You have no idea how much it means to me every time I take that floor ?❤️ I can not believe how fortunate I am with the people I have around me – from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!”

BRENT FIKOWSKI

“Finished fourth place this weekend at the Reebok CrossFit Games, missed out on a podium spot on a tiebreak to the fit and handsome @hogberglukas

Very similar situation I was in two years ago where I was outside third place by a few points. I went as hard as I could on the finale to close the gap and it wasn’t quite enough. In situations like these you can choose to be bitter by looking at what could have been, or you can be grateful for everything you have. Happiness is a choice, so I will choose to be thankful for this amazing weekend!

My goal as always was to use my abilities to place as high on the leaderboard as I was capable, and block out any noise that didn’t align with that focus. I was able to do that and have a lot of fun competing against some great men.”
