The French three-day event, which was held, also comes to an end last weekend (June 23-25) in Paris! On the podium many Italian athletes, who fought tooth and nail to conquer the top of the standings.
Definitely a tough race, with demanding wods and rather high loads, especially for the masters, who have struggled to close some tests. At the end of day2, a cut to 5 has cut out the majority, putting an end to the coveted desire to win the title.
Let's see how it went:
