The Top 20 list includes the highest-ranked male and female athletes who are not National Champions. CrossFit sent out the invitation to the 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games on Thursday, and athletes were given a deadline of 5 p.m. PT on Monday, May 6 to accept or decline the invitation. The CrossFit Games Leaderboard will be updated in the near future with athletes confirmed for the Games.
Devin Ford, a six-time East Regional athlete made the Top 20 list, but has declined his invitation to the Games. He posted on Youtube a response to controversy that surfaced after he was assessed a major penalty “for performing only 40 handstand push-ups in 19.3.” The penalty adjusted Ford’s score from 8:24 to 9:34.

It’s been a busy last couple weeks in the CrossFit world, and now only seven CrossFit Sanctional events remain. The action packed Asia CrossFit Championship wrapped up earlier this week with Brent Fikowski, Kristin Holte, and CrossFit Mayhem Freedom all taking home big victories.
The Italian Showdown also concluded over the weekend with Roman Khrennikov and Erin Vandendriessche winning the event. The winners of the Asia CrossFit Championship and Italian Showdown all received invites to the 2019 CrossFit Games.
