Brent Fikowski, Crossfit Underdog?

The 2019 Dubai Crossfit Championship recently wrapped up and with it Brent Fikowski won his 1st Sanctional of the season, while Sara Sigmundsdottir has won her second in a row (Filthy 150).

On the team side Misfit P10 Performance took home the gold.

Full results:

  • MEN
  • Brent Fikowski
  • Patrick Vellner
  • Roman Khrennikov

  • WOMEN
  • Sara Sigmundsdottir
  • Karin Frey
  • Sam Briggs

  • TEAM
  • Misfit P10 Performance
  • We Got Cake
  • Team Prepared

Many people predicted Sigmundsdottir’s victory correctly, however the rest of the men’s and women’s podium was less clear before event 1.

Prior to competition we held a Pickem’ contest where the top 3 men, women, and #1 team had to be chosen correctly to win $500.

By analyzing the answers from the contest we were able to get an idea of who the Crossfit community thinks looks most prepared at this point in the season…

It was no surprise to see Patrick Vellner be heavily favored here as Vellner’s biggest rival Mat Fraser decided not to compete.

Our 2019 champion Brent Fikowski was only given a shot by 6% of users and part of this could have been due to the fact that Fikowski did not do as well in the Open as other competitors.

Perhaps these 6% of people knew by looking at past competitions that Fikowski tends to do better on the big stage.


WOMEN

  • Sara Sigmundsdottir: 75%
  • Katrin Davidsdottir: 14%
  • Jamie Greene: 8%
  • Sam Briggs: 3%

As of right now it looks like this is going to be Sara’s year. She has now won the 2020 Open, Crossfit Filthy 150, and the Dubai Crossfit Championship.

Unfortunately we were not able to see our first battle of the Dottirs this year since Katrin Davidsdottir was unable to compete due to injury.
