Tia-Clair Toomey once again captured her sixth CrossFit Games title, surpassing Mat Fraser for most of all time. Meanwhile, on men’s side, Justin Medeiros became the sixth person to ever win multiple titles joining Toomey, Fraser, Rich Froning Jr., and Annie Thorisdottir.

Justin Medeiros didn’t start off as the leader, at the start of Days 2 and Day 3, Australian Ricky Garard was on top of the competition. But during Day 3, Medeiros out-performed Garrard, as well as Roman Khrennikov, Lazar Dukic, and Patrick Vellner. Once Medeiros took the leadership he continued strong.

Justin Medeiros is now one of just six individual athletes to win the CrossFit Games more than once.

Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr’s performance at this year’s games was not what you would call flawless. Starting off strong, she surprisingly ended up in eighth place after Day One and 23rd after the third event. Her perseverance paid off as she finished off Day 2 in third place, Day 3 in the first place, and held the title until the end of the competition.

Roman Khrennikov’s performance at the Games was nothing short of amazing. The Russian athlete came in second place after four years of trying to receive a visa to get into the country and compete, proving that he is just as good if not better than any other competitor here today.

Ricky Garard’s return to competition was met with much fanfare, as he took bronze in his second overall Games appearance. However, it wasn’t without controversy; following a positive drug test for 4 years which resulted from banned performance-enhancing substances being detected within his system after all – Ricky was being stripped away any chance at an award or medal. But now that Australia has welcomed back its top-notch athlete into Olympic circles, he has defied their expectations.

Outside of the top three, the front end of the leaderboard was dominated by the veterans such as Samuel Kwant, Jeffery Adler, Patrick Vellner, and Jayson Hopper.

Going into next season there are a couple of young competitors worth attention – Guilhermes Malheiros (10th) and Saxon Panchick (11th).
