CrossFit Quarterfinals Weekend Thread

[h4]/open2023[/h4]

Workouts are out! Now it's time for some of those out there to go and try to qualify for the semis, or to just see how they stack up.

Post predictions, scores, talk about strategy, ask questions, or whatever else you need!

A reminder to be careful with any links you might see, these events always bring out a bunch of spammers

If there are leaks please refrain from posting them here and take them to more private channels

Update for the challenge will be coming. I'm sick so my brain is working at like 50% capacity so it's slow sledding

@jonjones229 Gotta be honest, I don’t understand the hand-wringing over these workouts. As someone who did not make quarterfinals (85th percentile) - these workouts are all doable for me with no limiting movements. Skills and strength are just as much a part of CrossFit as a big engine (my limiting factor)

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Anyone know when your CrossFit athlete profile gets updated?

 

[littlefox]

@dawn16 Mine was updated about a week ago.

 

[primrosehill]

@jonjones229 Did Will Georges just retire? I don’t speak French, so I can’t tell if he means as of today or at the end of this season

 

[jonjones229]

@primrosehill He is retiring as an individual. Said the decision was made prior to the result. He will release a video with more information, information on his future, and his coming projects in the coming week.

There's obviously more to the post than that, but I think that most directly answers your question

 

[primrosehill]

@jonjones229 Sorry… is he not expecting to make the Games? Like will he play this season out to the end or is he done as of now?

 

[jonjones229]

@primrosehill He didn't qualify out of quarters

Talks about it a bit in the post that he did really poorly comparatively on his first workout and couldn't dig out of the hole

 

[primrosehill]

@jonjones229 Got it. Thanks for the translation. That sucks, I love Willy

 

[haytem]

@jonjones229 Why does AGQF only get three days w/ five workouts, but individual had four days? Am I missing something?

 

[laurencesantos]

@haytem I know the email said 5 workouts, but the website only shows submission for 4 workouts. https://games.crossfit.com/quarterfinals/schedule under age groups.

 

[littlefox]

@haytem I was wondering the same thing. Last year it was the same as Open QF.

 

[haytem]

@littlefox I am hoping on an “a & b” sort of workout scheme

 

[littlefox]

@haytem That makes sense to me. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to give AGOQ the same volume but less time.

 

[hebrewcalendar12]

@jonjones229 Isn’t Tia-Clair making to the quarterfinals? I could not find her scores in the leaderboard.

 

[jonjones229]

@hebrewcalendar12 She's not doing them full RX because of her pregnancy. She scaled a few.movements etc. I don't think she officially registered for them either

 

[hebrewcalendar12]

@jonjones229 Oh I see, thanks!

 

[kennybest]

@jonjones229 So Where's Hillers score?

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Alright guys, last event of the weekend.

24M/66’/160lbs
QF Event 5- 86 reps
Pretty proud of this since 315 is 90%+ of my 1RM. Hope everyone had a great weekend and learned a lot about themselves and their limitations for next year! Proud of you all!

@jonjones229 Will we be able to see the uploaded videos eventually?
