The 2024 Rogue Invitational came to a close yesterday at P&J Live in Aberdeen, Scotland, crowning Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and Jeffrey Adler as champs.

Adler, who led from Day 1 on, got the job done, answering any questions that lingered since his withdrawal from the 2024 Games.

• Brent Fikowski, “The Professor,” put on a show on his final day of competition, taking an event win in Event 7: “Gondola,” and cruising up the leaderboard to finish on the podium in second place.

COMPETITIONS

Toomey-Orr, Adler Crowned 2024 Rogue Champions

At the start of the weekend, Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr announced her intention to “reclaim the crown” from last year’s Rogue Invitational winner, Laura Horvath. 

• Horvath put up a fight and did her best to make it difficult for Toomey-Orr, but it was not enough to outdo the seven-time Fittest Woman. Toomey-Orr finished 60 points ahead of Horvath en route to her fourth Rogue Invitational title.

On the men’s side, if there was ever a question of whether the 2023 CrossFit Games champion Jeff Adler would become a one-hit wonder, those questions were certainly put to rest this weekend.

• Adler competed like he is still the Fittest Man on Earth, cruising his way to victory over fellow Canadian Brent FIkowski, who is competing in his final competition before retirement.

A Look Back at Their Performances

Toomey-Orr

Reflecting on the weekend as a whole — once Gabi Migala withdrew after injuring herself during Event 6 — the competition looked more like a duel between Toomey-Orr and Horvath than a race between 20 athletes.

• In fact, between the two of them, they won every single event, with Toomey-Orr scooping up five to Horvath’s four. Further, the third-place finisher, Arielle Loewen, ended a whole 220 points behind Horvath. 

Toomey-Orr came out hot on Friday, going three-for-three en route to three consecutive event wins.

2024 Rogue Invitational Day 3 Recap: The Real Moving Day in Scotland

The final day of the 2024 Rogue Invitational at P&J Live in Aberdeen, Scotland, proved to be the real moving day. 

• Athletes on both sides of the competition were out for blood and put on a show for the fans. 

Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr came into the final day 55 points ahead of Laura Horvath. Jeffrey Adler was in a solid first place ahead of Ricky Garard and Dallin Pepper. The first event involved one of the more difficult implements — the horizontal pegboard traverse. 

Athletes then moved into a three-round gymnastics piece and finished the weekend in a very Rogue Invitational way with a sandbag-clean ladder. 

The weekend was full of excitement as athletes pushed their limits, tested new movements, and competed alongside some of the best in the world. 

Event 7: Gondola 

The event featured the unique implementation of the pegboard traverse, paired with GHD sit-ups and the Ski Erg. Grip fatigue was ultimately the separator in this workout for both sides of the competition. 

• Athletes on the field were seen taking big breaks towards the end of the workout to ensure they wouldn’t fail the pegboard traverse, while some (very few) proved to be no problem.
