The final day of the 2022 CrossFit Games had a doozy of an opening event. “The Alpaca” featured a custom sled filled with kettlebells and challenged the remaining athletes who survived the cut (anyone in 30th place overall or better on their respective leaderboard) to prowler pushes and kettlebell clean & jerks.
Defending five-time Fittest Woman on Earth® Tia-Clair Toomey held a 98-point lead over Mal O’Brien in second place. It seems that a sixth consecutive title was all but guaranteed for Toomey if she could avoid disaster on the final day. The race for the bronze in the Individual Women’s division was where the heat was, as Emma Lawson was only five points ahead of fourth-place Danielle Brandon.
Defending reigning Fittest Man on Earth® Justin Medeiros was 17 points ahead of second-place Ricky Garard on the overall leaderboard entering the final day. Roman Khrennikov was 22 points behind Garard, so while the Men’s leaderboard was likely going to be those three men, where on the podium they would stand was still in flux.

The event initially programmed rope climbs, but the slick conditions caused by rain compelled the CrossFit Games Demo Team and Director of Programming Adrian Bosman to remove the rope climbs for safety concerns.
Athletes will start with a sled loaded with six kettlebells. They will progress down the field, unloading pairs of kettlebells as they go. Once to the other side, they will complete 20 kettlebell clean and jerks with the first pair. They will then load the kettlebells into the sled and push it downfield to the second pair of kettlebells. They’ll do 15 clean and jerks, load the sled, and continue downfield. Then they’ll do 10 clean and jerks with the third pair of kettlebells and push the fully loaded sled to the finish line.

Event 11 Recap
All 30 remaining men in the competition took the field simultaneously for Event 11. The “Alpaca Sled” was designed by Rogue specifically for this event. Travis Mayer and Sam Kwant figured out the most efficient way to push it the quickest as they were the first two to reach the first round of clean & jerks.
Vellner and Khrennikov joined Kwant and Mayer in the lead, but Khrennikov was the first back to the sled. Garard was towards the front of the field, but notably ahead of Medeiros, who was the only man in the event he cared to beat.
Justin Medeiros has fallen off the pace — currently eighth in the heat!
Khrennikov furthered his lead, but Garard and Kwant did their best to prevent Khrennikov from running away with it. Khrennikov paid them no heed as he took his second event win of the competition. Kwant was the runner up with Vellner behind him. Medeiros surged at the final moment to overtake Garard and finish two ranks ahead, extending his lead over the Australian.
