Story in the West

It was a battle of nations as the top athletes from Canada West and North West gathered at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, for the 2015 West Regional.
Competing on the third and final weekend of regional action, athletes were more than ready to get started.
“I’m feeling like I waited long enough,” says Emily Abbott, a 2014 Games athlete out of Calgary, Canada, “and I need to get a damn workout in, so let’s just go.”
And go she did, winning Events 1 and 2. Abbott was just one of two women across all eight regionals to earn 200 points on Day 1-the other was Kara Webb at the Pacific Regional the week before. Abbott held onto the lead for the next two days and safely locked up the gold.
On the men’s side, it wasn’t as clear. Lucas Parker, Brent Fikowski, Cole Sager, Tyson Takasaki, Joe Scali and Kevin Simons kept shifting on the leaderboard throughout the weekend, with Cody Anderson also in the mix.
At the end of three days, Canadians took three of five spots on the men’s side, while Americans took the lion’s share on the women’s. The West will send four rookies-Scali, Carleen Mathews, Jessica Core and Alex Parker-and six veterans-Parker, Sager, Simons, Takasaki, Abbott and Regan Huckaby-to the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games.

Great video! One thing is missing . . . Josh Bridges being announced as the commentator for 2015 Games.

[@benstroud649]

Kirk Meyers does someone have to come up with this shit every video? Its like fishing for 'likes'.

[@somesinger1575]

Ben Stroud Hold on, I started this. I'm enacting change through persistence and awareness :)

[@werbinich]

Thank you for including snippets of athlete interviews backstage. Best 'story in' video yet!

[@JoeBot11]

Would have loved to seen Cody back in Carson

[@itshuntyessss]

Really sucks to see Cody miss it by so little

[@alexhadfield8946]

All the recap vids have been great. On this one I especially like the men taking a selfie at the end, just goes to show that we're all in it together! I think it's those moments captured that make us religiously wait for new vids to pop up on the CF channel as much as we do for the instructional/informational/wod vids.

[@vincentlentini4376]

I hope Cody Anderson makes it back to the games next year. Josh Bridges too. Need to have the little guys make a comeback.

[@clufflebot7636]

Vincent Lentini Watching Cody Anderson smash the field in the 2014 Muscle up is something I don't think I will forget.

[@mdoyle403]

As always great job hq, but what everyone wants to know is, when will you announce Josh Bridges for athlete interviews at the games, just have him loose with a mic and camera

[@somesinger1575]

Holy crap 208 ups 0 downs. Let's see how long this videos sticks to its ratio of infinitely more likes than dislikes.

[@Nguroa]

Awesome!

[@EdSongoku]

Great!! Now how about the story in the meridian?!

[@meinfeedly4020]

Great athletes, big emotions, good editing. The music is dramatic - which is apt - but too loud.

[@ColandCo]

Don't worry Brent, you'll get there next year man.

[@illumiKnight12]

Cody Anderson!!

[@knichri11]

epic finish!

[@M1NH42]

Gutted not to see Cody back at the Games... 👎🏽

[@jsizzle8238]

Minhaz Hussain maybe he shoulda kept it in his own hands instead of saying he'll put it into god's hands LOL. what an idiot. deserves to lose.

[@Speedakanin]

What's the name of the songs used in this video?

[@M1NH42]

Music is a bit too loud... But apart from that, great video!

[@Gabe1439]

Typical cross fit pussy

[@GorillaBaked3]

Gutted Cody isn't going to the games this year!

[@mendezk1312]

[@desmoMarco91]

You know its become a weighlifting competition when bridges and anderson dont even make it to the games..was rooting for them

[@desmoMarco91]

***** agree, I do crossfit and love it. But the champion is in my opinion entitled to be "The Crossfit World Champion"

[@HockeyDutch]

Beard at 7:30. Amazing athlete though

[@green15838]

The women are more jacked than the men!

[@runnerdg]

Someone explai n me how is th at fokoski lose to takasaki if he was infront of him after 6 events and beathim in the Last one.

[@mskelseypeters]

No! Cody!

[@VinylUnboxings]

What's the PED testing in Crossfit like nowadays?

[@SoundtrackStudio23]

VinylUnboxings It's something like "if we didn't receive any money from sponsors to letting you in, the games will be as empty as Rich's syringe after an injection". Crossfit is damn joke. Have a good day.

[@chris123chris82]

+Epic Melodies Of Twilight it's a joke because some people use gear? Name 1 sport where no one is using gear at the top level lmao you're just a hater

[@lopu11]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (L)

[@badmeetsevi12345]

Jackotroniko You need to keep your feminist speculations away, that is an irrelevant thing to notice in this video.

[@janno142]
