One of our Athletes, Christina Livaditakis is competing at The Renegade Games (Fittest in Africa) this weekend! Christina has qualified 1st into her semi-final. For the African semi-final, it is the 1st place finishers for individuals and teams that will get a spot to The CrossFit Games. We are so excited to watch Christina compete over in Africa and can’t wait for her to show the CrossFit community who she is and what she has to offer!
When Christina is not training she works full time at CrossFit Crossaxed just down the road from PEAK, where she helps hundreds of athletes daily improve their physical health, and we’re sure they can’t wait to watch her compete!
We did a Q&A with Christina to learn more about her and her CrossFit journey so far:
When did you first start CrossFit?
I started CrossFit in 2016.
What brought you to Australia & what do you love about the country?
I left home (Zimbabwe) to make a better life for myself, and Australia was always attractive to me for multiple reasons. Warm weather, entertaining culture and use of literature, but the lifestyle change is the biggest reason I moved here together with the hot summers and endless places to visit; beach, mountains, cities etc. But it’s also done wonders for my athletic career. I can definitely say without a doubt that I wouldn’t be the athlete I am today without having moved to Australia.
What is something you’re proud of yourself for achieving/conquering?
I’m pretty proud of sticking it out through the process of trying to permanently stay here (still in progress though). I’ve experienced some pretty low lows so I’m glad I grit through it all. And I’m always reminding myself to be proud of the athlete I am, and am becoming. But there’s still so much more I want to achieve in that route.
What is something you’re looking forward to for the rest of your 2023 CrossFit season?
I’m looking forward to this being my best CrossFit season yet! I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been and I’m determined to prove that I am a Games Athlete.
What’s your favorite quote?
“I do not pity those whose lives are tough, I envy them, for they have the greatest opportunity to get stronger!”
We want to wish Christina the best of luck and can’t wait to watch her smash the weekend of competition and earn her spot at The 2023 CrossFit games! “LESSSSSS GOOOO!!”
