Episode 5 of “Road to the Games,” presented by YETI, features four-time Games qualifier and 2023 third-Fittest Man on Earth Ricky Garard, six-time CrossFit Games qualifier Jay Crouch, and six-time Games qualifier Madeline Sturt.
Go behind the scenes and inside the training and day-to-day lives of these three elite CrossFit competitors from Australia.
These three veteran athletes know what it takes to make it to the CrossFit Games. Now, their sights are set on the podium.
“I want to win the CrossFit Games, and that’s my dream, that’s my goal,” Garard says. “If I didn’t think I could win, I wouldn’t be here today.”
“I feel like I’ve literally been doing CrossFit forever,” Sturt says. “All those years missing out, I was so close. I’m proud of myself to be able to keep fighting, keep pushing and to be able to turn it around.”
“To win the CrossFit Games, it takes everything,” Crouch says. “It takes hard work. It takes a perfect weekend. It takes an absolute savage who is willing to work for every single point.”
Watch Garard, Crouch, and Sturt give it everything they got at the 2025 CrossFit Games, Aug. 1-3, in Albany, New York.
