Behind the Scenes: 2015 CrossFit Games - Part 1

Go behind the scenes at the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games with unprecedented access to the fittest athletes on the planet. Catch Games competitors in intimate moments and vulnerable positions.

In Part 1 of five, Matossian gets up close and sometimes uncomfortably personal as he interviews athletes before and after the Pier Paddle and Sandbag 2015 events.

Matossian chats with 2014 second-place finisher Mat Fraser about the pressure that comes with being the favorite before catching him throwing up in the bushes because of nerves.

“It’s good luck,” Scott Panchik says with a smile.

When asked whether she thought about quitting after failing to qualify for the Games in 2014, Lindsey Valenzuela is blunt: “I went through that for about a week, and then I was like, ‘Fuck that. I want to be here.’”

Multi-year Games veteran Neal Maddox, who was stung by a stingray at Hermosa Beach, offers a pat summary of the pain brought on by the day’s events: “Shit sucked, man.”
