Sunday Results

At this point, in the competition, Medeiros and Toomey had firm leads. The fight was really for second place. On the men’s side, Roman Khrennikov made a splash in his debut by surpassing Ricky Garard, who was quite dominant during the first half of the competition. 

For the women, Mallory O’Brien signaled that the future of CrossFit is here. She held a lead over Toomey for the first three days of competition before sinking to second place. Notably, Brooke Wells placed fifth less than a year after having major elbow surgery.

The Alpaca Results

With the removal of the rope climbs, athletes finished way ahead of the 18-minute time cap. Roman Khrennikov picked up his second event win at his first ever Games, finishing 36 seconds ahead of Sam Kwant. Medeiros, who, at this point, is looking to create distance between him and Ricky Garard, finished in fifth. Hopper came in sixth and Garard in seventh. 

The kettlebells seemed to be quite heavy for the women. Still, Horvath managed to finish far and ahead of the rest of the pack. Also of note, Danielle Brandon made a mistake early on, stopping her sled push too early in the first stretch.

Saturday Results

Day four was action-packed. Athletes began in the pool, got down and dirty with a quick wall ballsnatch-sprint trifecta, and then closed out with ultra heavy sandbags-to-shoulders. 

After today’s series of events, only the top 30 athletes will advance to the final day of competition (hence the line in the leaderboard above).

The Adaptive and Age Group divisions also ended their Games journey today. Check out the recaps below:

Sandbag Ladder Results

Toomey managed to stay within the top 10 and continues to fight off Mallory O’Brien. However, this battle came down to Titan Games contestant Dani Speegle and Jacqueline Dahlstrøm. Speegle managed to edge the Norwegian out. On the men’s side, Guilherme Malheiros and Nick Mathew tied for first in an impressive showing that required a 350-pound bag to be wheeled onto the floor. Neither man could lift it, and they tied down to a fraction of a second in the tie-breaker.

Friday Results

After a rocky start — well, rocky for her — Tia-Clair Toomey is back on top of the leaderboard, leading 18-year-old Mallory O’Brien by just two points. And it appears that the “changing of the guard” is the vibe of the Individual Women’s division, with 17-year-old Emma Lawson in third, and Haley Adams (21) in fourth.

After a four-year suspension, Ricky Garard is in a pretty commanding lead. After Day Three, he leads 2021 Games champion Justin Medeiros by 25 points. Russian athlete Roman Khrennikov is behind Medeiros by 21 points — the top spot is still very much up for grabs.

Echo Press Results

Event Seven — but really the eighth event on the leaderboard — rounds out Day Three in brutal fashion. The event is currently underway, with the men having wrapped. Will Moorad snuck out the win, with leader Ricky Garard logging his worst performance (he’s still in first overall). Justin Medeiros is still in second overall and managed to close the gap to Garard; he trails by just 25 points. 

Alexis Raptis took Echo Press — handily! Toomey extended her lead over O’Brien with a second-place finish, and Emma McQuaid of Ireland came in third.

Up and Over Results

Though it’s listed as Event Six by CrossFit, Up and Over is the seventh event of the CrossFit Games. (Event Two consisted of two workouts which were counted as separate events.)

Toomey’s stiffest competition remains against O’Brien, who refuses to let up. After Up and Over, Toomey has a mere five-point lead over the young American. Lawson of Canada isn’t too far behind, either, but will have to remain consistent if she wants to fend off Haley Adams.

Wednesday Results

The CrossFit Games got off to a rocky start. There was confusion in Event One with athletes performing too few or too many bike laps, causing the leaderboard to sit in flux. The issue was eventually resolved, but then a storm caused a multi-hour rain delay between Team heats. 

As a result, Event Two — which is set to be performed outside — was moved to Thursday, August 4. Thursday was a planned rest day for athletes.

Event One Results

Toomey was the obvious favorite going into the event. Though the Australian didn’t disappoint, it was American Haley Adams who came with with the win, finishing three seconds faster than the five-time Fittest Woman on Earth®. This was Adams’s first career event win at the CrossFit Games.

Note: There was confusion on the field as some athletes did not seem to complete the required number of laps during the biking portion of the event. After a few hours, CrossFit made an announcement in regards to how the event would be scored. 

According to CrossFit, Spencer Panchik, Lazar Dukic, Danielle Brandon, and Elena Carratala Sanahuja missed laps. Their slowest lap time was added to their recorded time as a way to recalculate their final scores.

Seungyeon Choi logged an extra lap. CrossFit reviewed the footage and recorded the accurate time based on the work she was meant to put in.

Time cap: 50 minutes

Event Three Results 

Due to poor weather, CrossFit moved Event Two to Thursday, Aug. 4, and skipped right to Event Three. This unique workout narrowed down the field in three phases, all of which were harder to complete on a technical level. Competitors had fewer pegboard climbs to contend with, but had to nail increasingly difficult jump rope and handstand walks.

The biggest shocker was that Tia-Clair Toomey didn’t make it past the first round, finishing the event in 23rd. It was her worst Games event performance since 2015, placing her in ninth overall. 

In the final stage of Event Three, no woman could get past the double-under crossovers. Danielle Brandon, who ultimately won the event, was visibly frustrated.

Event Four Results

On any regular day, Elizabeth would see athletes blitz through a descending rep scheme of 21-15-9 for thrusters and ring dips. But this is the CrossFit Games, so you can safely assume that the event engineers are going to take whatever WOD exists and alter it just enough to challenge the fittest people on the planet. 

This remix of Elizabeth — Elizabeth Elevated — swapped thrusters for squat cleans and ring dips for parallel dips with parallel bar traverses.

FAQs

Who won the CrossFit Games in 2021?

Last year, Tia-Clair Toomey of Australia clinched her fifth win in the Individual Women’s division, tying her with five-time Games winner Mat Fraser. If Toomey wins the Games this year, she’ll be the winningest Individual athlete of all time. Toomey is also a 2018 Commonwealth Games weightlifting champion, a 2016 Olympian (weightlifting), and holds the record for the most CrossFit Games event wins (33).

Justin Medeiros became the first man since Fraser’s dominant reign to win the Games. At 22 years old, Medeiros won just one event (out of 15) to capture his first Games victory. He placed out of the the top 10 just twice throughout the comp.
