The 2008 CrossFit Games were the second annual CrossFit Games to be held following the inaugural Games in 2007. The Games were held on July 5–6, 2008, on a ranch in Aromas, California, United States.[1]
As with the first Games, there was no qualification process for athletes wishing to compete in the Games.[2] The number of participating athletes was limited to 300 on a first-come first-serve basis, and the number of competition events increased to four.[3]
The men's competition was won by Jason Khalipa, the women's by Caity Matter, and the Affiliate Cup was awarded to CrossFit Oakland.[4] Each winner of the individual events won $1,500.[5] The first documentary film of the Games, Every Second Counts, was made for this year's Games.[6]
2008 CrossFit Games at the ranch in Aromas; the deadlifts and burpees event
The first three events for the second CrossFit Games took place on Saturday July 5, 2008, and the final event was held the following day. The winners were determined by the lowest cumulative time taken to complete the four events. The Affiliate Cup was awarded to the affiliate with lowest combined time for its top two men and top two women.[7] The scoring format for the 2008 games is reflected in the title of the documentary film made of this year's Games, Every Second Counts.[8]

The Squat Grace event comprised thirty squatclean and jerks. The weights used were 155 pounds (70 kilograms) for the men and 100 pounds (45 kilograms) for the women.

This allowed the spectators to see who the overall winners were since they would finish the event first.
