The greatest event in the world of CrossFit, which is the 2022 CrossFit Games, is set to take place from Aug.3-7, 2022, in Madison, WI. The roster for this competition has almost been fully formed following the completion of all ten Semifinal contests. However, two spaces remained open in each division, and they will also get occupied by the top finishers at the 2022 CrossFit Last Chance Qualifier.
The three highest finishers from each Semifinal competition, who narrowly missed securing their place in the 2022 CrossFit Games, will take part in the Last Chance Qualifier. So, some of the greatest competitors from multiple continents will go against each other on June 29 – July 1, 2022, in an online format of competing.
