At the end of 2015, there were rumors surrounding Sara Sigmundsdottir moving to a new region. Specifically, she was aiming for California. 

During that process, though, she ended up in Cookeville, Tennessee, throughout the Open and won the 2017 CrossFit Games Open while living and training there. Since she can't live in one region and compete in another, HQ moved her from California to Central for Regionals. 

Now that we're deep in the offseason, Sigmundsdottir has finally started her move to California to compete there in the 2018 CrossFit Games season.

With no clarity on how 2018 Regionals will be different, we don't exactly know what this means, but Sara Sigmundsdottir will definitely add more depth to the competition wherever she ends up.
