The best athletes who will not make it to the semifinals
Bethany Shadburne will miss another season of the CrossFit® Games after injuring her back while warming up for “Other Total,” event 4 of the quarter-finals.
Also Emma Cary announced on his Instagram account that after a accident in the quarter-finals he will not compete in the next Games.
Also, unless a lot of penalties are imposed and the scores change a bit in the European region, it appears that Sam Briggs he will not return to the individual division this year.
He currently sits in 67th place, with only 60 athletes advancing to the two European semi-finals. The 40-year-old had planned to retire after this season. She is still eligible to compete in the Masters quarterfinals in two weeks.
