More Episodes

The FISO OCR World Championships recently had their 3rd event weekend in Sweden this year and by all accounts it was the best one by far!

This is admittely a low bar due to overflowing portopotties in Belgium and many obstacles not being built in Costa Rica, etc. However, by working alongside the Tough Viking crew they had plenty of experience to put on a proper word championship event!

Two members of USAOCR, Vivien Tran and Kevin Thompson, wanted to come on the show to talk about their experience at the event, differences from previous years, and more. They also have their own regional championship which will be held at the War X venue towards the end of June next year!

If you have any interest in representing your country on an elite, age group, or paralympic level at the next FISO OCR World Championship, compete in the USAOCR championship, or volunteer to help the USAOCR organization then please reach out to them via Instagram or on their website!
