After 12 events and two demanding days of competition, the 2026 CrossFit Games were beginning to reveal their leading contenders, but the race for the title of Fittest on Earth remained wide open.
James Sprague and Aimee Cringle headed into Day 3 atop the men’s and women’s leaderboards after delivering some of the most consistent performances of the competition. Both athletes had excelled across an incredibly varied test of fitness that included endurance running, open water swimming, heavy lifting, technical gymnastics, and high-skill barbell work.
Despite their leads, neither division was close to being decided. On the men’s side, just 34 points separated James Sprague from fourth-placed Dallin Pepper, with Jay Crouch and Justin Medeiros also firmly in the title hunt.
The women’s race was equally compelling, as Lucy Campbell and Emma Lawson were separated by only five points in the battle for second behind Cringle. With six events still remaining, every workout on Day 3 had the potential to transform the overall standings, setting the stage for one of the most pivotal days of the 2026 CrossFit Games.

Event 13: 500m run
Day 3 of the 2026 CrossFit Games continued with Event 13, a fast and furious 500-meter run worth 50 points. Although one of the shortest events of the weekend, the sprint demanded explosive speed, perfect positioning, and the ability to accelerate through the finish line.
For both the men and women, getting out quickly proved to be one of the biggest factors in determining the final result.
Women
The women’s race opened at a blistering pace as Haley Adams and Danielle Brandon immediately surged to the front of the field. Ellie Turner, Aimee Cringle, Madeline Sturt, and Alex Gazan stayed close behind as the athletes fought for position over the opening meters.
With only 500 meters to cover, there was little opportunity to recover from a poor start. Athletes needed to establish position early to avoid becoming trapped behind competitors.
Cringle executed her race perfectly. Remaining within striking distance before the final straight, the British athlete unleashed a powerful finishing sprint that blew the competition away over the final length of the course.
She crossed the line first ahead of Australia’s Madeline Sturt, while Alex Gazan finished third.

The victory marked another impressive running performance from Cringle, who had already won the Ranch 7200 trail run earlier in the competition. Winning both the longest running event and the shortest demonstrated her remarkable versatility as one of the Games’ strongest runners.
“I used to do track and field when I was little and I think it helped,” Cringle said after the race.
Her performances across both events showed she can dominate at either end of the running spectrum, from endurance to pure speed.
Men
The men’s competition was contested over two heats.
Heat One
Robinson exploded off the start and led the early stages of the race. Souza, Hamming, and Saxon Panchik all stayed in contention as the athletes sprinted toward the finish.
The race came down to an incredibly close finish between Souza and Hamming.
Souza crossed the line first in 1:13.98, narrowly defeating Hamming, who stopped the clock at 1:14.18.
Heat Two
The second heat featured several of the overall contenders.
Guilherme Malheiros immediately took the lead, with Ricky Garard, Jay Crouch, and Jeff Adler all close behind through the opening section.
Garard was the first athlete to reach the final turn and also the first around the last corner, but Malheiros remained right on his shoulder as the pair accelerated toward the finish line.
The final straight became a head-to-head sprint between the Australian and the Brazilian. Garard found another gear over the closing meters, turning on the afterburners before pumping his chest as he crossed the finish line to claim the event victory.
After the race, Garard was confident that he always had the win under control.
“I knew I had the race from the start… like drag racing but on foot and not in a car.”
Running Specialists Shine Again
Like Cringle, Garard also added a second running victory to his weekend after previously winning the Ranch 7200 trail run.
Their performances highlighted an impressive quality shared by both athletes. They proved capable of winning at opposite ends of the running spectrum, excelling over a long endurance-based trail race as well as an all-out 500-meter sprint.
It served as another reminder of the extraordinary versatility demanded at the CrossFit Games, where athletes must be prepared to perform at an elite level regardless of whether the challenge lasts more than 40 minutes or little more than a minute.
Event 14: Triple Pig
The second individual event of Day 3 at the 2026 CrossFit Games featured two brand-new movements making their Games debut. Event 14, Triple Pig, blended high-skill gymnastics, rope work, and brute strength into one of the most technically demanding tests of the weekend.
Athletes raced through three progressively harder rounds featuring bar muscle-ups, the first-ever GHD wall-ball shots, triple-unders, and an increasing number of Pig flips.
For time:
- 10 bar muscle-ups
- 15 GHD wall-ball shots
- 20 triple-unders
- 1 Pig flip
- 15 bar muscle-ups
- 20 GHD wall-ball shots
- 25 triple-unders
- 2 Pig flips
- 20 bar muscle-ups
- 25 GHD wall-ball shots
- 30 triple-unders
- 3 Pig flips
Women
Aimee Cringle entered Event 14 with a lead of more than 100 points over second-place Lucy Campbell and continued to look untouchable throughout the workout.
Heat One
The opening heat immediately highlighted how challenging the new movements would be. The unfamiliar GHD wall-ball shots slowed many athletes, while the triple-unders quickly became the biggest separator in the field.
Ella Wilkinson showcased exceptional rope skills from the start, becoming the first athlete to reach the Pig with Tynan close behind. Wilkinson maintained her advantage into the second round, even tucking her hair inside her shirt to stop it interfering with the jump rope.
The athletes then faced the 159-kilogram Pig, where strength and technique became equally important. Lucy McGonigle battled through the workout despite an injured knee, completing her triple-under attempts by hopping on one leg.
Wilkinson lost some of her advantage after receiving several no reps on the GHD wall-ball shots, allowing Tynan to draw level. The two athletes reached the final Pig flips together before launching into a sprint for the finish. Wilkinson narrowly claimed the heat by just 0.06 seconds, finishing in 13:29.49.
Heat Two
The pace increased dramatically in the second heat.
Kyra Milligan delivered an outstanding performance to post a new fastest time of 12:28.34.
Greer crossed the line shortly afterwards, while Ellie Turner finished third in the heat. Kerstetter beat the time cap by only a matter of seconds to record a score.
Final Heat
The final heat brought together the overall leaders and quickly turned into another demonstration of Cringle’s all-around ability.
She looked completely comfortable on the triple-unders, completing her opening set of 20 unbroken. Paige Rodgers and Arielle Loewen stayed within striking distance, while Lucy Campbell lost valuable time trying to master the new movement.
Alex Gazan and Maddie Sturt also struggled with the triple-unders as the movement continued to reshuffle the leaderboard. Emma Lawson steadily worked her way into third place during the workout.
Cringle never looked under pressure. Every movement appeared controlled and efficient as she steadily increased her advantage over the field.
By the time she reached the final three Pig flips, the outcome was all but decided. She powered through the heavy implement before sprinting to the finish in 10:41.36.
The win gave Cringle her fifth event victory of the 2026 CrossFit Games and further strengthened her commanding position atop the overall leaderboard.
Men
Heat One
The opening men’s heat began with Calum Clements and Henrique Moreira Souza setting the early pace before Ty Jenkins and Reyes worked their way to the front.
Spencer Panchik moved efficiently through every station and made the Pig flips look effortless. His smooth performance earned him the heat victory in 12:00.05, with Ty Jenkins finishing second.
Jenkins, who won the CrossFit Games Teenage division from 2021 through 2023, continued to impress in his first individual Games campaign. Mathew missed the time cap by just one second.
Heat Two
Pat Vellner wasted little time taking control of the race, leading Moritz Fiebig through the opening stages while Baylee Martin remained firmly in contention.
Vellner stayed composed on the GHD wall-ball shots before attacking the closing section of the workout. He tore through the final three Pig flips to win the heat, with Baylee Martin finishing second and Fiebig taking third.
Final Heat
The final heat stayed tightly packed through the opening bar muscle-ups.
Dallin Pepper and Jayson Hopper were the first athletes onto the triple-unders, while James Sprague completed his opening set unbroken to establish an early lead. Roman Khrennikov remained close behind.
Pepper looked increasingly comfortable as the workout progressed, particularly during his second set of triple-unders, and soon found himself battling Sprague on the Pig flips.
The race then shifted once again as Pepper and Justin Medeiros fought for first place while Sprague slipped into third. Pepper reached the final Pig flips first and held on to claim the heat victory.
Despite Pepper’s strong finish, Pat Vellner’s time from Heat Two remained the fastest of the day, giving the Canadian the overall Event 14 victory.
New Skills Deliver a New Challenge
Triple Pig successfully introduced two new movements to the CrossFit Games, and both immediately influenced the competition.
The GHD wall-ball shots challenged athletes with an unfamiliar combination of coordination, endurance, and accuracy, while the triple-unders exposed even the smallest technical mistakes under fatigue. Together with large sets of bar muscle-ups and heavy Pig flips, the workout rewarded athletes who could combine technical efficiency with strength and composure.
Cringle once again demonstrated why she has been the standout athlete of the women’s competition, collecting her fifth event win and extending her overall lead.
On the men’s side, Vellner’s measured pacing and powerful finish earned him his second event victory of the weekend, while Pepper’s heat win showed he remains firmly in the hunt as the 2026 CrossFit Games move into their final stages.
Event 15: 2020 Speed Snatch
Event 15, 2020 Speed Snatch, challenged athletes to pair explosive Olympic lifting with flawless technique, all while racing against unforgiving time caps.
Success depended on more than raw strength. Athletes had to move confidently between increasingly heavier barbells, execute every lift cleanly, and avoid costly missed attempts that could end their run.
For time:
3 snatches (1-minute cap)
♀145 – 150 – 155 lb
♂ 225 – 235 – 245 lb
Then,
3 snatches (2-minute cap)
♀ 160 – 165 – 170 lb
♂ 245 – 255 – 265 lb
Then,
3 snatches (3-minute cap)
♀ 175 – 180 – 185 lb
♂ 265 – 275 – 285 lb
Women
The opening stage immediately highlighted the depth of Olympic lifting talent in the women’s field. Hannah Black, who has a recorded one-rep max snatch of 231 pounds, made the opening weights look routine. She flew through all three lifts without hesitation, immediately establishing herself as one of the athletes to beat.
Domit also looked extremely comfortable, moving efficiently through the first set of barbells. Paige Rodgers was among the quickest athletes to finish the opening stage, while Elisa Fuliano and Bjornsdottir also progressed comfortably with fast, confident lifting.
Only the 20 fastest athletes advanced to the second stage.
With the weights increasing, the second stage quickly separated the strongest performers from the rest of the field. Mathilde Garnes produced one of the standout performances of the event, winning her heat in 24.00 seconds despite the heavier barbells.
Alex Gazan and Ellie Turner also moved smoothly through the lifts to secure places in the final stage. Lucy Campbell, however, lost valuable time after missing one of her attempts, leaving her outside the athletes advancing to the final round.
The final stage featured the fastest lifters of the day and set up another battle between Hannah Black and Bjornsdottir. The two athletes remained virtually inseparable as the weights climbed, matching each other lift for lift while racing against the clock.
Everything came down to the final barbell. Bjornsdottir missed her last lift, giving Hannah Black the opportunity she needed. Black completed the snatch successfully before sprinting across the finish line to secure the event win with an impressive display of speed, composure, and technical precision.
Kerstetter finished second, while Elisa Fuliano claimed third place. Bjornsdottir took fourth after her missed final attempt, and Domit completed the top five.

The return of the 2020 Speed Snatch once again demonstrated why it has become one of the CrossFit Games’ most memorable lifting events. It rewarded athletes who could combine elite strength with speed, precision, and confidence under pressure. Hannah Black excelled in every area, producing one of the standout performances of Day 3 and adding an event victory to her CrossFit Games campaign.

Athletes from 21st place downward completed only the opening stage, underlining just how demanding the final weights proved to be. The results showed that raw strength alone was not enough. Athletes also needed flawless technique, confidence, and the ability to move rapidly between lifts, with even a single missed attempt often costing multiple positions on the leaderboard.
