As of 2018, which male athlete has won first place the most times in the CrossFit Games in the men's individual category?

Since 2007, the man who has won first place the most times in the men's individual category of the CrossFit Games has been Rich Froning Jr. Froning became the first man to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth". He has finished in first place four times in the CrossFit Games in the men's category in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He says that his success has come from being a natural athlete, hard work (training), and adhering to a proper and wholesome (nutritious) personal diet.

Rich Froning Jr. was born in July 1987 and is an American professional CrossFit athlete known for his personal achievements in the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 CrossFit Games. Besides his four individual championship wins in the men's group, in 2015, 2016, and 2018, he led team CrossFit Mayhem Freedom to a first place finish in the 'Team' category in the CrossFit Games. His team claimed the top honor, the Affiliate Cup.

Today, in 2018 Rich Froning Jr. is 31 years old. He has dominated the games in the past. Will he dominate in the future? Mathew "Mat" Fraser who is a professional CrossFit athlete at the age of 28 has won first place in the men's category in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 CrossFit Games. He took second place in 2014 and 2015. Fraser is in a good position to equal and surpass Froning. The two men are good friends and love to go head-to-head in their very competitive sport with its annual gladiatorial contest, the CrossFit Games.

Perhaps an explanation of what the CrossFit games are would have been handy...

The games are bouts of strength and speed. Pull-ups, walking on hands, carrying weights, climbing ropes, etc. Everything I wished I could do.

Guessed right, but I was going to ask my wife, as she was a Cross-fit fanatic. It never interested me, as I found it a little too "culty" for my taste. I stayed with the regular weightlifters, and everybody worked out without any of the excessive rah-rah nonsense.

Never heard of this and thought the question was strangely worded. I went with Majority Vote and it was wrong

The CrossFit Games are an annual athletic competition owned and operated by CrossFit, Inc. and currently sponsored by Reebok. The competition has been held every summer since 2007. Athletes at the Games compete in workouts they learn about days, hours, or minutes beforehand.
