CrossFit Copa Sur, CrossFit Strength in Depth, and CrossFit Atlas Games closed out Semifinals and qualified 12 more men, women, and teams for the CrossFit Games. Adrian Conway joins Chase Ingraham on the podcast to recap the action from the competitions and preview the Last-Chance Qualifier.

Two athletes announced their retirement from individual competition last weekend — Sam Briggs and Dani Horan. Ingraham and Conway highlight Briggs’ and Horan’s careers and legacies in CrossFit, and discuss how retiring from sports can affect athletes.

The duo breaks down surprising upsets, incredible performances, and tight races from the three Semifinals, including CrossFit Oslo’s clean sweep, Katrin Davidsdottir’s inability to qualify for the Games, and Gui Malheiros’ impressive lifting.

Ingraham and Conway also shed light on what it takes to livestream and broadcast an event, and give their opinions on how things can be improved in the future.

Before closing out the show with their favorite moments from the weekend, the pair reviews the Last-Chance Qualifier rosters and makes their “way too early predictions” about which two athletes will punch their tickets to Madison via the virtual event.
