Men’s Results
The men’s division witnessed an intense battle for the win between two athletes, but it was Henrique Moreira who came out on top. He won one event but placed second in three other workouts, dropping a minimal amount of points overall. So, Henrique could afford a 22nd-place finish in the final event and still remain in first place. As a result, Henrique is now looking forward to his debut in the Individual division of the 2025 CrossFit Games.
Kalyan Ribeiro de Souza was close to Henrique throughout the first portion of the competition, but his 17th-place finish in the fourth event opened the gap between the two. Kaylan was trying hard to catch up afterwards but ended up settling for second place, qualifying for the Games as well. Kaylan already has experience at the highest level, as this year will mark his third consecutive appearance at the Games.

She has also made one individual appearance back in 2019 and is now set to return to the highest stage.
Luiza Marques was the second-place finisher, securing the position in the final moments of the competition by overtaking Agustina Haag. Luiza was seemingly not in the race for the second qualifying spot but managed to pull off a spectacular comeback in the last two events, winning both to punch her ticket to the 2025 CrossFit Games.
