Mayhem Freedom On Top — 2021 CrossFit Games Team Quarterfinals Results

The CrossFit Games Team Quarterfinals have come to a close, and the scores are in. Teams from six continents competed in five different workouts (known as tests) remotely that involved a massive amount of volume, placing a heavy onus on their shoulders, core, legs, and heart rates. The four-time CrossFit Games champions Team Crossfit Mayhem Freedom blitzed the field in North America for the top rank. The 2019 CrossFit Games third-place team Invictus ranked second. The top of Europe’s leaderboard saw the top three teams within five points of each other. Team Kolesnikov and Team Dubai were within a point of each other at the top of Asia’s leaderboard. Team Eikestad Mighty Oaks was nearly perfect in Africa’s Quarterfinals.

• North America: The top 80 teams (20 teams in each of the four Semifinals).
• Europe: The top 40 teams (20 teams in each of the two Semifinals) 
• Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceania: The top 20 teams, respectively.
