i'm going to say repeat, i'm working closely with the psychologist, burying prejudice and criticism. if you don't know how to deal with them, can be more of a strain then carrying a $300.00 pound fall 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 except that sometimes we need help of devils. i us mariana,

adjustment to earn money with our sports. it's still her life. and now she hopes to be a world champion the it's the day the world championships begin, competition spanning over 3 days on each of them. mariana and your team will complete 2 workouts, closing different physical challenges. the team is confident that there is no margin for error in the pursuit of podium, finishes. total concentration is required. there can be no, we link and the group the male members of the group begin. they must complete a range of exercises within 30 minutes. now as the women's work file, the climbing role 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 for us to finish, but a strong team performance sees 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 breathing a little bit, concentrating and executing the last task perfectly. the mexicans made a strong start to the competition that mariana and carlos gymnastic 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,

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 what happened today makes us feel a little comma more confident for tomorrow, which we know will be a big challenge. positioning ourselves in a good place gives us peace of mind. the mood after day one is positive. friendship and trust and respect. these are the pillars of marianas, cross, fit family. they called in throwing cross fit to entered my life for the very unstable stage was i don't know 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, not a good handle as the years went by, i became more involved in cross fits symptoms competing with me and obviously my body began to change. we looked on them. i think what else be complete, my mentality began to change and that came a points when once i did with the cost of it has an impact on the rest of my life. okay. look yeah, yeah. then throw in for us. so i knew that if i had cross fit, nothing could break me. yeah. me so not kidding. what else? feed savvy. ask it not. i'm it will. yeah. on the 2nd day of competition begins and the athletes must swim in pairs until they cover a distance of 250 meters. then run as it stands for 3.2 kilometers. after and 9

years of training, mariana feels that he's in the water and just paired up with ricardo. but soon the other teens begin to get out of the water as carla and chris john are still in the pool. when they finally finish, they rushed towards the athletics track where the other teams have already gone to healthy lead. or once again, it's the norwegian team that leads the way after a photo finish. mariana and your teammates take 4th place in this warehouse. so instead of waiting for sound 8 seconds behind said, it was very close, even though we didn't stop very well. we closed it out as well as we could unfinished in a time. we still considered good. but what it was 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 mornings results and that means boosting morale. their lunch break features some dancing in

their apartments. a lighthearted warm up before some heavy lifting the the mexican team enters with the aim of improving their score and aided by a strong display for mariana. they managed to catch up to the competition to get the video game. i knew this, 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 in could a total by 6 wraps. it's a good school. one is called 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 warm

a sack that weighs 365 pounds. 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 is a sense of solidarity among the teams competing against each other. the team is lost. all the teams that finish the fold them of that just support that speaks to it being a good community. this is the at the final work out as teens by 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. despite mariana is

last ditch effort to close the final work out with a better time, the locals missed the marks. they finish the bottom of this work out in 5th place. now they must await the official scores. the fit time has cost the cost to make that takes 3rd place and mexico. our 2nd, it was a long road to prepare for the competition. as mariana is also on a personal journey to heal the wounds of the past and be a better athlete, day by day. what of course, my body is a temple. the thing the story is how i can do what i do every day. and i'm very proud of who i am and is my in every muscle i have every school or i have represents who i am. and i know that she, if i take care of myself and love myself, i can pull special and to others that
