Congratulations Mel – Winner of The Dutch Throwdown, a CrossFit tournament in the Netherlands

Foss employee Mel Yong took home first place at the Dutch Throwdown this month in the Netherlands.

The worldwide CrossFit competition consists of 3-4 workouts learnt just prior to the event. The workouts must be completed in one day, and are an assortment of standard aerobic, weightlifting, and gymnastics movements, as well as some additional surprise elements not part of the typical CrossFit regimen such as obstacle courses, a swim or strongman type activities.

Out of 40 teams competing against athletes from The Netherlands, Germany and Italy, Mel and her teammate Bobby showed strength in all events to earn 1st place.

Congratulations Mel!
