The Oldest CrossFit Games Athlete: Jacinto Bonilla

jacinto-storm-oldest-crossfit-games-athlete-wod-fever-blog-post

CrossFit boxes around the world are doing the "Jacinto Storm" WOD this week in honor of Jacinto Bonilla, the oldest athlete to compete in the CrossFit Games.

Jacinto Bonilla turned 78 on July 3rd.  After a lifelong passion for sports and bodybuilding, he first walked into a CrossFit gym in 2006 at the age of 67.  While he knew some of the techniques, Jacinto quickly learned how rigorous the training was and soon fell in love with the regimen.

Defeating Cancer

His work attitude inspired everyone around him.  Then in 2008 he came down with prostate cancer. Despite eating healthy and training most of his life, he was sent a curve ball.  Luckily after unfailing optimism, an operation, and two months of recovery, Jacinto was back in the gym.

Doctors cautioned him about starting CrossFit again.  His first lift – he felt a tug in his abdomen and discovered he had a hernia that put him back on the operating table. Nevertheless, he persevered.

Jacinto healed up and competed in the July 2008 CrossFit Games only 3 months after defeating cancer and a hernia. He hasn’t looked back since.

The 'Jacinto Storm' WOD

On his 69th birthday, he created the “Jacinto Storm” WOD, modeling it after “Filthy Fifty”.  Each year, he has added another rep.  And each year, more CrossFit athletes have joined him in celebration of his remarkable fitness achievement.

  • I lost access to a crypto wallet that contained $243,800, and at first I thought everything was gone for good. That money represented years of savings and investments, so the situation was very stressful. I tried several ways to fix it myself, but none of them worked, and it started to feel hopeless. After some searching, I came across AstraWeb. I contacted them and explained my situation, and their team took time to review my case, check transaction history, and analyze possible recovery options. The process wasn’t instant, and it required patience, but they kept me updated and explained what was happening in a clear way. Over time, their technical skills and persistence paid off, and access to the wallet was successfully restored. What I thought was permanently lost became recoverable, and that was a huge relief. This experience showed me how important it is to work with skilled cyber recovery professionals when large digital assets are involved. AstraWeb handled the case professionally and stayed committed until it was resolved.

  • I was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting {rickatmcardoffer@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw EUR 10,000 instant per day & was credited with EUR 50,000,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are indonesia Germany and USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
