De Rich Froning e Annie Thorisdottir a Mat Fraser e Tia-Clair Toomey - se cada nova geração de campeões vê mais longe do que a anterior, é porque eles estão nos ombros de gigantes. Quando Fraser declarou que se aposentaria da competição após a temporada de 2020, ele abriu as portas para uma nova onda de desafiantes. Em 2021, competidores novos e experientes marcaram o 15º ano dos Jogos com 15 eventos projetados para testar os limites do potencial humano e seu merecimento para serem chamados de mais aptos. Em meio às surpresas, contratempos e exibições impressionantes de atletismo incomparável, Toomey continuou com consistência e calma como um relógio em uma tempestade, enquanto quebrava recordes e garantia seu lugar como a atleta mais imbatível da história do CrossFit Games. Nos Jogos de 2021, testemunhamos o retorno de alguns dos grandes nomes do esporte e a ascensão dos novos iniciados - aqueles que carregarão o manto do Mais Apto da Terra para a próxima geração.

In 2019 the fittest athletes on earth took on the unknown and unknowable during four intense days of competition at the CrossFit Games. "The Fittest " captures all the drama as chiseled athletes descend on Madison, Wisconsin, to face a series of trials. On top of the physical challenges, this year the sport grew from 40 men and women, to over 100 of each. But with this new format came cuts of the field, so for the final half of the weekend, only 10 men and 10 women move on to determine who is the fittest. The best among them enter the pantheon of CrossFit giants and earn the right to call themselves the "Fittest on Earth."

FULLSTERKUR is the third documentary in a collection of films produced by Rogue Fitness, exploring strength culture around the world, connected specifically by the ancient tradition of stone lifting. Nestled at the doorstep of the Arctic Circle, the country of Iceland is uniquely acquainted with the relationship between strength and survival. For hundreds of years, men and women were challenged to overcome harsh weather and endless winter nights by developing their own distinct physical and mental fortitude—passed down from the age of the Vikings, and iconically represented by the lifting of heavy stones. Today, on an island with a population of just over 300,000, a disproportionate number of the world’s greatest strength athletes still call Iceland home.
