Events

The first three events for the second CrossFit Games took place on Saturday July 5, 2008, and the final event was held the following day. The winners were determined by the lowest cumulative time to complete the four events. The Affiliate Cup was awarded to the affiliate with lowest combined time for its top two men and top two women.[2] The scoring format for the 2008 games lead to the documentary Every Second Counts.[3]

Workout A

Fran - Three rounds of thrusters (a front squat into push press) and pull-ups. Each round has a decreasing number of repetitions starting with 21 thrusters and 21 pull-ups then progressing to 15 repetitions of each for round two and nine repetitions for the final round. The weight for the thruster was 95 pounds (43 kilograms) for the men and 65 pounds (29 kilograms) for the women.

Sunday's Final Event

Thirty squat clean and jerks. The weights used were 155 pounds (70 kilograms) for the men and 100 pounds (45 kilograms) for the women. The participant's starts were staggered so that the competitors would start with the time differentials of their previous days combined score. This was done so that spectators could determine who was the overall winner as they finished the event first.
