From Rookie Of the Year To A CrossFit Games Podium? Emma Lawson - Full Interview 

18 years old and all ready seeing things for what they are. Really mature and grounded. As an eastern canadian, GO Emma GO!!!!

If she places top 5 this year, her confidence level will sky rocket. Good luck at the games Emma

What a wonderful interview! I’ll be cheering Emma on at the Games🎉

Love Emma! She’s a fucking trooper with a permanent smile on her face!!

Great fun interview!

Ok let’s be clear - she wasn’t “given” the jersey she earned it with her performance! Nice to meet you at UG games Emma! Wish I had gotten a picture with you 😂

This comment is after the games. She is just a fountain of joy and it just bubbles out of her naturally. You can't teach that. I think she has figured out one of the secrets of dealing with all the pressures that come with any sport at an elite level. It is focusing upon doing your very best at that moment and let the results take care of themselves. So often athletes hone in on results and the visualization of being number one that they forget that it's the process and the journey that is important. In a sport where you have no control over what is programmed then just focusing on doing your best is the most successful path in my opinion. It's how you can live with whatever happens.

Reminds me of A. Pichelli at times.

The second place finish at the games proved that she wasn't a fluke. The future looks bright for Emma. If she stays healthy and adds a bit more strength to mitigate the strength component that an athlete like Horvath brings to her overall fitness package then like a Toomey she can compete against anyone. I do believe that she can narrow the gap between her and Laura simply because there is still so much room to grow. Unlike some athletes who find it difficult to amass pure strength, Emma seems like she has a lot of room to grow in that area. Sean mentioned after the Games that he was impressed with Emma's sixth place finish in the Olympic Total. She never missed a single lift and quite frankly she probably could have lifted more if she had to. a few more pounds on her Clean and Jerk would have got her past Migala in that workout. You get the feeling that the sky is the limit in regard to her future.

She is on my top 5 fav that am rooting for !….. please bring Nick Mathews next !

Best wishes to Emma. She is a great ambassador for CrossFit and for her generation

The most fun and hopeful interview I've seen thus far. Loved her energy... so easy to root for. The guys were so engaging in this interview!

imo, if she as worked on her strength, could be top three
