This WoD is dedicated to all the athletes of the 2012 Olympic games that do NOT have big names.  Dedicating your life to the Olympics is an intensely time consuming effort.  For many of these athletes, it takes sacrifice beyond eating well and giving up nights out.  The financial burden is huge.  Gia Lewis-Smallwood is a discus thrower from Champaign, Illinois.  Despite posting top throws across the U.S. for the last 2 years, she had no major sponsors or financial aid until she qualified for London 2012.

Come join us this Saturday for I Am CrossFit Kids Grand Opening from 10Am to 12Pm. Click here for more details.

This past weekend we lost a long-time member of our family here at IACF.  Danny Zamora was a good soul and he will be greatly missed by all his friends here.  His family has set up a webpage (http://danielzamorafoundation.blogspot.com) where you can offer your messages and prayers.  Dannys’ memorial mass will be held on Thursday, August 5th, 5pm, at St. Agatha Catholic Church, 1111 SW 107th Ave.
