Seven years after he first stepped on the field at the CrossFit Games (as a volunteer!), Rogue Athlete Jeffrey Adler is officially the 2023 Men’s Champion and the new “Fittest Man on Earth” . . . a title held by just eight individuals before him. Much like Laura Horvath on the women’s side, Adler entered this year’s Games with a boat load of expectations (especially after winning the ‘23 Open) and a growing wave of support from a fanbase who have always respected his humble attitude and legendary work ethic. But, also like Horvath, nothing would be handed to him in Madison. With tremendous performances all week from Roman Khrennikov and Adler’s fellow Canadians Pat Vellner and Brent Fikowski, the top of the leaderboard remained a number crunch much of the weekend. After gaining a lot of ground on Saturday, though, Jeffrey won Sunday’s first test, Muscle-Up Logs, and–after an injury to Khrennikov–was able to separate himself from the pack in the final two workouts, finishing with 953 points to Vellner’s 837. Afterward, Adler thanked his coach / fiancée Caroline Lambray for her role in his achievement. “She’s the reason I’m here,” he said. “Today, her dream came true.” Check out Jeff’s Rogue Athlete page here: #ryourogue
