Dubai CrossFit Championship: Misfit P10 Performance, a CrossFit Games after party mash-up to competition winners
- Comprised of two teams from the 2019 CrossFit Games, the quartet now look like serious contenders moving forward
Lots of things happen at CrossFit Games after parties. Most of them stay — as the saying goes — at the CrossFit after parties. However, one thing came out of the 2019 CrossFit Games after party and ended up winning the team event at the Dubai CrossFit Championship
Misfit P10 Performance rolled to an incredibly convincing win over the four day tournament which finished today at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, winning six out of 11 events, and finishing second in every other one. This all started back in August in Madison, Wisconsin, said Travis Williams, who was out with fellow Don’t Stop teammate Roy Gamboa. The two finished sixth at the Games, and they were hanging out with Taylor Williamson and Andrea Nilser, who had just came fourth with OC3 Black.
“I went out with them and I said, ‘Hey any chance of you two teaming up with us? We might have been missing some strong girls and you guys may have been missing some strong guys’. And they were like, ‘Yeah let’s try it out’.”
Turns out the mash-up was a match made in heaven as even though they only had one practice together, they looked like a team that has been competing together for years. Williams and Gamboa call Texas home while Williamson is based in Iowa and Nilser calls Minnesota home. Williamson said they keep in touch via text quite regularly to compensate for the lack of physical contact.
“This is the second time we’ve actually ever been together,” said the 25-year-old. “So we didn’t really know, we had one practice, and our first worm thrusters together were on the floor.”
