2024 CrossFit Semifinals — Individual and Team Workouts Released

May 3, 2024 by

The CrossFit Games team has released the 2024 Semifinals workouts for individuals and teams just weeks before the in-person events begin on May 16. 

The Semifinals represent the first in-person stage of the 2024 season for these individual and team athletes, who started their season with the CrossFit Open and moved on to an online Quarterfinal. 

  • However, the Quarterfinal didn’t come without its difficulties, as many elite athletes, some previous Semifinals and Games athletes, lost their spots after major and minor penalties were given out following a video review of Individual Quarterfinals Workout 1

After a very reshuffled leaderboard and many sleepless nights for coaches all around the globe, it’s now time to turn to the last stop before the 2024 CrossFit Games.

Remind me: Semifinal events are held over three weekends and across seven regions. All events are programmed with the same workouts released by CrossFit HQ. 

It seems that the CrossFit Games team released the workouts via its Instagram account only after YouTuber and CrossFit personality Andrew Hiller leaked two of them
