August 8

Good morning and welcome to the Morning Chalk Up. The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games are over, and we were everywhere so check our website and social media for everything and anything related to this year’s competition.

Note: The Morning Chalk Up will not be publishing the newsletter August 9-12, as we will be taking some much needed R&R, but we’ll be back in action the following week, so don’t go anywhere.

2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games Finale Recap

The final day of the 16th annual NOBULL CrossFit Games in Madison, WI is over, and with that the 2022 Games season has concluded.

Well, it’s all done, and the champions have been crowned for another year. Although it looked like we might have some new blood atop the podiums, this year turned out to be exactly like last year as all three champions – Justin Medeiros, Tia-Clair Toomey and Rich Froning’s CrossFit Mayhem Freedom all won, again. But we saw some new faces join the fold, most notably Emma Lawson, Arielle Loewen, Ricky Garard and Roman Khrennikov, so the future is definitely bright

One big number: This is now the number of all numbers: six. That is the amount of straight titles Toomey has won, which puts her ahead of Froning’s four and Mat Fraser’s five.
