Freestanding Handstand holds first hit the elite CrossFit competition world at the 2020 CrossFit Games, and since then we have seen it at least twice more.  First at 2023 Wodapalooza and more recently at 2024 Fittest Experience.

With handstand holds filtering down to lower level CrossFit competitions, how have the time evolved from the best in the world to competitions where only 25% of the athletes attended a CrossFit Semifinal in 2023.

Jeffrey Adler had a 1st place in Helena and a 2nd place in the 5KM run at the 2023 CrossFit Games.  He also had an epic sound bit in a post event interview where he asked the world, "You guys are surprised I can run, huh?".  In this video we go back to 5 years to and look at all the running events Jeffrey Adler has competed in, including past CrossFit Games, Rogue Invitationals, Dubai Fitness Championships, and others, to see when Adler stopped struggling with running.

The last time we saw Sara Sigmundsdottir at the CrossFit Games it was in 2020.  After a torn ACL wiped out her 2021 season, she has just missed out qualifying in 2022 and 2023.  We take a look at athletes who have made it back to the CrossFit games after missing 3 or more years, and what the chances are of Signmundsdottir not only making it back to the CrossFit Games, but also being competitive with the Fittest on Earth.

The 2023 Madrid Championship and the Northern California Classic went off this weekend, with some familiar names on top of the podium  Karin Freyova and Lazar Dukic won in Madrid, while Sean Sweeney and Brittany Weiss won in NorCal.  Each of them took home a pretty substantial prize purse.  Both Dukic and Freyova won more in Madrid than they did in the CrossFit Games, which is impressive considering both athletes finished in the top 15 at the CrossFit Games.  Weiss earned as much at NorCal as she did as part of the Fittest Team on Earth, CrossFit Invictus.  Sean Sweeney won more at NorCal than BKG did at the CrossFit Games.

Anikha Greer and Jacqueline Dahlstrøm return to the competition floor this weekend in the 2023 Madrid Championship.  Both athletes missed qualifying for the CrossFit Games by one spot in Semi-finals.

With both Greer and Dahlstrøm being among the favourites at Madrid this year, we thought it would be interesting to see how they stacked up in a head-to-head event comparison.  We take a look at who did better in the events from the 2023 CrossFit Open, 2023 CrossFit Quarterfinals, 2023 CrossFit Semifinals, and the 2022 Rogue Invitational.

More stats on Madrid athletes are available on our Patreon page.
