The CrossFit Invitational

cfinvitationalheader

Team World lead by Australian’s Chad Mackay and Kara Webb scored a great upset in the recent CrossFit Invitational, taking a 24-19 victory over a big named Team USA.

Team USA consisting of Rich Froning, Jason Khalipa, Ben Smith, Lindsey Valenzuela, Val Voboril and Talayna Fortunato proved no match for Team World, consisting of Sam Briggs (U.K.), Frederik Aegidius (Denmark), Camille-Leblanc Bazinet (Canada),  Albert-Dominic Larouche (Canada), Kara Webb (Australia), and Chad Mackay (Australia).

In a live broadcast around the world, the Teams competed in back to back WOD’s in Berlin, Germany. While the men’s side of The CrossFit Games has been dominated by Americans in Rich Froning, Graham Holmberg and Jason Khalipa the Women’s side is a different story. With the past three victors originating from Europe with Sam Briggs taking out 2013 and Annie Thorrisdottor back to back in 2011 & 2012. With fast approaching 10,000 affiliates world wide, CrossFit is no doubt a worldwide phenomenon.

With Team World’s upset at the CrossFit Invitational 2013 in mind, it will no doubt prove for an event of EPIC proportions should it be repeated in 2014.
