A favorite to win the Asian Individual Woman Division at this weekend’s CrossFit Games qualifiers in Seoul, the 25-year-old über-athlete talks to Mandy Lynn about sex and sweet potato fries.

I’m inspired by ordinary people who accomplish the seemingly impossible by setting their mind to it.

I won’t live my life constrained by societal norms and expectations.

I’ve been on the Paleo diet for about a year now and I think it’s quite self-reinforcing—I’ve seen massive improvements in terms of performance, so that keeps me going.

It helps that I focus on quality over quantity when it comes to food and nutrition, so there’s nothing standing in the way of me and a large Porterhouse steak any day.

My smile has gotten me places.

Hand-cut, twice-cooked sweet potato fries dipped in spicy chipotle mayo from Zingerman’s Roadhouse in Ann Arbor are like sex in your mouth.

I set my iPhone alarm for an hour before I’m supposed to wake up just so I can have the pleasure of hitting the snooze button umpteen times before I finally get my ass out of bed.

I’ve driven in the US, Australia, and Singapore and, unfortunately, we seem to have the most assholes on the road.

I don’t give a shit if guys are intimidated by me. Everyone’s free to think what they want.

I think a man’s confidence and poise are his sexiest qualities—if he’s intimidated by my athleticism, then he’s not Mr. Right.

Be smart when you play the cards you’re dealt, and you’ll emerge a winner one way or another.

Don’t live life with any regrets, everything happens for a reason.

I don’t like flowers or superficial bullshit. My ideal date is someone engaging and intelligent so I don’t have to idly play with my food or compose a little instrumental with a spoon and a wine glass, willing time to pass faster.

There’s no point dwelling on mistakes—everyone slips up! Just clean up your shit and move on.

I only sing in the shower when I’m heavily intoxicated.

Nice hamstrings usually equate to a cute bum.
