2010 CrossFit Games

The 2010 CrossFit Games were held on July 16–18, 2010, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.[1] The men's competition was won by Graham Holmberg and the women's by Kristan Clever.

Taking second place on the men's side was Rich Froning Jr., who would go on to win the Games in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He had a lead going into the final event of the 2010 Games, but had not learned how to use his feet when climbing a rope, and relinquished the top spot to Holmberg. This was the first time for the CrossFit Games to include a Masters competition for male and female participants over the age of 50. This was also the first time that regional qualifiers were required for all games participants including individuals, affiliate teams, and masters. To qualify for regional competitions individual athletes had to compete in local sectionals, a precursor to the online CrossFit Open introduced the following year.[2]
