Athlete Match Up
CrossFit has announced that we will see Canadian athlete Pat Vellner take on Russian powerhouse Roman Khrennikov at the 23.2 CrossFit Open live announcement in CrossFit Bison in Midland Park, New Jersey.
Pat Vellner is an 8x Games athlete who always made it to the ultimate test of fitness since 2015. He came on short of winning the title of Fittest on Earth on 4 occasions, finishing twice in 2nd and twice with a bronze medal.
Roman Khrennikov is the new sensation of the CrossFit Games. New, because he finally managed to get his Visa to enter the USA and compete in person in Madison last year. And he didn’t disappoint, going home with the title of 2nd Fittest Man on Earth.
Here is a quick comparison between the two athletes who will face off this Thursday at the 23.2 CrossFit Open live announcement in New Jersey:
Pat Vellner:
- Last CrossFit Games placement: 6th
- Best CrossFit Games placement: 2nd (2018, 2021)
- CrossFit Games appearances: 8
- Worldwide Ranking System placement: 2nd
- Best CrossFit Open placement: 1st (2020)
Roman Khrennikov:
- Last CrossFit Games placement: 2nd
- Best CrossFit Games placement: 2nd
- CrossFit Games appearances: 2
- Worldwide Ranking System placement: 7th
- Best CrossFit Open placement: 10th (2020)
Both athletes participated in two major off-season tournaments after the CrossFit Games last year. Pat Vellner finished one placement ahead of Khrennikov at the Rogue Invitational last year. However, at Wodapalooza this January, Khrennikov got the better deal finishing one position in front of Vellner.
2023 CrossFit Open
