In Episode 35 of the Masters in Motion Podcast, we are truly honored to host one of the iconic figures in the CrossFit community: Annie Sakamoto. A four-time CrossFit Games Athlete, the 2021 champion in the 45-49 age category, and an inspiration to many, Annie brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our discussion.

The CrossFit landscape is shifting, and with the recent announcement about the integration of the Masters Athletes' in-person final competition for 2024 into the Legends Championship, there’s a lot to unpack. How does this change the game? What does it signify for the Masters community? While there are answers, there are also a multitude of questions. Annie and our hosts delve deep into the implications, their reactions, and the road ahead.

But it’s not just about the future. We take a trip down memory lane with Annie to explore her near two-decade-long journey in CrossFit. From the early days at the original CrossFit gym in Santa Cruz to standing atop the podium as a Games champion, Annie's story is a testament to dedication, passion, and the evolution of the sport.

Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone who loves a deep dive into the heart and history of CrossFit, this episode offers a unique blend of personal tales and informed discussions about the ever-changing world of functional fitness.
