TYR Wodapalooza Qualifier Leaderboard Finalized: Who Made the Cut?
The 2024 TYR Wodapalooza qualifier leaderboard has just officially been finalized and we now know who will be joining in on he action this January.
Within the 20 elite men and 20 elite women who qualified, we have some big names, along with many new faces.
Here’s a quick look at the official qualifier results:
Women’s Leaderboard
- Grace Walton
- Lexi Neely
- Rebecca Fuselier
- Elena Carratala Sanahuja
- Stacy Lerum
- Elizabeth Wishart
- Ro Scott
- Emily Rethwill
- Freya Moosbrugger
- Christee Hollard
- Sara Alicia Fernandez Costas
- Briony Challis
- Julia Hannaford
- Keara Napoli
- Jessica Androsik
- Margaux Masset
- Nicollette Torreggiani
- Becca Merritt
- Ashley Cope
- Allison Weiss
Right away we can see that the women’s side of competition is going to be exciting to watch, as we have multiple athletes who competed at the 2022 CrossFit Games (Rebecca Fuselier, Freya Moosbrugger, Elena Carratala Sanahuja).
All three of them have likely been training with a chip on their shoulders, upset that they missed out on the 2023 Games.
Along with them, the winner of this qualifier Grace Walton will no doubt also be looking to prove herself after missing out on qualifying for this year’s Games by just 35 points at the Oceania Semifinal.
Men’s Leaderboard
- Austin Hatfield
- Juan Ignacio Sforzini
- Antonios Makaronas
- Harry Lightfoot
- Francis Pelletier
- Kevin Jurs
- Jack Rozema
- CJ Gerald
- Travon Benton
- John Wood
- Alexandre Caron
- Drake Lewis
- Connor Voltz
- Tanner Balazs
- William Bennett
- Nikita Yundov
- Guilherme Domingues
- Lucas Heuze
- Evan Rogers
- Joshua Hong
As we can see from this list, this group doesn’t have many big names besides four-time individual Games athlete Alexandre Caron.
This however, gives an opportunity to some lesser-known athletes who will be eager to make a name for themselves in the sport.
Can this group’s leader, Austin Hatfield prove on-site that he is just as capable in live-competition as he is online?
With a 58 point lead over second place in the qualifier, he seems to definitely be in the best shape at the moment, but will he still be next year?
Final Thoughts
Since the athletes from the 2023 Games who will compete in Miami have not yet been announced, we don’t yet have a full picture of the field of athletes that will be competing, but until then there is a question to be asked.
Can any of these athletes who earned their invitation through the qualifier crack the top five when live competition comes around? Have these athletes done enough in training to beat the very best of the sport?
We’ll just have to find out in January.
