There has been quite a bit of discussion about the events, both included and left out at this year’s Games.

Some argue that this year’s programming did not accurately test for the Fittest on Earth while others say it was one of the most well-designed years to date.

In this article, we will review some of the events and modalities that were not included at the Games this year along with our thoughts on how this affected the final placings for the athletes.

  • We will also include some commentary from Emily Beers’ interview with 2023 fourth Fittest Man on Earth, Brent Fikowski to see what his conclusions were after he reviewed the events of the weekend.
