Two Workouts Featured In All 2022 CrossFit Semifinals Revealed
On May 10, 2022, CrossFit HQ released the two Semifinals workouts for Individuals and Teams that will be part of all 10 Semifinal contests. For the 2022 Semifinals, athletes in each contest will perform six workouts; four are programmed by each Semifinal organizer, and CrossFit programs two.
The two workouts programmed by CrossFit will be featured at every Semifinal as a way to have more comparable results across contests. This is a targeted improvement from years past when each Semifinal was its own contest with its own programming that filtered qualified athletes to the same CrossFit Games. Check out the revealed workouts below:
