The final day of the 2022 CrossFit Games might have been about which athletes still had plenty left in the tank. It began with an exhaustive combination of a sled push and kettlebell clean & jerks, otherwise known as “The Alpaca.” It closed with “The Jackie Pro” — an event with a classic mix of a lengthy row, a lot of thrusters, and some muscle-ups.
In the end, Tia-Clair Toomey captured her sixth CrossFit Games title, surpassing Mat Fraser for the most of all time. Meanwhile, on the Men’s side, Justin Medeiros became the fifth person to ever win multiple CrossFit Games titles, joining Toomey, Fraser, Rich Froning Jr., and Annie Thorisdottir in an exclusive club.
