It was another weekend full of fitness on display to figure out who is going to the CrossFit Games in August. On week 2 of 3 of the CrossFit Semifinals, we saw 25 athletes from North America West and Oceania battling for their chance at the Finals. Here are the results and names of athletes who qualified to the CrossFit Games after semifinals in North America West and Oceania.
The CrossFit Semifinals is the last stage athletes are competing before reaching the Finals, mostly known as the CrossFit Games. But how many exactly are doing to the Games? That depends on the qualifying spots that each region has – which changes every year.
This year, here are the qualifying spots for each of the CrossFit Semifinals – they are different for men and women.
To remind you how many spots were available this weekend, here is the rundown:
Men CrossFit Games Qualifying Spots:
- North America West – 9
- Oceania – 4
Women CrossFit Games Qualifying Spots
- North America West – 8
- Oceania – 4
And after 6 events, the top athletes in their respective categories got an invitation to the CrossFit Games.
