See coverage here. 2010: CrossFit Games – Los Angeles, California; 2011: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California; 2012: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California; 2013: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California; 2014: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California; 2015: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California; 2016: Reebok CrossFit Games – Carson, California.
The 2015 CrossFit Games were the ninth CrossFit Games, which were held on July 21–26, 2015 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.[1]Ben Smith was the men's winner, and Katrin Davidsdottir was the women's winner. The Affiliate Cup was won by CrossFit Mayhem Freedom from Cookeville, Tennessee, captained by four-time individual men's champion Rich Froning Jr. who moved to team competition this year.[2]
In the 2015 season, the 17 regions of previous seasons were combined into 8 'super-regions' for the Regionals. This season a Teenage competition for boys and girls was added in the Open for two age groups. The Teenage and Masters Games events were the same and took place from July 21–23.
Both the men's and women's competitions were closely fought at the Games. Ben Smith, a Games competitor every year since 2009, won for the first time (he placed third in 2011 and 2013), having secured the win only in the final event by holding off 2014's second-place finisher Mat Fraser who many had predicted would be the 2015 champion. In the women's competition, Iceland's Katrin Davidsdottir overtook fellow countrywoman Sara Sigmundsdóttir, who led for much of the competition, in the final event.[2]Tia-Clair Toomey, who made her debut at this year's Games, finished second and was named Rookie of the Year.[3]
Qualification[edit]
Mat Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey have won the stage one of the 2020 CrossFit Games. Starting with Stage One, the 2020 CrossFit Games is underway. Here is the results and leaderboard from the highly anticipated competition. With current situations in the world, the 2020 CrossFit Games has been forced to a hybrid format. Ben Smith was the men's winner, and Katrin Davidsdottir was the women's winner. The Affiliate Cup was won by CrossFit Mayhem Freedom from Cookeville, Tennessee, captained by four-time individual men's champion Rich Froning Jr. Who moved to team competition this year.
Approximately 273,000 participants signed up for the 2015 CrossFit Games Open, which was held over the course of five weeks from February 26 to March 30, 2015.[4] There were 6 scored events in the Open this year – the first workout was split into two parts.[5] A scaled division with official scaled version of workouts was introduced this year. Also this year winner of each state and country would be crowned the State and National champions.[6] The top 20 men, 20 women, and 15 teams from the 12 American and Canadian regions, the top 30 men, 30 women, and 20 teams in the European and Australian regions, and the top 10 men, 10 women, and 10 teams from Latin America, Africa, and Asia qualified for the CrossFit Regionals.[4]
The Regionals were modified this year – the 17 regions were combined into 8 'super-regions', and the top athletes from each of the 17 regions were funnelled into these 'Super Regionals'.[7] For example, the NorCal and SoCal Regionals were combined into one California Regional, with 40 men, 40 women and 30 teams competing. Five men and women from this region qualifying for the CrossFit Games.[8][9] The scoring system for the Regionals was also changed this year; in previous year it had the same system as the Open (one point for first, two for second, etc.), starting this year the scoring table system used in the Games was adopted for the Regionals (e.g. 100 points for first, 95 for second, etc.).[10] After three days of Regional competitions held around the world, 40 men, 40 women, and 40 teams qualified for the Games.
in 2015, the CrossFit Games also added a Teenage competition to the Open in two age groups (14-15 and 16-17) for boys and girls. Towards the end of the Open, it was announced that the top 10 in each age group after the completion of the Open would qualify to participate in the Games.[11] Masters athletes who qualified through the Open then competed in an online Games qualification, called the Masters Qualifier, instead of Regionals. The top 20 Masters men and women in each age group were invited to participate at the Games.[12]
Individual[edit]
As in previous years, the men's and women's competitions were similar, with the only differences being weights of lifted objects, heights of obstacles, etc. Elements introduced for the first time this year included open-ocean paddleboarding and peg board climbing.[2]
Wednesday, July 22, 2015[edit]
Event 1: Pier Paddle[edit]
- 500 meter ocean swim
- 2 mile paddle
- 500 meter ocean swim
For the fourth straight year, the CrossFit Games began on the Wednesday before the traditional weekend events. The Games have started with a swim every year since 2011, with this year's event consisted of 500 meters of ocean swimming, followed by two miles of paddling on a paddleboard, and finished with another 500 meters of ocean swimming.
Jonne Koski won the event for the men and Kara Webb won for the women.
Event 2: Sandbag 2015[edit]
The athletes moved weighted sandbags across the tennis stadium in the StubHub Center. They started by carrying/dragging the sandbags from the top of the stadium down to the floor, used a wheelbarrow to take them to the other side, and then pushed them over a wall and carried them to the top of the stadium. The men had to move 720 pounds and the women had 480 pounds total weight of sandbags. This event was nearly identical to an event held in 2010 except that the weight was increased and the wheelbarrows were specially made to handle the weight.
Lukas Högberg and Anna Tunnicliffe won the event men's and women's events, respectively.
Friday, July 24, 2015[edit]
Event 3: Murph[edit]
Crossfit Games Women
While wearing a weighted vest (20lb. for men / 14lb. for the women):
- 1 mile run,
- 100 pull-ups
- 200 push-ups
- 300 air squats
- 1 mile run
Murph is named after fallen sailor US Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, and it is usually performed by American affiliates on Memorial Day. The event was held on a very hot afternoon at the Games, and the heat caused problems for a number of athletes such as Kara Webb and Annie Thorisdottir.[13] Both Webb and Thorisdottir suffered from heat stroke in the event, Webb collapsed at the finish line and Thorisdottir failed to finish.[14] Although Thorisdottir carried on competing for a few more events, she had to withdraw eventually due to the ill-effects from this event.[15]
Björgvin Karl Guðmundsson won the men's event and Samantha Briggs won the women's. Samantha Briggs finished the event faster than any of the men aside from Guðmundsson.[14]
Event 4: Snatch Speed Ladder[edit]
Three rounds of:
- 5 squat snatches
Within each round, each snatch is heavier than the last (a 'ladder'), and the starting weight increases each round. Those who complete the ladder the fastest move on to the next round. Jon Pera won the men's event and Brooke Ence won the women's.[14]
Event 5: Heavy DT[edit]
Five rounds for time, with a 205-pound barbell for the men and a 145-pound barbell for the women:
- 12 Deadlifts
- 9 hang power cleans
- 6 jerks
'DT' is a CrossFit hero workout named for fallen airman USAF SSgt. Timothy P. Davis, and usually performed with a 155-pound/105-pound barbell for men/women. The event was announced after event 4, and the audience were given a choice of two different versions of DT for the athletes to compete in: Double DT or Heavy DT, and they chose Heavy DT.[14]
Ben Smith won the men's event and Sara Sigmundsdottir won the women's.[14]
Saturday, July 25, 2015[edit]
Events 6 & 7: Sprint Course 1 & 2[edit]
A sprint across the soccer field at the StubHub Center through four pylons in a zig-zag and over four hurdles. Sprint Course 1 started with the four pylons followed by the hurdles and Sprint Course 2 was in the opposite direction after one minute of rest.
Dan Bailey won both events for the men and Lindy Barber won Sprint Course 1 for the women while Kristin Holte won Sprint Course 2.
Event 8: Soccer Chipper[edit]
- 100 foot 'Pig' flip
- 4 legless rope climbs
- 100 foot handstand walk
The event took place on the soccer field and started with flipping a weighted box called a 'pig'. The box weight was 560 pounds for the men and 395 for the women, and the length was over 6 feet, making the flips more difficult than shorter objects that many athletes had trained with. The first two legless rope climbs were done on a 2-inch diameter rope and the last two on a 1.5-inch diameter rope. The handstand walks had to be completed in 50-foot unbroken increments.
Fraser struggled in flipping the pig, which led to his failure to finish the legless rope climb. The event was won by Ben Smith, and as a result Fraser lost his large lead over Smith, and Smith took over as leader.[16] Elisabeth Akinwale won for the women.[17]
Event 9: Clean & Jerk[edit]
- 1 rep max Clean & Jerk
Each athlete gets two 20-second windows in which to attempt their heaviest clean and jerk for one repetition.
Aaron Hanna won the event with a 350-pound lift for the men and Brooke Ence won with a 242-pound lift for the women.
Crossfit Games Results By Year
Event 10: Triangle Couplet[edit]
15–10–6 repetitions of:
- Thrusters
- Bar muscle-ups
Named 'Triangle Couplet' because the repetitions per round are all triangular numbers. A thruster in CrossFit is a combination of a front squat and push press in one continuous movement and the weights were 165-pounds for the men and 115-pounds for the women. A bar muscle-up is a pull-up variant in which the athlete pulls themselves over the top of the pull-up bar and finishes with the bar at their hips.
Mathew Fraser won for the men and Camille Leblanc-Bazinet won for the women.
Sunday, July 26, 2015[edit]
Event 11: Midline Madness[edit]
Six rounds of:
- 400 meter run
- 50 foot yoke carry
The event took place inside the soccer stadium with the 400 meter run going up the stadium stairs, behind the jumbotron, and down the stars on the other side. The yoke, weighing 380 pounds for the men and 300 pounds for the women, was carried 300 feet across the soccer field.
Jacob Heppner won for the men and Samantha Briggs won for the women.[18]
Event 12: Pedal to the Metal 1[edit]
- 3 peg board ascents
- 24-calorie row
- 16-calorie bike
- 8 dumbbell squat snatches
The peg board ascents involved climbing a peg board using only two wooden pegs. The 24 calories were rowed on a Concept-2rowing machine. The 16 calories were pedaled on an Assault AirBike. The dumbbell squat snatches are performed with a 100-pound/70-pound dumbbell for the men/women respectively and done with alternating arms. The peg board was introduced for the first time which many athletes found difficult, and only three women completed the peg board ascents and none completed the event.[2][19]
Spencer Hendel won for the men and Margaux Alvarez for the women. Mat Fraser finished second, which gave him an overall lead of just two points in front of Ben Smith going into the final event.
Event 13: Pedal to the Metal 2[edit]
- 12 parallette deficit handstand push-ups
- 24-calorie row
- 16-calorie bike
- 8 kettlebell deadlifts
This event took place two minutes after Event 12. The handstand push-ups were performed against a wall. The row and bike were identical to the previous event. The deadlifts were performed with a 203-pound/124-pound (men/women) kettlebell in each hand, and after every two lifts, the weights were carried forward.
Spencer Hendel won again for the men in the event. Ben Smith finished fourth but well before Mat Fraser, thereby emerged the overall winner of the 2015 Games. Katrin Tanja Davidsdottir won for the women's event, which made her champion of the Games.

The CrossFit Games is the final of three events in the CrossFit Games season, and the most elite competition in the sport of CrossFit. This year was meant to be the first year of the new CrossFit Games season structure. With the season starting off with the Open in October, followed by 28 sanctional events throughout the year, and the games as the final event in August of 2021. However, the season took a swift turn due to a number of reasons, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Below you’ll find out about how the 2020 CrossFit Games season panned out, and a list of all of the 2020 CrossFit Games winners.
CrossFit Open
The season starts out with the CrossFit Open as the first competition. The Open is an event which anyone over 14 years old in the world can participate in. The registration and cost is $20 per participant. Each participant makes a video recording of them completing each workout and submits their scores for five workouts over five weeks. There is a single workout each week (20.1, 20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5) and participants get to try the workout as many times as they want in the week long period to submit the best score possible.
It’s a cool event because of its democracy. Each participant enters their results into a public database on the CrossFit website. Therefore each participant can see how they stack up against all other participants in the world. By the end of the event, the top man and woman from the CrossFit Open will earn a spot to the CrossFit Games. Also, the top 20 men and women worldwide will rise to the top of the leaderboard and automatically qualify to participate at the CrossFit Games.
Congratulations to the National champions and winners of the 2020 CrossFit Open, Patrick Vellner who won the men’s individual competition and Ragnheiður Sara Sigmundsdottir who won the woman’s individual.
CrossFit Sanctionals
The CrossFit Sanctioned events are now the second pathway for top men, women and team athletes to receive invitations to the Games. This year was meant to be the second year to see CrossFit Sanctional events in the CrossFit Games season. The season would span the globe with 28 events in 21 different countries on six continents. Each Sanctional event is a separate event, and are now the only direct pathway for teams to compete at the CrossFit Games. The goal of the Sanctionals is for male and female individual athletes and teams to take first place and earn an invitation to compete at the CrossFit Games. Winners of the Sanctional events do not have to compete in The Open, but are incentivized to participate for improving their ranking at the CrossFit Games. In 2020 these sanctioned events were meant to occur from November 2019 to October 2020.
Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic things took a turn for the worst, and all but 10 Sanctionals were able to go ahead. These are the sanctioned events that took place for the 2020 CrossFit Games season:
- CrossFit Filthy 150: Dublin, Ireland – Nov 22 – 24, 2019
- Pandaland CrossFit Challenge: Chengdu, China – Dec 7 – 8, 2019
- Dubai CrossFit Championship: Dubai, UAE – Dec 11 – 14, 2019
- CrossFit Mayhem Classic: Tennessee, USA – Jan 10 – 14, 2020
- CrossFit Strength in Depth: London, UK – Jan 24 -26, 2020
- Norwegian CrossFit Championship: Col, Norway – Feb 14 – 16, 2020
- Wodapalooza CrossFit Festival: Florida, USA – Feb 20 – 23, 2020
- Australia CrossFit Championship: QLD, Australia – Mar 5 – 8, 2020
- Brazil CrossFit Championship: Sao Paulo, Brazil – Mar 6 – 8, 2020
Congratulations to all of the winners from each of these Sanctioned events. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic all of the winners of these events were not invited to participate in the 2020 CrossFit Games this year.
CrossFit Games
The CrossFit Games is to the sport of CrossFit what the Superbowl is to the sport of football. This is the final event in the CrossFit Games series and in the past, after 3 days of grueling competition, one individual man, woman, and team are crowned the 2020 Fittest on Earth. This year we were meant to see hundreds of CrossFit Games athletes compete from more than 100 different countries.
However, this year was an unprecedented year for CrossFit.Inc, when CEO Greg Glassman made a very controversial statement, which highlighted many underlying issues within CrossFit, Inc that came to head and needed to be accounted for. Shortly after many HQ staff quit, affiliates de-affiliated and athletes withdrew from the 2020 CrossFit Games. Because of this Greg Glassman stepped down and retired as CEO, and shortly after the 100% purchase of CrossFit, Inc was made by Eric Roza. Eric became the official new owner and CEO of CrossFit, Inc in July, 2020. Due to this new sale, we saw many changes and HQ staff, affiliates and athletes re-affiliated with CrossFit, Inc. The Games would also go on, but they would now only showcase the individual athletes, seeing teams, masters and teen competitions all cancelled. Plus, there would be a new format for the final stage of the 2020 CrossFit Games.
The 2020 CrossFit Games – Stage 1
Stage 1 of the 2020 CrossFit Games became an online event which included the top 30 men and 30 women who were invited to compete in their homes or local gyms in one of 16 different countries. The top 5 men and women from Stage 1 would earn a spot in the final five of Stage 2, and the final in-person event at The Ranch in Aromas, Northern California. This innovative new format was to help protect the safety of athletes, while delivering a world-class Games experience to identify the world’s fittest individuals.
“The world is dealing with an unprecedented crisis. After extensive discussions with athletes and public health officials, we decided that this format was the best way to preserve the spirit and substance of the Games and ensure athletes can compete for the title of Fittest on Earth in a safe and fair manner.” – Dave Castro, CrossFit Director of Sport.
Due to travel restrictions and circumstances beyond control, the dates for the 2020 Reebok CrossFit Games were adjusted, and Stage 1 was 2 days of competition and took place September 18 – 19th, 2020.
