Performance Trends Within Masters Divisions: What It’ll Take to Qualify

The CrossFit Open is five months away and you want to know if this will be the year you qualify for the Games. For an individual athlete, a quick google search will lead you to articles on strength parameters, reps completed by athletes at the 2021 CrossFit Games and even data showing a breakdown of the average height and weight from this year’s competitors.
If you’re a Masters athlete, however, finding data on what makes a Games athlete for each age group isn’t nearly as easy -- if not impossible. However, the team at Training Think Tank collected data from past Games and Opens in each Masters division, giving us an idea of what a Masters Game athlete might look like.
Why it matters: Masters athletes are now the majority of participants in the CrossFit Open. Registration for the 2021 Open was a notable year for the Masters divisions making it the first time in history we’re seeing more athletes participate throughout the 35-65+ divisions than the individual division.
