As the age-old saying goes, heavy is the head that wears the crown. In this case, it’s in reference to Justin Medeiros<\/a>, the two-time reigning Men’s Individual CrossFit Games champion<\/a>. In the event Medeiros does secure a third straight title in Madison, WI, on August 1-6, 2023, he will have made history, becoming only the third-ever Individual competitor to triumph on at least three occasions. However, like all great kings, Medeiros is not without his competitive threats. <\/p>\n

With the 2023 CrossFit Games<\/a> inching ever closer, here’s a breakdown of Medeiros and four other potential Men’s contenders’ chances<\/strong>. At still just 24 years old, Medeiros would seemingly only be at the beginning of a dominant extended reign atop the CrossFit kingdom, joining the likes of four-time champion (2011-2014) Rich Froning Jr.<\/a> and five-time Games winner (2016-2020) Mat Fraser<\/a>. That is, unless any of these athletes have something to say about it. <\/p>\n
