On August 4, 2023, Medeiros appeared in a video with the Buttery Bros on their YouTube channel to discuss his opening performance. The interview with Medeiros begins at 2:00.

The start of the 2023 Individual CrossFit Games featured “Ride,” an event where athletes had the task of finishing as many laps as possible on a Trek Bikes Marlin 8 mountain bike with a 40-minute time limit. An unfortunate crash set Medeiros back to a 29th-place finish amongst his competitors.

Medeiros explained that he had collided with Lazar Đukić twice, leading to his falls. Đukić had apparently stepped on one of his pedals too hard, slowing Medeiros down enough to crash. It is unclear if Medeiros’ crash was from the side or a rear-end. On the second occasion, Medeiros tried to maintain the inside track on Đukić, which he said was an advantage his peer tried to eliminate.

Medeiros didn’t want to give up his positioning, thrusting him into another crash. Đukić would take 35th place.

“I don’t think he [Đukić] wanted me to be on the inside, so he tried to squeeze me out,” Medeiros said. “I could have braked and gone around him, but I didn’t want to brake … I don’t think either of us wanted to fall, so I don’t think either one of [the collisions] was on purpose.”

Once it was time for the “Pig Chipper,” Medeiros was visibly shaken and managed only to recover enough for a 37th-place finish: the worst workout result of his young career. Đukić would take second place behind overall leader Roman Khrennikov.

At the time of this writing, with less than two days remaining in the 2023 Games, another Medeiros title seems unlikely. However, the athlete recovered enough to make the cut and will be a fixture all the way through Sunday’s Final.

2023 CrossFit Games Individual Leaderboard

The athletes began their day at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time in Madison, WI. Unlike last year’s Games, there was no major inclement weather that pushed any event or workout scheduling back. Though the 2022 Games did initially have plans for a rest day, that is not the case in 2023. The Individual athletes who make it all the way to the Finals are expected to compete for four consecutive days through Sunday, August 6, 2023.

Here are the respective top-10s for the Individual Women and Men after Day 1 of the 2023 CrossFit Games:

Women

1. Alexis Raptis (United States) — 270 points | Leader
2. Emily Rolfe (Canada) — 246 points
3. Arielle Loewen (United States) — 225 points
4. Emma Lawson (Canada) — 222 points
5. Annie Thorisdottir (Iceland) — 216 points
6. Bethany Flores (United States) — 204 points
7. Laura Horvath (Hungary) — 202 points
8. Paige Powers (United States) — 198 points
9. Katrin Tanja Davidsdottir (United States)— 188 points
10. Jamie Simmonds (New Zealand) — 183 points

Men

1. Roman Khrennikov (United States) — 279 points | Leader
2. Jay Crouch (Australia) — 258 points

5. Samuel Cournoyer (Canada) — 204 points
6. Brent Fikowski (Canada) — 201 points
7. Bjornvin Karl Gudmundsson (Iceland) — 164 points
8. Dallin Pepper (United States) — 143 points
9. James Sprague (United States) — 143 points
10. Jonne Koski (Finland) — 128 points

Event 1 Results — Ride

In this workout, athletes had 40 minutes to complete as many 2,400-meter laps as possible while riding a Trek Bikes Marlin 8 Mountain Bike. Each lap featured an 80-meter run with the bike to return it to a place where it can be ridden again.

The story of the workout was undoubtedly Emma Lawson, who paced ahead of the Women with seven laps for the first Games event win of her career. Lawson was the 2022 CrossFit Rookie of the Year and appears to already be building well on that debut. On the Men’s side, Ant Haynes cruised ahead of the rest of his peers with seven laps, too, but the current overall top two (Khrennikov and Crouch) weren’t far behind in fifth and fourth place, respectively. Haynes is in 30th place after the first day.

Here are the top five finishers for the Women:

Women

1. Emma Lawson — 7 laps
2. Emily Rolfe — 7 laps
3. Emma Tall — 7 laps
4. Katrin Tanja Davidsdottir — 7 laps
5. Alexis Raptis — 7 laps

Here are the top five finishers for the Men:

Men

1. Ant Haynes — 7 laps
2. Arthur Semenov — 7 laps
3. Jeffrey Adler — 7 laps
4. Jay Crouch — 7 laps
5. Roman Khrennikov — 7 laps

Event 2 Results — Pig Chipper

During this workout for time, the athletes had to throw around a mechanized “pig” weighing 254 kilograms (560 pounds) while completing other exercises, chipper-style. In a chipper, every repetition of one exercise must be finished before proceeding forward. The sequence was as follows:

• 10 pig flips
• 25 chest-to-bar pull-ups
• 50 toes-to-bar
• 100 wall ball shots
• 50 toes-to-bar
• 25 chest-to-bar pull-ups
• 10 pig flips

Khrennikov began to separate himself from the pack during this event, finishing the Pig Chipper with a time of 14:28.77. That was almost 16 seconds faster than runner-up Lazar Dukic. Laura Horvath was even more dominant for the Women, with a time of 13:50.40, which was over a minute faster than the next best competitor.

Event 3 Results — Inverted Medley

For the final event of Day 1 at the 2023 CrossFit Games, the athletes had to be handstand-proficient in the aptly-named Inverted Medley. For time, with a seven-minute time limit, here is what the athletes had to complete:

• 30-foot unbroken handstand walk over the ramp
• 8 free-standing handstand push-ups
• Unbroken obstacle steps to a 180-degree pirouette
• 16 pull-overs
• 360-degree pirouette to an unbroken step obstacle
• 8 free-standing handstand push-ups
• 30-foot unbroken handstand walk over the ramp

With a time of 3:12.75, Danielle Brandon set the pace for the Women. On the Men’s side, Cole Greashaber (3:47.89) was victorious, but runner-up Justin Medeiros might have been the bigger story. The two-time reigning champion in Medeiros sits in 22nd place after the first day of the Games. It is unclear what precisely happened to Medeiros, but commentary teams noted he had fallen during the Ride event. It is too early to declare a new champion, but Medeiros’ reign is in jeopardy after one day.

Day 2 Is Up Next

The 2023 CrossFit Games continue on Friday, August 4, 2023, with just a two-workout slate: The Alpaca Redux and the Ski Bag. Any athlete proficient in pushing sleds, legless rope climbs, and the SkiErg machine is likely relishing what’s to come in Madison. With three days left at CrossFit’s flagship contest, anything can happen, with both sides of the Individual field now seemingly wide open. There’s an entire weekend to go, and chaos already reigns.

With the 2023 CrossFit Games inching ever closer, here’s a breakdown of Medeiros and four other potential Men’s contenders’ chances. At still just 24 years old, Medeiros would seemingly only be at the beginning of a dominant extended reign atop the CrossFit kingdom, joining the likes of four-time champion (2011-2014) Rich Froning Jr. and five-time Games winner (2016-2020) Mat Fraser. That is, unless any of these athletes have something to say about it.

Potential 2023 CrossFit Games Men’s Individual Contenders

It would likely be a shock to many in the CrossFit community if Medeiros fell short of an iconic “three-peat.” That’s not even unpacking the possibility of a new Men’s champion for the first time since 2020. In this event, both the Men and Women — who will be seeking a new CrossFit Individual queen in the absence of Tia-Clair Toomey — could have a new champion soon enough.

Here’s a short profile of CrossFit’s arguably biggest active star and four other Men’s Individual contenders in Madison.

Justin Medeiros (United States)

Best finish: Men’s Individual Champion (2021-2022)

Games debut: 2020

Medeiros wasted no time bursting onto the scene as a bright 21-year-old during his debut in the 2020 CrossFit Games. The athlete earned a podium result, finishing just behind Samuel Kwant (second place) and the legendary Mat Fraser at the end of his CrossFit Games run. With Fraser and a definitive challenger out of the picture the following year in 2021, Medeiros stormed his way to his first Games title, looking destined for greatness in the process. Such a prognostication ended up coming true.

Medeiros will be tough to beat for anyone in the Men’s field. It may take a catastrophic finish in one of the events and/or the champion being entirely off his game to fall short of another resounding victory.

Jeffrey Adler (Canada)

Best finish: Fifth place (2020, 2022)

Games debut: 2019

Adler is probably one of the more notable contenders on the Men’s side of the Games bracket. After a top-five finish in 2022 — his second in three years — it’s apparent the Canadian dynamo is establishing a consistent rhythm and comfort that serves him well in a tense, chaotic environment like the Games.

Adler recently won the Men’s 2023 North America East Semifinal. If he can transfer over such a performance to Madison, he seems primed to make a legitimate run for the grand prize.

Lazar Đukić (Serbia)

Best finish: Eighth place (2022)

Games debut: 2021

To some, Đukić could have the appearance of a “dark horse” — someone who isn’t an obvious contender but may deliver a surprise upset for placing near the top. That line of thinking would be a mistake because, when all is said and done, consistency can win out in the endurance grind of the Games.

Đukić is coming off a victory in the Men’s Europe Semifinal and finished in 12th place worldwide during the Quarterfinal. It would not be a stretch to see this Serbian competitor making a legitimate leap toward the top of CrossFit.

Roman Khrennikov (United States)

Best finish: Runner-up (2022)

Games debut: 2020

It’s easy to forget now, but Khrennikov actually already almost beat Medeiros in a CrossFit Games setting. In 2022, the fellow American athlete fell just 27 points short of overcoming Medeiros and earning the vaunted title. The critical thing to remember is that while some might have forgotten how close Khrennikov came to glory, the athlete assuredly didn’t repress the memory of besting Medeiros in nine of the 18 workouts during the 2022 Games.

Khrennikov hasn’t been at the absolute top of his game lately — he finished in just fourth place during the North America East Semifinal and was only in 19th worldwide during the Quarterfinal — but that might not matter at the Games. The athlete has shown he has the capacity to rise to the occasion and perform in a big moment.

Patrick Vellner (Canada)

Best finish: Runner-up (2018, 2021)

Games debut: 2016

A seasoned veteran, Vellner is entering his ninth CrossFit Games (including an appearance at the 2015 Games in the Teams division). Such a track record highlights Vellner as a model of dependability. At age 33, he is undoubtedly one of the older athletes in the Men’s Individual competition, as the Age Group division begins at 35, but that shouldn’t diminish his potential for a win. If anything, such extended experience could give Vellner a decisive edge over his peers.

It’s been two years since Vellner fell just short of Medeiros himself during the 2021 Games. This was after Vellner was runner-up to Mat Fraser in 2018. After shining in the North America West Semifinal, Vellner could be another athlete seeking a well-earned redemption. That one shining moment almost a decade into his elite CrossFit career might be around the corner.

Medeiros seems well-positioned to make another worthy addition to his trophy case. The Games, however, can be anything but predictable. It wouldn’t be a shock to see one of these competitors give him a real run for his money.

The post 5 Contenders for the Men’s CrossFit Games, Including Defending Champion Justin Medeiros appeared first on Breaking Muscle.

On Feb. 4, 2023, Medeiros posted a video on his YouTube channel where he gives a full tour of his custom home gym. The facility appears to be appropriately adorned with the requisite equipment Medeiros needs to excel as an elite CrossFitter at the top of his game.

After a short, lighthearted back-and-forth, with girlfriend CrossFit athlete Ellie Turner, about what constitutes a pull-up bar in Medeiros’ home gym, the athlete jumps right into the tour.

Steel Rig

The steel rig in Medeiros’s gym would likely be impossible to miss. After all, the multi-faceted implement comprises an entire wall. Per Medeiros, the athlete seems to utilize it as a storage device, like for his resistance bands. Most often, though, it lets Medeiros factor in various kinds of bars for different movements, such as pull-ups and muscle-ups.

“We have all the pull-up bars set to the height like they have at the CrossFit Games …,” Medeiros said. “We have the boards just to do, like, different types of grips, to do hangs, pull-ups …”

Squat Rack, Storage

Just below Medeiros’s steel rig is a squat rack that has a full set of bumper plates and dumbbells adjacent to one another, including a range of dumbbells from five pounds to 125 pounds. If that weren’t enough, there’s a shelf of kettlebells, up to 70 pounds, and even more bumper plates right next to this additional storage.

Steel Arch

According to Medeiros, where he has his steel arch is the “coolest part of the gym.” The arch connects both ends of his steel rig and lets him hang tools like Olympic rings and ropes over it.

“I’ve never been on a rig that is this sturdy,” Medeiros explained. “It is crazy. It’s not bolted onto any of the walls and it doesn’t shake.”

Belt Squat

Per Medeiros, he has a belt squat machine in his gym — fashioned underneath a pull-up bar — that assists in body maintenance and injury prevention. The athlete maintains he can use it for pull-up and squat movements interchangeably.

Barbells

In another corner of his gym, Medeiros has set aside space for various barbells like the EZ-curl bar, Axle Bar, and cambered bar. There are also some heavier-weighted dumbbells, a Log Lift tool, and a multipurpose lat pulldown machine.

Cardio

In a fundamental section of Medeiros’s gym, he has all of his cardio work in one place. Most everything from row machines and Assault bikes is represented in this star CrossFitter’s cardio space.

Steel Rig, Continued

On the other side of Medeiros’s steel rig is a reverse hyper attachment, a pad that helps stretch the back and hamstrings, building strength and easing pain. Alongside it are more bumper plates, some medicine balls and sandbags (including a 150-pound medicine ball and 300-pound sandbag), as well as various jump ropes. If that weren’t enough, there is yet another squat rack in this portion of Medeiros’s gym.

Peg Board

In the final main portion of Medeiros’s gym sits a peg board, fashioned with a plexiglass backing to mimic the set-up during many CrossFit competitions. A plyometrics section, along with jerk blocks, also sits next to this last wall.

“My dad came out and installed the plexiglass. We got our pegboard in here. We wanted to make sure we had plexiglass because that’s what we use in competition … The spot where your feet go is different in every gym, I’ve done it on brick, I’ve done it on wood, I’ve done it on plexiglass …” Medeiros said. “So we really tried to replicate everything we do at competition, the best we can, when we train.”

Should Medeiros once again repeat as the Fittest Man on Earth®, he would still have to work to do to catch respective legends like Fraser (five titles) and Froning (four titles). Though, at Medeiros’s rapid pace, with this sort of sport-specific equipment elevating him, it might only be a matter of time before he sits at the top of the Men’s side of CrossFit all-time legends.

Between 10 different events, the CrossFitters at the 2022 Rogue Invitational had quite the strength and conditioning gauntlet to work through throughout the Austin, TX, weekend. Here’s an overview of how Horvath and Medeiros fared from event to event as they captured their respective victories.

Laura Horvath 2022 Rogue Invitational Event by Event Performance

After a slow start, Horvath stormed ahead of the rest of the field when she won four straight events. Horvath performed so well that she had a 75-point cushion entering the final day of the contest and clinched the Women’s Rogue Invitational title with a pair of top-10 performances at the end for the clincher.

1. Texas Trail — Ninth place
2. Ski Bar — 14th place

9. The Goblet — Seventh place
10. Heavy Grace — Third place

Justin Medeiros 2022 Rogue Invitational Event by Event Performance

Medeiros’ output at the 2022 Rogue Invitational was largely in line with his usual path to success. The athlete maintained a sterling record of consistency, finishing out of the top 10 in two events just twice while notching top-five results in six separate events.

1. Texas Trail — Fifth place
2. Ski Bar — First place
3. Back Attack — Third place
4. DT With a Spin — Fifth place

Aside from the general acclaim and prestige of winning a major contest like the Rogue Invitational, Horvath and Medeiros’ exploits earned them quite the lucrative equal cash prize. Both athletes took home $218,868 for their victories. It isn’t the end of the 2022 CrossFit season, but if Horvath and Medeiros wanted to hang up their kettlebells until the 2023 campaign, they’ve certainly earned the right to bask for the time being.

Individual Event 11 Results — The Alpaca

After the Individual competitors were parsed down to a field of 30 for Sunday’s Finals, “The Alpaca” awaited the remaining athletes to open Sunday. In this exhaustive sled-based, kettlebell clean & jerk event, Laura Horvath was absolutely dominant. The Hungarian athlete paced ahead of her second-place finisher, Dani Speegle, by almost 40 seconds to grab the victory for the Women.

With the conclusion of the Games rounding the bend, both divisions saw a relatively heated battle on the Back Nine — a staggering Yoke Carry, front squat, deadlift event of endurance and strength. 

In the end, Horvath captured another event victory, which played a huge role in her overall third-place finish on the Games’ podium. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Adler cruised ahead of the rest of the Men, with Willy Georges in second and the eventual Men’s champion, Medeiros, coming in third.

Individual Event 13 — Jackie Pro

In the final event of this year’s Games, the respective athletes had the objective of working through some CrossFit classics — meaning a 1,000-meter row, 50 thrusters, and, of course, 30 muscle-ups. Despite already locking up her title, Toomey finished in the top 10. 

Lucy Campbell finished strong, taking home another event win, while Kara Saunders and Mal O’Brien followed. Meanwhile, Lazar Đukić sailed through this last segment, beating Khrennikov by just about 10 seconds. A solid fourth-place finish for the locked-in overall winner Medeiros was a cherry on top.

1. Lucy Campbell — 8:29.53
2. Kara Saunders — 8:35.97
3. Mal O’Brien — 8:45.58

As for the 23-year-old Medeiros, the now two-time reigning Fittest Man on Earth® follows in the footsteps of some of his accomplished peers. A year after becoming the youngest man to ever win the CrossFit Games, he is now the fifth person to win the prestigious contest multiple times.

Tia-Clair Toomey’s 2022 CrossFit Games Performance

After a relatively slow start by her high standards, Toomey rebounded quite well through the rest of the Games. The 29-year-old placed out of the top 10 just twice throughout the entire competition. She also notched five event results that were at least in the top five, including a victory in the jerk segment of “Shuttle to Overhead,” which was the equivalent of a full event’s worth of points. That result helped propel the athlete back into prime position for the overall Games title.

Mal O’Brien had led the overall leaderboard after each of the first two days of the competition before Toomey eventually surged past her with consistency. 

• Bike to Work: 2nd, 38:26.64
• Shuttle to Overhead (Run): 2nd, 7:08.14
• Shuttle to Overhead (Jerk): 1st, 18 reps
• Skill Speed Medley: 23rd, 23 pt
• Elizabeth Elevated: 12th, CAP+3
• The Capitol: 8th, 34:08.32
• Up and Over: 2nd, 13:09.31
• Echo Press: 5th, 7:29.07
• Rinse N’ Repeat: 7th, 151 calories
• Hat Trick: 3rd, 4:01.83
• Sandbag Ladder: 5th, 330 pounds
• The Alpaca: 5th, 6:46.48
• Back Nine: 2nd, 1:16.08
• Jackie Pro: 10th, 9:47.28

Justin Medeiros’s 2022 CrossFit Games Performance 

The start of the competition similarly got off somewhat slow for Medeiros in his quest for a repeat title. Eventual third-place finisher Ricky Garard actually led after the first two days of the contest. Eventually, Medeiros plugged away with consistent solid finishes that vaulted him past the rest of the Men’s division. Throughout the entire competition, Medeiros took home 11 top-10 event results. Notably, he closed well with at least a top-five position in each of the last five events of this year’s Games. 

• Bike to Work: 3rd, 36:53.65
• Shuttle to Overhead (Run): 18th, 7:12.80
• Shuttle to Overhead (Jerk): 5th, 16 reps
• Skill Speed Medley: 3rd, 3 pt
• Elizabeth Elevated: 9th, 11:22.64
• The Capitol: 3rd, 35:11.29
• Up and Over: 1st, 11:58.92
• Echo Press: 2nd, 7:45.28
• Rinse N’ Repeat: 4th, 130 calories
• Hat Trick: 3rd, 4:05.12
• Sandbag Ladder: 9th, 210 pounds
• The Alpaca: 17th, 9:34.20
• Back Nine: 3rd, 1:32.82
• Jackie Pro: 4th, 8:26.34

Heading into the 2023 CrossFit season, there could be a significant shift on the Women’s side of the proceedings. After becoming the winningest individual athlete in the Games’ history, Toomey may well decide to retire while she sits on top of the sport, as Fraser did before her. Her potential departure could leave an opening for rising stars like O’Brien and Emma Lawson. On the Men’s side of things, after joining a very exclusive club, the youthful Medeiros will likely vie for the legendary three-peat. Whether any of his peers can topple the defending two-time Fittest Man on Earth® is a question the sport won’t have an answer for until next summer.

Malheiros, Jayson Hopper, Brent Fikowski, and Nick Mathew all exceeded the Men’s original final sandbag weight limit as each attempted to lift a 350-pound bag. None were successful. Malheiros and Mathew crossed the finish simultaneously for a first-place tie.

To make up for her Day One display, Toomey logged a solid shuttle run and notched 100 points on the jerk with 18 reps. That was enough to vault her into third overall. With the Men, Adler fared alright on the shuttle run, but an impressive 19 reps on the jerk gave him his respective 100 points.

There will be just one significant cut of 10 athletes in the Individual categories and 18 Teams before the Finals.

An Enticing Battle

Some of the world’s best-conditioned and strongest CrossFitters over the four divisions — Individual, Team, Adaptive, and Age Group — will battle it out for their respective Fittest on Earth® title at the 2022 CrossFit Games. 

Reigning five-time Fittest Woman on Earth® (2017-2021), Tia-Clair Toomey, will try to become the winningest individual athlete in the Games’ history. Toomey’s peer, the 2021 CrossFit Rookie of the Year Mal O’Brien, could challenge the elite athlete. Meanwhile, defending Fittest Man on Earth®, Justin Medeiros, will vie for a repeat title as he tries to fend off contenders like Guilherme Malheiros. 

On the Team’s side, Mayhem Freedom is chasing its sixth title in eight years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021). Dutch athlete Joke Dikhoff, 72, will become the oldest athlete in the Games’ history as she competes in the Age Group division. The 2022 CrossFit Games will run from August 3-7 in Madison, WI.

Before the last day of the contest on Sunday, August 7, 10 athletes will be cut — which leaves 30 contenders for the individual title of Fittest on Earth® in their corresponding competitive categories. On the Teams side — which would be especially relevant for four-time Fittest Man on Earth® (2011-2014), Rich Froning Jr.’s reigning champion squad Mayhem Freedom — 38 will start the contest while just 20 teams will enter Sunday’s final day.

CrossFit Director of Competition Adrian Bozeman further clarified the organization’s plans for the Games regarding these future cuts. The 10-athlete cut on the Individual side and the 18-team cut on the Teams side before the final day will be the only cuts of the competition. 

Tia-Clair Toomey is the reigning five-time Fittest Woman on Earth® (2017-2021). In recent months, she’s given a comprehensive insight into her nutritional routine and the training equipment she uses. The 23-year-old Justin Medeiros is the defending Fittest Man on Earth®, who improved upon a third-place result during the 2020 CrossFit Games. Team Mayhem Freedom will attempt to make it six Team titles in eight years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021). 

2022 CrossFit Games Schedule

Both the Individual and Team divisions of the competition will begin on Wednesday, August 3, 2022. There will be a rest day on Thursday, August 4, before the rest of the CrossFit Games heats up for them through that weekend. The Age Group and Adaptive competitive categories will start their portion of the contest on August 4 and power all the way through to Sunday, August 7.  At the time of this writing, CrossFit has not announced the events for any of the divisions. 

Of every division involved at these CrossFit Games, the Teams will be the last to put down their kettlebells. For the first time in the competition’s history, the Teams will go after the Individual athletes have finished on Sunday, August, 7. According to Bozeman, a livestream broadcast opportunity spurred the change to facilitate a bigger audience for the Individual competitors.

Live Spectator Access

Per Bozeman, fans who attend the 2022 CrossFit Games in Madison, WI, should see a wider variety of events that CrossFit will cater to their experiences.

Spectators who are there in person to cheer on the athletes will have the chance to utilize CrossFit affiliate and educational fitness programs — such as one organized by the Denver, CO nonprofit, The Phoenix. Fans may even try out different vendors hanging around the contest’s campus and potentially get a workout where CrossFit professionals will coach them up.

Equal Opportunity

There’s a simple reason behind the only cut of the 2022 CrossFit Games happening on Saturday, August 6 — competitive balance. Bozeman said the organization planned for this cut schedule because it will allow most of the athletes more time in the competition. 

“It gives everybody a lot of opportunities to keep their name in the hat,” Bozeman said. 

The 2022 CrossFit Games will occur at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI, from August 3-7. While stars like Toomey and Medeiros might be heavy favorites to take home another title, their peers like 2021 CrossFit Rookie of the Year Mal O’Brien and Guilherme Malheiros could challenge both champions in their respective divisions. Meanwhile, it’ll be a tough task to topple Team Mayhem Freedom, but anything could happen amidst the intense CrossFit chaos.
