The final event of the 2022 CrossFit Games was upon the athletes in Madison, WI. Rowing, thrusters, and bar muscle-ups were all that stood between them and the award ceremony. Defending five-time Fittest Woman on Earth® Tia-Clair Toomey was effectively locked for her sixth Games title with an insurmountable lead. Mal O’Brien was in position to be the youngest athlete to ever finish on the Games podium at age 18.
Justin Medeiros appeared as though he would defend his Games title for the second year in a row as Ricky Garard, who led through the first two days, was not maintaining the same pace in the latter half of the Games. Roman Khrennikov made a late surge and moved into the silver-medal position and sought to maintain that spot for his Games debut.

Event 13 Recap
The opening heat for the men got underway, and a solid base pace across the board seemed to be the strategy. The commentary team said that the required pace to not get dropped from the event in the row portion was a sub 1:37 500-meter split.
Briant and Paulson were the first to clear the ergometers. As the rest of the heat joined them, the thrusters made the athletes look like pistons in the wide shot. Paulson continued to lead the heat — he was a full 10 thrusters ahead going into the fourth set of 10.
Paulson’s lead extended into the final set of thrusters, but didn’t hold as Crouch was first to the muscle-ups. Upenieks hopped into the muscle-ups without rest and overtook the lead in the heat. He went through 12 reps before stopping to rest.
During that rest, Briant got a grasp of the lead and didn’t let it go. He crossed the finish line at 8:52.79 to win heat one. Upenieks crossed the line second at 9:15.21. Crouch finished eight seconds later. Two men did not finish within the time cap.
Men’s Heat Two
The pace on the rowers was the same for heat two; athletes treated it as a buy-in to elevate their heart rates. Every athlete in the heat paced their rows exactly right to finish with the 3:15 requirement. Lazar ?uki? took the least amount of rest and got to an early lead in the thrusters.
?uki? and Sager were in a two-person race for the lead in the heat as they began their final set of thrusters. A momentary break by ?uki? and Sager was the first to the muscle-ups. However, ?uki? took the lead right back after Sager paused at the rig.
Sager and ?uki? had 10 reps to go with plenty of time to go to beat Briant’s time from heat one. ?uki? finished first and crossed the line at a time of 7:59.70 to win the heat. Sager finished 10 seconds later to close out his ninth CrossFit Games appearance.
Men’s Heat Three
Medeiros knew he could lock up his second Games title with a ninth-place finish in this event. He took a deep breath to zone in, and the opening row began. Khrennikov, Hopper, and Kwant were the first to the thrusters. Medeiros was trailing a bit behind but had a faster cycle rate than Garard and Khrennikov.
Hopper set the pace in the second set of thrusters by taking the least amount of rest. Kwant stayed with him. Vellner and Khrennikov were also in the mix for the lead. Medeiros increased his cycle rate more and stayed well within the range needed to defend his overall lead.
Medeiros’ cycle rate overtook the lead in the heat, and he was the first to the muscle-ups with Khrennikov. The Russian hopped onto the bar first and got a pair of reps ahead of Medeiros, but there wasn’t enough distance between them to change the overall standings.
Khrennikov did not advance to the final bar for his muscle-ups but that didn’t matter as he crossed the finish line first in a time of 8:09.71. Medeiros took a break with one rep to go, but he finished second in the heat to secure his crown as the Fittest Man on Earth®.

Medeiros Retains
With all the events for the 2022 CrossFit Games in the books, Justin Medeiros scores his second consecutive Games title. After Rich Froning’s four consecutive years as the Fittest on Earth® and Mat Fraser’s five consecutive years as Fittest on Earth®, Medeiros became the third Individual Man to claim that title in back-to-back years in CrossFit history.
