This past weekend we were all glued to the official CrossFit® channels for attend the CrossFit® semi-finals, a unique and highly competitive event, which recently took place in Berlin, precisely from 1 to 4 June 2023.

These semi-finals represent the last crucial step for CrossFit® athletes looking to earn an invitation to the prestigious Games. Italy has been fortunate to have some of its most talented athletes to represent it in this competition, among which Elisa Fuliano stands out, an elite athlete who has proven her worth and earned the much coveted invitation to Madison.

But she wasn't alone!

Among the athletes who have represented Italy with determination and commitment we also find: Enrico Zenoni, Tommaso Pieri, Emanuele Biviano, Emilio Rossini, Pietro Anderloni, Federico Marra, Iurii Marincenco, Jasmine Ghilardi, Valentina Magalotti as individuals and Bad Beast team (Cecilia Ferrero, Frederik Housson, Elettra Sirotic and Gian Lorenzo Lucchesi) and CrossFit® Senigallia team (Marta Ricottini, Andrea Barbotti, Chiara Salandra, Gaetano Pezzullo).

All these great athletes they represented our Italy very well and gave us great emotions by winning some tough workouts:
