2009 CrossFit Games Champion Mikko Salo Is Back!
When the CrossFit Games announced a new 35-39 Masters division, the only thing going through my head was MIKKO SALO. The 2009 CrossFit Games Champion changed how athletes train for CrossFit but he hasn't competed in the CrossFit Games for years due to various injuries and coaching responsibilities.

All that seems to have changed with the start of the 2017 Open:

That's right folks, it looks like Mikko is back. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning, except my present is a stoic Finnish fireman who can exercise really really fast.

So any guesses to his time?
