The Reykjavik CrossFit Championship which took place May 3rd through May 5th has concluded but only a few athletes moved on. However, the men’s winner Bjorgvin Karl Gudmundsson already qualified so Hinrik Ingi Oskarsson will get the invite.

Then, Jacqueline Dahlstrom took the win but Hanna Karlsson who finished fifth will get the invite to the Games. Team JST got the victory and punched their ticket to the final in Madison, Wisconsin when they edged out Invictus Boston placed second, and Sweden’s Superhero project in third.

Jacqueline Dahlstrohm finished ahead of American Haley Adam’s to stand at the top of the podium.

On the womens side of the competition it was a really exciting race all the way to the finish and it was not at all possible to predict how it would end at the start of day 3. In the end 3 women were called to the podium🏆⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣Norway national Jacqueline Dahlstrom (@JacDah) edged it out in the end and became the @ReykjavikCrossfitChampionship ’s first female first place winner. Congratulations Jacqueline🥇⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣In second place was former Fittest Teen on Earth, American @HaleyAdamssss who in her first season amongst the adults is really showing the potential she has. As has already qualified for the Games through the open and she is claiming podium finishes in Sanctionals it is impossible not to predict that she will be amongst the women dominating this sport in the future. Congratulations Haley🥈⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣In third place, Greek national champion @AnnaFragkou_Crossfit really grew as the competition progressed. Being outside of the top ten after day one, being in 7th overall after day two it was on day 3 that she dominated with one second place finish and two event wins. Congratulations Anna🥉⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣All three of the above had already qualified for the @CrossfitGames, as had 4th placed @ThuriHelgadottir and therefore it was 5th placed Hanna Karlsson (@AthleticHanna) who earned the invite. The Sweedish national will be heading to Madison in August for her first Games. Congratulations Hanna👌🏻⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣📸 by @treningsfrue, @barbellphotography, @baraoe and more⁣ ⁣_ _ _⁣ ⁣#RCC2019 #WINNERS #WOMEN @iseyskyr @foodspring_athletics @66north @inspiredbyiceland @roguefitness⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣

I was not about to let an international competition happen in my back yard and not take part!⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣The @ReykjavikCrossfitChampionship was the real deal. An unreal athmosphere. Massive 4000 strong crowd, sound, lights and crazy energy. I love this shit. I live for it. ⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣To claim first place in the first ever BIG Crossfit competition in Iceland history means the world to me. To get to do this in front of all my people is incredible and I’m grateful for it. So thank you all for showing up to support me. ⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣I´d also like to give some props to fellow son @HinrikIngi who yesterday secured his first ever ticket to the Games. I have always known that he has what it takes and I am very proud of him.⁣ ⁣_ _ _⁣ ⁣#RCC2019 @VirusIntl @Foodspring_Athletics @RPstrenght @PicsilSport @Blendtec @Heimilistaeki @simbasleep @TheTrainingPlan @CrossfitHengill @BaklandMgmt

The teams brought it at the @ReykjavikCrossfitChampionship but it soon evolved into a two horse race between two star studded teams; Invictus Boston and JST Compete🏆⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣Great Britains Best, the JST Compete team featuring UK’s legends @BicepsLikeBriggs and @SteveyF22 ended every day of the competition in first place and managed to hang on to the lead all the way to the end. Great work and this means that the team led by 2x Games athlete Steven Fawcett, is in fact going to the Games in August. Congratulations guys🥇⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣Hot on JST Compete’s heels for the whole time of competition was the @InvictusBoston team, consisting of some pretty amazing athletes with a wealth of experience themselves. The race for the first place went to the wire and it was hugely entertaining for everyone present. Unfortunately both teams couldn´t win. Congratulations and thank you for keeping it so exciting🥈⁣ ⁣_⁣ ⁣The third place was claimed by swedish team Superhero Project who had a solid competition and were within the top 5 on almost all the WOD’s. Well done and congratulations🥉⁣ ⁣_ _ _⁣ ⁣#RCC2019 #WINNERS #TEAMS @iseyskyr @foodspring_athletics @66north @inspiredbyiceland @roguefitness
