Noah Ohlsen Wins Spirit of the Games Award

Congratulations to Spirit of the Games Award Winner Noah Ohlsen!

Nicole Carroll, GM Of EDU: "The CrossFit revolution has grown exponentially over the last two decades, not only because of CrossFit’s efficacy in improving fitness & health, but because of the community … Because of all of you.
In our gyms, we don’t face mirrors - we face each other.

We don’t celebrate aesthetics and swagger but rather showing up and humbly putting in the work. We share in the challenge of doing hard things because we know it makes us better humans in every way, on every level.

In this shared striving we connect authentically and build strong local communities.
These local communities are the soul of the CrossFit movement. And they genuinely make the world a better place.

This year, the Spirit of the Games award is given to an athlete who is emblematic of this community – an athlete who, for the last 9 years, he has trained, competed, and carried himself with uncommon warmth, kindness, and generosity.

When he saw rookie athlete, Rebecca Fuselier, fighting to finish her last climb up the stairs of the capitol on Friday, he was one of the only athletes to stay behind and cheer her on.
As you all surrounded her and lifted her up at the end of that event, this year’s winner was right there with you.

He has one of the biggest hearts in CrossFit. And the strength of spirit he exhibits on camera exactly matches what you see when the cameras are off …………. This year’s Spirit of the Games award winner is Noah Ohlsen.

I have rarely seen a father being so damn proud of his son.

In addition to being one of the best in the world, it gives me much more admiration to know that he is a great human being! Congratulations Noah!

I love Noah and he is definitely deserving. I have been yelling this since 2018, they should give it to Toomey. I know she's smashing everyone and it's easy to be in great spirits when you are but she is the only athlete that literally walks to every athlete and says kind words and give a pat on the back after every event.

Didn’t realize they changed the trophy. I always loved the encased rings

I think Brooke Wells deserves to win this award after that come back from last year's injury during the games.

I also wanna start but don't know how? 😞

The dude threw his peg and quit an event…

[mortenlundkristensen]

Love the guy - but what the fruit is up with that trophy?

[Kylie-xpoy]

If you are dedicated to faking it long enough, people will eventually take it as real. Persistence pays off.
