For the past three weeks the global CrossFit community has been participating in a series of skillfully programmed WOD’s designed to test their competence across ten recognised fitness domains. Whether you’re a heavy lifter who revelled in the 1RM Thruster in 23.2, or a long levered runner who annihilated the shuttle runs and burpee pull-ups (also in 23.2), the Open gave CrossFit athletes the chance to see where they measured up against themselves, as well as other people like them from around the world.
Perth delivered the global CrossFit community some outstanding Open performances from athletes across a range of divisions, with over a dozen of our local athletes ranking in the Top 30 in their respective divisions across Oceania.
Grace Walton is storming onto CrossFits global stage with a series of impressive performances, most recently at the Down Under Championships where she beat CrossFit seven-time CrossFit Games athlete Lauren Fisher (USA) finishing 4th overall.
John Champion, once a young up and comer is now a solidified veteran on the national CrossFit scene. John secured his best performance in an Open with a 5th place finish in Oceania.
Two-time CrossFit Games athlete Ryan Woodall has made a dominant return from injury securing a 3rd place ranking in Oceania in the Open in his division while Caine Hayes continues his success with a 6th place finish after being crowned 2nd Fittest Man on Earth at the 2022 CrossFit Games.
And we can’t go without mentioning Isaac Newman (holder of the biggest snatch in the Perth CrossFit scene) for backing up his 9th place finish at Down Under Championships with a solid 15th place finish across Oceania for the Open proving it was no fluke.
