Relive the final reps and incredible battle between
@colten_mertens and
@jaycrouch_ during Event 12, The Hopper 2026, at the 2026 CrossFit Games!
Mertens got to the bar first on his final three sets of snatches, but Crouch was right on his heels, making up ground with every rep.
On the final set of seven snatches, Mertens put the hammer down and crossed the finish line first, winning the event. Crouch finished right behind Mertens, taking second overall in the event.
