BREAKING NEWS – Brooke Wells Competed With a Broken Bone For Most of The 2017 CrossFit Games!

Brooke Wells broke her finger during the friday night lights event “Assault Banger”. After the Games were over she posted these stories on instagram:

Brooke Wells: “This weekend was an incredible learning experience, two of the things that stand out to me the most;

• Never stop fighting. On Friday, I was in 31st place. I had three events (IN A ROW) that were a complete disaster for me. That was absolutely devastating. But instead of accepting a spot in the bottom ten, I left everything I had out on the competition floor & worked my way up to 14th. 14th place in the WORLD, that’s something to be proud of, right?!

I couldn’t have made it through the CrossFit Games weekend without the support & help of my team, community & volunteers behind me ❤️ From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU; •To my coach who has literally put so much time & effort every. single. day. into making me the best I can be physically, mentally & all around a better person @benbergeron @competitorstraining •To all my sponsors who have supported me & provided me with the best of the best products. @nobullproject @cellucor @purestrength @killcliff @compexusa @paleopowermeals @rxsmartgear @mbslingshot @workingagainstgravity •To my home gym @crossfitfringe & the gyms who have made me feel like family these past few months @crossfitgambit @barxcrossfit @cfne •To @okeefmr for literally helping me with anything & everything. •To the staff, judges, volunteers & @thedavecastro for making this weekend such a success. •To my family @sydneywells @lisalynnwells (dad & Char), bestfriend @aspiesparks & partner in crime @jessicargriffith for putting up with me all weekend. •To the COMMUNITY.

• Have FUN! I cannot say I was in the best spirits heading into Saturday, but as soon as I stopped feeling sorry for myself & treated each event like it was MY workout (whether it was in my wheelhouse or not), forgot about what place I was in & truly had a blast on the floor- I started to preform like myself.
2017 has come to a (quick) end & although it did not play out like I had imagined, this does not take away from the amazing year I’ve had. There is so much to be proud of. Not to mention, the beautiful women I get to compete against are so incredible. After this week of relaxing, good food & focusing on my family & friends, it’s back to the drawing board to make 2018 the best year yet. I can promise y’all that ”
