James Sprague has officially been crowned the Fittest Man on Earth, securing the 2024 CrossFit Games title with an awe-inspiring performance. As a proud member of Team AIRWAAV, James’s victory marks a significant milestone in his career, showcasing his relentless dedication and elite athleticism.

A Weekend of Endurance, Strength, and Mental Toughness

The 2024 CrossFit Games in Fort Worth, TX, presented the toughest challenges yet, testing the limits of every competitor. For James Sprague, a second-year Games athlete, the weekend was about more than just surviving the physical trials; it was about proving that he belonged among the elite. James’s consistent performance across the grueling events culminated in a final day push that saw him leapfrog seasoned veterans, securing his place as the Fittest Man on Earth.

Facing a 60-point deficit against veteran Brent Fikowski, James knew the final two events were his last chance to take the crown. With 200 points up for grabs, he demonstrated remarkable focus and determination, delivering under pressure to clinch the title.

The Role of AIRWAAV in James’s Success

James Sprague’s success isn’t just about raw talent and hard work—it’s also about the tools that help him maximize his performance. As a dedicated AIRWAAV athlete, James has integrated the AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece into his routine, and it has become an essential part of his journey to the top.

Reflecting on his experience, James shared, “The AIRWAAV mouthpiece was a huge part of my success. I started wearing AIRWAAV way before I was even sponsored by them. Ever since I put it in, I was like, ‘Wow, this is game changing.’”

The AIRWAAV mouthpiece is scientifically engineered to enhance breathing efficiency—a critical factor in high-intensity competitions like the CrossFit Games. James explained how it has transformed his training: “With the AIRWAAV mouthpiece, I don’t grind my teeth; it helps me to bite down and put my face energy into the AIRWAAV mouthpiece, so I’m not getting headaches with my big lifts. As for conditioning, I feel like it opens my airway, literally. I can get deeper breaths and more controlled breaths, which allows me to control my workouts better.” 

But the benefits of AIRWAAV go beyond just breathing. The mouthpiece’s patented design accelerates neuromuscular response, unlocking greater muscular force and power—key elements in James’s ability to push through the toughest events. “The AIRWAAV mouthpiece makes me 1% better by allowing me to stay in that moment and focus on my bracing mechanics and my breathing,” James said. “It’s one of the many tools I use to bridge my gap from being a semi-finals level athlete to a CrossFit Games athlete.”
