The 2021 Dubai CrossFit Championship had athletes hitting the slopes at an indoor ski resort for the first two scored events of the competition.

In Event 1A “Stay Frosty,” the men and women’s field completed 5 rounds of a 500-m SkiErg and a run up and down the ski hill. In Event 1B, competitors put on weighted vests and sprinted up and down the ski slope to close out the day.

Reporter Lauren Smith catches up with Kristin Holte, as well as overall leaders Ricky Garard and Samatha Briggs, to chat about the competition.
