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 have always seen the opportunity to invest with trepidation. After selling our business two years ago, my spouse and I decided to use the money we saved to purchase some Bitcoin. I have been retired for two years. After seeing an ad on Instagram that seemed legitimate, I made the decision to contact them about investing in their platform. Together, my spouse and I invested $430,000.00 USD in cryptocurrency. We were even confident that we would treble our original investment. After a while, we discovered that everything was a hoax, in contrast to what we had been told. We were going through a really horrible period, but luckily we were able to contact an old friend who told us about Wizard James Recovery, and how they might assist us in receiving our money back. After we got in touch with Wizard James Recovery, the hacking firm was able to retrieve everything we had lost in a matter of days. We have found Wizard James Recovery to be of great assistance, and we strongly advise anyone wishing to retrieve their money back to get in touch with them using the following channels.

  • I am deeply grateful for the pivotal role DECODE HACKERS played in recovering my 3.95 Bitcoin and 10 Ethereum, which I lost in a romance scam. My journey began innocently enough, enticed by promises of significant returns from a Telegram group. Believing it to be a legitimate opportunity, I invested my hard-earned cryptocurrency, only to discover over time that it was a carefully orchestrated deception. Attempts to withdraw my funds were met with delays and excuses, gradually revealing the true nature of the scam. In my quest for a solution, I came across DECODE HACKERS through positive online testimonials and recommendations. Despite initial skepticism, I contacted them, detailing my predicament and seeking their expertise in recovering my lost funds. From the outset, their team demonstrated a profound understanding of my situation, offering empathy, reassurance, and a clearly defined recovery strategy.

The turning point came when DECODE HACKERS delivered the news of their success in recovering a substantial portion of my lost Bitcoin and Ethereum.
