Two of the most recognizable personalities prepare to face off under the Miami heat. Dani
Speegle coming off her best Games finish to date looks to carry that momentum into the 2023
season. For Sara, WZA represents the first step in her comeback trail back to the Games. Who’s
ready to watch both ladies throw down all week long?!
The second and third place finishers at last year’s CF Games look poised for another
unbelievable showdown in the Sunshine State. Roman may have gotten the best of him in
Madison, but Ricky doesn’t strike me as the type of competitor to take that lying down. Expect
nothing less than absolute fireworks any time either of these athletes take the floor!
Two young bucks are set to clash on the shores of Bayfront Park. Gui is undeniably one of the
most electric competitors the sport has ever seen. A maestro with the barbell, get ready to see
some big weights as WZA kicks off with a 1RM Clean and Jerk. Meanwhile, Dallin had an
incredibly strong debut last year in Madison. And at just 20 years old, the sky really is the limit
for this baby faced killer. Who’s ready to take that next step in their CF careers?!
Cats and Dogs. Oil and Water. Tall people and CrossFit. Patrick Vellner and the Sun. Natural-born
enemies. And yet, against all odds, Vellner continues to beat the heat and enters the
competition as the 3-time defending champ. Do I smell a 4-peat or will the sun finally strike
back?
This year, we’ve got the most stacked roster in the Elite division. Check out a few head-to-head matchups we’re excited to watch unfold over the competition weekend!

The Defending Champs meet the Great White North. With 38 (!) individual Games appearances
between them, it’s 1 st place or bust for either team. Mr. Miami himself, Noah Ohlsen, looks to
catapult The Boyz to the top of the podium for the second year in a row. Or will it be the boys
from the north to put the defending champs on ice? Looks like the Miami sun isn’t going to be
the only thing heating up the competition floor!
Nothing says Miami quite like a little international flavor. Hailing from all corners of the globe –
and armed with three National Champs to boot – these two juggernauts are ready to put on a
show for the rest of the world to see!
This matchup has schoolyard rivalry written all over it. “I’ll get my brothers, you get your
brothers and that weird Heppner kid from up the block and we’ll settle this down at Bayfront at
sundown.” Who else is looking forward to great competition and even more trash talk from
these two all weekend long?
How many athletes are instantly recognizable on a first-name basis? Annie, Katrin, Mal – say
less. All eyes will inevitably be on The Dottirs ft. MOB whenever they take the floor but handing
them the crown based on clout alone not so fast. Enter Team BPN. If a team’s going to have
something to say about it, it’s them. Horvath, Simmonds, Migala – all with Games experience.
All ready to challenge for the podium.
The newly unretired Kari Pearce and the A.K.A. Humble Killers are looking to make a little noise
down in Miami – that is after the 2x Strongest mom in America Arielle Loewen puts the kids to
bed of course. Meanwhile, the All-American Girls and their combined 19 individual Games
appearances aren’t looking to give anyone a free ride. Take note because fireworks are sure to
follow whenever these two teams take the floor!
