The action continues on day two of the 2023 CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, as the athletes face three workouts in each of the men’s, women’s, and team divisions. Day two marks the final stretch for certain athletes, with CrossFit implementing a roster cut. Following the completion of every workout on day two, the leaderboards will be finalized, and those who rank below 30th place will be cut out of the lineup. So, a lot of excitement awaits in every aspect of today.
Roman Khrennikov is wearing the leader’s jersey going into day two for the first time in his career, so his main goal will be maintaining or increasing the gap between him and his rivals. On the other hand, Alexis Raptis has a substantial lead over her competitors, with some good events scheduled for her on day two as well.

Men’s Results
After experiencing what it is like to be the overall leader at the 2023 CrossFit Games, Roman Khrennikov decided that he did not want to let go of his first place. So, with a large desire for the title, Roman left everything on the sunny grass pitch in Madison and won the workout with a time of 12:34. Once the event was finished, Roman did not have the strength to walk, but instead crawled to the nearest fan to cool down.
Unlike the majority of other athletes, Jack Farlow did not mind the sun and the heat since he was able to claim second place in this event. He was the only other man, apart from Roman, to finish in under 13 minutes. Brent Fikowski was also close, but he ended up with a time of 13:21 minutes, which secured him third place.
- Roman Krennikov — 12:34.59
- Jack Farlow — 12:54.31
- Brent Fikowski — 13:21.91

With Tia-Clair Toomey not even taking part in the 2023 CrossFit Games, we are guaranteed to see a new women’s champion after six years. However, the reigning men’s champion, Justin Medeiros, faced a challenging start to the competition with a poor performance. With his chances of reclaiming the top position seeming slim, the likelihood of a new champion being crowned in the men’s division is quite significant.
