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. 

[Related: The Best Sled Workouts For Muscle, Strength, Fat Loss, And Recovery]

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.

The post The 2022 CrossFit Games Will See Just One Major Cut Before Final Day appeared first on Breaking Muscle.

Note: At the time of publishing the CrossFit Games have not finalized all the results, leaving them subject to change. 

Here are the complete worldwide team results from the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals:

1. CrossFit Mayhem Freedom (USA; North America) — 10 points
2. CrossFit Invictus (USA; North America) — 24 points
3. CrossFit Mayhem Independence (USA; North America) — 27 points
4. CrossFit Selwyn (Australia; Oceania) — 45 points
5. CrossFit PSC (Canada; North America) — 54 points
6. CrossFit Oslo Navy Blue (Norway; Europe) — 56 points
7. CrossFit Move Fast Lift Heavy (USA; North America) — 81 points
8. CrossFit EXF (Australia; Oceania)— 110 points
9. CrossFit Mayhem Justice (USA; North America) — 115 points 
10. Kamo Athletics CrossFit (USA; North America) —116 points 
11. CrossFit Zarautz Training Culture (Spain; Europe) — 117 points 
12. CrossFit Oba (USA; North America) — 128 points

CrossFit Games assign points relative to a finish. For example, a first-place team finish in an event garners one point, with that number increasing as an athlete or team ranks lower. The lower the score, the better a reflection of a performance in its totality.

That makes Mayhem Freedom’s ultimate result in the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals — where they won Workouts Two, Three, and Five, and notched second in Workout Four and fifth in Workout One — that much more impressive in context. They were only the team to have a top-five finish in each workout.

Causing Mayhem

CrossFit Mayhem — the gym affiliate of Team Mayhem Freedom — had humble beginnings. It also took time before some considered it an integral place to the sport of CrossFit overall. 

Over a decade ago, in 2009, Froning Jr. originally started CrossFit Mayhem in his native Cookeville, Tennessee. Then, just three years later, what first took place in Froning Sr.’s barn expanded to a full-fledged downtown training facility.

For the Mayhem crew, it’s all been a whirlwind ever since. Mayhem first sent a team to the CrossFit Games in 2013, and they fared admirably with an initial 27th-place finish. It wasn’t until their founder joined the efforts that they truly launched to the competition’s heights.

After winning his fourth CrossFit Games in 2014, Froning Jr. subsequently retired from the Individual portion of the Games to focus on leading Mayhem to team excellence.

In retrospect, that decision fared quite well for one of CrossFit’s legends. Since Froning Jr. joined his team, Mayhem Freedom has been a mainstay in the team CrossFit ranks. 

Among more notable results, in 2015 and 2016, Team Mayhem Freedom became only the second-ever team to win back-to-back CrossFit Affiliate Cup Championships — the official team competition of the CrossFit Games. A worldwide first-place finish in the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals is not out of the ordinary for their typical output. 

While members have understandably shifted over the years, the current stellar team consists of Froning Jr., Samuel Cournoyer, Andrea Nisler, and Taylor Williamson. We’ll see what magic this dynamic group can conjure the next time they compete.

SemiFinals on Deck

With the Quarterfinals in the rearview mirror, the 2022 CrossFit SemiFinals are right around the corner. There will be 10 in-person events this year — four in North America, two in Europe, and one in Oceania, Asia, Africa, and South America, respectively.

The Semifinals will happen over four successive weeks, starting on May 20-22, 2022, and ending on June 10-12, 2022. If an in-person event is not feasible for any reason, it will take place virtually. The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games will follow the Semifinals and occur on Aug. 3-7, 2022, in Madison, WI.
