Some important male names are out of the five qualifying spots, such as Colten Mertens (6th) and Kristoff Horvath (20th). Sam Cournoyer and Travis Mayer.
The standard for wod 1 said to weigh the equipment before starting, which Travis Mayer did not do, thus receiving CrossFit rejection of his video.
Like him, who knows how many others will receive penalties.
Among women, Matilde Garnes (6th) and Elisa Fuliano (8th) failed to qualify a few weeks after competing at the CrossFit Games.
