Age Group Online Qualifier and Occupational Games
The Age Group Online Qualifier and Occupational Games will take place May 6-9. The AGOQ Games is a competition between the fittest teens aged 14-17 and masters aged 35 and over, based on the Open leaderboard.

According to the 2021 CrossFit Games Competition Rulebook the top 20 men and 20 women in each age-group division (including teenage divisions) will qualify to compete at the Games. If an athlete ranked in the top 20 in any division decline to compete at the Games, the next highest-ranked athlete in that division may qualify to compete.

- Military service member
- Law enforcement officer
- Firefighter
- Healthcare worker
- College student
- Schoolteacher
Athletes who identified themselves as having either of these occupations were eligible to compete in the Occupational Games. The top 10% of athletes from each of those categories in the Open leaderboard have been invited via e-mail last week.
At the end of The Occupational Games, the CrossFit community will have six new titles of fittest, such as Fittest Law Enforcement Officer on Earth and Fittest Healthcare Worker on Earth.
