2x Crossfit Games champion, Katrin Davidsdottir Gets Real About Body Image |  

she’s so beautiful inside and out

Katrin, your a gorgeous and should change nothing about yourself for others. What an honest and quality person you are and its so inspiring to hear your story!

Thanks so much for this. I really needed to hear it. I don't feel so alone. I've just never understood why it isn't ok to make comments about a fat person, yet it seems to be perfectly ok for random strangers to criticize my height, like there is something I can do about it. I'm six feet tall and big shoulders. I love going to the gym. I should be proud of myself more instead of getting upset everytime someone calls me sir or makes some other ride comment. Thanks again for this great video.

I have been blamed for years for my body, since I was a pre-teen. For being too V-shaped, too muscular (especially during my years as a swimmer and then a kickboxer) and when I quoted names of famous athletes looking like me the reply was:"They are professionals. They are supposed to look like that. U are not. U are an ordinary female, u are no athlete, so don't be like that cause it's horrible.". There was a time I stopped and tried to fit the roles I was given without succeeding. It was the worst time of my life, and the one that scarred me forever. I am a crossfitter nowadays and after two years of training I'm getting back that muscular athletic version of me. And I won't stop. I'm finally happy to be in the right place and to be looked at as an example of hard work and dedication. There are still people out there bodyshaming me but I'm confident enough now to know what I want from my body. Don't worry Katrin. People will always always find something in u to complain about but your opinion is what matters.

Who else saw Katrin in the tumbnail and clicked without even looking at the title... cause same

This is such an important discussion.. soooo powerful to have Katrin tell it.

Do you want to hear from another Crossfit athlete? Let us know who you want to hear from next time!

her English is unreal compared to the fact that Icelandic is soooo super hard and different pronunciation wise

I think she is glorious no matter what shape she is. It's the dedication

Go for it Katrin! Such a good athlete! With the body of an athlete! Nothing more to say!

So nicely done Ms. Davidsdottir.

Very honest and reflected speech, Katrin!

Keep up the awesome work, training, etc. Don’t ever let someone tell you what you should be or look like.

I just think, You are one of the most beautiful person in the world, in every way of meaning of this word! Congratulations!

What’s with the subtitles 🤣 she’s got perfect enunciation!!

You look great, who cares what others think!

True humility here

Brilliant interview. Thank you for discussing this.

Thumbs-UP #7 I am, oh yes I am, Sunday 13 October 2019! I REALLY LIKE YOU KATRIN!! You have a great mindset and that makes you exciting, powerful and energizing! Enchanting even! Cheers. 😀

Katrin, you're so inspiring.

Healthy self esteem = When you love yourself as much as you care about what people think of you.

Guess what I don't care what you think that's the attitude you should be walking around with my love. I am a fan and always will be. Enjoy the rest of your day people, whoever you are and where ever you are.

Powerful message!

Boss! Great message!

Perfect interview

Strong as ever isn’t it on the floor then it is with strong words, chin UP Katrin🙌💪👌🏋️‍♀️

Great words of wisdom. Good luck in the Open katrin

Love love love and happiness 💞

I say if you aren’t dating them who cares what if you think they don’t look good. Its their body and there body is shaped that way for a certain reason. Now if there body is reflecting poor health then you can voice your concerns but in a loving way.

Yeeew! Looking good whatever it is!

Preach

where you are right now is where you are supposed to be

Too perfect👌

Awesome athletic ❤

I love this interview.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

🙏🏽

Kudos for your incredible work and titles you won!! But for me competing never made sense...I look shredded 365 days a year just because I love it feeling strong and confident in my Body and not only for one peak occation...I am plantbased, training really hard, injuryfree for years🙏🏽and quite old for this kinda thing haha😝✌🏽💪🏽

It's pure ignorance to think that an athlete's shape is created by their sport where, in truth, their shape has led them to the sport. Katrin is a great example. She left gymnastics because she was simply too big to be elite but found Crossfit where her size combined with her strength made her the best in the world. Of course, the drive to excel must be present, as well. She simply arrived at the perfect intersection of all these factors.

U are so strong and gorgeous u might be able to save the world

You are awesome! I wish there were more women in the world like you! 🐲

❤️❤️❤️

preach!!!! :D :D :D

Absolute legend

beauty

You know the ones who don't say anything to you about your body, they think you are hot

amazon, fucking hot

Struggles with your body? You talking about blown out disks from cat back deadlifts?

#nofilter. Has black and white filter.

Who cares what other people Trinks? Seriously

So sad that she is even in these thought patterns. She's been conditioned to worry. Dang that's too bad! What a gorgeous and bad ass girl! Media and hype are destructors. You're not allowed to get old either! Haha!

You, always, will be too something for other people. Too muscular, too fat, too old, too young, to small, too big, too white, too black...It is better not to care what some strangers think.

*former* CrossFit champion, she hasn’t won since 2016

Why are you posting your insecurities?
