Quarterfinals 2023

Third edition of the Quarterfinals in the history of CrossFit.

Once the Open is concluded and the leaderboard is finalized, CrossFit will send out invitations to the Quarterfinals.

If an athlete declines his or her invitation, CrossFit has no intention of filling that spot with the next athlete on the list.

Where can they be seen?

The Quarterfinals are just an extension of the Open with the athletes who have qualified. The mechanism is the same and they have to complete the WODs on their own, but there is no live event.

Unless athletes by their own means decide to share their WODs, there is no other way to view these qualifiers.
