Additional Information About The 2023 CrossFit Games
The workouts for the 2023 CrossFit Games have started getting unveiled. However, only four workouts have been revealed so far for the Individual divisions and three workouts for the Teams. Some will not be announced until just a few minutes before they are scheduled to take place, as CrossFit believes that the athletes should know how to make the best of their situation without knowing anything in advance.
In addition, we also saw the first case of a failed drug test for the 2023 CrossFit Games this year, as Jason Smith from South Africa has been kicked out of the 2023 CrossFit Games lineup. His drug test came back positive for two banned substances, but Jason has issued a statement of his own as well.
The organization frowns upon any use of performance enhancing drugs, which is why they will have random on-site testing at the 2023 CrossFit Games. In addition, the top 5 finishers from each division will be drug tested at the end of the competition.

This has been a rough season for many elite CrossFit athletes, which is why we have already experienced many withdrawals from the Games. Those include Ricky Garard, Mal O’Brien, Kara Saunders, Haley Adams, and others.
The woman who has won the last six CrossFit Games, Tia-Clair Toomey, will leave the biggest gap in this year’s lineup. She got pregnant last year, making it impossible for her to qualify for the Games this year. She has since given birth to a baby girl named Willow. So, we will see a new women’s champion crowned after a long reign of Tia-Clair.
On the other hand, Justin Medeiros is coming back in hopes of claiming his third consecutive title. However, he will encounter much resistance from the likes of Roman Khrennikov, Pat Vellner, and many others. So, it is clear that excitement will not lack at the 2023 CrossFit Games.
