July 2-4 marks the second and last chance 33 men and 34 women have to qualify for the 2021 CrossFit Games. Check out the list of all athletes competing at this weekend’s Last-Chance Qualifier.
Originally, three men and three women from each Semifinal tournament would get an invitation for the Last-Chance Qualifier. Due to travel restrictions, CrossFit changed its seeding process and some athletes ended up competing in a different Semifinal event than originally planned.
“Any event that has an athlete from another continent region competing will get four spots at the Last-Chance Qualifier instead of the original three,” CrossFit announced.
