Rich Froning is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of CrossFit.

[@Sacrifice-Paid]

[@mikelim7514]

[@Sacrifice-Paid]

Mike Lim for now maybe, who knows who’ll come along next, he may never get beaten, but it’s no guarantee

[@daniellara9847]

Faith n’ Fitness I do believe that with time the sport will start to develop,it will change a lot and I don’t believe in future we will see the same athlete winning multiple titles in a row anymore

[@Sluggo717]

If Mat gets 4 Team Championships then maybe he can be as fit. Getting individual wins is really hard but to also help win with a team 4 times is crazy.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

This is true! Mat may be fitter, stronger, better then Rich on an individual scale, but can he do both? is he a good team player? I guess time will tell.

[@mona-bv8hz]

I also think there’s such little recognition given to his team! It must take a lot to be perfectly synchronized with Froning.

[@Sluggo717]

Like they mentioned the team is only as strong as their weakest link and they do not have a weak link. Froning was a big part of the team but it was a team and his ability to work, compete, and win as a team member was huge. True leaders are expert followers and he proved that leading when needed and following as needed. Awesome person

Great video but your volume levels are way off🤷‍♀️ I had to keep turning it up and down through out the whole thing

[@seanclarke6733]

Mat Fraser takes the cake. Mat Losing to rich and Ben was the worst thing to happen to every other crossfitter since fran. He’s obsessed with winning, and he only had such a close games because of his sandbag muck up. I don’t think he noticed it tbh it’s not in his nature to cut corners. That’s why he’s the best. Rich was the best, but in his last year he had to fight to stay atop the rookie .... mat Fraser

[@phanethchheng675]

Ben Smith next

[@a.t2021]

the fittest of his time, no questioning that. i just got one question: when is he gonna shave his hair? that bald spot... its disturbing

[@tylerjaehamilton]

VERY disturbing, from the stands it glows

I heard that he did a treatment for the hair

[@kellycrossfit1655]

Yet another great video! Rich is awesome so good choice! So does he only do teams now? Would love to see him compete against Matt again.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Yeah, he's been a team athlete for about 5 Years, however he makes that whole competition super interesting

[@beyondtraining_]

Rich will be a case study! He is unique in the CrossFit history! His fitness consistency is unparalleled! We can't compare Rich with mat... different cenários, diferrent times... Rich will always be Mr. CrossFit!

[@erniereyes1994]

Rich Froning has the most personality out of any world champion in CrossFit. Matt Fraser, who I believe has a background in mechanical engineering, has the personality and character of an engineer...

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Please tell me what the personality traits of a mechanical engineer 🤣🤣🤣

[@seanclarke6733]

If you look at his videos and presence beyond the games he’s a pretty down to earth guy. He just focuses right up at the games. Either way it’s not a popularity contest and if it were I think Sara should win lol. He certainly doesn’t have to do a 9-5 anytime soon in engineering or whatever

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

You can't do what Rich does, you can try to do what Rich does.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Replicate what you can, become? You cannot

[@unclealai]

I agree.

[@alanbarlow313]

Froning is GOAT but i would like to see Noah Ohlson in the top spot, he had a great games last year.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Noah did beast last year's games, there's no doubt about it!

[@_Tom_B]

I've said it before: the guy is arguably still peaking. He's still setting PRs. I'd argue that AT A MINIMUM, Mat Fraser would have to bring it 100%, every single day of the Games. I think, even today, it'd be so close that if Mat slipped up Rich could take it.

[@MG_0611]

he is not a beast. he is the GOAT 😂

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Get this guy a Farmer!

[@danoconnor7864]

Rich was in the Central East regional, not the North East

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Thank you for the correction

[@the123danielful]

Thank you for clarifying that you are talking about the fittest man in 'crossfit'

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Of course, it's a bit bold to say 'Fittest on Earth'

[@Dwbolan77]

Also, we never saw Rich have to give everything he had to win. He only did what he needed to do, to beat the person next to him.. We never saw him go to the end of his capacity. Matt on the other hand gives it all every time. We only got 1 year of Froning vs Fraser, which Froning won. That year Rich wasnt as motivated as an individual competitor any longer likes years before and the following year went into Team events. And Fraser has dominated ever since. The winning styles are different. Froning dont workout as much as he used to, and so we will never see neither one of these 2 guys in their prime going head to head given their ages.

[@stevensnydermusic]

I’d love an in-depth, with people that really know what they’re talking about, video on the prevalence of performance enhancing drugs. Not just the steroid use but the likelihood of HGH and EPO and what those substances would give a high level competitor. Advantages, disadvantages, short and long term side effects, etc.

Lets get a GoFundMe together and raise money to get rich back to individuals. Everybody's got a price! That would be epic.

[@PochoNieves]

Rich Froning has beaten Matt Fraser in every game. There is no question nor excuse. They were both on the same games. Matt want a rookie and he was in his prime every single time. He had the same opportunity as Rich stop it wasn't like they lack resources or time. Matt ONLY won games after Rich, but Rich won them against Matt and everybody else.

[@bowendegouw6925]

It’s like Lebron vs MJ

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Exactly!

[@carleyoneill5060]

I would argue that Mat is fitter, considering the timeline that they compete in. It’s no competition between past and present competition that people competing nowadays are fitter than those of the past. Mat is winning against better competition than Rich had, even though Rich’s individual time did have a few good competitors.

[@PochoNieves]

Disagree... Matt had the same time and resources as Rich. This is not a question of different eras. Rich competed against Matt and everybody else and they all got better every year but Rich was better. Matt only won after Rich and that's a fact. I would argue that if Rich had staid he would have got better and adjust every year just like he did and beaten Matt again. The thing is that we have the precedence and we can say it already happened. Saying that Matt would have bested Rich, well that's already answered because he tried a few times and didn't.

[@MrPtrlix]

I thought Ross Edgley was the fittest man.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

Title states Fittest in CrossFit, Ross Edgley is fit AF and possibly fitter in many ways than Rich, but not in CrossFit

Navy seals or iron man athletes do diff things that make them fit as fuck in their field. But crossfit games athletes can run sub 6 miles and lift 340+ cleans and swim etc.. that's what the word [crossfit] indicates. To be fit and excell in highly functional fitness exercises performed at a high capacity.
