10
00:00:23.684 --> 00:00:25.618
It doesn't really matter
what I'm doing.

11
00:00:25.653 --> 00:00:27.290
I want to win.

12
00:00:27.325 --> 00:00:29.358
So right next to me
is a girl from the U.S.

13
00:00:29.393 --> 00:00:33.725
She's actually somebody
I compete with quite often.

14
00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:37.333
She moved to my hometown and
she has the same coach as me.

15
00:00:37.368 --> 00:00:40.171
So we're very competitive
against each other.

16
00:00:40.206 --> 00:00:42.503
I kind of know her
strengths and weaknesses.

17

My name is Jordan Adcock,

19
00:00:47.873 --> 00:00:50.082
So Alex and I kind of have
a standing rivalry.

20
00:00:50.117 --> 00:00:51.787
We're kind of frenemies.
We're friends but

21
00:00:51.811 --> 00:00:54.317
kind of enemies in a way because
we're both so competitive

22
00:00:54.352 --> 00:00:56.220
and we always kind of
bounce back and forth

23
00:00:56.255 --> 00:00:57.782
between who's winning events.

24
00:00:57.817 --> 00:01:01.093
- Two, one.
- Run! Run! Run!

25
00:01:01.128 --> 00:01:02.259
And it is...

26
00:01:02.294 --> 00:01:04.327
The final, final set.

27
00:01:04.362 --> 00:01:07.297
Final five reps
from both and it is...

28
00:01:07.332 --> 00:01:10.366
We don't like high-five
before the events.

29
00:01:10.401 --> 00:01:13.765
Maybe after,
depending on who wins or.

30

Finish line is just up here,
let's go.

358
00:17:32.415 --> 00:17:33.579
Come on!

359
00:17:33.614 --> 00:17:38.749
♪

360
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.293
Come on! Come on!

361
00:17:44.328 --> 00:17:47.263
Norway was the first team
to cross the finish line.

362
00:17:47.298 --> 00:17:50.200
Followed closely
by the USA and Canada

363
00:17:50.235 --> 00:17:53.269
with Sweden taking
fifth place behind Germany.

364
00:17:57.473 --> 00:17:59.605
- How you doing?
- Good.

365
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.442
I swear, if we could have
got even on that...

366
00:18:01.477 --> 00:18:04.610
That big hill we would have won.

367
00:18:04.645 --> 00:18:06.150
Good start.

368
00:18:06.185 --> 00:18:07.514
Each of our Test One winners

369
00:18:07.549 --> 00:18:10.385
receives an award
for their victory

370
00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:14.290
as well as their first
100 points on the leader board.

371
00:18:14.325 --> 00:18:15.852
Every athlete earned points

372
00:18:15.887 --> 00:18:18.459
but the highest placing athletes
earn the most

373
00:18:18.494 --> 00:18:21.891
with the lowest placing athletes
earning the least.

374
00:18:21.926 --> 00:18:24.135
I'm not 100 percent sure
how the scoring is done.

375
00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:26.500
I just know that the first
person gets first place

376
00:18:26.535 --> 00:18:29.272
and then as the...

377
00:18:29.307 --> 00:18:31.340
Not first person get 100 points,
first person...

378
00:18:31.375 --> 00:18:33.672
Oh, is that what I said?

379
00:18:33.707 --> 00:18:35.410
First place gets...

380
00:18:35.445 --> 00:18:39.315
- First person gets first place.
- Okay, let's back this up.

381
00:18:39.350 --> 00:18:41.185
As it goes down
they get less and less points

382
00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:42.626
and the person
with the most points

383
00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:44.815
at the end of the weekend
is the winner.

384
00:18:44.850 --> 00:18:47.257
If you finish first you get
100 points and so on and so on.

385
00:18:47.292 --> 00:18:49.688
Each event works on
a 100 point system.

386
00:18:49.723 --> 00:18:51.492
With her win in Test One,

387
00:18:51.527 --> 00:18:54.462
Alex Parker declared herself
a top competitor

388
00:18:54.497 --> 00:18:56.497
and would have
to defend that position

389
00:18:56.532 --> 00:18:58.202
throughout the weekend to come.

390
00:18:58.237 --> 00:19:02.470
I competed in fitness
for about seven years now.

391
00:19:02.505 --> 00:19:03.735
At a pretty high level.

392
00:19:03.770 --> 00:19:05.440
I got into it
right after university

393
00:19:05.475 --> 00:19:07.706
and fell in love
with it instantly

394
00:19:07.741 --> 00:19:12.216
and have been doing it...
I've been doing it ever since.

395
00:19:12.251 --> 00:19:14.251
Her rival, Jordan Adcock,

396
00:19:14.286 --> 00:19:17.287
was also a capable athlete
who had earned her place

397
00:19:17.322 --> 00:19:18.816
at the World Championships.

398
00:19:18.851 --> 00:19:21.786
I started towards
the end of 2012

399
00:19:21.821 --> 00:19:23.733
and kind of as soon as
I started I knew I wanted

400
00:19:23.757 --> 00:19:26.395
to take the competitive track,
I saw what people

401
00:19:26.430 --> 00:19:28.232
were doing competing
and it was something

402
00:19:28.267 --> 00:19:30.696
that I wanted to strive towards
so since the beginning

403
00:19:30.731 --> 00:19:33.963
that's kind of been the track
that I've tried to stay on.

404
00:19:33.998 --> 00:19:36.603
Next up, is the Strength Test.

405
00:19:36.638 --> 00:19:38.374
This test
is the complete opposite

406
00:19:38.409 --> 00:19:40.277
of the Endurance Test.

407
00:19:40.312 --> 00:19:42.642
Rather than a long,
grueling effort

408
00:19:42.677 --> 00:19:45.216
this is short
and fast and heavy.

409
00:19:45.251 --> 00:19:47.581
Inside of our tests there are
some

410
00:19:47.616 --> 00:19:50.584
deeper characteristics
of each test.

411
00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:53.719
How strength
is expressed inside of our test

412
00:19:53.754 --> 00:19:55.325
is slightly different.

413
00:19:55.360 --> 00:19:56.656
On a continuum of strength

414
00:19:56.691 --> 00:19:59.296
there's multiple different kinds
of strength

415
00:19:59.331 --> 00:20:03.234
and we mainly test
what's called strength speed.

416
00:20:03.269 --> 00:20:05.896
And that is,
not the highest loads absolutely

417
00:20:05.931 --> 00:20:07.535
or the highest intensity.

418
00:20:07.570 --> 00:20:09.240
It's close to that.

419
00:20:09.275 --> 00:20:11.869
But we love strength speed
as a physical test

420
00:20:11.904 --> 00:20:13.838
because you need a big base
of absolute strength

421
00:20:13.873 --> 00:20:17.347
to express it and it results
in you being really good

422
00:20:17.382 --> 00:20:19.679
at coordination and timing.

423
00:20:19.714 --> 00:20:22.715
Load moved
through a range of motion.

424
00:20:22.750 --> 00:20:24.783
For the Individual
Men and Women,

425
00:20:24.818 --> 00:20:27.819
Test Two was
an overhead squat ladder.

426
00:20:27.854 --> 00:20:30.789
The test was performed
in three rounds

427
00:20:30.824 --> 00:20:32.494
with the winners of Round One

428
00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:34.595
proceeding to the second round.

429
00:20:34.630 --> 00:20:35.860
And the winner of Round Two

430
00:20:35.895 --> 00:20:38.335
proceeding to the final round.

431
00:20:38.370 --> 00:20:39.831
In order for their reps to count

432
00:20:39.866 --> 00:20:42.735
the athletes would have to squat
all the way below parallel

433
00:20:42.770 --> 00:20:46.442
and return the weight to a full
standing position at the top.

434
00:20:46.477 --> 00:20:49.874
In the Women's Test,
the barbells used in Round One

435

and lane three, Zach Sowder.

538
00:26:17.775 --> 00:26:20.072
The three American men
all made it to the final

539
00:26:20.107 --> 00:26:22.778
but the athletes to watch were
the men from Egypt and Greece.

00:26:22.813 --> 00:26:24.912
Go!

541
00:26:24.947 --> 00:26:30.214
So, three overhead squats at 95.

542
00:26:30.249 --> 00:26:33.789
Followed by two at 102.5.

543
00:26:33.824 --> 00:26:36.627
And one at 110.

Oh, this is close, it is Egypt.

545
00:26:39.863 --> 00:26:43.766

And fourth, Zach Sowder

548

110.

550

One overhead squat and final.

551
00:27:01.049 --> 00:27:03.214
Ioannis Papadopoulos
was the only athlete

552
00:27:03.249 --> 00:27:06.690
to represent his country
at the competition this weekend.

553
00:27:06.725 --> 00:27:09.385
He was also the strongest man
in the competition

554
00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:12.025
taking the top spot in Test Two.

555
00:27:12.060 --> 00:27:14.995
I'm known in the world
by my strengths and my lifts.

556
00:27:15.030 --> 00:27:18.834
I love barbell cycling,
heavy barbell cycling.

557
00:27:18.869 --> 00:27:23.333
For the Teams, the Strength
test was entirely different.

558
00:27:23.368 --> 00:27:26.941
The men were tasked
to find a five rep max snatch

559
00:27:26.976 --> 00:27:29.042
while the women performed
a three rep max

560
00:27:29.077 --> 00:27:30.813
shoulder to overhead.

561
00:27:30.848 --> 00:27:34.311
So the way the Teams work
is all different.

562
00:27:34.346 --> 00:27:36.852
Some are relay fashion.

563
00:27:36.887 --> 00:27:40.218

Making them the clear victors

675
00:33:32.209 --> 00:33:36.178
Fitness is a sport
for a couple different reasons.

676
00:33:36.213 --> 00:33:38.147
It's measureable.

677
00:33:38.182 --> 00:33:41.051
So if you can have
a number of humans

678
00:33:41.086 --> 00:33:44.054
perform certain tasks
and you have some of them

679
00:33:44.089 --> 00:33:46.584
that are better than others
and you have a measurement

680
00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:49.389
of that task you have a sport.

681
00:33:49.424 --> 00:33:52.557
I used to be a former gymnast
most of my life.

682
00:33:52.592 --> 00:33:55.065
I started out playing soccer and
running track

683
00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:58.233
and then later on I started
doing competitive cheerleading.

684
00:33:58.268 --> 00:34:00.796
I grew up playing rugby union
and surf life saving

685
00:34:00.831 --> 00:34:04.173
in Australia so I competed
at a national level.

686
00:34:04.208 --> 00:34:06.835
I was a competitive
Alpine ski racer.

687
00:34:06.870 --> 00:34:10.113
I was on the Canadian
National Ski Team.

688
00:34:10.148 --> 00:34:11.675
I also play golf and soccer.

689
00:34:11.710 --> 00:34:14.645
So these six different tests
are all things

690
00:34:14.680 --> 00:34:18.121
that people will do
in "fitness" at a gym

691
00:34:18.156 --> 00:34:21.124
but to my point,
our of a thousand people

692
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:22.686
that do that one test,

693
00:34:22.721 --> 00:34:25.524
they'll be some that
can do it better than others.

694
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:27.592
Hence, you now make it a sport.

695
00:34:27.627 --> 00:34:30.298
From the spotting perspective
itself,

696
00:34:30.333 --> 00:34:31.533
what we have done to the sport

697
00:34:31.565 --> 00:34:33.136
is add a little bit
of structure.

698
00:34:33.171 --> 00:34:35.666
So that started
with the rulebook

699
00:34:35.701 --> 00:34:37.437
and the movement standards

700
00:34:37.472 --> 00:34:41.705
up until we did it there
was never a book of movements.

701
00:34:41.740 --> 00:34:43.751
A written book of every single
movement in the sport

702
00:34:43.775 --> 00:34:47.546
and how it would be judged,
so we put that together

703
00:34:47.581 --> 00:34:49.581
and that's just on our website

704
00:34:49.616 --> 00:34:53.486
24/7 basically
and if you don't know

705
00:34:53.521 --> 00:34:54.597
how a movement
is gonna be judged

706
00:34:54.621 --> 00:34:56.324
you can go and look at it.

707
00:34:56.359 --> 00:34:59.492
If something is not
in there then you can know

708
00:34:59.527 --> 00:35:01.527
it won't show up
in competition that season.

709
00:35:01.562 --> 00:35:03.496
Why we created the tests,

710
00:35:03.531 --> 00:35:05.333
we organized it philosophically

711
00:35:05.368 --> 00:35:07.368
believing that the six tests...

712
00:35:07.403 --> 00:35:09.370
This is important,

713
00:35:09.405 --> 00:35:11.306
would allow the coach
and the athlete

714
00:35:11.341 --> 00:35:14.177
to not only know
what they need to prepare for

715
00:35:14.212 --> 00:35:17.510
but to build a lifetime
of sport opportunity

716
00:35:17.545 --> 00:35:20.777
because the six test are what
we're considering balance.

717
00:35:20.812 --> 00:35:23.747
Every competition
is different workouts

718
00:35:23.782 --> 00:35:27.454
but the workouts
have like a structure.

719
00:35:27.489 --> 00:35:30.754
The structure of the sport
is what separates it

720
00:35:30.789 --> 00:35:33.658
from some of the other
Functional Fitness sports

721
00:35:33.693 --> 00:35:35.374
- that are out there.
- You know going into

722
00:35:35.398 --> 00:35:37.530
a competition that every single
facet of fitness

723
00:35:37.565 --> 00:35:41.204
is gonna be tested because they
have standardized

724
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:43.239
like formats
for each different workout.

725
00:35:43.274 --> 00:35:46.671
We're essentially focusing
on making the philosophy

726
00:35:46.706 --> 00:35:50.378
of training be balanced.

727
00:35:50.413 --> 00:35:52.809
It allows coaches
and athletes to like grasp

728
00:35:52.844 --> 00:35:55.350
onto knowing
what they're training for.

729
00:35:55.385 --> 00:35:57.187
The idea is that
you're well rounded.

730
00:35:57.222 --> 00:35:59.486
You can pick up a heavy weight
when call upon

731
00:35:59.521 --> 00:36:01.950
or you can, you know,
run for miles if you need to.

732
00:36:01.985 --> 00:36:03.523
Obviously, a Functional Fitness

733
00:36:03.558 --> 00:36:04.964
they're testing
all the modalities.

734
00:36:04.988 --> 00:36:08.528
You're fit across all plains,
I mean,

735
00:36:08.563 --> 00:36:10.530
you can run, you can lift,

736
00:36:10.565 --> 00:36:12.466
you can do it under duress.

737
00:36:12.501 --> 00:36:14.831
It really encompasses
everything.

738
00:36:14.866 --> 00:36:18.274
So by having those
it creates some structure,

739
00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:20.672
it becomes a known thing

740
00:36:20.707 --> 00:36:23.279
and then a 15 year old
and a 22 year old

741
00:36:23.314 --> 00:36:25.644
and anyone can look at it
and go,

742
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.975
that kind of makes sense.

The Bodyweight test
used the athlete's own bodies

as the primary form
of resistance.

766

00:43:21.930 --> 00:43:26.295
It is lane six, Uldis Upenieks
from Latvia.

885
00:43:26.330 --> 00:43:30.398
Second place right now
is Khan Porter at lane four.

886
00:43:30.433 --> 00:43:33.643
Third place,
lane five Zach Sowder.

887
00:43:33.678 --> 00:43:35.678
Also done with
handstand pushups, Zach Watts,

888
00:43:35.713 --> 00:43:37.273
United States lane seven.

889
00:43:37.308 --> 00:43:42.113
Final reps for lane two,
Matt Dlugos.

890
00:43:42.148 --> 00:43:44.984
Final rope climb for lane five.

891
00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:46.788
Zach Sowder

892
00:43:46.823 --> 00:43:48.889
and done with rope climbs,
lane four,

893
00:43:48.924 --> 00:43:51.287
Khan Porter.

894
00:43:51.322 --> 00:43:53.861
Back on air squats
Uldis Upenieks,

895
00:43:53.896 --> 00:43:55.698
lane six, still in the lead.

896
00:43:55.733 --> 00:43:58.800
Followed by lane five,
Zach Sowder.

897
00:43:58.835 --> 00:44:03.871
Third place we have both Khan
Porter and Romain Fellonneau.

898
00:44:03.906 --> 00:44:06.104
Khan Porter a bit quicker.

899
00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:09.910
In the lead is lane six,
Uldis Upenieks.

900
00:44:09.945 --> 00:44:13.441
Done with 100 air squats.

901
00:44:13.476 --> 00:44:18.347
And back for the final round
of 15 handstand push ups.

902
00:44:18.382 --> 00:44:21.350
This time with
a 30 centimeter deficit.

903
00:44:21.385 --> 00:44:26.091
Only two more to go
for Uldis Upenieks at lane six.

904
00:44:26.126 --> 00:44:28.027
Going for great time.

905
00:44:28.062 --> 00:44:31.734
Time to beat
and he's going to take time.

906
00:44:31.769 --> 00:44:34.099
Taking the win and this Heat

907
00:44:34.134 --> 00:44:38.400
is Uldis Upenieks,
quickest in test one.

908
00:44:38.435 --> 00:44:43.009
And it is going to be
Romain Fellonneau from France

909
00:44:43.044 --> 00:44:45.473
taking second place
in this Heat.

910
00:44:45.508 --> 00:44:50.082
And taking third place,
lane five, Zack Sowder.

911
00:44:50.117 --> 00:44:52.117
United States.

912
00:44:52.152 --> 00:44:53.789
There you have it

913
00:44:53.824 --> 00:44:56.484
and finished for Khan Porter,
Australia

914
00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:58.926
taking fourth place
in this Heat.

915
00:44:58.961 --> 00:45:01.797
Uldis Upenieks remained
a top competitor

916
00:45:01.832 --> 00:45:04.767
throughout the weekend.

917
00:45:04.802 --> 00:45:06.835
Most of the larger athletes
finished low

918
00:45:06.870 --> 00:45:08.903
on the leader board
in this event.

919
00:45:08.938 --> 00:45:10.399
This was to be expected.

920
00:45:10.434 --> 00:45:12.434
Imagine putting
all that weight upside down

921
00:45:12.469 --> 00:45:14.337
onto your arms and shoulders

922
00:45:14.372 --> 00:45:18.209
than using those arms
to pull that weight up a rope.

923
00:45:18.244 --> 00:45:20.915
The boys did solid.

924
00:45:20.950 --> 00:45:25.117
Definitely, tall Matt
was in first place overnight.

925
00:45:25.152 --> 00:45:28.054
It was more of
a managed workout for him.

926
00:45:28.089 --> 00:45:30.518
A lot of handstand push ups,
he's six foot four.

927
00:45:30.553 --> 00:45:33.389
Zach crushed it but we still got

928
00:45:33.424 --> 00:45:35.457
all three of them
I think still in the top ten

929
00:45:35.492 --> 00:45:37.899
and two of them
in the top five at the moment.

930
00:45:37.934 --> 00:45:40.165
♪

931
00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:42.772
Teams are coming up and
that's going to be a pivotal one

932
00:45:42.807 --> 00:45:44.268
for the Teams.

933
00:45:44.303 --> 00:45:47.073
I think for us,
if we do well on this workout

934
00:45:47.108 --> 00:45:51.011
it gives us a great chance
to podium

935
00:45:51.046 --> 00:45:52.980
but we're gonna have to be
really smart.

936
00:45:53.015 --> 00:45:57.413
It's definitely not
Matt's favorite movement.

937
00:45:57.448 --> 00:45:59.789
I'm being nice here...
Handstand pushups have been

938
00:45:59.824 --> 00:46:01.483
his nemesis in the past.

939
00:46:01.518 --> 00:46:03.485
So we've got to manage it well.

940
00:46:03.520 --> 00:46:05.520
The second half of the workout
with Brian and Sam,

941
00:46:05.555 --> 00:46:07.489
we should be pretty strong.

942
00:46:07.524 --> 00:46:10.030
But that first half of the
workout with Matt and Maicey,

943
00:46:10.065 --> 00:46:11.526
Matt's just gotta be
able to hang.

944
00:46:11.561 --> 00:46:14.463
We've gotta split
the reps up smartly.

945
00:46:14.498 --> 00:46:17.169
And hopefully be able
to get it to the second half

946
00:46:17.204 --> 00:46:18.500
of the workout with some time

947
00:46:18.535 --> 00:46:20.403
to be able to make up
some time on it.

948
00:46:20.438 --> 00:46:22.471
But I think it's going to be
a pivotal workout.

949
00:46:22.506 --> 00:46:24.880
A male female pair of athletes

950
00:46:24.915 --> 00:46:27.949
perform the first half
of the work.

951
00:46:27.984 --> 00:46:29.918
The fist exercise
would be alternating

952
00:46:29.953 --> 00:46:32.184
deficit handstand push ups.

953
00:46:32.219 --> 00:46:34.417
Each time their partner
performed a push up

954
00:46:34.452 --> 00:46:36.419
the other athlete
had to hold themselves

955
00:46:36.454 --> 00:46:38.355
in a handstand position.

956
00:46:38.390 --> 00:46:41.061
The deficit
was 20 centimeters for males

957
00:46:41.096 --> 00:46:43.327
and ten centimeters for females.

958
00:46:43.362 --> 00:46:45.263
After that came the rope climbs

959
00:46:45.298 --> 00:46:47.034
taking turns with their partner.

960
00:46:47.069 --> 00:46:48.310
After the first pair of athletes

961
00:46:48.334 --> 00:46:49.498
had completed their work,

962
00:46:49.533 --> 00:46:51.269
the second male female pair

963
00:46:51.304 --> 00:46:54.173
came out to face
an even greater challenge.

964
00:46:54.208 --> 00:46:56.879
The handstand push up
deficit was now increased

965
00:46:56.914 --> 00:46:58.309
to 30 centimeters for men

966
00:46:58.344 --> 00:47:00.278
and 20 centimeters for women.

967
00:47:00.313 --> 00:47:03.149
And these rope climbs would
have to be performed legless.

968
00:47:03.184 --> 00:47:06.185
Meaning, the athletes could not
use their feet or legs

969
00:47:06.220 --> 00:47:08.253
to assist in the climb.

970
00:47:08.288 --> 00:47:10.860
The leads gained
by the first pair of athletes

971
00:47:10.895 --> 00:47:13.621
gave their teammates
a major boost.

972
00:47:13.656 --> 00:47:17.933
Athletes get ready.
Go!

973
00:47:17.968 --> 00:47:23.136
So we start with 27 alternative
deficit handstand push ups.

974
00:47:23.171 --> 00:47:26.403
There in the lead,
we have Brazil at lane four

975
00:47:26.438 --> 00:47:29.241
doing their final
handstand push up.

976
00:47:29.276 --> 00:47:33.377
Moving on to the first round
of rope climbs for Brazil.

977
00:47:33.412 --> 00:47:36.611
Second place right now
for Sweden, lane three.

978
00:47:36.646 --> 00:47:39.383
Seven more handstand push ups
to go in the first round

979
00:47:39.418 --> 00:47:42.056
for United States at lane two.

980
00:47:42.091 --> 00:47:44.058
Right now in fourth place.

981
00:47:44.093 --> 00:47:48.128
Final five handstand push ups
for Brazil at lane four.

982
00:47:48.163 --> 00:47:49.591
In the lead.

983
00:47:49.626 --> 00:47:52.297
Second round of rope climbs
now for Brazil.

984
00:47:52.332 --> 00:47:54.662
This time
it's eight rope climbs.

985
00:47:54.697 --> 00:47:58.534
Lane one, Norway, has five more
rope climbs to do

986
00:47:58.569 --> 00:48:02.208
before they can go back
for 21 handstand push ups.

987
00:48:02.243 --> 00:48:06.982
It's definitely not
Matt's favorite movements.

988
00:48:07.017 --> 00:48:09.952
Handstand push ups 'cause
that's a weakness for me.

989
00:48:09.987 --> 00:48:12.482
My weaknesses are my shoulder.

990
00:48:12.517 --> 00:48:14.990
I'm not great on my hands.

991
00:48:15.025 --> 00:48:18.125
Handstand push ups have been
his nemesis in the past.

992
00:48:18.160 --> 00:48:20.523

The first two athletes

Next pair from Brazil start
with 18 alternative deficit

Yeah, they're just so into it.

1036
00:50:46.209 --> 00:50:49.243
It was the final Heat
of the Teams

1037

and it came down
to Sweden and Norway

1038
00:50:51.313 --> 00:50:53.192
were doing their final
rope climb at the same time

1039
00:50:53.216 --> 00:50:55.612
and it was so loud.

1040
00:50:55.647 --> 00:50:57.713
Traditionally,
Team events in the sport,

1041
00:50:57.748 --> 00:50:59.517
they're kind of secondary.

1042
00:50:59.552 --> 00:51:03.224
But now I think this idea
of cheering for your country,

1043
00:51:03.259 --> 00:51:05.204
people are really wrapping
their head around that

1044
00:51:05.228 --> 00:51:06.832
and the fact that you can
stand out there

1045
00:51:06.856 --> 00:51:08.834
and get everyone... right,
get behind your country.

1046
00:51:08.858 --> 00:51:10.561
Everyone can get behind that.

1047
00:51:10.596 --> 00:51:13.597
My prediction is that the Teams
might become more popular

1048
00:51:13.632 --> 00:51:16.468
than the Individual competition
within our system

1049
00:51:16.503 --> 00:51:18.371
just because of that
country pride.

1050
00:51:18.406 --> 00:51:20.307
At the halfway point
of the weekend,

1051
00:51:20.342 --> 00:51:23.310
flags had been planted
and competitive rivalries

1052
00:51:23.345 --> 00:51:25.840
were in full swing.

1053
00:51:25.875 --> 00:51:28.777
It would be up to the athletes
over the next three tests

1054
00:51:28.812 --> 00:51:31.318
to prove who was
the best amongst them

1055
00:51:31.353 --> 00:51:33.716
and now they knew exactly
who they would have to defeat

1056
00:51:33.751 --> 00:51:35.355

1068
00:52:04.188 --> 00:52:06.815
The next test
was the Skill test.

1069
00:52:06.850 --> 00:52:09.224
This test was similar
to test three

1070
00:52:09.259 --> 00:52:12.326
in that it primarily consisted
of bodyweight movements

1071
00:52:12.361 --> 00:52:15.527
and was within
a similar timeframe.

1072
00:52:15.562 --> 00:52:17.826
However, the elements
of the Skill test

1073
00:52:17.861 --> 00:52:20.466
were each individually
much more difficult

1074
00:52:20.501 --> 00:52:22.831
than the elements
of the Bodyweight test.

1075
00:52:22.866 --> 00:52:25.933
Instead of testing
bodyweight muscular endurance,

1076
00:52:25.968 --> 00:52:29.211
this test was about
measuring the athlete's ability

1077
00:52:29.246 --> 00:52:31.411
to perform difficult skills.

1078
00:52:31.446 --> 00:52:33.182
These skills required athletes

1079
00:52:33.217 --> 00:52:34.744
to possess an excellent sense

1080
00:52:34.779 --> 00:52:36.647
of their body's position
in space

1081
00:52:36.682 --> 00:52:38.748
as well as a high degree
of control

1082
00:52:38.783 --> 00:52:40.948
that only comes
with years of practice.

1084
00:52:43.722 --> 00:52:45.689
On top of all that,
their muscles

1085
00:52:45.724 --> 00:52:47.493
and their nervous systems
had to be able

1086
00:52:47.528 --> 00:52:50.364
to perform these skills
under duress

1087
00:52:50.399 --> 00:52:52.894
during a prolonged
and exhausting test.

1088
00:52:52.929 --> 00:52:55.336
The Skill test, which involved

1089
00:52:55.371 --> 00:52:57.668
a gymnastics complex
of a bar up and over

1090
00:52:57.703 --> 00:52:59.516
so like, stuff we used
to do in the playground

1091
00:52:59.540 --> 00:53:01.903
when we were kids, where you
kind of flip your feet over

1092
00:53:01.938 --> 00:53:04.609
then go from that
into a toes to bar,

1093
00:53:04.644 --> 00:53:06.314
chest to bar
then a bar muscle up.

1094
00:53:06.349 --> 00:53:08.910
They are Individual
Functional Fitness movements

1095
00:53:08.945 --> 00:53:11.418
but normally not linked together
like that.

1096
00:53:11.453 --> 00:53:13.651
So that made it
very interesting.

1097
00:53:13.686 --> 00:53:15.554
For this test,
the athletes would all start

1098
00:53:15.589 --> 00:53:18.557
with one rep on each each arm
of a kettlebell getup.

1099
00:53:18.592 --> 00:53:21.725
The getup requires an athlete to
hold a weight above their head

1100
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:23.562
as they lower
all the way to the ground,

1101
00:53:23.597 --> 00:53:24.860
laydown on their back

1102
00:53:24.895 --> 00:53:27.302
then bring themselves
all the way to standing

1103
00:53:27.337 --> 00:53:30.239
with the weight overhead again.

1104
00:53:30.274 --> 00:53:32.472
After getups,
the athletes would transition

1105
00:53:32.507 --> 00:53:34.705
to a complex on the pull up bar.

1106
00:53:34.740 --> 00:53:37.004
This complex involved
a series of movements

1107
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:39.512
that challenged
their strength and coordination

1108
00:53:39.547 --> 00:53:41.943
as well as balance
and equilibrium.

1109
00:53:41.978 --> 00:53:44.550
Each movement would
have to be performed perfectly

1110
00:53:44.585 --> 00:53:47.421
according to the standards
and in the correct order

1111
00:53:47.456 --> 00:53:49.687
before it would count.

1112
00:53:49.722 --> 00:53:51.953
The third part of the test
was a handstand walk.

1113
00:53:51.988 --> 00:53:53.922
But what made this handstand
walk different

1114
00:53:53.957 --> 00:53:56.793
was the requirement that
athletes hold a foam block

1115
00:53:56.828 --> 00:53:59.400
between their ankles
as well as the requirement

1116
00:53:59.435 --> 00:54:01.897
to perform
a 360 degree pirouette

1117
00:54:01.932 --> 00:54:03.470
at the center point.

1118
00:54:03.505 --> 00:54:05.406

also have to pirouette

1119
00:54:05.441 --> 00:54:06.704

a minute to spare.

This was Parker's third firs
place finish of the weekend.

No one gets 600 possible points.

1176

Women can be strong

1177
00:57:15.730 --> 00:57:18.027
and women can be muscular,
and that's beautiful.

1178
00:57:18.062 --> 00:57:21.503
The sport has really helped

1179
00:57:21.538 --> 00:57:25.232
just in society that that image
of a strong, muscular woman

1180
00:57:25.267 --> 00:57:27.872
is now more acceptable
than it was, you know,

1181
00:57:27.907 --> 00:57:29.742
even five years ago,
ten years ago.

1182
00:57:29.777 --> 00:57:32.173
They all have beautiful...
Like, they're beautiful bodies,

1183
00:57:32.208 --> 00:57:34.241
and their bodies
can do amazing things,

1184
00:57:34.276 --> 00:57:35.946
and that's really cool.

1185
00:57:35.981 --> 00:57:38.047
There are so many women
who start the sport

1186
00:57:38.082 --> 00:57:40.786
and they start to get
a little stronger,

1187
00:57:40.821 --> 00:57:43.052
they see what their body can do,

1188
00:57:43.087 --> 00:57:45.252
they feel very accomplished
and very capable,

1189
00:57:45.287 --> 00:57:47.573
you know, they could lift things
they couldn't lift before,

1190
00:57:47.597 --> 00:57:48.728
do skills, do a pull-up,

1191
00:57:48.763 --> 00:57:50.224
do things
they couldn't do before,

1192
00:57:50.259 --> 00:57:54.734
so it helps them
embrace their body

1193
00:57:54.769 --> 00:57:58.034
no matter what shape it is
and really understand, like,

1194
00:57:58.069 --> 00:58:01.070
"Oh, my body is capable
of so many amazing things,

1195
00:58:01.105 --> 00:58:03.776
and making it strong
makes me confident

1196
00:58:03.811 --> 00:58:06.680
and makes me able
to do cool stuff.

1197
00:58:06.715 --> 00:58:08.715
So I think that's really
one of the benefits

1198
00:58:08.750 --> 00:58:10.684
of this sport
and definitely helpful

1199
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.050

confidence in women.

1227
00:59:47.013 --> 00:59:50.619
Only one more to go now
for lane 2,

1228
00:59:50.654 --> 00:59:53.314
Yakov Filimonov in the lead.

1229
00:59:53.349 --> 00:59:55.250
It is Zach Sowder

1230
00:59:55.285 --> 00:59:58.957
also on the last reps
of this complex.

1231
00:59:58.992 --> 01:00:03.390
Final walk,
pirouettes to the left.

1232
01:00:03.425 --> 01:00:06.998
And across the last blue line.

1233
01:00:07.033 --> 01:00:09.264
No problem.

1234
01:00:09.299 --> 01:00:12.839
Only nine meter left
for Yakov Filimonov

1235
01:00:12.874 --> 01:00:16.304
to win this whole heat
and the test.

1236
01:00:16.339 --> 01:00:20.143
And we now have also Zach Watts

1237
01:00:20.178 --> 01:00:23.949
doing his final reps
of the complex.

1238
01:00:23.984 --> 01:00:26.688
Pirouettes to the right,

1239
01:00:26.723 --> 01:00:28.921
and the final steps

1240
01:00:28.956 --> 01:00:34.696
for Yakov Filimonov
from Russia at lane 2

1241
01:00:34.731 --> 01:00:38.128

and test win.

Last complex for lane 6,
Zach Sowder.

1244
01:00:47.370 --> 01:00:51.812
Final handstand walk now
for lane 6, Zach Sowder.

1245
01:00:51.847 --> 01:00:54.276
That's the last thing
he's gonna do.

1246
01:00:54.311 --> 01:00:57.345
Third place, lane 4, Zach Watts.

1247
01:00:57.380 --> 01:01:00.920
♪

1248
01:01:00.955 --> 01:01:06.827
Final pirouette for lane 6,
Zach Sowder.

1249
01:01:06.862 --> 01:01:11.062
Final steps
across that last blue line.

1250
01:01:11.097 --> 01:01:17.233
And we have a finish sprint
for Zach Sowder.

1251
01:01:17.268 --> 01:01:22.744
Final walk, lane 5, Matt Dlugos.

1252
01:01:22.779 --> 01:01:25.879
And it is lane 4,

1253
01:01:25.914 --> 01:01:29.014
Zach Watts.

1254
01:01:29.049 --> 01:01:30.719
Finish for Zach Watts.

1255
01:01:30.754 --> 01:01:36.989
Four, three, two, one, time.

1256
01:01:37.024 --> 01:01:40.487
Latvia's Marcis Mucenieks
surprised everyone.

1257
01:01:40.522 --> 01:01:42.797
Despite being in one
of the lower heats,

1258
01:01:42.832 --> 01:01:44.766
his dominant performance
brought him ahead

1259
01:01:44.801 --> 01:01:46.460
of all the men in the top heat

1260
01:01:46.495 --> 01:01:50.035
except for the test winner,
Yakov Filimonov from Russia,

1261
01:01:50.070 --> 01:01:52.037
who beat him by 44 seconds

1262
01:01:52.072 --> 01:01:54.105
and was nearly
three minutes ahead

1263
01:01:54.140 --> 01:01:55.810
of the third-place competitor.

1264
01:01:55.845 --> 01:01:57.273
Like the second test,

1265
01:01:57.308 --> 01:01:58.780
team test 4 involved

1266
01:01:58.815 --> 01:02:01.475
only two of the four athletes.

1267
01:02:01.510 --> 01:02:04.753
Yeah, so the way they have
this one set up is,

1268
01:02:04.788 --> 01:02:07.052
Matt and Sam will do
the strength event today,

1269
01:02:07.087 --> 01:02:08.922
and then me and Maicey
will just watch,

1270
01:02:08.957 --> 01:02:10.792
and then tomorrow,
the second event

1271
01:02:10.827 --> 01:02:12.321
is like a lot
of gymnastics stuff,

1272
01:02:12.356 --> 01:02:15.830
and so he'll get to watch us
do a bunch of bar muscle-ups,

1273
01:02:15.865 --> 01:02:17.832
handstand walks, toes-to-bar,
stuff like that.

1274
01:02:17.867 --> 01:02:19.966
These two faced an ordeal

1275
01:02:20.001 --> 01:02:22.298
of synchronized
pull-up bar exercises

1276
01:02:22.333 --> 01:02:26.775
as well as a high volume
of handstand walks.

1277
01:02:26.810 --> 01:02:29.239
First up was 15 bar muscle-ups,

1278
01:02:29.274 --> 01:02:31.109
pulling their bodies up
and over the bar

1279
01:02:31.144 --> 01:02:32.814
in sync with their partner.

1280
01:02:32.849 --> 01:02:36.378
Next was 30 synchronized
chest-to-bar pull-ups.

1281
01:02:36.413 --> 01:02:41.020
The final bar exercise was a set
of 45 synchronized toes-to-bar.

1282
01:02:41.055 --> 01:02:43.220
Between each round
on the pull-up bar,

1283
01:02:43.255 --> 01:02:47.125
athletes took turns performing
15-meter handstand walks.

1284
01:02:47.160 --> 01:02:51.426
This is approximately 50 feet
per athlete each round.

1285
01:02:51.461 --> 01:02:54.264
Go!

1286
01:02:54.299 --> 01:02:56.563
And we start with 15

1287
01:02:56.598 --> 01:03:00.303
synchronized bar muscle-ups.

1288
01:03:00.338 --> 01:03:05.110
Five more to go
for lane 5, Brazil.

1289
01:03:05.145 --> 01:03:07.948
And we got hand up
for Sweden, lane 2.

1290
01:03:07.983 --> 01:03:10.313
Lane 5, Brazil,

1291
01:03:10.348 --> 01:03:12.854
very, very quick
to the handstand walk,

1292
01:03:12.889 --> 01:03:17.122
just ahead of Sweden on lane 2.

1293
01:03:17.157 --> 01:03:21.291
Next thing is
30 synchronized chest-to-bar.

1294
01:03:21.326 --> 01:03:24.063
In the lead,
we have Norway on lane 6

1295
01:03:24.098 --> 01:03:28.166
followed by Brazil at lane 5.

1296
01:03:28.201 --> 01:03:31.906
Third place, Sweden, lane 2.

1297
01:03:31.941 --> 01:03:36.977
Final way of handstand walk
for lane 4, USA.

1298
01:03:37.012 --> 01:03:40.508
And lane 3 now done,

1299
01:03:40.543 --> 01:03:43.346
Canada also move on
to chest-to-bar.

1300
01:03:43.381 --> 01:03:47.218
We now have all teams
doing chest-to-bar,

1301
01:03:47.253 --> 01:03:49.858
30 synchronized chest-to-bar.

1302
01:03:49.893 --> 01:03:53.257
And we have a hand in the air
for Sweden, lane 2.

1303
01:03:53.292 --> 01:03:56.326
Hand up for Australia, lane 1.

1304
01:03:56.361 --> 01:04:00.627
And it is, in the lead,
Sweden on lane 2.

1305
01:04:00.662 --> 01:04:03.300
Second time
on the handstand walk.

1306
01:04:03.335 --> 01:04:06.204
And we have handstand walk
from Australia

1307
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:08.635
and from Canada, lane 3.

1308
01:04:08.670 --> 01:04:12.408
Norway back to the toes-to-bar,

1309
01:04:12.443 --> 01:04:16.379
45 synchronized toes-to-bar
for Norway.

1310
01:04:16.414 --> 01:04:19.283
Now we also have
the second handstand walk

1311
01:04:19.318 --> 01:04:23.287
for lane 4, USA,
and lane 5, Brazil.

1312
01:04:23.322 --> 01:04:28.193
So we have three teams
on their last 45 toes-to-bar.

1313
01:04:28.228 --> 01:04:32.494
Norway, Canada, Sweden,
our top three teams so far.

1314
01:04:32.529 --> 01:04:37.939
Now we also have United States
and Brazil doing toes-to-bar.

1315
01:04:37.974 --> 01:04:42.075
Only six more toes-to-bar
for Norway at lane 6.

1316
01:04:42.110 --> 01:04:44.242
Final five.

1317
01:04:44.277 --> 01:04:47.674
Final handstand walk
for Norway in the lead.

01:04:53.484 --> 01:04:57.387
taking this test number 4 win.

1321

One more athlete
to do handstand walk for Canada,

1322
01:05:00.722 --> 01:05:04.064
two athletes for Sweden.

1323
01:05:04.099 --> 01:05:08.596
Last meter of handstand walk
for Canada

1324
01:05:08.631 --> 01:05:10.565
to take second place.

1325
01:05:10.600 --> 01:05:14.536
Only a few steps.

1326
01:05:14.571 --> 01:05:19.673
And there we have Canada,
second place in this heat.

1327

third place for Sweden
at lane 2.

1329
01:05:26.352 --> 01:05:31.553
We are in the final handstand
walk for lane 4, United States,

01:05:31.588 --> 01:05:34.490

1332
01:05:39.563 --> 01:05:44.973
And it is United States
taking fourth place.

1333
01:05:47.043 --> 01:05:49.340
Amongst the top teams
coming into the weekend,

1334
01:05:49.375 --> 01:05:52.145
Norway and Sweden
both excelled at this test

1335
01:05:52.180 --> 01:05:54.378
while the U.S.
did poorer than expected

1336
01:05:54.413 --> 01:05:56.281
and did not crack the top 5.

1337
01:05:56.316 --> 01:05:58.580
I'm tired, man,
it was a long day.

1338
01:05:58.615 --> 01:06:01.319
But after day two,
one of our tenured athletes,

1339
01:06:01.354 --> 01:06:03.750
Zach Sowder, he's currently
sitting in first place,

1340
01:06:03.785 --> 01:06:07.556
with our team sitting in third.

1341
01:06:07.591 --> 01:06:09.492
Also, our other two
male athletes are

1342
01:06:09.527 --> 01:06:11.659
well within striking distance
of the podium,

1343
01:06:11.694 --> 01:06:15.465
and our top female athlete
sits in second.

1344
01:06:15.500 --> 01:06:19.370
Canada's Alex Parker still held
the top spot for the women

1345
01:06:19.405 --> 01:06:22.274
with USA's Jordan Adcock
still holding second

1346
01:06:22.309 --> 01:06:25.508
and the third place position
still held by Hattie Kanyo,

1347
01:06:25.543 --> 01:06:28.610
meaning that these three women
had held the top three spots

1348
01:06:28.645 --> 01:06:30.678
for three tests in a row.

1349
01:06:30.713 --> 01:06:34.253
On the men's side, Zach Sowder
now held the top spot,

1350
01:06:34.288 --> 01:06:36.486
with Uldis Upenieks
slipping into second

1351
01:06:36.521 --> 01:06:38.389
and Khan Porter in third.

1352
01:06:38.424 --> 01:06:40.292
The challenges of the second day

1353
01:06:40.327 --> 01:06:42.723
had dropped Matt Dlugos
to fourth place,

1354
01:06:42.758 --> 01:06:44.461
while some
of the smaller athletes

1355
01:06:44.496 --> 01:06:46.628
who are more suited
to today's tests

1356
01:06:46.663 --> 01:06:49.697
moved up in the standings.

1357
01:06:49.732 --> 01:06:51.633
But another huge highlight
of the day,

1358
01:06:51.668 --> 01:06:55.109
our 11th-hour call-up,
Maicey McIlveen,

1359
01:06:55.144 --> 01:06:58.706
she performed awesome today
in the partner workout today,

1360
01:06:58.741 --> 01:07:01.445
so really good to see her

1361
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:03.612
being able to step up
to the challenge

1362
01:07:03.647 --> 01:07:05.614
of literally being called up
at the last minute

1363
01:07:05.649 --> 01:07:08.584
to travel halfway
across the world to exercise

1364
01:07:08.619 --> 01:07:10.586
and represent the United States.

1365
01:07:10.621 --> 01:07:13.622
While they did not finish
in the top 5 of test 4,

1366
01:07:13.657 --> 01:07:16.394
the USA team's
respectable finish gave them

1367
01:07:16.429 --> 01:07:17.659
enough points to remain

1368
01:07:17.694 --> 01:07:19.232
a contender for the podium

1369
01:07:19.267 --> 01:07:22.631
going into day 3.

1370
01:07:22.666 --> 01:07:25.172
This is our third
world championships,

1371
01:07:25.207 --> 01:07:27.174
and it's a great event
every year,

1372
01:07:27.209 --> 01:07:30.111
and it's really starting
to take on, you know,

1373
01:07:30.146 --> 01:07:32.212
some more meaning
within the community

1374
01:07:32.247 --> 01:07:34.445
where it's an honor
to represent your country

1375
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:37.613
and win a world championship
title for your country.

1376
01:07:37.648 --> 01:07:40.616
I founded the iF3 in 2016.

1377
01:07:40.651 --> 01:07:43.289
I was at a point in my life
professionally

1378
01:07:43.324 --> 01:07:46.094
where I didn't have a job
at the time

1379
01:07:46.129 --> 01:07:48.789
and was having difficulty
finding a new job,

1380
01:07:48.824 --> 01:07:51.627
and I always thought this sport
had so much potential

1381
01:07:51.662 --> 01:07:55.136
to be an Olympic sport
and really be

1382
01:07:55.171 --> 01:07:58.106
a legitimately recognized sport,
and I kind of figured,

1383
01:07:58.141 --> 01:08:00.702
well, I understand generally
what the process is like.

1384
01:08:00.737 --> 01:08:02.374
There are things
from my background

1385
01:08:02.409 --> 01:08:05.245
that just kind of put me
in a good position to do this.

1386
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.444
No one else is doing it.

1387
01:08:06.479 --> 01:08:08.116
I don't see anyone else

1388
01:08:08.151 --> 01:08:10.217
willing to take the risk
at the time.

1389
01:08:10.252 --> 01:08:12.384
I figured, well,
I might as well go for it

1390
01:08:12.419 --> 01:08:13.781
because I believe in it.

1391
01:08:13.816 --> 01:08:15.387
Incorporated the nonprofit,

1392
01:08:15.422 --> 01:08:17.785
had a very small team to start,

1393
01:08:17.820 --> 01:08:21.327
and it took about a year
of background work,

1394
01:08:21.362 --> 01:08:25.166
and then we publicly announced
in June of 2017,

1395
01:08:25.201 --> 01:08:29.896
and within four months, we held
our first world championship.

1396
01:08:29.931 --> 01:08:32.239
What we've seen historically
in the sport

1397
01:08:32.274 --> 01:08:34.703
is private brands
running competitions, right?

1398
01:08:34.738 --> 01:08:36.474
Branded events.

1399
01:08:36.509 --> 01:08:39.312
And what we have here
is a nonprofit organization

1400
01:08:39.347 --> 01:08:40.775
governing a sport, right?

1401
01:08:40.810 --> 01:08:42.414
And the term,
"functional fitness,"

1402
01:08:42.449 --> 01:08:45.549
that's a generic name
for the sport.

1403
01:08:45.584 --> 01:08:48.519
A brand, a trademark brand name,
cannot be a sport.

1404
01:08:48.554 --> 01:08:50.158
For purposes
of the Olympic movement,

1405
01:08:50.193 --> 01:08:53.161
that's really important
to kind of know and distinguish,

1406
01:08:53.196 --> 01:08:55.889
and sometimes that gets confused
in our community,

1407
01:08:55.924 --> 01:08:58.826
so we've had to do a lot of
sort of education on that point,

1408
01:08:58.861 --> 01:09:02.269
but we have a board of directors
who governs things

1409
01:09:02.304 --> 01:09:04.370
and kind of helps run
the organization,

1410
01:09:04.405 --> 01:09:05.701
and then we have committees

1411
01:09:05.736 --> 01:09:08.506
who make a lot
of our specific decisions,

1412
01:09:08.541 --> 01:09:10.574
and really it's people
amongst the community

1413
01:09:10.609 --> 01:09:11.916
who are serving
on these committees

1414
01:09:11.940 --> 01:09:13.709
and doing this work
to grow the sport.

1415
01:09:13.744 --> 01:09:15.315
So it's a group of people

1416
01:09:15.350 --> 01:09:17.262
helping to manage and develop
and run the sport.

1417
01:09:17.286 --> 01:09:19.616
It's not like one person
is owning this.

1418
01:09:19.651 --> 01:09:22.454
Yeah, the iF3 is structured
based upon

1419
01:09:22.489 --> 01:09:24.720
just previous experiences
in sport.

1420
01:09:24.755 --> 01:09:27.591
That's what we...
Like if you were to open a book

1421
01:09:27.626 --> 01:09:30.396
and say, "How do you do
sport governance?"

1422
01:09:30.431 --> 01:09:33.630
That has been written
a thousand times over,

1423
01:09:33.665 --> 01:09:36.204
so we're standing
on the shoulders of giants,

1424
01:09:36.239 --> 01:09:39.504
of the pluses and minuses
from all those experiences,

1425
01:09:39.539 --> 01:09:43.706
and what we laid it out at
is like any other sport growth.

1426
01:09:43.741 --> 01:09:47.248
You have to have some structure
from the local level

1427
01:09:47.283 --> 01:09:51.549
all the way up to Olympic level
and have qualification standards

1428
01:09:51.584 --> 01:09:54.354
and like a knowledge
around what the sport looks like

1429
01:09:54.389 --> 01:09:55.883
at each of those levels.

1430
01:09:55.918 --> 01:09:57.984
And if you go global
with a sport,

1431
01:09:58.019 --> 01:09:59.656
you have to have
the conversation

1432
01:09:59.691 --> 01:10:00.833
around how sport is expressed

1433
01:10:00.857 --> 01:10:02.494
at the highest level
for that globe.

1434
01:10:02.529 --> 01:10:03.462
That's the Olympics.

1435
01:10:03.497 --> 01:10:06.267
Our campaign is called
Reach for the Rings,

1436
01:10:06.302 --> 01:10:08.863
which sort of has
a dual meaning,

1437
01:10:08.898 --> 01:10:10.799
I guess
the more literal meaning being

1438
01:10:10.834 --> 01:10:12.504
reaching for the Olympic rings,

1439
01:10:12.539 --> 01:10:15.771
that we're trying to live
that Olympic dream,

1440
01:10:15.806 --> 01:10:18.939
and then
a more fitness-esque meaning

1441
01:10:18.974 --> 01:10:21.711
with the idea
of reaching for the rings,

1442
01:10:21.746 --> 01:10:25.748
visualizing the gymnastics rings
hanging down from the ceiling

1443
01:10:25.783 --> 01:10:27.981
and people jumping up
to do, say, muscle-ups.

1444
01:10:28.016 --> 01:10:30.258
Right, you have to reach up
for those rings.

1445
01:10:30.293 --> 01:10:31.600
People tend
to stand there, right?

1446
01:10:31.624 --> 01:10:32.887
They stand there and they wait

1447
01:10:32.922 --> 01:10:34.592
and they say,
"I'm not ready yet,"

1448
01:10:34.627 --> 01:10:36.506
and then they wait,
they get a couple more breaths,

1449
01:10:36.530 --> 01:10:38.365
and then they jump up
to the rings.

1450
01:10:38.400 --> 01:10:39.806
And our philosophy
has kind of been,

1451
01:10:39.830 --> 01:10:40.841
"Well, don't wait, just go."

1452
01:10:40.865 --> 01:10:43.304
Right, go before you're ready,
in a sense,

1453
01:10:43.339 --> 01:10:44.712
or go before you think
you're ready,

1454
01:10:44.736 --> 01:10:46.802
'cause you're never gonna be
totally ready.

1455
01:10:46.837 --> 01:10:48.738
And if you wait,
you probably waited too long.

1456
01:10:48.773 --> 01:10:51.708
This is new territory
for our sport,

1457
01:10:51.743 --> 01:10:54.282
for our federations,
you know, for everybody,

1458
01:10:54.317 --> 01:10:57.417
and we can't be afraid to just
reach for the rings and go.

1459
01:10:57.452 --> 01:10:59.716
Between launching
in June of 2017

1460
01:10:59.751 --> 01:11:02.719
and then worlds
in October of that year,

1461
01:11:02.754 --> 01:11:05.788
we had eight federations form
and then show up at worlds,

1462
01:11:05.823 --> 01:11:07.427
which was super awesome.

1463
01:11:07.462 --> 01:11:10.496
And then next year,
we took worlds to London,

1464
01:11:10.531 --> 01:11:11.794
and at that point,

1465
01:11:11.829 --> 01:11:14.962
we had 24 federations
in our organization

1466
01:11:14.997 --> 01:11:18.702
and I think 14 of them
came to worlds.

1467
01:11:18.737 --> 01:11:20.539
Then this year,
now we are in Sweden

1468
01:11:20.574 --> 01:11:21.881
and we've taken another step up.

1469
01:11:21.905 --> 01:11:24.444
We're at 35
national federations,

1470
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:27.040
and I don't have the total count
of how many are here yet,

1471
01:11:27.075 --> 01:11:28.580
but I think it's over 20.

1472
01:11:28.615 --> 01:11:30.978
- The Swe3F.
- Canada Functional Fitness.

1473
01:11:31.013 --> 01:11:32.881
The Australian
Functional Fitness Federation.

1474
01:11:32.916 --> 01:11:34.751
German Functional Fitness
Federation.

1475
01:11:34.786 --> 01:11:37.017
The F3 Federation for Aruba.

1476
01:11:37.052 --> 01:11:39.558
Russia National Federation.

1477
01:11:39.593 --> 01:11:42.429
Hellenic Functional Fitness
Federation.

1478
01:11:42.464 --> 01:11:45.597
The Norwegian Federation
for Functional Fitness.

1479
01:11:45.632 --> 01:11:48.897
VENEFFIT is the organization

1480
01:11:48.932 --> 01:11:52.373
for the functional fitness
sport in Venezuela.

1481
01:11:52.408 --> 01:11:54.804
We don't have to go beg people
to start federations.

1482
01:11:54.839 --> 01:11:56.344
They kinda come to us.

1483
01:11:56.379 --> 01:11:57.851
So people will reach out
and they'll say,

1484
01:11:57.875 --> 01:11:58.841
"Hey, I've heard about this,

1485
01:11:58.876 --> 01:12:00.722
I think this is
a great direction for the sport.

1486
01:12:00.746 --> 01:12:02.449
How do I get involved
in my country?

1487
01:12:02.484 --> 01:12:03.956
How do I start a federation?
What do I have to do?"

1488
01:12:03.980 --> 01:12:08.488
And that organic growth
is really important,

1489
01:12:08.523 --> 01:12:11.084
and also I think it makes for
stronger national federations

1490
01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:13.053
because you have people
who are saying,

1491
01:12:13.088 --> 01:12:15.121
"I want to do this
because I care about the sport."

1492
01:12:15.156 --> 01:12:18.564
So, national federations
kind of do what we do

1493
01:12:18.599 --> 01:12:21.534
as an international federation
but on a national level.

1494
01:12:21.569 --> 01:12:22.931
They work to get recognized

1495
01:12:22.966 --> 01:12:25.373
by their various
ministries of sport

1496
01:12:25.408 --> 01:12:27.045
and then their national
Olympic committees.

1497
01:12:27.069 --> 01:12:29.707
They're also all
nonprofit organizations,

1498
01:12:29.742 --> 01:12:31.478
and there can only be one
per country.

1499
01:12:31.513 --> 01:12:33.843
So we recognize one
in every country,

1500
01:12:33.878 --> 01:12:36.780
and their job is to promote and
grow the sport in their country.

1501
01:12:36.815 --> 01:12:39.453
So it's been 15 years now,
I guess you can say,

1502
01:12:39.488 --> 01:12:42.588
that I've been inside the sport
as a coach and athlete.

1503
01:12:42.623 --> 01:12:46.724
I've coached thousands
of athletes inside this sport.

1504
01:12:46.759 --> 01:12:48.627
I've coached hundreds, now,

1505
01:12:48.662 --> 01:12:51.091
of coaches who are coaching
inside the sport.

1506
01:12:51.126 --> 01:12:53.863
I participated at the highest
level in fitness and won,

1507
01:12:53.898 --> 01:12:56.162
and then I went on
to keep trying to help others

1508
01:12:56.197 --> 01:12:58.703
and different athletes
express that.

1509
01:12:58.738 --> 01:13:00.639
I would say that
I've probably been

1510
01:13:00.674 --> 01:13:03.477
some of those individuals...
One of those individuals

1511
01:13:03.512 --> 01:13:06.942
that took our sport
to a really serious,

1512
01:13:06.977 --> 01:13:09.043
maximal potential personally.

1513
01:13:09.078 --> 01:13:11.452
So it allows me to have
a lot of experience

1514
01:13:11.487 --> 01:13:14.620
to see what's best
for the growth of this sport

1515
01:13:14.655 --> 01:13:16.556
when we want to structure it
and govern it.

1516
01:13:16.591 --> 01:13:20.758
We can't lose sight
of my past in the sport,

1517
01:13:20.793 --> 01:13:22.793
and it makes me emotional
to think

1518
01:13:22.828 --> 01:13:26.698
that I'll have a part to play
in fixing it.

1519
01:13:26.733 --> 01:13:30.471
It feels like I'm rewriting
something that I was a part of

1520
01:13:30.506 --> 01:13:32.440
that sent it
in the wrong direction,

1521
01:13:32.475 --> 01:13:35.641
and now I really feel like I
need to bring it back to center

1522
01:13:35.676 --> 01:13:37.643

01:15:46.906 --> 01:15:50.270
The iF3 gives out gold medals
for first place,

1563
01:15:50.305 --> 01:15:52.338
silver medals for second place,

1564
01:15:52.373 --> 01:15:54.274
bronze medals for third place,

1565
01:15:54.309 --> 01:15:56.584
and nothing else after that.

1566
01:15:56.619 --> 01:15:58.850
This is the day we crown
our world champions.

1567
01:15:58.885 --> 01:16:00.621
We got our final two tests
today.

1568
01:16:00.656 --> 01:16:02.029
The first one
is a little different.

1569
01:16:02.053 --> 01:16:04.218
Like the bodyweight test
and the skill test,

1570
01:16:04.253 --> 01:16:06.319
the mixed test this year
also falls

1571
01:16:06.354 --> 01:16:08.695
into the 12-to 15-minute range.

1572
01:16:08.730 --> 01:16:10.895
Not as long as
the endurance test

1573
01:16:10.930 --> 01:16:13.161
but still measuring
an element of work capacity

1574
01:16:13.196 --> 01:16:15.130
and muscular endurance.

1575
01:16:15.165 --> 01:16:17.671
Test 5 was probably
the most popular

1576
01:16:17.706 --> 01:16:20.036
and beloved test
in the competition,

1577
01:16:20.071 --> 01:16:22.335
combining the elements
of all the other tests

1578
01:16:22.370 --> 01:16:26.207
in a very exciting way,
and today, there was a twist.

1579
01:16:26.242 --> 01:16:28.286
I've been calling it
a choose-your-own-adventure test

1580
01:16:28.310 --> 01:16:30.882
but they all have the same
buy-in that they have to do.

1581
01:16:30.917 --> 01:16:32.757
They're all biking
and then doing toes-to-bar,

1582
01:16:32.787 --> 01:16:34.259
and then there are
four other movements,

1583
01:16:34.283 --> 01:16:36.723
they have to do 50 reps
of each one,

1584
01:16:36.758 --> 01:16:38.901
but they got to pick what order
they wanted to do that,

1585
01:16:38.925 --> 01:16:42.289
so it was cool to see
everybody's order of operations,

1586
01:16:42.324 --> 01:16:45.358
so to speak, and see which ones
turned out to be the best.

1587
01:16:45.393 --> 01:16:46.359
After buying in

1588
01:16:46.394 --> 01:16:47.394
with a certain number

1589
01:16:47.428 --> 01:16:48.933
of calories on the AirBike

1590
01:16:48.968 --> 01:16:50.264
and 50 toes-to-bar,

1591
01:16:50.299 --> 01:16:51.672
the athletes were allowed

1592
01:16:51.707 --> 01:16:52.904
to choose the order

1593
01:16:52.939 --> 01:16:54.334
of their final four movements.

1594
01:16:54.369 --> 01:16:56.677
Pistols are one-legged squats,

1595
01:16:56.712 --> 01:17:00.648
in this case, alternating legs
on each repetition.

1596
01:17:00.683 --> 01:17:03.178
Single-arm dumbbell
shoulder-to-overhead

1597
01:17:03.213 --> 01:17:04.817
is really just a fancy name

1598
01:17:04.852 --> 01:17:07.380
for throwing a weight
up in the air in one hand.

1599
01:17:07.415 --> 01:17:10.152
The Russian kettlebell swing
is an exercise

1600
01:17:10.187 --> 01:17:12.055
where the athlete
uses their hips

1601
01:17:12.090 --> 01:17:14.090
to swing the kettlebell
in their hands

1602
01:17:14.125 --> 01:17:17.995
from down between their legs up
to above their shoulder height.

1603
01:17:18.030 --> 01:17:21.229
Box jump-overs are
exactly what they sound like:

1604
01:17:21.264 --> 01:17:22.736
jumping over a box.

01:23:34.637 --> 01:23:37.671
Well, this is my seventh year of
competing in functional fitness,

1733
01:23:37.706 --> 01:23:40.377
first time though competing
at the iF3.

1734
01:23:40.412 --> 01:23:42.709
I like the idea of branching out

1735
01:23:42.744 --> 01:23:45.646
in all the different functional
fitness sporting opportunities

1736
01:23:45.681 --> 01:23:47.582
that are popping up now,
and I really wanted

1737
01:23:47.617 --> 01:23:49.749
to kind of come,
check it out for myself,

1738
01:23:49.784 --> 01:23:53.291
and hopefully help build it
in Australia

1739
01:23:53.326 --> 01:23:55.788
as a different avenue of
competing in functional fitness.

1740
01:23:55.823 --> 01:23:57.724
Teams test 5 was also known

1741
01:23:57.759 --> 01:23:59.429
as the strategy test.

1742
01:23:59.464 --> 01:24:01.200
Teams would have to strategize

1743
01:24:01.235 --> 01:24:03.235
how they wanted
to attack this test

1744
01:24:03.270 --> 01:24:07.536
by selecting one athlete to
perform each of the four tasks.

1745
01:24:07.571 --> 01:24:09.340
Men would do the first two tasks

1746
01:24:09.375 --> 01:24:11.771
with women completing
the final two.

1747
01:24:11.806 --> 01:24:14.708
In the team test,
you are able to cater

1748
01:24:14.743 --> 01:24:16.380
to your strengths a little bit.

1749
01:24:16.415 --> 01:24:18.712
So for me, unfortunately for me,

1750
01:24:18.747 --> 01:24:20.384
my strengths are my engine,

1751
01:24:20.419 --> 01:24:22.650
so all the uncomfortable,
nasty...

1752
01:24:22.685 --> 01:24:25.422
Distance running at top speed,

1753
01:24:25.457 --> 01:24:27.853
cycling, you know,
squat snatches.

1754
01:24:27.888 --> 01:24:29.657
And then I think our last test

1755
01:24:29.692 --> 01:24:31.197
of the competition will be

1756
01:24:31.232 --> 01:24:32.792
an 80-calorie Assault Bike,

1757
01:24:32.827 --> 01:24:34.761
which is a mean test.

1758
01:24:34.796 --> 01:24:36.862
Go!

1759
01:24:36.897 --> 01:24:41.735
One athlete performs
all 100 wall-balls,

1760
01:24:41.770 --> 01:24:46.146
followed by next athlete,
80 calories on the bike.

1761
01:24:46.181 --> 01:24:50.216
Third athlete,
60 burpee box jump-overs.

1762
01:24:50.251 --> 01:24:56.552
And the last athlete performs
40 deadlifts at 92.5.

1763
01:24:56.587 --> 01:24:59.324
Nine kilo wall ball.

1764
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:01.260
One hundred wall-balls.

1765
01:25:01.295 --> 01:25:04.362
They are holding on,
going unbroken

1766
01:25:04.397 --> 01:25:06.298
on these 100 wall-balls.

1767
01:25:06.333 --> 01:25:08.399
Look out for the judge's hand.

1768
01:25:08.434 --> 01:25:11.468
When that hand comes up,
it's only five reps to go.

1769
01:25:11.503 --> 01:25:14.834
And it is United States,

1770
01:25:14.869 --> 01:25:17.837
followed by Russia and Norway.

1771
01:25:17.872 --> 01:25:20.609
Final reps.

1772
01:25:20.644 --> 01:25:25.449
And first athlete on the bike
is from Norway.

1773
01:25:25.484 --> 01:25:26.879
Norway first on the bike

1774
01:25:26.914 --> 01:25:30.685
followed by Russia
and United States

1775
01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:33.160
at lane 1 and 2.

1776
01:25:33.195 --> 01:25:37.890
Seventy calories now
for United States at lane 2.

1777
01:25:40.730 --> 01:25:45.370
It is United States
done with the bike,

1778
01:25:45.405 --> 01:25:47.702
running to the finish line.

1779
01:25:47.737 --> 01:25:50.408
Third athlete out
for United States

1780
01:25:50.443 --> 01:25:53.543

burpee box jump-overs.

Twenty burpee box jump-overs now

Forty-four, Russia.

Oh, now they are
picking up the pace.

Final reps now

In the lead,
it is Norway, lane 6.

1795
01:26:40.262 --> 01:26:44.759
First athlete on the deadlift

one more burpee box jump to do.

01:26:52.967 --> 01:26:56.903
The weight on that barbell
is 92.5.

1799
01:26:56.938 --> 01:27:00.478
And there we have United States
doing deadlifts.

1800
01:27:00.513 --> 01:27:05.813
Forty deadlifts at 92.5.

1801

Final ones for United States.

It is Canada,

1809
01:27:32.611 --> 01:27:35.744
Canada taking second place.

1810
01:27:35.779 --> 01:27:38.010

1821
01:28:09.516 --> 01:28:11.615
and finished in the top
of test 5.

1822
01:28:11.650 --> 01:28:13.551
Another first-place finish
for Norway,

1823
01:28:13.586 --> 01:28:14.719
their third for the weekend,

1824
01:28:14.754 --> 01:28:19.590
meant their first-place
podium finish was now secure.

Scoring 100 points for each

1826

of those first-place finishes

1827

meant the Norwegians

1828
01:28:23.596 --> 01:28:24.694
now had more points

1829
01:28:24.729 --> 01:28:26.333
than most teams would score

1830
01:28:26.368 --> 01:28:27.631
over the entire weekend.

1831
01:28:27.666 --> 01:28:29.468
Yeah, no flaws.

1832
01:28:29.503 --> 01:28:31.437
Just pure quality all the way.

1833
01:28:32.935 --> 01:28:34.803
On the women's side, Alex Parker

1836
01:28:39.106 --> 01:28:41.612
as she had been
throughout the competition.

1837

The third spot for the women

1838
01:28:43.550 --> 01:28:46.386

by Canada's Hattie Kanyo,

1839

Norway's Matilde Garnes,

1840

and now Australia's
Jessica Coughlan.

01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:52.986
Looking at the standings
after event 5,

1842
01:28:53.021 --> 01:28:55.087
we saw Zach Sowder

1843

While the leaderboard
has shifted

1847
01:29:02.998 --> 01:29:04.097
over the three-day weekend,

1848
01:29:04.133 --> 01:29:07.605
the three Americans were still
very close to the top.

1849
01:29:07.640 --> 01:29:10.641
In the team competition,
the top three contenders

1850
01:29:10.676 --> 01:29:14.480
going into the weekend...
Sweden, Norway, and the USA...

Had now been joined
by podium hopefuls

1852
01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:19.650
Canada, Russia, and Brazil.

1853
01:29:19.685 --> 01:29:21.454

1857
01:29:25.460 --> 01:29:26.723
in the endurance test

1858
01:29:26.758 --> 01:29:28.428

1859
01:29:28.463 --> 01:29:29.759
the bronze medal.

1860
01:29:29.794 --> 01:29:33.433
♪

1861
01:29:33.468 --> 01:29:36.568
Before the final test,
athletes' nerves were tense

1862
01:29:36.603 --> 01:29:39.131
as they strategized
how to approach the shortest

1863
01:29:39.166 --> 01:29:42.508
and most decisive
of the six tests.

1864
01:29:42.543 --> 01:29:44.103
The first time I did it, I...

1865
01:29:44.138 --> 01:29:46.578
You do realize I do 20 unbroken
thrusters before that

1866
01:29:46.613 --> 01:29:47.613
at 100 pounds, right?

1867
01:29:47.648 --> 01:29:50.549
Yeah, I mean,
I'm gonna do the same workout.

1868
01:29:50.584 --> 01:29:51.913
- Before it?
- Huh?

1869
01:29:51.948 --> 01:29:53.684
- Before it?
- Yeah.

1870
01:29:55.853 --> 01:29:57.622
I thought it was the other way.

1871
01:29:57.657 --> 01:29:59.624
I was with you,
but now I'm with him.

1872
01:30:01.925 --> 01:30:03.727
The last time I did, like...

1873
01:30:03.762 --> 01:30:05.927
I didn't do any thrusters
before, but I just had like

1874
01:30:05.962 --> 01:30:08.435
multiple sets
of like 20-cals, 20 burpees,

1875
01:30:08.470 --> 01:30:11.163
and it was like hold
between 1500 and 1600

1876
01:30:11.198 --> 01:30:13.836
and I couldn't
for the last like 5 calories

1877
01:30:13.871 --> 01:30:15.970
without doing thrusters.

1878
01:30:16.005 --> 01:30:16.837
It'll be close.

1879
01:30:16.873 --> 01:30:19.072
You're gonna have
that adrenaline.

1880
01:30:19.107 --> 01:30:21.646
The atmosphere
will do it for you.

1881
01:30:21.681 --> 01:30:23.714
"I was with you,
but now I'm with him."

1882
01:30:25.014 --> 01:30:28.653
The power test is
exactly what it says it is:

1883
01:30:28.688 --> 01:30:32.789
really nasty, painful,
short-duration power.

1884
01:30:32.824 --> 01:30:35.121
This test represents
the latest development

1885
01:30:35.156 --> 01:30:37.123
in the sport, putting together

1886
01:30:37.158 --> 01:30:40.225
all three fundamental elements
of functional fitness...

1887
01:30:40.260 --> 01:30:42.700
Endurance, strength,
and bodyweight...

1888
01:30:42.735 --> 01:30:45.736
Into a short and brutal sprint.

1889
01:30:45.771 --> 01:30:48.607
This is fitness racing.

1890
01:30:48.642 --> 01:30:50.136
For the individual athletes,

1891
01:30:50.171 --> 01:30:51.544
this test involves

1892
01:30:51.579 --> 01:30:53.073
three elements performed

1893
01:30:53.108 --> 01:30:54.646
in rapid-fire sequence.

1894
01:30:54.681 --> 01:30:57.550
Twenty thrusters at 150 pounds,

1895
01:30:57.585 --> 01:30:59.717
then 20-calorie row,

1896
01:30:59.752 --> 01:31:01.983
which I'm gonna row really fast,

1897
01:31:02.018 --> 01:31:03.985
and then 20 bar-facing burpees.

1898
01:31:04.020 --> 01:31:06.218
Just gonna crush that one
and go from there.

1899
01:31:06.253 --> 01:31:07.890
With a three-minute time cap,

1900
01:31:07.925 --> 01:31:10.156
athletes could go all out
on this test.

1901
01:31:10.191 --> 01:31:13.093
It's one of those events
that, the shorter it is,

1902
01:31:13.128 --> 01:31:15.502
the more it's gonna hurt,
so, you know,

1903
01:31:15.537 --> 01:31:17.636
you've just gotta hold on,
close those eyes,

1904
01:31:17.671 --> 01:31:20.100
and it will be over
in sub-three minutes,

1905
01:31:20.135 --> 01:31:22.938
because that's the cap,
you don't have a choice.

1906
01:31:22.973 --> 01:31:25.611
Their dominant performances
over the weekend

1907
01:31:25.646 --> 01:31:28.680
all but assured that Alex Parker
and Jordan Adcock

1908
01:31:28.715 --> 01:31:30.748
would take the gold
and silver medals,

1909
01:31:30.783 --> 01:31:32.915
but the bronze medal
at this point

1910
01:31:32.950 --> 01:31:35.522
was closely contested
by three women:

1911
01:31:35.557 --> 01:31:39.526
Hattie Kanyo, Jessica Coughlan,
and Matilde Garnes.

1912
01:31:39.561 --> 01:31:41.286
The competition in heat 3

1913
01:31:41.321 --> 01:31:42.628
set the standard

1914
01:31:42.663 --> 01:31:44.597
with 4 of the top 10 times

1915
01:31:44.632 --> 01:31:46.896
for test 6 coming in this heat.

1916
01:31:46.931 --> 01:31:48.964
The women in heat 3
were all ranked

1917
01:31:48.999 --> 01:31:51.967
between 9th and 16th
going into the final test,

1918
01:31:52.002 --> 01:31:53.804
which meant none of them
had the potential

1919
01:31:53.839 --> 01:31:54.972
to reach the podium,

1920
01:31:55.007 --> 01:31:58.611
but they could still give
this test their full effort,

1921
01:31:58.646 --> 01:32:01.075
make a name for themselves,
and potentially serve

1922
01:32:01.110 --> 01:32:04.111
as spoilers
for the championship heat.

1923
01:32:04.146 --> 01:32:05.915
One minute to go.

Hand up for Nathalia

Two more to go for Nathalia,
one more.

1926
01:32:15.124 --> 01:32:19.093
And a win in this heat
for Nathalia Mencari Vieira.

1927
01:32:19.128 --> 01:32:22.833
Brazil's Nathalia Mencari Vieira
thrilled everyone in the arena

1928
01:32:22.868 --> 01:32:25.869
by winning heat 3
with a full 15-second lead

1973

Big round of applause
for these fantastic ladies.

1974
01:35:00.322 --> 01:35:04.060
That was their last test
for this weekend.

1975
01:35:04.095 --> 01:35:06.128
So, final event,
which was power,

1976
01:35:06.163 --> 01:35:08.262
it was 20 thrusters, 20-cal row,

1977
01:35:08.297 --> 01:35:10.396
and 20 bar-facing burpees.

1978
01:35:10.431 --> 01:35:13.201
I finished the thrusters first,
we both got on the rower,

1979
01:35:13.236 --> 01:35:14.313
she got off the rower before me,

1980
01:35:14.337 --> 01:35:16.743
and then, so of course,
she was a little bit ahead

1981
01:35:16.778 --> 01:35:18.316
on the burpees,
but I started to realize

1982
01:35:18.340 --> 01:35:20.109
that I was kind of catching her
on the pace,

1983
01:35:20.144 --> 01:35:23.079
so towards the very end,
we were pretty much synchronized

1984
01:35:23.114 --> 01:35:25.785
and I jumped over the bar,
went to go for her buzzer,

1985
01:35:25.820 --> 01:35:27.787
and then realized
it was the wrong one, hit mine,

1986
01:35:27.822 --> 01:35:29.855
so she ended up beating me
on that event

1987
01:35:29.890 --> 01:35:32.451
by a split second
because of an error.

1988
01:35:32.486 --> 01:35:36.422
Alex Parker
just before Jordan Adcock.

1989
01:35:36.457 --> 01:35:38.963
The overall winner of test 6
was actually

1990
01:35:38.998 --> 01:35:41.933
Nathalia Mencari Vieira
from Brazil

1991
01:35:41.968 --> 01:35:44.298

1992
01:35:44.333 --> 01:35:48.335
could not even be beat
by the dominant Alex Parker.

1993
01:35:48.370 --> 01:35:51.272
Though she didn't make it
onto the podium this year,

1994
01:35:51.307 --> 01:35:54.308
her first-place finishes
in the strength and power tests

1995
01:35:54.343 --> 01:35:56.409
made her a memorable competitor.

1996
01:35:56.444 --> 01:35:57.542

2040

Ioannis Papadopoulos's
impressive time

2041
01:38:02.570 --> 01:38:05.010
of 1:56 in the previous heat

2042
01:38:05.045 --> 01:38:07.980
was enough to earn him
second place in this event.

2043
01:38:08.015 --> 01:38:09.916
Unfortunately,
this was not enough

2044
01:38:09.951 --> 01:38:11.984
to make up for some
of his poorer finishes

2045
01:38:12.019 --> 01:38:13.249
in earlier events,

2046
01:38:13.284 --> 01:38:14.514

2047
01:38:14.549 --> 01:38:17.187
the top 5 overall.

2048
01:38:17.222 --> 01:38:20.091
For the teams,
test 6 was also known

2049
01:38:20.126 --> 01:38:22.060
as mixed relay 2.

2050
01:38:22.095 --> 01:38:24.623
The first task
of each round was a row,

2051
01:38:24.658 --> 01:38:28.264
30 calories for the men
and 20 calories for the women.

2052
01:38:28.299 --> 01:38:30.464
The second task was thrusters

2053
01:38:30.499 --> 01:38:32.565
performed using a worm.

2054
01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:36.008
The worm is essentially
a long sandbag or ruck bag

2055
01:38:36.043 --> 01:38:38.109
weighing about 350 pounds

2056
01:38:38.144 --> 01:38:40.573
that required all four teammates
to lift.

2057
01:38:40.608 --> 01:38:43.576
After completing 15 reps
of the worm thrusters,

2058
01:38:43.611 --> 01:38:46.513
the teams would return to
their rowers for another round.

2059
01:38:46.548 --> 01:38:51.419
The entire test was a very short
and very painful fitness race.

2060
01:38:51.454 --> 01:38:53.058
The dominant Norwegian team

2061
01:38:53.093 --> 01:38:54.191
could not be touched.

2062
01:38:54.226 --> 01:38:55.226
Like Alex Parker

2063
01:38:55.260 --> 01:38:56.292

2064
01:38:56.327 --> 01:38:57.293

2066
01:38:58.494 --> 01:39:00.131
guaranteed they would win gold

2067
01:39:00.166 --> 01:39:02.067
this weekend.

2068
01:39:02.102 --> 01:39:03.102
It was assumed

2069
01:39:03.136 --> 01:39:04.136
that the silver medal

2070
01:39:04.170 --> 01:39:05.235
would go to Canada.

2071
01:39:05.270 --> 01:39:06.632
In fact, they would have to do

2072
01:39:06.667 --> 01:39:09.239
very poorly in order to lose it.

2073
01:39:09.274 --> 01:39:11.109
♪

2074
01:39:11.144 --> 01:39:13.210
The bronze, however,
was contested

2075
01:39:13.245 --> 01:39:17.082
between Sweden, the USA,
Russia, and Brazil.

2076
01:39:17.117 --> 01:39:18.446
The action really began

2077
01:39:18.481 --> 01:39:20.052
in heat 2.

2078
01:39:20.087 --> 01:39:22.087
Go!

2079
01:39:22.122 --> 01:39:26.190
It is an open spot
for the bronze medal today.

2080
01:39:26.225 --> 01:39:29.556
Those teams who has the chance
to take the bronze medal.

2081
01:39:29.591 --> 01:39:33.494
In this heat,
it is Sweden and Brazil.

2082
01:39:33.529 --> 01:39:39.533
And in the upcoming heat,
it is United States and Russia.

2083
01:39:39.568 --> 01:39:43.636
The team getting the best score
of those four

2084
01:39:43.671 --> 01:39:46.210
will take
the bronze medal today.

2085
01:39:46.245 --> 01:39:50.379
Final reps for Sweden on lane 3.

2086
01:39:50.414 --> 01:39:54.119
And it is Sweden taking
the lead in this heat!

2087
01:39:54.154 --> 01:39:56.616
Back on the rower
for the second time.

2088
01:39:56.651 --> 01:40:00.389
And it is Sweden
back on the floor in the lead.

2089
01:40:00.424 --> 01:40:04.657
Final 15 worm thrusters
for Sweden.

2090
01:40:04.692 --> 01:40:08.298
Sweden, who has the chance
to take the bronze medal today,

2091
01:40:08.333 --> 01:40:11.334
but they also need to be quicker
than the United States

2092
01:40:11.369 --> 01:40:13.435
and Russia in the next heat.

2093
01:40:13.470 --> 01:40:15.371
So they need to pick up
the pace.

2094
01:40:15.406 --> 01:40:17.670
Final reps for Sweden.

2095
01:40:17.705 --> 01:40:20.673
And they are done,
and finished for Sweden,

2096
01:40:20.708 --> 01:40:24.578
taking this heat win.

2097
01:40:24.613 --> 01:40:27.416
If Russia or the USA
could beat this time

2098
01:40:27.451 --> 01:40:28.483
in the next heat,

2099
01:40:28.518 --> 01:40:29.550
they'd knock Sweden

2100
01:40:29.585 --> 01:40:31.123
off that podium position

2101
01:40:31.158 --> 01:40:32.322
and claim the bronze

2102
01:40:32.357 --> 01:40:33.323
for themselves.

2103
01:40:33.358 --> 01:40:34.555
Go!

2104
01:40:36.658 --> 01:40:40.528
It is the final heat
of the final test

2105
01:40:40.563 --> 01:40:42.332
of this whole weekend.

2106
01:40:42.367 --> 01:40:45.203
And going in today,
we had Russia on third place,

2107
01:40:45.238 --> 01:40:49.339
but it's an open spot
for the third place right now.

2108
01:40:49.374 --> 01:40:53.475
Is it gonna be Sweden,
Russia, or United States

2109
01:40:53.510 --> 01:40:55.543
on the bronze today?

2110
01:40:55.578 --> 01:40:58.282
In the lead, we have Norway,

2111
01:40:58.317 --> 01:41:01.318
first one on the worm.

2112
01:41:01.353 --> 01:41:05.322
The first round
of 15 worm thrusters.

2113
01:41:05.357 --> 01:41:09.854
Followed by Russia
and United States.

2114
01:41:09.889 --> 01:41:13.264
Now also Canada
done with their rowing

2115
01:41:13.299 --> 01:41:16.465
and on their first
15 worm thrusters.

2116
01:41:16.500 --> 01:41:21.239
Final reps for Norway
on their worm thrusters.

2117
01:41:21.274 --> 01:41:24.869
And it is Norway in the lead
back on the rower.

2118
01:41:24.904 --> 01:41:28.279
Second round on the rower
for Norway in the lead

2119
01:41:28.314 --> 01:41:31.282
at lane 4.

2120
01:41:31.317 --> 01:41:36.320
Second place,
we have United States on lane 1,

2121
01:41:36.355 --> 01:41:39.620
back on the rower.

2122
01:41:39.655 --> 01:41:42.755
We are two minutes
into this workout.

2123
01:41:42.790 --> 01:41:45.164
It is Norway in the lead.

2124
01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:48.629
Second is United States
on lane 1,

2125
01:41:48.664 --> 01:41:51.566
followed by both Russia
and Canada on third place.

2126
01:41:51.601 --> 01:41:54.734
Final 15 worm thrusters
for Norway

2127
01:41:54.769 --> 01:41:58.144
to take this heat win
and the gold medal.

2128
01:41:58.179 --> 01:42:01.807
Final calories now
for United States at lane 1.

2129
01:42:01.842 --> 01:42:04.645
And we have
the final worm thrusters now

2130
01:42:04.680 --> 01:42:07.450
for Norway at lane 4.

2131
01:42:09.784 --> 01:42:11.553
It is...

2132
01:42:11.588 --> 01:42:16.624
It is United States on
their final 15 worm thrusters.

2133
01:42:16.659 --> 01:42:20.595
Now also Russia and Canada
are picking up their worm.

2134
01:42:20.630 --> 01:42:25.204
Norway taking this heat win
and final five...

2135
01:42:25.239 --> 01:42:29.175
Final thrusters
for United States.

2136
01:42:29.210 --> 01:42:31.540
One more.

2137
01:42:31.575 --> 01:42:33.542
And there we have United States,

2138
01:42:33.577 --> 01:42:36.314
second place in this heat.

2139
01:42:37.977 --> 01:42:40.549
Third place, we have Canada.

2140
01:42:40.584 --> 01:42:44.883
Final worm thrusters
for Canada on lane 3.

2141
01:42:44.918 --> 01:42:49.492
Hand goes up for lane 2, Russia.

2142
01:42:49.527 --> 01:42:52.957
And there we have
a finish for Canada,

2143
01:42:52.992 --> 01:42:56.532
taking third place in this heat.

2144
01:42:56.567 --> 01:43:01.768
And we have two more to go
for Russia on lane 2.

2145
01:43:01.803 --> 01:43:03.506
♪

2146
01:43:03.541 --> 01:43:05.706
And they are done,

2147
01:43:05.741 --> 01:43:08.709
and finished for Russia.

2148
01:43:10.911 --> 01:43:14.979
The USA came across
a mere 19 seconds behind Norway,

2149
01:43:15.014 --> 01:43:18.884
but in this short test,
19 seconds was a lot.

2150
01:43:18.919 --> 01:43:21.326
While they were pleased
with their performance,

2151
01:43:21.361 --> 01:43:25.330
they didn't realize it was
13 seconds slower than Sweden,

2152
01:43:25.365 --> 01:43:27.794
enough to put them
in third place in this test

2153
01:43:27.829 --> 01:43:29.796
and dash their hopes
of the podium.

2154
01:43:29.831 --> 01:43:31.732
Canada finished next,

2155
01:43:31.767 --> 01:43:33.338
coming in 18 seconds

2156
01:43:33.373 --> 01:43:34.768
behind the USA.

2157
01:43:34.803 --> 01:43:36.374
This put them in fifth place

2158
01:43:36.409 --> 01:43:37.771
for the test, but because

2159
01:43:37.806 --> 01:43:39.278
of their superior performance

2160
01:43:39.313 --> 01:43:40.313
in the previous tests

2161
01:43:40.347 --> 01:43:41.347
of the weekend,

2162
01:43:41.381 --> 01:43:43.315
their silver medal podium spot

2163
01:43:43.350 --> 01:43:44.382
was secure.

2164
01:43:44.417 --> 01:43:46.318
It is time

2165
01:43:46.353 --> 01:43:49.981
to see who are
the world champions, 2019.

2166
01:43:50.016 --> 01:43:52.588
In the final standings,
it was Canada's Alex Parker

2167
01:43:52.623 --> 01:43:57.659
who took the win with 570
out of 600 possible points.

2168
01:44:03.964 --> 01:44:06.437
Taking first place
in three events

2169
01:44:06.472 --> 01:44:08.604
and second place in two others,

2170
01:44:08.639 --> 01:44:12.608
she was essentially untouchable
over the entire weekend.

2171
01:44:12.643 --> 01:44:14.313
It was a good weekend,
I kinda came in

2172
01:44:14.348 --> 01:44:15.809
with no expectations

2173
01:44:15.844 --> 01:44:17.448
because I had no idea who I was

2174
01:44:17.483 --> 01:44:18.682
gonna be competing against.

2175
01:44:18.718 --> 01:44:22.387
I knew some of the U.S. team
and some of the Canadian team,

2176
01:44:22.422 --> 01:44:23.630
I've competed
against them before,

2177
01:44:23.654 --> 01:44:25.291
but I didn't know
who was gonna be here

2178
01:44:25.326 --> 01:44:29.526
from other countries
like Sweden or Norway,

2179
01:44:29.561 --> 01:44:32.595
so I just kinda went in
just trying to do

2180
01:44:32.630 --> 01:44:34.432
as best as I could
in each event,

2181
01:44:34.467 --> 01:44:38.029
and I did that, so I ended up
getting first place,

2182
01:44:38.064 --> 01:44:41.373
which was... which I'm happy with.

2183
01:44:41.408 --> 01:44:43.001
Joining Parker on the podium

2184
01:44:43.036 --> 01:44:46.070
were her rival, Jordan Adcock,
in second place,

2185
01:44:46.105 --> 01:44:49.348
as well as Norway's
Matilde Garnes in third.

2186
01:44:49.383 --> 01:44:50.580
She edged me out

2187
01:44:50.615 --> 01:44:51.812
for the majority

2188
01:44:51.847 --> 01:44:53.011
of the events, I would say,

2189
01:44:53.046 --> 01:44:54.386
but it was kinda back and forth,

2190
01:44:54.421 --> 01:44:55.387
back and forth,

2191
01:44:55.422 --> 01:44:56.288
throughout each event.

2192
01:44:56.323 --> 01:44:58.621
So overall I ended up finishing
in second.

2193
01:44:58.656 --> 01:45:00.051
Pleased with that,
but of course,

2194
01:45:00.086 --> 01:45:02.053
always wanting to get
to that top spot.

2195
01:45:02.088 --> 01:45:04.561
While all three
of the U.S. men's competitors

2196
01:45:04.596 --> 01:45:06.398
made a strong showing
over the weekend,

2197
01:45:06.433 --> 01:45:10.061
it was Zach Sowder
who pulled off the victory.

2198
01:45:16.102 --> 01:45:17.068
It feels good to win.

2199
01:45:17.103 --> 01:45:18.971
It was just really stressful.

2200
01:45:19.006 --> 01:45:20.643
It was very fun and exciting,

2201
01:45:20.678 --> 01:45:22.480
but like, it's almost like,

2202
01:45:22.515 --> 01:45:24.779
glad that's over, it's a relief.

2203
01:45:24.814 --> 01:45:25.958
You kinda sit there and like,

2204
01:45:25.982 --> 01:45:28.816
you're in a little bit
of like pain from the workout,

2205
01:45:28.851 --> 01:45:31.423
but you're just like
just sweating, breathing hard,

2206
01:45:31.458 --> 01:45:34.657
and like, man, I'm glad
it happened how it happened.

2207
01:45:34.692 --> 01:45:37.693
There was two points
separating me and Khan Porter

2208
01:45:37.728 --> 01:45:40.058
for first place,
and so it was like

2209
01:45:40.093 --> 01:45:42.797
literally whoever won out of us
would win the competition,

2210
01:45:42.832 --> 01:45:46.438
and the workout literally was
a minute and like 50 seconds.

2211
01:45:46.473 --> 01:45:49.100
So just all-out, empty the tank,

2212
01:45:49.135 --> 01:45:50.970
hold nothing back,
see what happens.

2213
01:45:51.005 --> 01:45:53.940
So we both did that and finished
like maybe five seconds apart,

2214
01:45:53.975 --> 01:45:57.482
but I was able to edge him out
and take the victory.

2215
01:45:57.517 --> 01:46:00.078
Last year I came into this thing
and I was like hoping,

2216
01:46:00.113 --> 01:46:01.816
if everything went right,
I would win,

2217
01:46:01.851 --> 01:46:03.719
but I came off
with like a fifth-place finish.

2218
01:46:03.754 --> 01:46:06.656
So, kind of all year,
I've been ready for this event

2219
01:46:06.691 --> 01:46:08.625
to kinda get
a little bit of redemption,

2220
01:46:08.660 --> 01:46:10.891
so it was nice
to come back and do it.

2221
01:46:10.926 --> 01:46:14.125
While Matt Dlugos and Zach Watts
didn't make the podium,

2222
01:46:14.160 --> 01:46:16.633
they made a strong showing
at this year's Worlds

2223
01:46:16.668 --> 01:46:18.602
and they'd be back again
in the future

2224
01:46:18.637 --> 01:46:20.131
to give it another shot.

2225
01:46:20.166 --> 01:46:22.001
♪

2226
01:46:22.036 --> 01:46:24.003
Sowder was joined on the podium

2227
01:46:24.038 --> 01:46:27.842
by Latvia's Uldis Upenieks
and Khan Porter from Australia.

2228
01:46:27.877 --> 01:46:29.580
I took second place overall,

2229
01:46:29.615 --> 01:46:30.581
which was,

2230
01:46:30.616 --> 01:46:31.912
yeah, really, really...

2231
01:46:31.947 --> 01:46:33.595
Something I was really,
really pumped about,

2232
01:46:33.619 --> 01:46:35.685
bit surprised about,
if I'm being completely honest.

2233
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:38.688
I think that the leaderboard
changed a hell of a lot

2234
01:46:38.723 --> 01:46:39.887
all throughout the weekend.

2235
01:46:39.922 --> 01:46:41.922
I think I sorta sat...

2236
01:46:41.957 --> 01:46:44.562
I think the lowest I sat
was around fourth.

2237
01:46:44.597 --> 01:46:47.092
I think I was in third
most of the weekend,

2238
01:46:47.127 --> 01:46:48.929
sorta sitting around
that third-place mark,

2239
01:46:48.964 --> 01:46:50.469
and then it was
only this morning

2240
01:46:50.504 --> 01:46:51.800
that I moved up into second.

2241
01:46:51.835 --> 01:46:53.835
There were a bunch of guys
that were in the mix

2242
01:46:53.870 --> 01:46:55.100
for quite some time.

2243
01:46:55.135 --> 01:46:57.575
With their first-place finish
in test 6,

2244
01:46:57.610 --> 01:46:59.643
the Norwegians sealed the deal.

2245
01:46:59.678 --> 01:47:01.546
Four first-place finishes,

2246
01:47:01.581 --> 01:47:03.614
one second, and one fifth

2247
01:47:03.649 --> 01:47:06.650
had them at 537 total points,

2248
01:47:06.685 --> 01:47:08.916
more than 150 points ahead

2249
01:47:08.951 --> 01:47:11.083
of the second-place team.

2250
01:47:11.118 --> 01:47:13.492
And in Norway's team,

2251
01:47:13.527 --> 01:47:17.562
we have Ingrid Hodnemyr,
Lena Amalia Richter,

2252
01:47:17.597 --> 01:47:22.699
Morten Rasch Arnesen,
and Sigleif Myklebust Ravnestad.

2253
01:47:24.901 --> 01:47:26.934
The Canadians joined them
on the podium

2254
01:47:26.969 --> 01:47:28.705
with 380 points.

2255
01:47:28.740 --> 01:47:30.608
And from Canada, we have

2256
01:47:30.643 --> 01:47:32.973
Jake Hansen, Lynsey Martin,

2257
01:47:33.008 --> 01:47:37.681
Ryan Tomiyama,
and Shaundra Bruvall.

2258
01:47:37.716 --> 01:47:39.881
Sweden took
the third-place position,

2259
01:47:39.916 --> 01:47:41.113
edging out the USA

2260
01:47:41.148 --> 01:47:42.950
by a mere five points.

2261
01:47:42.985 --> 01:47:44.622
And Sweden's team is

2262
01:47:44.657 --> 01:47:46.085
Angelica Bengtsson,

2263
01:47:46.120 --> 01:47:47.218
Charlie Karlsson,

2264
01:47:47.253 --> 01:47:49.055
,

2265
01:47:49.090 --> 01:47:51.629
Zanna Björnson.

2266
01:47:51.664 --> 01:47:55.127
Despite the historic dominance
of Americans in this sport,

2267
01:47:55.162 --> 01:47:57.096
the Scandinavian teams
had exerted

2268
01:47:57.131 --> 01:48:00.869
their home-team advantage
this year and ruled the weekend.

2269
01:48:07.680 --> 01:48:09.515
It was obviously
a successful weekend.

2270
01:48:09.550 --> 01:48:11.242
I think we left
a few medals out there,

2271
01:48:11.277 --> 01:48:14.278
but it's something
to work forward... work towards

2272
01:48:14.313 --> 01:48:17.050
in the future, and I'm excited
to be a part of it.

2273
01:48:17.085 --> 01:48:21.219
On the women's side,
we had Jordan Adcock,

2274
01:48:21.254 --> 01:48:23.925
who is... she's a heck
of an athlete.

2275
01:48:23.960 --> 01:48:27.060
I think she's only gonna get
better, she's very young.

2276
01:48:27.095 --> 01:48:29.700
She finishes with a silver medal

2277
01:48:29.735 --> 01:48:30.965
and very proud of her.

2278
01:48:31.000 --> 01:48:33.066
She was fantastic all weekend.

2279
01:48:33.101 --> 01:48:35.233
Really pushed for that gold

2280
01:48:35.268 --> 01:48:37.301
and just came up
a little bit short.

2281
01:48:37.336 --> 01:48:40.645
It was a great competition
on the men's side.

2282
01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:43.813
All three of our male
individuals were fantastic.

2283
01:48:43.848 --> 01:48:47.047
Matt Dlugos finished fourth,

2284
01:48:47.082 --> 01:48:49.247
but honestly, he was fantastic.

2285
01:48:49.282 --> 01:48:52.756
He was our national champion.

2286
01:48:52.791 --> 01:48:54.087
He's also 6'4",

2287
01:48:54.122 --> 01:48:57.860
and a few of the tests here

2288
01:48:57.895 --> 01:49:01.930
were very challenging
for a guy his size,

2289
01:49:01.965 --> 01:49:04.229
and he really performed
phenomenally

2290
01:49:04.264 --> 01:49:06.165
against world-class competition.

2291
01:49:06.200 --> 01:49:08.739
And Zach Watts, who's, you know,

2292
01:49:08.774 --> 01:49:10.048
just a young buck, man, he's got

2293
01:49:10.072 --> 01:49:11.203
all the talent in the world,

2294
01:49:11.238 --> 01:49:12.644
he's just gonna get better,

2295
01:49:12.679 --> 01:49:14.239
and he also had a top-10 finish,

2296
01:49:14.274 --> 01:49:15.878
so really, really happy

2297
01:49:15.913 --> 01:49:16.879
about how

2298
01:49:16.914 --> 01:49:18.617
the individual males competed.

2299
01:49:18.652 --> 01:49:22.082
The team this year
was a little bit of a mixed bag.

2300
01:49:22.117 --> 01:49:24.590
I think we were sitting
in second after day 1,

2301
01:49:24.625 --> 01:49:27.659
just a few points off
out of the gold medal spot,

2302
01:49:27.694 --> 01:49:28.759
and then yesterday,

2303
01:49:28.794 --> 01:49:29.760
unfortunately,

2304
01:49:29.795 --> 01:49:31.894
the bodyweight tests

2305
01:49:31.929 --> 01:49:33.357
were a big challenge,

2306
01:49:33.392 --> 01:49:34.963
and today we had to fight

2307
01:49:34.998 --> 01:49:37.669
our way back, and we almost did.

2308
01:49:37.704 --> 01:49:38.934
We finished in fourth.

2309
01:49:38.969 --> 01:49:40.672
We finished, I believe,

2310
01:49:40.707 --> 01:49:42.135
five points off the podium.

2311
01:49:42.170 --> 01:49:44.907
You know, I'm a sucker
for team competitions,

2312
01:49:44.942 --> 01:49:46.744
so that one hurts
a little bit, honestly.

2313
01:49:46.779 --> 01:49:48.108
I don't think the United States

2314
01:49:48.143 --> 01:49:50.341
should ever finish fourth
in a competition.

2315
01:49:50.376 --> 01:49:51.749
It's unacceptable.

2316
01:49:51.784 --> 01:49:53.652
So I blame myself for that,

2317
01:49:53.687 --> 01:49:55.852
and I think we've just got
to get better.

2318
01:49:55.887 --> 01:49:59.218
We've gotta work harder
and next year come back,

2319
01:49:59.253 --> 01:50:02.287
but it's unacceptable
to finish off the podium

2320
01:50:02.322 --> 01:50:03.322
for the United States.

2321
01:50:03.356 --> 01:50:04.861
We've got too good athletes,

2322
01:50:04.896 --> 01:50:07.897
and so, for next year,

2323
01:50:07.932 --> 01:50:09.965
it's just something to push for.

2324
01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:13.804
We have one more award tonight,

2325
01:50:13.839 --> 01:50:18.237
and that award goes
to our best nation:

2326
01:50:18.272 --> 01:50:20.371
United States!

2327
01:50:23.244 --> 01:50:24.980
In the final standings,

2328
01:50:25.015 --> 01:50:28.214
we had one male individual
on the podium

2329
01:50:28.249 --> 01:50:30.051
who finished with a gold medal,

2330
01:50:30.086 --> 01:50:34.418
we had one female who finished
with a silver medal,

2331
01:50:34.453 --> 01:50:37.190
and the team finished
in fourth place.

2332
01:50:37.225 --> 01:50:40.061
So overall, we had
two overall medals,

2333
01:50:40.096 --> 01:50:43.427
but I believe because we had
two fourth-place finishers

2334
01:50:43.462 --> 01:50:46.331
on the male individual side
and the team side,

2335
01:50:46.366 --> 01:50:49.367
that that pushed us
to the forefront

2336
01:50:49.402 --> 01:50:51.908
as far as the lead nation
with medals.

2337
01:50:51.943 --> 01:50:53.041
I believe we tied Canada,

2338
01:50:53.076 --> 01:50:56.407
but because we had
better finishes,

2339
01:50:56.442 --> 01:50:59.344
that we ended up
as the top nation overall,

2340
01:50:59.379 --> 01:51:01.687
which is obviously great,
I'm very proud of that,

2341
01:51:01.722 --> 01:51:05.053
and hopefully we can continue
that for years to come.

2342
01:51:05.088 --> 01:51:07.924
It's really cool, like,
we were talking earlier,

2343
01:51:07.959 --> 01:51:10.762
like, it's cool to compete
and win for yourself,

2344
01:51:10.797 --> 01:51:13.930
but like, all weekend,
I've been wearing that USA shirt

2345
01:51:13.965 --> 01:51:16.097
and we traveled together,
rooting on each other,

2346
01:51:16.132 --> 01:51:18.462
so you really...
It's bigger than yourself.

2347
01:51:18.497 --> 01:51:22.004
We got that gold medal,
so it means a lot more

2348
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:23.973
than just going
to a random competition

2349
01:51:24.008 --> 01:51:25.777
and then winning it
for yourself.

2350
01:51:25.812 --> 01:51:28.373
So, yeah, hopefully just
every year I'm competing

2351
01:51:28.408 --> 01:51:31.376
in fitness, this will be one
that's on the calendar for sure.

2352
01:51:31.411 --> 01:51:37.987
It's cool that I won the Worlds
in a growing sport.

2353
01:51:38.022 --> 01:51:42.222
I like to support sport
in all ways,

2354
01:51:42.257 --> 01:51:46.127
and, like, coming in first

2355
01:51:46.162 --> 01:51:50.494
makes the weekend better than
it could've been, so it's good.

2356
01:51:50.529 --> 01:51:54.201
I care a lot about the growth
of an athlete

2357
01:51:54.236 --> 01:51:56.401
and a coach in this sport,

2358
01:51:56.436 --> 01:52:00.746
and that's one of the biggest
emotional pushers for me

2359
01:52:00.781 --> 01:52:05.047
is to have a place and a home
for these coaches to grow

2360
01:52:05.082 --> 01:52:08.050
and for these athletes
to attach to

2361
01:52:08.085 --> 01:52:11.922
and be really excited
about, you know,

2362
01:52:11.957 --> 01:52:17.059
things like wearing
the Olympic country jacket.

2363
01:52:17.094 --> 01:52:19.193
You know,
that gives me goosebumps.

2364
01:52:19.228 --> 01:52:24.033
We've seen tons of growth
very quickly.

2365
01:52:24.068 --> 01:52:27.234
I think probably beyond
anything I would've expected

2366
01:52:27.269 --> 01:52:29.775
back in 2016 when I started.

2367
01:52:29.810 --> 01:52:32.173
Everybody's in it
for the right reasons.

2368
01:52:32.208 --> 01:52:33.779
They want to grow the sport,

2369
01:52:33.814 --> 01:52:35.385
they want to make it better
for the athletes,

2370
01:52:35.409 --> 01:52:37.948
they want to make it better
for the coaches and, you know,

2371
01:52:37.983 --> 01:52:40.379
the officials on the floor.

2372
01:52:40.414 --> 01:52:42.150
Nobody's here because they think

2373
01:52:42.185 --> 01:52:44.383
they're gonna become rich
doing this.

2374
01:52:44.418 --> 01:52:46.484
Everybody is here
because they genuinely care

2375
01:52:46.519 --> 01:52:49.454
about the sport
and they want to do...

2376
01:52:49.489 --> 01:52:51.456
They want to see it succeed
and grow

2377
01:52:51.491 --> 01:52:54.030
and be around
for a really long time.
