The 2015 CrossFit Games were held on July 21–26, 2015 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Ben Smith, of Virginia, was the men's winner. A Games competitor every year since 2009, this was his first win (he placed third in 2011 and 2013). Smith secured the win in a dramatic final event by holding off 2014's second-place finisher Mat Fraser who many had predicted would be the 2015 champion. Iceland's Katrin Davidsdottir, making her third Games appearance, was the women's winner, overtaking countrywoman Ragnheiður Sara Sigmundsdottir, who led for much of the competition, in the final event. CrossFit Mayhem Freedom from Cookeville, Tennessee, captained by four-time individual men's champion Rich Froning Jr., won the Affiliate Cup. Approximately 273,000 participants signed up for the 2015 CrossFit Games Open, which was held over the course of five weeks in February and March. The top 20 men, 20 women, and 15 teams from the 12 American and Canadian regions, the top 30 men, 30 women, and 20 teams in the European and Australian regions, and the top 10 men, 10 women, and 10 teams from Latin America, Africa, and Asia qualified for the CrossFit Regionals. After three-day Regional competitions held around the world, the field advancing to the CrossFit Games was narrowed to 40 men, 40 women, and 40 teams. New for the 2015 Regionals, the 17 regions were combined into 8 "super-regions".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What the CrossFit Games 2015 Changes Mean for You )〕 As in previous years, the men's and women's competitions were similar, with the only differences being weights of lifted objects, heights of obstacles, etc. Surprise, first-time elements in 2015 included open-ocean paddleboard racing, and pegboard climbing. CrossFit also holds a Masters competition where athletes aged 40 and above compete in their own age groups. Masters athletes qualified though the Open followed by an online Games qualification, called the Masters Qualifier, instead of Regionals. The top 20 Masters men and women in each age group are invited to participate at the Games. In 2015, the CrossFit Games also added a Teenage competition to the Open in two age groups (14-15 and 16-17) for boys and girls. Towards the end of the Open, it was announced that the top 10 in each age group after the completion of the Open would qualify to participate in the Games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Teenagers advance to the CrossFit Games )〕 The Teenage and Masters Games events were the same and took place from July 21–23. The surprise star of the 14-15 girls' competitions was Sydney Sullivan, who placed first in 6 of 7 events, often with a large margin of victory. ==Individual== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015 CrossFit Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
