Björgvin Karl Gudmundsson finished in second place with a time 12 seconds slower than Noah’s. The Iceland representative has been competing at the highest level for some time now and proved why with this incredible performance.

Chandler Smith made all of his deadlifts look very comfortable and won the event after Pat Vellner failed a 605-pound deadlift. However, Chandler gave the crowd what they wanted and decided to deadlift 610 pounds solely for the joy of the fans. The 610-pound deadlift was off the record though, as 605 pounds was the initial winning weight for Chandler.

Pat Vellner settled for second place and walked away extremely happy, having beaten all of his closest rivals. So, he further improved his lead, and placed himself in a very favorable position going into the final day. Tudor Magda finished in third place, losing to Vellner on a tiebreaker.

The deadlift battle between the women’s athletes lasted for over an hour but proved to be one of the most interesting events of the 2023 Rogue Invitational CrossFit. Three women in particular made it a great show, as they kept successfully locking out each weight that they faced. However Alex Gazan turned out to be the greatest deadlifter out of the bunch, since she was the only one able to lock out 425 pounds.

Dani Speegle was a formidable opponent to Alex, as the pair pushed each other to the limit. It just so happened that a 420-pound deadlift was Dani’s limit at the time. Laura Horvath finished in third place with a 415-pound deadlift and got even closer to Tia-Clair Toomey on the overall leaderboards.

Female Results

Laura Horvath displayed the most dominant performance of the 2023 Rogue Invitational CrossFit over the two days. She separated herself from the pack within the first minute of the workout and only increased her lead as time kept on ticking. Her grip started to fade near the end, but her victory was never in question. Laura was the only woman to finish the workout in under 11 minutes.

Tia-Clair Toomey did not surrender too many points to Laura, having finished in second place and received just five less. Dani Speegle rounded up the top three and climbed the overall leaderboards.

The 2023 CrossFit Games champion, Jeffrey Adler, came to the Rogue Invitational with one goal, and that is to win the title. So, he approached the first event strategically and won the maximum points after a late push to first place. His final time to finish the workout was 19 minutes and eight seconds.

Jelle Hoste led the race for the majority of it and even had a very large lead at some point. However, it seemed that he burned out after a while, meaning he had no chance of defending his lead when Adler turned up the pace. However, no other athletes managed to catch up with Hoste, making him the second-place finisher. Roman Khrennikov also claimed solid points with a third place finish and a time of 19 minutes and 31 seconds.

Female Results

While the first event was based on running, it proved to be more than a test of endurance. Due to the weight that was carried, the leg strength of the athletes also played a big role in performing well. This worked well for Tia-Clair Toomey, whose experience and abilities allowed her to dominate the first event of the 2023 Rogue CrossFit Invitational. Toomey finished with a time of 20 minutes and 24 seconds, having controlled her pace perfectly.

Gabriela Migała held close to Tia-Clair during the first mile and a half of the race. However, she was not able to keep up on the final portion, ultimately finishing in second place with a time of 20 minutes and 37 seconds. Emily Rolfe finished in third by outperforming Laura Horvath in a battle that lasted throughout the majority of the workout.

1. Tia-Clair Toomey — 20:24
2. Gabriela Migała — 20:37
