Just had to revisit this picture. Carrie is just the best, she is the editor of the CrossFit Journal, and a coach at her gym along with Mike Street at CrossFit Eastside. A great friend to have, just don't get to spend enough time with her! For all of you who are here from the CrossFit main site...a few things. Thank you for your amazing comments...it was emotional to see the great responses. And yes, there were the negative ones that said I look like a man, and that I didn't win an Olympic medal because of bad genetics. Hmmmm...can't win em' all. If you get a chance got to crossfit.com and post your comment in response to the others. Be honest.Workout: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 push up, jumping squat.
Post experiences to comments.

Eva, you are the shit. Kim and I both feel honoured and very fortunate to have you as a friend!
Keep rocking it!

Ignore the negative comments on the main crossfit site. You look great.
Cheers
Chris
As a man who actually likes women....you are hot Eva.
Eva,
I have written my honest opinion in crossfit.
After your calendar, I have no doubt that you are very proud about your body.
I don’t buy it, but I am sure it is great.
You look great, of course with training muscle.
Regards,
Javier
I always liked the "Eva teaches kipping" video because it reveals more of your personality than the pictures or other videos posted on the site.
The video today reveals even more about the person that you are, and it makes me admire you even more. One of my goals for most of my life was to go to the Olympics, and I understand not achieving goals and how that feels. You really showed how you have taken life by the tail and achieved things on your terms as you have gotten older. There's something about people who don't look at themselves as washed up after 40, and that really inspires me to not consider myself too old to be active or to get into the best shape of my life.
Thank you for your example, for your strength, and for sharing yourself with the world...and thank you for finding more to thrive on than just male attention.
Wish me luck! I'm having shoulder surgery today. I can't wait to start to rehab it!
Eva T;
Met you at Quantico Cert in September.
You're a class act all the way around.
Enjoyed your interview.
Thanks for sharing.

Eva, you are beautiful and ripped.
Don't let the negative comments get you down. There was a point in the interview where you smiled and I thought "Damn, Eva is really cute."
Hi,
Dear Eva. Although, I have never met you I'm a huge admirer of you. Don't worry about people who have nothing nice to say. They have no idea how hard it is to be an athlete on your level. As an decathelonist, I know what I'm talking about. You have no idea, how much I look forward reading about your adventures. I loved the interview and judging by comments it looks like your fan base is getting bigger. :)
Best,
O.
Eva,
You made me proud to be a Crossfit woman today! This was the interview I had been wanting to see after some previous videos which focused less on females as athletes and their amazing performance in sports and Crossfit.
Your interview by another amazing female athlete, Nicole, was full of insight and honesty; it really gave me a sense of the pressures top notch athletes feel, and your advice on how to approach things that challenge us mentally and physically was spot on.
As for your physique - it's awesome! You are the epitome of a healthy, strong, accomplished woman.
Best,
Avery W.

Eva, you are an amazing and beautiful athlete. My wife and I just recently started crossfitting and you are a huge inspiration.
Keep on keepin on :)
Brian
You rock, you are lovely, and a huge inspiration. Sad I could not be at the cert this weekend...best always-
Craig B.
Eva,
Two questions I wish Nicole had asked you:
What could you have done to medal in skiing?
What are you doing now to succeed at Oly lifting that you didn't do when you were a younger athelte.
I'm curious, because I'm always trying to figure out how to improve. Unfortunately I never had a coach like you.
You are stunning! An absolute roll model. We have never met (hopefully soon though) but with a physique like that not only do you have to be tough physically but you have to be tough mentally and that is truly inspirational..... The never say die attitude. Thanks Eva
Eva - First, please see my main page comment (#157) and follow up. Second, I have previously given you my thoughts on your Olympic experience. Third, expecting "honest thoughts" from an internet board might be an exercise in futility. Okay, not entirely true, but I'll re-recite something I said about you on the main page a LOOONNNNG time ago (you may or may not remember - and I'm only slightly ashamed to be borrowing these lines, since he's one of the top 5 poets ever to use the English language):
SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
As to your question about your own physique, Keats might have had it right when he said (of his urn)
"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'"
Eva, you're truth. That's all ye need to know.
Eva:
I see that a lot of your workouts that you post on this blog are body weight only and can be done anywhere. Do you do these with your O-lifting? Do you ever do the crossfit.com wods or the santa cruz wods?
Love your blog.
The Pie, Crossfit Vancouver
Hi Eva,
I think the comment about the bad genetics was actually an oblique joke referring back to Allison's rest day chatter where someone said she obviously didn't have the genetics to match your and Nicole and Annie's athletic accomplishments, no matter how hard she tried. I think there was a tongue in a cheek there.
You are a super person with a super attitude. A great inspiration in many ways
I found your blog through the crossfit main site. I'm very impressed with your physique, and I was disappointed with the negative comments on crossfit. Not only did I not agree with them, I found them disrespectfull.
Anyway, I did the workout today. As a newbie to crossfit, I like doing more of the body weight stuff as I build up.
Have a great day.
-Trace
Eva,
We know you're not taking the negativity serious and aren't going to miss a step because of it.
I learned to kip thanks to the original video of you teaching it (posted on the mainpage a long time ago). Indirectly you've helped to help others also get their first pull ups and kips as well.
I'm now up and running as an affiliate and continuing to pass it on down.
How cool is that?!?
You're awesome and I hope to meet you at a cert someday!
David

PS - The OLY videos, PF Menu videos are da bomb!
Eva,
You're an amazing athlete and a beautiful woman. Keep up the great work.
Eva,
I've never met you and I have a random comment on the CrossFit page but just wanted to say: you're amazing. I have your calendar up on my bulletin board right next to my computer (so I see it every day) folded to the photo for September- I picked that lifting picture because it's inspiring!: you show intense strength, focus, and beauty.
I'm a young female at a mostly male military institution - and thanks to training w/ Coach Burgener when I was at RBVHS, I love lifting and now I love CrossFit. You are my role model as a hardcore strong woman (and I don't know many). I really hope I get to meet you someday and maybe sweat through a workout together (even though you'd totally kick my butt).
:-)
You ROCK!
Eva-There is no doubt you look like a woman. I strongly suspect anyone who made those comments has absolutely no taste for beauty. If I were anywhere near Santa Cruz and had the faintest chance to take you out for a beer, I would in a heartbeat. Keep on rockin those workouts and that body!
eva-
i am currently a part-time crossfitter...full time mommy and wife. you are such an inspiration to me. you are nothing short of amazing AND beautiful.
i haven't met you--yet--but when i do i'll be as close to allison on the "stoked" scale. =]
one day, when i can be a full time crossfitter, i want to be "like you" physically in my own way.
sakura
Definitely ignore any negative comments. You. Are. Hot.
Wow Eva negativity toward you I just cant believe! I think you are gorg and the interview was so inspiring to see you as a real woman and then holding Annie's babe was so sweet! You are the real deal as I learned when I met you last summer in San Diego!
One day we will lift together (or I will stand in awe on the next platform with your numbers) as I am Olifting these days as opposed to doing the WODS! Who do you train with??
Eva-you and the women of Crossfit are truly the epitome of all things strong, feminine and beautiful- and also inspirational! as I posted on the main site, my 8 year-old son belongs to a junior ski race team and videos of you are often used for reference on technique and grace...the kids think you are the bomb and theire coaches last year have begun to use the Crossfit Kids sight for on/off season training program for the kids in the program-with staggering results(state champs,2-years running, several Section V high schoolers going up the ranks etc...) and as a dedicated crossfitter/single mom/business owner, I find your " Smile to yourself" attitude refreshing and inspirational-Thanks for all you do, and if I can EVER make it to a cert, I'll be first in line to shake your hand!!!
Eva you are the picture of health and vitality, and a knock out to boot
For all of you who have posted, thanks. Each and every one of you made me smile and if you were in the room I would hug you. Thanks so, so, much!
Eva,
I couldn't believe that there were any negative comments over there. Not sure what's going on over there lately between some of the lame comments lobbed in both yours and AllisonNYC's diretions.
I just want you to know that they're all wrong. You are beautiful, strong and an inspiration to all crossfitters.
Done.
Late.
Sorry.
Bloody work. I tell you, if they weren't paying me I wouldn't turn up.
I'm pretty sure the "poor genetics" comment guy was joking too. He had a smiley at the end of the comment and what he said was so patently ridiculous I don't think he intended it to be taken seriously.
I enjoyed the interview for the same reasons already mentioned, it let me see more of your personality and I begin to see why everyone describes you as sweetheart.
Oops, sorry if that blows your badass rep. :-)
And wasn't Dyllie so cute!
Anyone that says anything about not winning an Olympic Medal has no clue what real ski racing is all about... And for the others that say you look like a man... Come on they need to load up their pipe again... As a Alpine Ski Racing Coach you are an inspiration to me!
-Josh
You're wonderful Eva!
SO Beautiful. Really. Even more so in person.
Only a woman could have a booty like yours!
I hope you guys are having lots and lots of fun at the new gym!
xo
-AllisonNYC
Eva T,
Along with Coach Rut and the CF mainpage, yours is a blog I refer to daily. The blog, like you, is a huge source of information and inspiration. I've never posted a comment before since you don't need to hear "you're my hero" for the zillion-th time...but you are so make it a zillion +1.

Eva,
I am usually a lurker reading all the insights and comments people make. I have great admiration for all you have accomplished but more so for your continued diligence and effort. Please ignore the negative comments. It says more about their prejudice and ignorance than it says about you.
I hope to learn half of what you know about fitness.
eva!
sorry there are some nimrods who don't know what is beautiful.
you are just gorgeous!
Hi Eva, I have pretty much the same question as 'The Pie ' had...Do you also reccommend doing the CF wod's as well as your own on the same day? I really like your bodyweight wod's and feel I can do both, but I would love your advice as to whether you may think it might be overtraining or is it just a matter of, if you can do it, then do it?
Thanks Eva!!
i think if you feel like you could do more after the wod...there is a problem. the wod should make you feel done for the day. these workouts on my blog are mainly for the cf traveller and the at home..."oops, the day is over and i didn't work out" situations.
Eva, it's no secret that I have a huge crush on you. Who wouldn't - you're a total fox! But, I also admire your committment and work ethic.
Keep doing what you're doing and ignore the riftraft.
Anthony B
Eva,
Never posted here before, I wanted to tell you that whenever I watch videos of Crossfit workouts, my kids come over to watch. (boy / girl / boy - 2 / 5 /7). I think that it is great for all of them to see videos of you and all the other fantastic athletes that have videos up there. (I am actually in one of them!) They can see what is possible, and in my mind a better role model than most out there today. What you do is amazing, and I hope that some of your positive attitude and personality, which comes across in the videos, becomes a part of my kid's personalities, male or female.
And I do take them to a family crossfit class when I can!
Thank you, and keep it up.
Eva, you personify beauty and strength. Marry me. :)
Eva,
The no equipment required WOD's are great. I'm out in Afghanistan and the "gym" doesn't cut it at all. Thanks for the ideas, you look awesome by the way.
Eva T! I can't add more than what has already been said! You are awesome and very beautiful! Shame to those who can't see that.
Eva,
I know it's a little late, but I wanted to share my appreciation for your videos, both the workouts and interviews alike.
I find that, through the community, Crossfit goes further than just improving ones' physical attributes and helps sharpen the mind and soften the heart. Thank you for your postings, whether they be a workout or a word of advice, that continue to be a source of influence for the community to draw from. It is clear that you love what you do, so keep on rockin it. To me, you are the epitome of Corssfit.

The negative comments are trolls. LOL @ a Olympic athlete having "bad genetics." Give me a break. They're just saying dumb stuff to get a rise out of eva's fan club.
Later in the same day's comments, the guy who made the "bad genetics" comment said this:
"Did you see the firestorm of post from last rest day? My post was entire tongue-in-cheek. I even had a smiley face at the end. But you were the only one that took the bait and responded. I was really just trying to use sarcasim to show the irony from last rest day vs. this rest day."
Comment #197.
He also said some things in other comments that add to my growing opinion that the WOD comments are not worth reading any more. But the "insult" to Eva was definitely a joke.
There were several people being very rude to Eva, he wasn't one of them.
Those people are entitled to their opinion and prejudices, they are not entitled to air them in a way that is hurtful to someone who has only ever been well-mannered and gracious in her interaction with a great many people.
Now I'm mouthing off. Sorry, getting tired of rudeness being classed as "free speech". Must be getting old.
metric, i love you
LOL
Excuse me for a second while I print and frame that last comment.
Thank-you Eva.
There are good people in the world and everything I've seen or been told tells me you're one of them. You shouldn't have to put up with rudeness like that merely because you have achieved, but not sought, some celebrity.
I'm ranting again, sorry.
Eva, just want to let you know that I also think you are amazing, beautiful and inspiring! I was at a cert last May in Colorado and was disappointed I didn't get to meet you, maybe next time. I check your blog daily and I have your calendar hanging up in our gym.

Ha! I love D-wrek's post. That didn't even occur to me. Oh, those poor morons!
Eva, you and Allison are both gorgeous AND inspiring. Thank God beauty isn't homogenous.
John Seiler
Eva, you are by far a beautiful woman, and that shot just brought out another definition to feminine style.
Keep up the great work, and keep teflon on the robes for negative comments to just slide right off.
From Chitown.
Gio
All I can say is "Nice tongue, Miz T!"
Miss you already!
Congratulations Eva for getting a WOD named after you!!
This is not for everybody:
"Eva"
Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps
30 Pull-ups
Hey it's Carrie! I miss her, she used to be at CrossFit North with me. How do you know Carrie, Eva?
Funny, I get comments like that, too (saying that I look like a man), especially from my mom and my sister. I'd kill to be as ripped as you are! (and I don't think you look like a man!)
--Rachel
Rachel and Eva,
They are jealous.
-Fran Mason
:) thanks Fran, although I'm not as ripped as Eva is!
See you this weekend?
--Rachel
Neither am I, he says regretting the piece of chocolate tart he had with lunch.
I love this photo! I love it because it captures the most important thing about CrossFit - not the hard work, or the physical pay-off, or the enormous feeling of health but the highest practical application of all of those things: FUN.
When I first found CF and still had my doubts, the fact that 'an Olympic skiier does it' leant the program an enormous amount of credibility and kept me reading.
Keep rockin' Eva, and congratulations on the namesake workout!
Eva, ignore the dumbasses. You're great and bring credibility to the whole program. Thanks for all you do.
To all the gobs that think that Eva looks like a man, a big thumbing raspberry to you all. Eva, you is one hot tomato.
David.
Eva, thank´s for signing the calendar. Love it!!

Eva is da hottest. Seriously, though. And for the haters..., well there's just no accounting for bad taste.
Jay
something may be wrong with their genetics!
.....you're an inspiration to women and men everywhere and I'm certain that you'll have waaay more than your fair share of folks who think you look awesome. not to mention seem to be a great human being all-round :).
If anyone spews negativity, it's their own insecurities, masking them from seeing the truth, that are coming through.
If people praise, it's because they're seeing the beauty, and are free from fear enough to express it.
Now, I'm not saying that because I think you're amazing, gorgeous, generous, and a shining example of humanity... but I do.
Keep rockin', Eva - we love you.
