Today, I'm going to present you a legend of Crossfit and probably, the fittest man on earth !
We will speak about the life of Rich Froning. This man lives in America and he is passionate of Crossfit. Efectively, Froning is a legend in Crossfit (and in Sport of Fitness).
He has a big family (30 cousins), so he always played sports with family and has the competitive spirit. His family says he is a sore loser so, he is a competitor. Moreover, he likes many sport like american football, shooting with a gun … His cousin says « He loves all things that created disorder »
So, Froning decided to enter a competition of Crossfit in 2010. No one knew him at that time but, this year, he won many hardship, he beat a lot of champion … This year, Froning won the 2nd place because he didn’t know how to rope and swim. It’s a big victory for his first participation he thinks.
The next year, in 2011, he decided to enter a competition a second time. This time, there were no rope or swimming events at the Championship. Froning has thus dominated competition. He finished in the 1st place this year.
In 2012 and 2013, the same thing, he went and he won, he dominated the competition too. People says he is one of the most impressive athlete of the world because the Crossfit is the most complete sport and it’s really hard to win three times in a row. Froning begins to have a renowned.
In 2014, all people wait for him, they think it will be incredible if Froning win an other time. To have his fourth title, he trains very hardly. For example, he trains 10 hours per day and specially in his weak points (swim and how to rope). It work because the first test is swimming and he arrives eighth (there are a few hundred participants). Sadly, in the next events, he failed and arrives 37th and 25th. He starts badly and nobody thinks he can win his fourth title.
However, in the two last day (competition is over seven days), he is more in fit than at the beginning of the week comparated to its competitors. So, he arrives in 2nd place many times and, at the last test, he finishes first and win his fourth title !
