The fall
January 2021. A scooter ride to the gym, an opening car door, a crushed ankle bone. A doctor's warning: he might not walk again. A withdrawal from Steel Troops two weeks before filming — and the end of his competitive CrossFit career.
The way back
The year in between
About a year of rehab. YouTube as his work: a body put back together, one session at a time, on camera. Competition, over. CrossFit, never.
The proof
2024: Physical: 100 Season 2 – Underground. Out in the second quest, back on Jung Ji-hyun's pick, and the final pillar push against Hong Beom-seok won in the third round. 2025: Physical: Asia, with a Team Korea that beat seven other nations.
Shut up and go.
“It hurts if you do it. It hurts the same if you stand still.”
Amotti's words — the ones he keeps saying.
