Dottir: My Journey to Becoming a Two-Time CrossFit Games Champion - Katrin Davidsdottir - 3 Stars

[Jason]

I decided to take a literal definition of Strong Women and read about Katrin Davidsdottir, twice crowned the Fittest Woman in the World at the CrossFit Games.

At one time, I was huge into CrossFit and watched all the competitions. I watched both years that Katrin won. Reading her book, I also learned of a strong and resilient woman who was able to push herself beyond both her physical and mental limits.

Icelandic women dominated the early CrossFit games with Katrin, Annie Thorisdottir, Sara Sigmundsdottir. In Dottir, Katrin highlight the advantages of Icelandic women in social equality as well as a historically strong, powerful and determined people. She also chronicles her trek from a gymnast to an amateur athlete, to a professional athlete, to the Fittest Woman in the World....Twice...All while facing insecurities, depression, and a world that is not accepting of strong women as Iceland is.

A truly inspirational book and wonderful story.
