About the wod
Background: “Eva” is named for 2x Olympian Eva Twardokens @skievat (aka: Eva T.), who was one of CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman’s first clients after the two reportedly met in a spin class. According to an article in BreakingMuscle, Eva, had recently retired from Olympic training and became one of the original CrossFit athletes. She trained with Glassman in the corner of a Jiu-Jitsu gym before Glassman even owned a gym of his own.
Eva is also a frequent star of old CrossFit workout videos, including the now-infamous “Nasty Girls” video. Appropriately, “Nasty Girls” was the spark for many other athletes’ CrossFit journey.
This popular benchmark WOD, one of CrossFit’s classic “Girls” WODs, was first posted on the CrossFit Main Site as the workout of the day for Sunday, February 24, 2008 (“080224“).
