2023 CrossFit Games Results — Individual & Teams Day Two [Live Updates]
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.

Day Two Workout Recap For Individuals
The Alpaca Redux
The first event on day two of the 2023 CrossFit Games was all about the heavy sled push. The competitors had to really dig in their heels and push as hard as possible. The rope climbs presented a unique twist to the event, as those who are more proficient in them were able to make up a lot of time.
For time:
126-foot sled push, starting with all six kettlebells
Then 3 rounds for time:
2 legless rope climbs
12 kettlebell clean and jerks
42-foot sled push, starting with two kettlebells* (53/70 lb)
*add two kettlebells to the sled after each round
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
Dallin Pepper — 13:57.83

Helena
The Helena workout might look simple at first glance, but due to it being three rounds long, the pacing plays a big factor. This workout is in between a sprint and endurance event, so picking up speed at just the right time might be crucial.
3 rounds for time:
400-meter run
12 bar muscle-ups
21 dumbbell snatches (35/50 lb)

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.

2023 World’s Strongest Man Day Two Event Recap
Conan’s Wheel
The Conan’s Wheel is despised by the majority of Strongman athletes due to the pain that it produces, but it is very effective in separating the best performers. In this event, the athletes have to pick up a 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) beam, which pivots around a fixed point in the center, and carry the weight for as long as possible. Having to perform the event for max distance, the athletes are not allowed to drop it at all since that would mark the end of their attempt. The beam is usually placed on the forearms of the athletes, meaning that the entire body has to be activated in order to perform well.
The result is measured in degrees, with 360° equaling one full circle.
Group One
Pavlo Kordiyaka is notoriously great at this event and he expectedly won the event by completing just over two full circles. He utilized a technique of controlled breathing and a steady pace to win, an event of this magnitude demonstrates the importance of planning in advance.
Pa O’Dwyer finished in second with 722 degrees and was the only man close to Pavlo. However, Pa almost fainted at the end of the event, having dropped his entire upper body over the beam in order to stay on his feet. Bobby Thompson covered 649 degrees for a third place finish.
The first surprise of the day was also seen in group one, as Tom Stoltman finished in last place. He started off well, but his forearms slipped down very quickly, making it harder for him to hold the beam.
Pavlo Kordiyaka — 742 °
Pa O’Dwyer — 722 °
Bobby Thompson — 649 °
Konstantine Janashia — 633 °
Eddie Williams — 614 °
Tom Stoltman — 598 °
Group Two
It was clear that Oleksii Novikov was determined to secure his place in the finals as early as possible and leave nothing to chance. By covering a distance of 897 degrees, Oleksii demolished everyone in his group and extended his overall lead to an uncatchable six points.
Gavin Bilton finished in second after a very elegant attempt. While many athletes were very unstable in this event, especially at the end, Bilton was upright and stable. He kept the same pace throughout and just suddenly dropped the beam. However, with 557 degrees, he still managed to outperform Luke Stoltman by 12 degrees.
Oleksii Novikov — 897 °
Gavin Bilton — 557 °
Luke Stoltman — 545 °
Kristján Jón Haraldsson — 524 °
Fadi El Masri — 70 °
Thomas Evans — 69 °
*Results for remaining groups are coming soon.
Kettlebell Toss
The next event at the 2023 World’s Strongest Man will be the Kettlebell Toss. It is arguably the most important event in the qualifying stage of the competition, since the first place overall will qualify for the finals. On the other hand, the fifth and sixth place overall will lose the chance to qualify at all. So, this event presents the final chance for everyone.
For the Kettlebell Toss, the athletes will be tasked with throwing seven kettlebells over a 4.57-meter tall beam. The seven implements will start at a weight of 20 kilograms (44 pounds) and progressively increase with each next one. The final kettlebell is set to weigh 31 kilograms (68.3 pounds). However, the participants only have 60 seconds to complete all implements.
*The Kettlebell Toss event is set to start at 1:20 p.m. EST. Results are coming soon.
Stone Off
The final event of the 2023 World’s Strongest Man qualifiers is the Stone Off. Only two athletes will take part in this event, and those are the second and third place finishers in each group.
The second-place finisher and third-place finisher from the same group will be stationed on two sides of one beam. The third-place winner will then lift and toss the Atlas Stone to the side of the second-place finisher, who will then do the same. This will go on until one of the men is unable to toss the Atlas Stone to the other man’s side. Consequently, the winner of this duel will secure his place in the finals, while the loser will go home.
*The Stone Off event is set to take place at 6:13 p.m. EST. Results are coming soon.
