In the February 2022 edition of CrossFit Games' newsletter, The Hopper, released the equipment list for the stage of the CrossFit Quarterfinals. The quarterfinals are made up of a handful of divisions: individuals, age groups, and teams will be competing. Then, each division's top 20 elite athletes will move on to an online semifinal competition held on Jun. 2-5th.
The 3-week long 2022 CrossFit Open starts up on Feb. 24, 2022, where athletes worldwide will compete with the goal of finishing in the top 10 percent of athletes globally. Those who do will earn invitations to the 2022 CrossFit Quarterfinals, a virtual contest serving as a stepping stone for athletes looking to compete at one of the 10 in-person Semifinals events held around the world.
