The Age Group competition at the 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games concluded this afternoon, and the champions in each division have been crowned.
Notable this year were the inaugural Men’s and Women’s 65+ divisions, which brought masters athletes together 10 years after their Games debuts; the teenage competition was filled with new names as many of the veteran champions aged up into the individual field; and the masters competition celebrated a near-even split between champions new and old.
The masters and teenagers started their competition with an endurance event and ended with wall walks and thrusters. Over three days, athletes were challenged with a well-rounded test of fitness that highlighted the strengths of some and exposed the weaknesses of others.
While many impressive and inspiring feats were accomplished at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, there can only be one champion in each division. Here’s who rose to the top.
Congratulations to the 2021 Age Group champions!
