We have thrown this idea around but when Dani Speegle  brought it up on a Kettlebells and Cocktails  podcast we decided we wanted to flush out what a Pro Card Status could look like. 

Dave breaks down why we think it would be a good idea for the sport of CrossFit and the elite athletes at the beginning.  At about 3:45 he gets into the criteria that we would use and the athletes that would be on those lists.

A Lifetime, 3 Year, 2 Year and 1 Year Pro Athlete status in Crossfit would get an athlete a direct to Semifinals invite. This status could also be used for offseason competitions to remove the need for Pro athletes to do qualifiers and allow competition organizers some lists to choose from when selecting athletes to invite to their compeitions.

Men's field is highlighted by Lazar Dukic, Jonne Koski, and Travis Mayer. Women's field is highlighted by Karin Freyova, Jacqueline Dahlstrom and Anikha Greer.

The 2023 CrossFit Games are complete.  The Fittest Man and Women on earth have been crowned.  After watching the Fittest on Earth be crowned, we had 5 interesting points to highlight from the Men’s field at the 2023 CrossFit Games.

1.  What separates the best CrossFitters from the rest?  One area of the CrossFit Venn diagram (Gymnastics, Weightlifting, Monostructural) stood out as the differentiators of the top 10 male athletes at the Games
2. Want to win the CrossFit Games, then you need to have flawless execution.  Jeffrey Adler in 2023, Roman Khrennikov in 2023 and 2022, Justin Medeiros in 2022 and 2021 were all incredibly hard to beat.
3. CrossFit Training Camps were a hot topic with the rise of PRVN, HWPO, CrossFit Mayhem, and Brute Strength among others.  But did it help you make the top 10 of the CrossFit Games
4. The Career CrossFit athlete is here.  The sport of fitness has matured to the point where athletes can have a long career.  With Jeffrey Adler reaching the podium for the first time at 29, Patrick Vellner on the podium at 33, and Jelle Hoste being a rookie at 28, there is lots of opportunity to excel in CrossFit.  It also gives rising stars like Dallin Pepper an opportunity to be in the top 10 for the next 10 years.
5. No flash.  While we saw lots of outstanding performances, Justin Medeiros, Sam Kwant, Jayson Hopper and Cole Sager lacked the flash we expected.
