Survey: Fraser, Toomey Overwhelming Fan Favorites to Win Stage One
The Morning Chalk Up took an informal survey of CrossFit Games fans over the past week, asking them which athletes they believe will finish in the top 5 and in what order. No surprise, but fans overwhelming selected reigning champions Mathew Fraser (82.9%) and Tia-Clair Toomey (88.5%) to emerge as overall winners.
