Ought to he reach his mission, the athlete will change into solely the fourth-ever Particular person competitor behind Mat Fraser (2016-2020), Rich Froning Jr. (2011-2014), and Ladies’s champion Tia-Clair Toomey (2017-2022) to win the competition on no less than three consecutive events.

Talking of Toomey, the icon and winningest Particular person athlete in CrossFit Video games historical past is not going to be current to defend her title in Madison. Toomey voluntarily vacated her throne to give attention to motherhood and her first pregnancy, although she has not closed the door on a future return. That leaves a doubtlessly seismic hole for any of the opposite Ladies’s opponents to fill in now that Toomey’s dominant reign is over. Athletes like Laura Horvath and former CrossFit Video games winner (2011-2012) Annie Thorisdottir will be some names to watch in this regard.
