Cool Stats from the CF Games Page:
Here are some statistics from the first round of qualifying events:
* 4,507 athletes participated in 32 sectional qualifiers across the globe from Los Angeles to Sydney. This broke down into 3,151 men and 1,356 women.
* Of these, 3,365 were in the United States (765 in California alone).
* Canada had 466 athletes, while there were 370 in Australia/NZ, and 187 in Europe.
* Just over 1,200 of these athletes qualified to compete in the Regionals, where they will take on the majority of the 150 2009 Games competitors (who will compete in their home Regions).
* Only 90 individual athletes (45 men and 45 women) will make it through Regionals and compete against the top five athletes from the 09 Games for the title of World’s Fittest Man and Woman in July.
