  • Gabi Migala squeaked out an event win to kick things off in France, but three British women sat in the top five at the end of the day, including Aimee Cringle, who finished .02 seconds behind her.

  • The day’s action has already wrapped at the Asia Semifinal in Busan, Korea, with favorite Seher Kaya just three points behind Seungyeon Choi at the top for the women. And, KT CrossFit Kolesnikiv Team is the first worldwide to punch a Games ticket in 2024. Get caught up below!
