What are the CrossFit Games?

“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.

The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”

Greg Glassman, CrossFit Co-Founder & CEO
3, 2, 1 — GO!

The Games are over and the results are in!

The Top Female CrossFitter for 2008 is Caity Matter of Gahanna, OH, where she trains with Rogue Fitness. Tanya Wagner took second place and Gillian Mounsey took third.

The Top Male CrossFitter for 2008 is Jason Khalipa of CrossFit Unlimited in Milpitas, CA. Josh Everett came in second, with Jeremy Thiel in third.

The Affiliate Cup was won by the team from CrossFit Oakland.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all the volunteers, spectators, and competitors for a great weekend!

This is an aerial photo of the 2008 Games, taken on Sunday morning, during the early heats of the clean & jerk workout. The run course looks flatter and easier from this angle.

In a CrossFit Movie outtake, Sevan continues his fascination with John Welbourn's clothing tastes... [wmv] [mov]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds that men's clothing is made for little girls these days... There's a serious problem when XXXL sweatshirts don't fit a 230 lb guy.

Funny, I thought from the title of this clip and the associated picture that there would be an arrow pointing out where Welbourn was standing.

The boy is big!!

Hi Ben,

We are on it, around the clock. Very soon. Glad to hear that you are excited. We are excited to share!

Yeah Welbourn is pretty funny, but he smells like sh*t.

I'm with you on that Greg.. every pair of jeans is super tight around the butt and legs, and loose around the waist. I guess why not appeal to 80%+ of America.

Sevan, are you announcing the release when you beat Caity in Man-Grace? aka never.

Ben - Sevan has issues with jealousy and hero worship. Anytime someone says anything positive about his heroes he has mixed feelings. He enjoys the compliments but he must also say something negative to hide his admiration. We know Sevan is an angry little man...maybe one day when he wins a workout or even starts to CrossFit for that matter, his self esteem will rise and we wont be subject to his anger.

The run course is the inner loop right?

Sevan & Welbourn- thanks alot for the reply! You guys both kill me! Good luck with the finishing product Sevan. John your a beast! Good Luck with your training and the rest of the season!

By Ben on November 17, 2008 5:22 PM

yes the run is the inner loop... and the outer loop.

By Pat Barber on November 17, 2008 5:45 PM

I almost died laughing! Sevan you are the best interviewer!

By Melissa Mack on November 18, 2008 6:33 PM

Damnit that is a hilarious vid. Get the movie out, Sevan! I'll go door to door selling it...
