ELLI STENFORS
Birthday: 1997
Where are you from: Pori, Finland
Sport: CrossFit
When did you start: 2015
Instagram: @ellistenfors
How & why did you start:
I used to be a competitive swimmer until I began to get bored, and my coach recommended CrossFit instead. I immediately fell in love with the diversity and loved to gain strength after years of condition-based training. On top of that, I’m super interested in health and being able to perform in the long term.
Your coolest sport memory:
In 2017, I won the Berlin Throwdown. The win took me by surprise because I never check the leaderboard during competitions.
Your biggest goal:
I’m motivated to get into sanctionals and some bigger competitions abroad. My goal is to do my best. Other than that, I want to finish my studies in physiotherapy.
Motto:
Motivation is overrated, and discipline is underrated.
- After upper secondary school, I lived in Switzerland.
- I would love to start dancing.
- I have three jobs, and I have my studies.
- I could sleep all day and stay awake all night.
- I never film my PR attempts.
- I study to become a physiotherapist.
- I am known for my honest opinions and straight answers whenever my friends or family ask for one.
- I’m quite sensitive, and I’m already sad when I think about the day I have to let my dog go.
- Snowboarding was an important hobby for me as a child.
- Between lifts, I tend to dance and sing.
