The 2008 CrossFit Games were the second annual CrossFit Games to be held following the inaugural Games in 2007. The Games were held on July 5–6, 2008, on a ranch in Aromas, California, United States.[1]
As with the first Games, there was no qualification process for athletes wishing to compete in the Games.[2] The number of participating athletes was limited to 300 on a first-come first-serve basis, and the number of competition events increased to four.[3]
The men's competition was won by Jason Khalipa, the women's by Caity Matter, and the Affiliate Cup was awarded to CrossFit Oakland.[4] Each winner of the individual events won $1,500.[5] The first documentary film of the Games, Every Second Counts, was made for this year's Games.[6]
