The CrossFit Games: The only sporting event where tailgating involves more barbells than beer.
In the RV camping area at the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, Graciano Rubio (left) — a pro strongman athlete, Level 2 CrossFit Trainer, and owner of CrossFit ValleyView in Los Banos, California — takes on Andrew Hiller (right) in a friendly campground throwdown.
The challenge? CrossFit benchmark workout Grace: 30 clean and jerks for time (the benchmark workout seems to have been a popular choice for a quick sweat at the Games).
Who did it most gracefully?
Watch to find out who won and who did an extra 5 reps — because when in doubt, do more work.
