With only two events left in the 2022 CrossFit Games, what better way to reenter the Coliseum in Madison, WI, than with the heaviest deadlift ever programmed in Games history? That’s what the remaining athletes in the competition following the 10-athlete cut at the end of Day Four were compelled to do.
Jeffrey Adler is a master when it comes to moving heavy barbells under time pressure. He closed the deal in Event 12. He scored his second event win of the Games. Justin Medeiros ranked third overall in the event, extending his overall lead with only one event to go. Roman Khrennikov finished sixth, moving further into the silver-medal position as Ricky Garard fell to 13th in the event.

Event 12 Recap
Houdet got out to an early lead in the first heat, but Georges took it from him going into the first front squat. Haapalainen “got buried” by the first barbell after losing his balance and falling backward. Fortunately, no injury was sustained.
Georges completed heat one in a blistering time of 1:29.25 seconds. Houdet had a hiccup on the yoke back to the finish but got across second in 1:57.63. Crouch came in 10 seconds later and Vigneault 14 seconds after that.
Haapalaninen and Paulson both got in within the time cap. Upenieks and Zenoni struggled in the final yoke. The former made in with only a few seconds to spare, but the latter got capped.
Men’s Heat Two
Malheiros and Mayer were the first two athletes in heat two to clear the yoke. Mayer opted for an overhand grip in the deadlift, while Malheiros chose to go mixed grip. The Brazilian was the first athlete back to the yoke, but he would not finish in time to best Georges’ time from heat one.
Mayer crossed the finish line second in the heat at 1:56.50. Ohlsen, competing in his ninth consecutive Games, finished third in the heat at 2:19.92. Mathew and Pepper both dove over the line within half a second of each other. Koski closed right before the three-minute mark.
Spencer Panchik and Brent Fikowski got over the finish line right before the time cap, but Sager and Austin Spencer were left out on the competition floor.
Men’s Heat Three
The final heat saw the men who would likely end up on the podium clash — Medeiros, Garard, and Khrennikov. They only had to think about beating each other as the gap between them and Kwant in fourth overall was nearly 200 points.
Adler smoked the first yoke but got a no rep on the first front squat. He still maintained his lead despite Khrennikov and Medeiros right on his tail. Garard fell behind on the first yoke, and Medeiros and Khrennikov capitalized. Adler finished with an event win. Medeiros’ unbroken second yoke scored him second in the heat. Garard took 13th in the event, “bleeding points.”

One Event to Go
There is one event left at the 2022 CrossFit Games before the Fittest on Earth® are crowned. Titled “Jackie Pro,” it combines rowing, thrusters, and muscle-ups. We’ll see if Medeiros can hold off Khrennikov to win back-to-back Games titles.
