Europe Crossfit Regional to be held in Berlin (Northern region)
youtube.comThis is something Craig Richey said in his last vlog on his Youtube channel, TeamRICHEY, but he sounded like he knows something for a fact.
Let's see if Crossfit Games will confirm Berlin as the place where the new Regional will take place.
Rory McKeran visiting boxes around Ireland
youtube.com CrossFit Games host Rory McKernan traveled to Ireland to get to know the CrossFit community and attended a ceremony that celebrates their CrossFit and Weightlifting communities.Was this the last year we saw the CrossFit Liftoff?
youtube.comCrossFit is making a big fuss about it, commenting and presenting it as if it was a big thing. But lots of voices simply say it was a poor event that was not presented well, not promoted by the box owners and overall just a big flop.
Plenty of people complain also that their scores were not validated so this was the last attempt to do the Liftoff.
Is it the end for this event?

A heartwarming letter to his younger self written by Noah Ohlsen
morningchalkup.com A beautiful, encouraging text about patience, acceptance and perseverance addressed to his 15 year old self. Sounds like we should all sit down and write a letter to our younger selves. "Go with the flow. Everything is ALWAYS going to be okay. From the test you’re freaking out about to the swim meet to the homecoming dance with that cute girl. As long as you do your best, it’s all going to work itself out the way it should. Believe that. I promise that it has for us up to this point. Eleven years down the road, believe it or not, you’re going to have fans that you inspire. You’re going to get to travel the world, support your family, and create incredible and powerful memories. It’s all coming your way, my man. Enjoy it and remember, “Nothing replaces hard work.”"More on the changes in the CrossFit Regionals 2018 format
This gives us a better idea of how the Regionals will look like in 2018.
Probably the biggest change comes from splitting Europe into two Regionals. So we will see the Dottirs & Sons compete against the Brits. And we will see a lot of Middle East & Africa in the Meridian Regional. But we still don't know what locations they will be in. Madrid will probably stay the same, and my money's on London, Manchester or Berlin for the second one.
Latin America will include Central America & South America. But there's only going to be one spot at the Games for these guys.
And, as we already knew, teams will be made out of four members, not six.
Here's all in detail:
-
South Central will include Texas through Mississippi and will only include U.S. States.
-
West Coast will include California as well as the North West states from Washington to Wyoming. Alaska and Hawaii are also included.
-
Central America will include Mexico through Panama and the islands to the east.
-
Europe North will include Aland Islands, Bulgaria, Belarus, Bouvet Island, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Slovakia, Sweden and Ukraine.
-
Europe Central will encompass Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Croatia, Isle of Man, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Moldova, Macedonia, Netherlands, Serbia, Slovenia and Kosovo.
-
Europe South will include Andorra, Switzerland, Cyprus, Spain, France, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Italy, Jersey, Monaco, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Turkey and Holy See (Vatican).
