Near collision with Josh Bridges – 2013 CrossFit Games So-Cal Regional

 

Josh Bridges and Kenneth Leverich – 2013 CrossFit Games, So-Cal Regional

This photo shocked me.  I thought Kenneth(180lbs) was much larger than Josh Bridges (165lbs), but in this side by side photo, you can see that height, not girth is the primary difference.  Both men are extremely swollen after having done 100 wall balls, 100 pull ups, 100 pistols and 100 one-armed dumbbell snatches.

Josh Bridges – 2013 CrossFit Games, So Cal Regional

He looks like a champion.  Josh Bridges made it look easy today.  After winning the 100′s work out (event 4), he reached into the audience and plucked a child (his son I presume) from the crowd.  Many other athletes just collapsed after this unbelievable show of strength and power.
