Canadian Adam Davidson ready for his CrossFit comeback
- The Victoria, B.C. resident is coming back off a penalty that cost him a Games appearance and multiple injuries spanning years
Adam Davidson knows a thing or two about adversity and how it can fuel an athlete.
Outside of having been a decathlete, in which proponents must master 10 track and field events, as well as being a weightlifter, the Canadian has also encountered his fair share of hurdles when it comes to his CrossFit career.
In 2016 Davidson was fifth heading into the West Regionals in Canada when a “no rep” on a rope climb cost him a ticket to the CrossFit Games.
“So that was pretty epic,” said the 28-year-old who lives in Victoria, British Columbia and now runs his own box, CrossFit Lolo.
Then a string of injuries essentially kept him out of competition for the following two years, and then in July of last year he tore his ACL which required surgery in December of last year.
