ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT 🤝 Giovanni Leon

We caught up with athlete, Giovanni Leon, to ask him about his Iron Games experience!

Giovanni told us, "I love to compete with my wife and share something we both love doing and it's like a mini CrossFit Games for me and her." He told us that his favorite part is "you know everyone is nervous and trying their best, and even though you want to beat that person next to you, you still cheer them on."
He told us Iron Games "gives me something to train for and try to get better at something I'm not really good at, which is running! And it gives me the challenge to do better than the year before."
When remembering all of the events he has participated in, he said his favorite event has easily been the handstand walk and clean workout from 2021.
When asked what he would tell someone considering signing up for the Iron Games he said, "You can only ever do your best, but this gives you a chance to have fun and do better than you thought you could while working out with people just like you, who also want to challenge themselves and have a good time."

We couldn't agree more, and we are so glad Gio is part of our Iron Games community and family!

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT 🤝 TEAM RETROGRESS

We caught up with TEAM RETROGRESS, made up by Talon Cocker () Aaron Ainleya () and Blake Bennett ()

When asked why they decided to compete at The Iron Games as a team, Aaron said, "Just three guys that wanted to have some fun and see what would happen." They each had different memories that bring a smile to their faces. Talon and Aaron told us "most memorable was the obstacle course. We had a ton of fun and it was super different from what we expected." Blake had a different memory and that was "how much the ruck run destroyed my life and I resorted to mumbling by the end lol".

They all had something to say about why The Iron Games is special. Talon told us "I love that it's a "smaller" comp but it has big comp energy." Aaron told us that "Most special for me is always the relationships you build throughout that whole comp. I love when you make more connections with good people." Blake told us that "it was awesome getting to compete with others that share the same passion as well as meeting new people and building new relationships."

They each brought something special to their team, but when asked what they would say to someone considering competing at Iron Games, they all agreed "Iron Games is both a great way to get into competing but also a great way to test yourself and compete at a much higher level as well. Very well rounded. Solid event with some good competition that I'm sure will only get bigger and better with time!! Super fun." And most importantly, "If you're thinking about signing up, DO IT."

We couldn't agree more Team Retrogress. Thanks for making the Iron Games community bigger and better. 🔥👊

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT 🤝 Madeline Hopkins

We caught up with Maddy to talk about her Iron Games experience, here's what she shared:

Maddy let us know “the competition and community keep me coming back! There is no better way to test your capabilities than surrounded by an amazing community of people.” When asked what her favorite part about the competition experience, she says, "definitely the energy. The whole experience was amazing, but the energy on that competition floor is unmatched."

Maddy left us with this gem of wisdom -- "When I think I've pushed as hard as I can, I can push harder. We are all capable of far more than we think we are, and I think that's incredible!" -- We couldn't agree more!!!!

Thanks for being an integral part of this community and for bringing determination & A FIGHT to the 2022 event!!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT 🤝

Q: What’s your position?
A:

Q: How long have you been a part of the Iron Games community?
A: I have been a part of the Iron Games community for the past two years!

Q: What’s one thing you love about volunteering at the Iron Games?
A: The people hands down. I’ve gained some amazing friends from both years!!

Q: Your fave experience/moment from the 2022 event?
A: Madeline Hopkins in the final event. When Noah told the crowd she was due to have hip surgery and was still competing and made it to the final, I got emotional. Watching her handle that sandbag and not give up was an unreal moment. Not to mention the entire crowd behind her. Still gives me chills!!

The middle of the floor is the best seat in the house. We’re grateful for people like Lauren who have jumped in full force to be a part of what we’re building here at the Iron Games!!

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT🤝CHANDA JEPPSON

Chanda has been an OG Iron Games competitor from day 1. We caught up with Chanda to ask her about her experience competing at The Iron Games. This is what she had to say about her experience.

"I keep coming back to the Iron Games because it's in my hometown and I can't resist something so high quality right here in town! Also, it's well run, and pushes me to be better. I always have so much fun!"

"The best part about the Iron Games is the supportive community. I feel supported by the athletes, the staff, and my friends and family that come to cheer me on! The environment is positive and uplifting in every way."

"Participating in the Iron Games has given me drive to strive to accomplish things I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to do! It's also helped me realize WHY I like to compete. Competing pushes me to reach outside my comfort zone and stretch my limits in ways I wouldn't push for within my gym community. I find my potential is much higher than I believed it could be. The energy of competition is contagious."

This year will be Chanda's 5th year competing at The Iron Games, " #5 for my 50th 🥳 This year will be my 5th time competing in The Iron Games right after my 50th birthday. So I'm looking forward to the celebration and pushing my limits into the next decade!"

Chanda is an amazing example and addition to our Iron Games community. Thanks for being a member of our tribe, Chanda 👊 here is to the next 5 years of Iron Games!
