Đukić. You must have seen that name on somebody’s shirt during the CrossFit Games this year. Luka Đukić and Lazar Đukić are brothers from Serbia, they competed for the 1st time this year in Madison and they challenge people around the world with their own workouts.
Lazar Đukić finished 9th overall at the CrossFit Games, ahead of Noah Ohlsen and Scott Panchik, while his younger brother Luka was cut after the 10th event and finished 29th.
The brothers started a hashtag in March 2020 challenging people to be better than the Serbian duo. #BeatTheDjukic – it is spelt Djukic, with “J” in their names, because that is how you pronounce it, although not how you write it in Serbian.
Well, are you fitter than the 9th and 29th Fittest Man on Earth? You can see it for yourself. Here are 8 of the Đukić Challenge.
