Week three of the 2022 CrossFit Semifinals has concluded with the 2022 Granite Games and the 2022 Far East Throwdown. Both competitions took place over the weekend of June 3-5, on two separate continents. The Granite Games seemed more interesting on paper, as it featured the likes of Brent Fikowski, Mallory O’Brien, Chandler Smith, and more. However, both competitions displayed amazing showdowns between some of the world’s fittest athletes.
The 2022 Granite Games took place in Eagan, MN, and served as one of the 2022 CrossFit Games qualifiers for the North American continent. So the top five finishers in each division (male, female, and teams) secured their spot in CrossFit’s most prestigious competition. The 2022 Granite Games also saw Brent Fikowski, Mallory O’Brien, and CrossFit Invictus claim victories in their respective divisions.
