The CrossFit Games produced a host of great stories. Mike Warkentin tracked down a few that you might not know about.

How did Tommy Hackenbruck and Michael (Bro-PT) FitzGerald manage to wield the sledgehammer with such skill?
Which competitor tried to compete with surgically repaired foot?

Just to clarify, CrossFit Calgary came 4th (I would take 3rd if I could) and both Brett and James run CFC with Brett doing the majority of the programming.
