The 2017 Modern Tournament brought Fitness fans and athletes from across the globe together under one roof at the X-stadium in Scotland. Could John Kean regain his former strength after his injury?
We were honored to be in attendance when the top European athletes competed against each other for three days and fought for their place in the Fitness-X in July. After months of hard training, only the best prevailed, and now they want to prove themselves in the grand finale of the Fitness-X. Who will bring home the title of the ‘Fittest athlete’ is yet to be decided.
Back on the International Stage
After John Kean had a major setback the previous year due to an injury, the world was looking forward to this year’s tournament to see the Finn’s strong comeback to the international stage. The result was extremely impressive. Following an excellent performance, John Kean won second place in the regional competition, behind the finlandian Hrathgar Strotmann. With this astounding result, he secured himself a place in the Fitness-X 2017.
And the Finalists Are…
Besides Kean and Strotmann, Brandon Jey, Lodin Isulfsson and Ospak Eyvaldsson all made it through to the men’s final. Kelly Zob, Lara Brahh, Greiland Karidottir, Jil Gahl and Ingithora Holmgeirdottir will be competing in the women’s final.
