CrossFit Dynamix took the win in Final 1. Becca Day came out with a strong climb, keeping her arms close to her body and maintaining a tight angle working her way through the pegboard ascents quickly for the win.

CrossFit Yas needed to make up some points to hold on to their podium spot, but their team member losing pegs gave them a rough start. Diablo CrossFit took the win in Final 2.

Andrea Ager of Dynamix was fast on the peg board, but appeared to have forgotten she needed to make two ascents. They still finished second in the event. Lindy Barber remained poised and concentrated throughout the event, even on failed attempts, but did not take the event. They tied for eighth. 12 Labours CrossFit ended up taking the event win.

Going into the fourth final event, Yas sat only nine points ahead of Dynamix. They ended up taking fifth and Dynamix took seventh. Mayhem's James Hobart took the event win for their team's second event win of the day and 12th career event win.

The gap between Yas and Dynamix for the final podium spot was 13 points going into the fifth final event. Yas fell off the pegboard, costing their team time. CrossFit Nordic ended up taking the event win for their first event win of the week. Dynamix took third and Yas tied for eighth.

7 points separated Yas and Dynamix going into the final team event of the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games. Yas ended up taking fourth and Dynamix ended up taking fifth, giving the final place podium spot to CrossFit Yas. They will be the first international team to stand on the podium in Games history. Rich Froning took the event win for CrossFit Mayhem, and undoubtedly his time will be compared to the individual times when those athletes take the exact same event on later this evening.

CrossFit Mayhem is crowned the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup Champions for the second consecutive year. They are the first team to do so since Hack's Pack in 2012 and 2013. The win is James Hobart's third Affiliate Cup Champion title, and Rich Froning's sixth total Champion title, including his four individual ones.
