The CrossFit Games wrapped up today, and what week of thrilling competition it was!

From Day 1 of the Games, right up until the very last event, there was a little bit of everything: drama, incredible fitness feats, and some new movements. But at the end, the 2022 champions were familiar faces on the men, women, and team divisions. Tia-Clair Toomey solidified her Greatest Of All Time Status by winning her SIXTH consecutive CrossFit Games, while Justin Medeiros repeated as the men’s champion. On the Team side, Rich Froning’s CrossFit Mayhem Freedom stood atop the podium yet again (his sixth team title). All in all, this year’s Games had some really fantastic moments where you saw athletes push themselves to the limit.

While the main spotlight was on the individual championships and the team events, it’s worth noting that the CrossFit Games has a number of other divisions that also crown champions at the end of the week. Men and women in the adaptive divisions, teens, and Masters competed as well over the course of the week. Athletes in these divisions were equally inspiring to watch, and it’s amazing to see the competition of fitness in different ages, bodies, and abilities.

As always, one of the incredible things that’s happened as CrossFit has grown all over the world is to see people how it brings everyone together in one place. From small towns to garage gyms to major metropolitans, it’s been fascinating to see people from different parts of the world participate in the Games. And not only that, but every year, the crowd that shows up to cheer the athletes on grows as well! Our very own Jen Clarke was able to attend most of the events during the Games, and able to attend some of the other offerings for spectators as well! If you see her around the gym, ask her about some of the souvenirs she picked up and who she was able to test her selfie skills with :)
