Brian and PC welcome their first international athlete to this episode of "Friendly Conversations." Who is better than three-time CrossFit Games podium finisher Lena Richter? From 2021 to 2023, the Norwegian was a staple on the podium in Madison, WI, with the CrossFit Oslo powerhouse. She joins us to discuss what transpired this past weekend in Oslo at the iF3 World Championships, where she spent time behind the microphone as a broadcast team member. She talks about the importance of the iF3 to the growth of CrossFit and how it has helped the sport grow in Norway.
