Canadian Patrick Vellner travels to Dubai to compete in the Dubai CrossFit Championship. Vellner shares his excitement to come and join what he calls “one of the strongest fields you'll find in any competition.” 

“It's fun to be a part of that,” he adds.

Fellow athletes Brent Fikowski, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Sara Sigmundsdottir weigh in on Vellner’s relaxed but effective approach to competing.
