The 2022 CrossFit Games is the 16th iteration of the annual competition in the sport of CrossFit held from August 3 to August 7, 2022, in Madison, Wisconsin. [1] [2] Both Justin Medeiros and Tia-Clair Toomey repeated their 2021 win in their respective men's and women's competitions, [3] while CrossFit Mayhem Freedom won the team competition. [4]

Contents

The qualification process for the 2022 CrossFit Games was similar to the one used in 2021, starting with the Open, followed by the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and a last-chance qualifier. [5] The prize pool increased to $2,845,000 across all divisions this year; the elite individual winners received the same prize money but for the first time, all 40 top men and women would receive a share of the prize purse, as well as podium finishers of five Adaptive divisions. [6] [7]

This season Justin Bergh became the general manager of sport and Adrian Bozman the director of competition, taking over from Dave Castro, who had been responsible for the Games since its inception. [8] [9] Bozman introduced a number of new movements at the Games which proved challenging for a number of athletes. [10] [11]

This season Roman Khrennikov participated in person at the Games for the first time despite qualifying for the Games four previous times, and Ricky Garard returned after a 4-year ban for drug use. Khrennikov and Garard was placed 2nd and 3rd respectively, with 2021 winner Justin Medeiros taking the crown for the second time in a tightly fought contest. [12] On the women's side, Tia-Clair Toomey prevailed over challenger Mal O'Brien who, at the age of 18, became the youngest-ever competitor to reach the podium. Toomey's 6th consecutive win was a new record, making her the only person to win six individual titles at the Games. [13]

Qualification

The qualification system is broadly similar to that used for the 2021 CrossFit Games, with some adjustments. [14]

Open

The Games season started with the Open, which took place over three weeks from February 24 to March 14, 2022. [15] The number of athletes registered for the Open increased again this year to 294,980. [16] This is the first Games season not to be programmed by Dave Castro after he was dismissed ahead of the Open, [17] [18] although the workouts for the Open were mostly similar to those pre-arranged by Castro with some modifications (e.g. the Shuttle Run was moved to the quarterfinal). [19] [20] Only three workouts were scheduled for this year's Open. Saxon Panchik and Mallory O'Brien were the respective male and female winners of the Open. [21] [22]

Quarterfinals

The top 10% of individual participants and top 25& of teams from the Open of each continent qualified for the Quarterfinals. [23] [24] The individual Quarterfinals were again held online like the Open, with 5 workouts released all at the same time to be completed by individual athletes from March 24 to March 27, but with the scores for individual workouts to be submitted at specified time. [25] The team Quarterfinals were held on April 8–10, 2022, [26] while the Age Group Quarterfinals were held on April 21–24, 2022. [27] A new element, the Shuttle Run, was introduced this year for the individual quarterfinals, [28] but caused some controversy after many failed to be penalized for not performing the unfamiliar workout correctly. [29] [20]

Semifinals

This year, in order to introduce some level of uniformity, all semifinal competitions would have six workouts each, two of which are identically programmed by CrossFit for all the semifinals. [30] The prize purse for the semifinals remained the same as that for the 2021 Games. [31] Athletes who qualified for multiple stages, such as Individual, Team, or Age Group, can only participate in one. [32] Ten Semifinals were scheduled to be held on six continents over four weeks starting May 20, 2022: four in North America (Syndicate Crown, Mid-Atlantic CF Challenge, Granite Games, Atlas Games), two in Europe (Lowland Throwdown, Strength in Depth), one each in South America (CF Copa Sur), Asia (Far East Throwdown), Africa (Fittest In Cape Town), and Oceania (Torian Pro). 30 men, 30 women, and 20 teams competed in each semifinal. The number of qualifiers stayed unchanged from 2021: 5 men and women from each North American and European semifinal, three from Oceania, two from Asia and South America, and one from Africa. [33]

The first ever Age Group Semifinal was held online, [34] as were the Adaptive Divisions. [14]
