En el pasado, se pensaba que s\u00f3lo los grandes levantaban grandes pesos y que s\u00f3lo los peque\u00f1os m\u00e1s ligeros pod\u00edan correr r\u00e1pido, pero \u00bfqui\u00e9n pod\u00eda hacer todo eso? \u00bfY hacerlo bien?

El viaje de este a\u00f1o ha sido el m\u00e1s agradable hasta ahora, pero por desgracia me lesion\u00e9 el b\u00edceps en los Juegos y tuve que retirarme. Es lo que hay, \u00a1el a\u00f1o que viene volver\u00e9 con m\u00e1s fuerza!<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Este deporte exige mucho de ti y de tus zapatillas. Qu\u00e9 hace que la PUMA FUSE sea una zapatilla perfecta para CrossFit?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam: Las PUMA Fuse son vers\u00e1tiles, lo que encaja con la filosof\u00eda de los CrossFit Games. Tienes que estar preparado para todo, la PUMA Fuse te cubre para levantar pesas, correr, trepar por cuerdas, saltar, empujar trineos... y la lista contin\u00faa. Son c\u00f3modas, duraderas y est\u00e1n preparadas para todo.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es tu entrenamiento CrossFit favorito y por qu\u00e9?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam: \u00a1Una pregunta dif\u00edcil! En los \u00faltimos tiempos, me han gustado mucho los Open Workouts de este a\u00f1o. La primera parte ten\u00eda mucha gimnasia y alta intensidad, y la segunda, levantamiento de pesas.

Mi ambici\u00f3n es ser el mejor atleta posible. Competir en los CrossFit Games me ha hecho seguir adelante cuando las cosas no iban como yo quer\u00eda; las lesiones, las derrotas... no son m\u00e1s que peque\u00f1os inconvenientes a los que hay que enfrentarse en el camino hacia el gran objetivo.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfQui\u00e9n le motiva para ser el mejor atleta posible?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam: Mi entrenador, mis compa\u00f1eros de entrenamiento, mi novia, mis amigos, mi familia, los entrenadores que he tenido en el pasado y, por supuesto, mis competidores. Creo que la motivaci\u00f3n es ef\u00edmera, se necesita una pasi\u00f3n ardiente y profunda que tiene que venir de uno mismo. Mi \u2018motivaci\u00f3n\u2019 es encontrar mi l\u00edmite absoluto.

In recent memory, I really enjoyed this year\u2019s Open Workouts. Part one having lots of gymnastics and high intensity and then part two had heavy lifting. So a great overall test of many aspects of fitness.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How has your ambition helped you in your career?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Sam: My ambition has kept me going in times when it was easy to get discouraged. My ambition is to be the best athlete I can be. To compete at the CrossFit Games has kept me pushing forward when things don\u2019t go my way; injuries, losses \u2013 they are just minor inconveniences you must face on route to the big picture goal.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Who motivates you to be the best athlete you can be?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Sam: My coach, my training partners, my girlfriend, friends, family, coaches I\u2019ve had in the past and of course my competitors. I think motivation is fleeting, you need a deep burning passion and that has to come from yourself. My \u2018motivation\u2019 is to find my absolute limit.
