The 2023 CrossFit Games Cuts
Some athletes from the 2023 CrossFit Games lineup will end their campaign early due to the “Cuts” that the organizers will be implementing. A total of two cuts will be made on Friday and Saturday. So, the lineup will be slimmed down to 20 men, 20 women, and 20 teams, on the final day, Sunday, August 6th.
First Cut: The top 30 Men, Women, and Teams, after the competition day closes on Friday will advance, while those who place below will not compete in the remainder of the competition.
Second Cut: The top 20 Men, Women, and Teams, following the conclusion of the competition on Saturday, will advance to the final day, while those placing below will be cut out from the lineup.
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.

The 2023 CrossFit Games are set to take place from August 1-6, in Madison, Wisconsin once again. It’s hard to predict the outcome of the competition or who the favorites will be, as several of the top athletes have had to withdraw for various reasons.
The biggest upset is Tia-Clair Toomey who will not be appearing in the 2022 CrossFit games due to pregnancy. She recently gave birth to her daughter and will miss out on the biggest CrossFit competition after six years of sitting on the throne. However, Mal O’Brien, Ricky Garard, and some others have also withdrawn from this season already.
