The CrossFit Games will be held in the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth this season after 6 years in the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin.[2] Due to the excessive summer heat in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex which may be unsuitable for competitive sport outdoor, nearly all the events will be held indoor.[3] There is no title sponsor for the Games for the first time since 2011, but there are two primary sponsors which are GoRuck and Rogue Fitness.[4] There will no change in the top prizes awarded this year; the total prize purse for the season amounted to over $3.3 million.[5][6]

For the 2024 season, the finals of the Masters, Teens and adaptive divisions will be separated from the main CrossFit Games in Texas. Competitors 35 and over (Masters) will compete in the Masters CrossFit Games, organized in association with the Legends Championship, held August 29-September 1 at the Birmingham-Jefferson County Civic Center in Birmingham, Alabama.[7] Competitors under 18 will participate in the Teenage CrossFit Games presented by the United States Border Patrol, which is also held August 29-September 1 at CrossFit Triple Ranch in Three Rivers, Michigan and the Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[8] The adaptive athletes will compete in the Adaptive CrossFit Games by WheelWOD from September 22–24, 2024 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.[9][10]

Qualifications

edit

There are three qualification stages. As before, the CrossFit Games season starts with the Open, to be followed by the Quarterfinals and the Semifinals.[11] Some adjustments were made to the qualifying stages, in particular in the numbers of qualifiers from the Open and the Quarterfinals.[12] All stages of the adaptive division this season including the Open were split off to be operated by WheelWOD, while the various stages for the age group divisions stayed the same apart from the finals.[13][14] As in 2023, there are seven competition regions, and athletes must compete in their designated region in the semifinals unless exemptions had first been obtained.[15][16]

Open

edit

The Open started on February 29, 2024, and continued for three weeks until 18 March.[17][18] A workout was released every week for a total of 3 workouts.[19][20][21] This year 343,528 athletes (344,396 including the adaptive divisions) registered for the Open, up over 6% from 2023.[22][23] This year has the second highest number of returning athletes after 2018.[24] The Open was won by Jonne Koski for the men and Mirjam von Rohr for the women.[25]

Quarterfinals

edit

The number of qualifiers for the quarterfinals in every region has been increased from 10% of the Open participants to 25% this season.[26][27] The team quarterfinals took place on April 3–8, 2024, with the individual and age-group quarterfinals taking place on April 17–22, 2024. Competitors have more time (two days longer) than previous years to complete their workouts.[12] Four individual workouts were released on April 17, and scores from the first two needed to be submitted by April 20, with the final two on April 22.[28]

Semifinals

edit

The number of individual qualifiers for the semifinal for every region has been set at 40, meaning that the number of qualifiers for the North America and Europe regions has been reduced from 60 to 40, while the rest will be increased from 30 to 40.[29][30] Similarly, the qualifiers for the team competition for every region has been set at 30.[31] As in previous years, the semifinals will be live competitions. Each semifinal will a pre-determined minimum number of qualifiers, but the final number that qualified from each semifinal for the Games will be determined by a strength-of-field calculation used in 2023.[29][32] However, this year only those taking part in individual Semifinals counted in the calculation, a change that favored smaller regions and resulted in fewer qualifying spots for North America and Europe.[33]

Qualifiers

edit

Individuals

edit

In 2024, a total of 40 men (23 consecutively) and a total of 40 women (19 consecutively) qualified for the finals to compete as individuals.[34] The number of individual competitors would be cut during the competition, to 30 on Saturday afternoon, and 20 by Sunday morning.[35]
