Norway is part of northern Europe in this years Regionals. Kristin Holte has made it to the Regionals and Games every year since 2014.  She narrowly missed Games qualification in 2013 when she landed 7th place in Regionals. She was the only non Icelandic girl to make it past Regionals in 2015.

She trains in two places, either at CrossFit Oslo in Norway or at CrossFit Invictus in San Diego, USA (where her coach CJ Martin operates).

This contrast of conditions, between the weather of Oslo and San Diego, is useful for her because it more closely replicates the conditions that she will compete in. It is quite different to train in the frost and snow or on a hot, sunny day in southern USA.

Kristin Holte also works with a mental coach, Christian Ytterböl to help her gain mental strength and perfect her mindset for training and competing.
