CROSSFIT NEWS – What you Need to Know about the 2017 Open So Far

We have Patrick Vellner currently sitting in 1st place, after a great battle with Brent Fikowski at the live announcement for 17.1. Vellner later had to repeat the workout due to no-reps. He currently sits in second position in 17.2 with 224 reps.

See ya later 17.2, it’s been a slice. How do you think my shrimpy forearms held up? #theyrehuge #lookhowhuge #oknothuge #icangripstuffjustfine #popeye #2down #theboysgongetchesttats #iwishitwaslonger #beanathlete #makeitcount #reebok @reebokcanada @forging_heroes @hatlex_canada @proenergynutrition

He is followed by 24 year old Mark Oliver from CrossFit Sabal Park, Josh Bridges holds 3rd place. Mat Fraser and Rich Froning on 6th and 7th.  In 4th place currently sits Paweł Leśnikowski from Crossfit Genius in Warzawa/Poland. The 26 year old student has been into Crossfit since the end of 2014 and finished 28th and 13th in the two open workouts.

Sam Briggs in on fire

Finishing 2nd in 17.2 with a time of 9.47 she was 10 seconds faster than the Scott Cotrill, who won the men section. She currently leads 17.2 with 240 reps (Pat Vellner: 224, would made him 5th in the female division), and so she sits on the top of the leaderboard.
