CrossFit Games 2018 winners: leader board, results, recap as Mat Fraser, Tia Toomey rule after Two-Stroke Pull, Handstand Walk, Aeneas events
Fraser and Toomey are crowned ‘Fittest on Earth’ again as they defend their titles and pick up US$300,000 each in prize money in Madison, Wisconsin
Mathew Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey have again been crowned the “Fittest on Earth” after retaining their titles at the 2018 CrossFit Games.
The duo dominated in Madison, Wisconsin and earned prize money payouts of US$300,000. American Fraser won his third consecutive gold, while Australian Toomey made it back-to-back titles at the Aliant Energy Centre.
Fraser wore the leader’s white jersey in the men’s competition ever since the third event, the CrossFit Total. He only picked up two more event wins but was consistently a high finisher, with his lowest finish 11th on the Marathon Row. His only other finish outside the top five was the Chaos (ninth).
On Sunday, Fraser ended up winning by a remarkable 220 points after taking fourth place in the Two-Stroke Pull (14 minutes, 6.03 seconds) and third in the Handstand Walk (1:44.99), before capping things off in style with a victory in the Aeneas (3:56.47).
Fraser is now just one title off the all-time record of four held by Rich Froning – who won the team competition with CrossFit Mayhem Freedom on Sunday.
