2024 CrossFit North America West Semifinal Results
Men
Although 2023 was a season to forget for Just Medeiros, it seems that this year he is determined to take back the title of Fittest Man On Earth. He has been performing well through the opening stages of the 2024 Season, and has now managed to win the 2024 CrossFit North America West Semifinal. He did not win any events in the Semifinal, but managed to place in the top 8 across all of them, despite the incredibly stacked lineup of athletes.
Going into the final event of the competition, it seemed that Brent Fikowski would top the podium of the 2024 CrossFit North America West Semifinal. However, Fikowski placed 10th on the last workout and dropped a significant number of points.

So, she returned this year and won the 2024 CrossFit North America West Semifinal. So, although she placed 26th last year, the 2024 CrossFit Games will likely be much more successful for her.
Abigail Domit was the only woman to exceed the 500-point mark, winning her Semifinal with relative comfort. She was battling against Alex Gazan for the majority of the competition, but Gazan placed 23rd in the penultimate event, which made the task much easier for Domit.
