The 2014 CrossFit Games Masters competition has wrapped up for another year and the athletes proved again that age is an excuse, not a limitation.
For the first time, Masters athletes were put through four events in one day to truly test their endurance.
Day 1 saw competitors test their technical excellence and brute strength with a one-rep-max deadlift to kick-off proceedings before a max-distance handstand walk, sled sprint and a combination of running and legless rope climbs to end the day in the early hours of the evening.
The final two days were kept to two events each, but the classic hand-killer of 2007 opened the Wednesday, followed by Medball Burpee in the afternoon.
Competitors started the final day with the longest event of the competition in ‘Down and Back’ – a variation on the 50s from the 2014 Regionals and finished with a short triplet that tested speed, gymnastic ability and strength.
The event started with a 100m sprint before five burpee muscle-ups and five heavy snatches with the 40-44 age group lifting 175/125 lbs and the 60+ group lifting 115/65lbs.
Amanda Allen finished the competition as back-to-back CrossFit Games champion in the 40-44 age group and Scott Olson won his third consecutive CrossFit Games title in the 60+ division.
