Jason Khalipa<\/a> is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to CrossFit<\/a>. In 2008, just two years after being introduced to the sport, Khalipa won first place \u2014 along with the coveted \u201cFittest Man on Earth\u201d title \u2014 at the CrossFit Games<\/a>. And while that is the greatest accomplishment for a CrossFitter, his 2009 comeback may be even more impressive.<\/p>\n

The North California-native struggled through the first event, a 7.1-mile run on varied terrain, finishing 72nd<\/sup> out of 74 competitors, and not before falling along the course<\/a> multiple times. He received medical attention as soon as the race was done, but Khalipa wasn\u2019t willing to give up. He went on to win<\/i> the next event, a deadlift<\/a> competition, and then placed 2nd<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, and 5th<\/sup> in the following events respectively. Khalipa ended up with an overall 5th<\/sup> place finish for the Games and received the \u201cSpirit of the Games\u201d award for his valiant and inspirational effort.<\/p>\n
