It was certainly the Lowlands Throdown that we expected: at the Omnisport of Apeldoorn to lord it was a parterre of athletes looking for the coup, the desire to prevail in the head-to-head and the uncertainty until the end. Two races out of three were decided at the last WOD, with some reversals in front of them that they wowed.
The only exception is between the teams, where Barebells Prepared he dominated from start to finish, bringing 670 home points on the available 700 and leaving the crumbs to others. Rocambolesca instead the comeback of Ryan Sowder that with the defaillance of Cedric Lapointe in the last WOD he brought home the ticket for i CrossFit Games this summer, an event in which he will participate for the first time in his career. Plot similar to the feminine for Alice Mille: the Swede risked compromising her chances with the 14 in place in the penultimate event but then she was able to overturn the situation by overtaking in the final CrossMag's friend Manon Angonese, in distress between Rope Climb and barbell, leaving a bitter taste in your mouth once again Sharkgirl.
Two new faces in that of Madison who sweated the proverbial seven shirts in the Dutch three days, disentangling himself between WOD really complete and often from the rather selective time cap; waiting for the latest verdicts from the next French Throwdown to complete the list of participants. Here are the Top 10 and WODs that engaged athletes.
