At least five more athletes have suffered from pec injuries during the 2017 CrossFit Games Regionals. Phil Hesketh, Adrian Mundwiler, and Ates Boran from Meridian and Jeff Evans from Atlantic all have withdrawn from Regionals due to pec injuries. Ben Stoneberg and Match Wagner from the West Regional have also withdrawn from the competition.

Dave Castro was asked about the injuries during Event 1 at the West Regional and commented on the entire situation saying he "hates to see injuries" but "doesn't regret programming it" as it may have "exposed deficiencies in training."



You can find Castro's full remarks starting at the 6:50 mark on Men's Event 1, heat 2.

Ben Stoneberg, who injured himself while training for Regionals, withdrew from competition in the West Regional due to being unable to complete the minimum work requirement in Event 2. Mitch Wagner was also unable to complete the minimum work requirement in Event 2 and won't be continuing through the weekend.
