Each year at the CrossFit Games, they honor someone with the Spirit of the Games award. This honor goes to the ‘athlete who embodies the spirit of the sport.’

Each week during the CrossFit Open, No Excuses CrossFit will recognize a member it feels represents the Spirit of the Games. This week’s honor goes to ….

Jiyun Kim has been crushing workouts lately. She has firmly asserted herself as the top female Rx athlete at No Excuses CrossFit during the CrossFit Open. 

After a dominant performance in 25.1, Jiyun had another impressive workout in 25.2.

“She is amazing and never stops,” No Excuses CrossFit member Hyewon Gim said. 

Jiyun completed the first two rounds of the workout with a timebreak time of 10:26.

“She has a competitive spirit,” longtime No Excuses CrossFit member Vince Raia said. “Jiyun works hard to constantly improve. Won’t settle for runner-up. An excellent model for working hard to achieve your goals.”

Despite all of Jiyun’s success in the first two weeks of The Open, you wouldn’t know it from her. Her modest personality continues to inspire others in the gym.

“She’s always smiling and pushing herself to get stronger,” No Excuses CrossFit member Stephanie Barnes said.
