Event 10 Results — Muscle-Up Logs

The “Muscle-Up Logs” tested athletes’ upper-body strength and endurance. Athletes performed five rounds of the below for time:

• Seven ring muscle-ups
• Sandbag carry across a field while passing over three progressively taller logs (four feet, five feet, and five-foot five-inches)

Adler (7:28.70) just edged out Jonne Koski (7:31.43) by mere seconds for the event win. On the Women’s side, Laura Horvath began her final charge toward a title with a victorious time of 8:41.22. Notably, Roman Khrennikov reportedly suffered a serious foot injury during the event. It severely hampered his mobility, all but unofficially taking away his chances for the title. The athlete decided not to withdraw, persevering through the final few events in the interest of a competitive spirit.

Event 11 Results — Parallel Bar Pull

In true CrossFit Games tradition, details about the final two events were not revealed until the last minute. The “Parallel Bar Pull” was naturally quite a surprise. Athletes had a 15-minute time limit for eight rounds of the below:

• “Down and back” parallel bar traverse
• 30 heavy-rope double-unders
• Hand-over-hand sled pull (345-pound sled for Men, 290-pound sled for Women)

Horvath once again captured a crucial event win with a time of 8:36.46. On the Men’s side, Brent Fikowski helped solidify a personal top-five finish with a time of 7:45.08.

Event 12 Results — Echo Thruster Final

The Echo Thruster was a fitting and comprehensive conclusion to the 2023 CrossFit Games. Here it is, laid out and for time:

• 21 calories echo bike
• 21 reps thrusters (115 pounds for Men, 85 pounds for Women)
• 18 calories echo bike
• 18 reps thrusters (135 pounds for Men, 95 pounds for Women)
• 15 calories echo bike
• 15 reps thrusters (155 pounds for Men, 105 pounds for Women)
• 66-foot overhead walking lunge (155 pounds for Men, 105 pounds for Women)

Dallin Pepper finished with a time of 6:44.79 to cement himself in the final Men’s Individual top five. Olivia Kersetter set the pace for the Women with a time of 7:22.25.

With two new Individual CrossFit Games champions, the sport could be entering a new era. Horvath and Adler will take their respective torches and try and begin their own successful reigns at the top.
