Support Olivia O’Hara on her journey to the CrossFit games!
Wonderful friends, family and supporters!
We are absolutely thrilled and immensely proud to share that Olivia has qualified for the CrossFit Games finals being held in Birmingham Alabama USA at the end of August this year! This incredible achievement is testament to her dedication, resilience and unwavering passion for the sport of CrossFit.
In Olivia’s category over 17000 Athletes started the competition and after the opens, quarterfinals and semifinals Olivia finished 15th Worldwide and is the ONLY Australian Athlete to qualify for finals competition.
A remarkable journey,
Olivia has been committed to Crossfit as an athlete and coach for many years helping so many on their own journey along the way.
Two years ago she faced enormous setback after developing paralysis in her arm and shoulder being diagnosed with Parsonage Turner Syndrome/Brachial Neuritis leaving her future in sport in question.
Despite this daunting obstacle, Olivia refused to give up in the pursuit of her goal and embarked upon a relentless effort towards recovery and training.
Although the injury has not made a complete recovery Olivia’s determination to overcome, problem solve and work tirelessly have paid off and against the odds she has qualified for the prestigious CrossFit Games.
How you can help.
Qualifying for a place to compete at the CrossFit Games is a dream come true for any of the sport’s athletes, but as with similar events such as the Olympics, Athletes are largely self funded and training, flights, accommodation, missing income and numerous other requirements are not without significant expense.
We are asking you to join TEAM OLIVIA!
We strongly believe in the community and the strength of coming together to support each other as we strive for our goals. Olivia’s journey to the games is not just her own but also a celebration of the community that surrounds the sport, those that she dedicated time and support to daily, resilience, strength, perseverance and support of each other in forward movement towards goals, mentors and healthier lifestyles.
Please know that ANY donations of any size are so gratefully appreciated and all will assist in making this journey happen.
