Earlier today, 5-time CrossFit Games athlete Jonne Koski announced that he had to withdraw from the CrossFit Filthy 150 Sanctionals competition due to food poisoning.
In his Instagram post’s description Koski writes,
“Unfortunately I had to withdraw from @filthy150 today due to a pretty bad food poisoning I got yesterday. I was excited to get the sanctional season started here in Ireland but have to put health in first and shift focus to @dxbfitnesschamp in December. Good luck to all the fellow competitors. The events looks fun”
In his Instagram post’s description, Koski points out that he’ll now be directing his attention to the Dubai CrossFit Championship, which is taking on December 11th and running through the 14th. The Dubai CrossFit Championship is the third Sanctionals competition out of the 28 that we’ll get to see see this season.
While it’s unfortunate Koski can’t compete at the CrossFit Filthy 150 this weekend, he doesn’t have too much to worry about in regard to qualifying for the 2020 Reebok CrossFit Games. This year, he finished 12th overall for the 2020 CrossFit Open, and is currently sitting as the national champion for Finland.
If we look at some of Koski’s previous competition years, we’d have to say he’s sitting in a pretty good place right now. The only other time he’s finished higher than 12th in the CrossFit Open was in 2017 when he took home 9th place overall at both the Open and the Games (his highest finish to date).
