Both these sportsmen are fighting to make CBD more known when it comes to pain relief and recovering from injury. Here's how Harrison said in a press release that CBD helps him:
“As I get older, the recovery process is just as important as pushing weights and Champions + Legends products help me take my fitness to even higher levels.”
Meanwhile, Thor Björnsson, who won both the World's and Europe's Strongest Man in only one year, says he's using CBD as well, stating that:
“Integrating products that are geared towards rest and recovery is vital for preventing injuries and allowing me to stay in the gym and continuously push me to maximum capacity.”

Sonny Mottahed Is a Founder Too
Champions + Legends is Sonny Mottahed's second cannabis start-up too. Mottahed entered the CBD industry right after he got a powerlifting injury. Here are his exact words on this:
“I injured my back doing a heavy deadlift exercise, and like most people, my next stop was my doctor who forwarded me to a specialist for x-rays and also prescribed me with some pain killers. I realized within two days that prescription painkillers did not agree with my body, and I did not like the way that they made me feel.”
This is when he stopped using painkillers because he realized they're not healthy and unsustainable if used for longer periods. After he went to Colorado for a visit, he says this happened:
“After the Colorado trip, I started doing some extensive research on the market for CBD, the rules, regulations, different types of CBD, and the health and wellness properties of hemp-derived CBD.”
A Brand That Targets Athletes
Mottahed says many athletes from nowadays prefer CBD products to address their pain. The Champions + Legends product line is at the moment available on the company's official website but will enter partner stores very soon too, including health and wellness locations, gyms, and specialty retailers. Meanwhile, Mottahed says that:
“C+L products are not for everyone, nor will they be sold everywhere. You will never find our products in a convenience store, gas station, or bodega. […] Our athlete partners are some of the most elite athletes in the world, and yes, elite athletes are a focus for C+L but so are amateur athletes, all the way through each and every person that is training hard 3, 5, or 7 days per week to be the best version of themselves regardless of their chosen sports or training preferences.”
