After recovering from emotions and, above all, from Jet Lag, we tell you how we have lived the Dubai CrossFit® Championship 2018 as official sponsor of the first official competition of CrossFit® for 2019 Games.
Day 1: Check-in and Briefing Athletes
As part of Picsil's work as Official sponsor, we participated in the check-in athletes and gave them personalized material for the competition.
Sara Sigmundottir, Willy George, Jamie Green and our flag bearers wandered sympathy while we explained how to use the Grips and the Rope. I also did not draw attention to how many athletes hallucinated with our material and many did not hesitate to share stories of the stories of the social networks on their social networks Rope with their name and personalized pack that we prepare for them. It is these little details that fill us with happiness and encourage us to continue working hard. In addition, it was a luxury to have Hannah Caldas With us, and a success, because he personally knows many athletes and made very relevant recommendations. Many thanked their presence and that made them relaxed. In the afternoon, we help athletes put their combas ready, with the exact measurement and cutting the excess cable. The day ended with the briefing that lasted about 35 minutes. At the end we could do a photo shoot with Sam Briggs and Jen Smith With their new ones Grips and tamibén to all Team Picsil They were together for the first time (Lukas Esslinger, Adrian Mundwiler, Cassidy Lance and Jen Smith).
Day 2 and 3: Competition outside the stadium
How do we tell you in the Competition Summary, the first days took place in The sea and in the desert. During these days, we crossed the athletes through the halls of the hotel, in the elevator, pool, breakfast or anywhere. The truth is that everyone was very close and friendly to us.
Day 4: Duty Free Tennis Stadium
The morning began strong. At noon we could enjoy a Affiliated Boxes Competition In the stands area that left, in the place, a lot of atmosphere. In the Picsil stand, many curious came to see and try the Grips and official Dubai combas CrossFit Championship. We spend two whole days saying: "No, we can't sell them." XD at 13: 00h the official competition began within Dubai's tennis stadium and the atmosphere was brutal, as it has been seen on YouTube. Despite the magnitude of the competition, we felt at home. People were very close and very pleasant. Everyone came to Stand Picsil Wishing to take something.
Day 5: Duty Free Tennis Stadium
The last day of competition was very similar to the previous day except in the Picsil stand that we had to Hang the closed poster at 7:00 p.m. Because we had sold everything. We are still amazed at the Good reception In the vendor Village. So we take advantage of this free time to Encourage our athletes in the final stretch of the competition: Sam Briggs shattered the last Wod and took the championship. We still hurt our hands to applaud. What to say about PICSIL athletes in the competition? Sam Biggs: She's "The boss". With his 36 years and his recent operation he made a round championship. Demonstrating that when it is in good shape it is one of the best athletes on the planet. BK Gudmundsson: A great championship ending second. It ended all the WOD within the Top 7. The only hit for its perfect championship was the presence of Mat Fraser. Nothing can be done when the triple champion is competing by your side. Team Picsil (Jen, Adrian, Lukas and Cassidy): They finished third and showed that they can hit very hard this year.
As for the other Dubai athletes CrossFit Championship, we highlight the French Willy George That continues in progression, slow but safe. Each championship is a little better and even having some weaknesses such as the Climb Rope or the Hand Stand Walk, we dare to say that in the future you can put in many problems the Fraser himself. We will continue its evolution during 2019. The young Polish Gabriela Migala It can be the future Laura Horvath. With his 19 years he has ended at the Top 10 along with long -experience crossfiteras. A real feat that shows that his sixth place in the 2018 regional Europe was no accident. Sara Sigmundottir, to have a broken rib in August, he has burst it; and Jamie Green, is another athlete that continues to progress little by little and that is getting further. We will see in February what can offer us in the CrossFit® Sid of London. The athlete that many expected more has been Roman Khrennikov, that after winning the regional Europe of Berlin, they saw an athlete capable of threatening the Quarter himself. But in Dubai his performance was much less surprising, he seemed athlete instead of extraterrestrial. We will continue its evolution in 2019. From PICSIL, we want Thank the Dubai CrossFit Championship® and a CrossFit® Your trust for choosing us to be official sponsors of this competition.
