Danielle Brandon: Mastering the Medley

Danielle, finishing at a commendable 9th position, was the undisputed champion of the inverted medley event. Her victory is an embodiment of her unparalleled gymnastics skills and the strength and endurance benefits that AIRWAAV brings to the table.

With just three years of CrossFit under her belt, Abigail Domit not only made it past the first cut but also secured the 26th place. She mentions, “AIRWAAV has helped me regulate my breathing... The mouthpiece keeps me calm and brings me back to center.”

The Men Making Their Mark

While Dallin stood out, our other male athletes brought their A-game. Cole Greashaber not only secured his very first CrossFit games event win but also clinched the inverted medley. James Sprague, finishing 25th, pointed out, "AIRWAAV helps me gain a mental edge on my competitors... I also love having something to clench down on during heavy lifts."

The AIRWAAV Advantage

For all our athletes, AIRWAAV has been an irreplaceable asset. The innovative lower fit performance mouthpiece optimizes jaw alignment and directs the tongue in a way that opens the airway, reducing respiratory rates and lactic acid production. It provides a competitive edge against the other athletes by unlocking full athletic potential. Research conducted at The Citadel in Charleston, SC, has demonstrated its efficacy.
