Team USA Is the 2017 Spartan Team World Champion

This year marked the inaugural Spartan Team World Championship. With no clear favorite at the head of the pack, many picked the United States, Canada, or the Czech Republic to place near the top.

Locked in a fierce battle at the newly revamped Twister, the Czech Republic was unable to complete the obstacle, forcing them to do burpees and allowing Team USA to surge ahead. With Alyssa Hawley hitting the final bell, her teammates Ryan Woods and Robert Killian jumped up and down in celebration, running across the finish line to claim the first-ever World Team Championship.

Team Czech Republic finished second, and Canada came in third. Watch Team USA finish in the video below.
