After going toe to toe with the fittest man on the planet, Noah Ohlsen responded in typical Noah Ohlsen fashion.

The six-time CrossFit Games veteran had just finished an astonishing 677 reps in the gruelling Mary competition, the fifth event for the individual men and women.

Done to time, athletes must complete as many rounds as possible of five handstand push-ups, 10 pistol single leg squats and 15 pull-ups. On top of this, Ohlsen bested three-time defending champion Mat Fraser by just two reps.

But in the post event interview down on the floor in Madison, Wisconsin, Ohlsen was most definitely showing who he truly is.

“Holy moly I see so many people in the crowd that I love,” he said with his trademark smile and boyish good looks. “I love all of you guys.”
