Men
The men’s division witnessed a clear distinction between the top three athletes and the remainder of the field, as Hoffer, Khrennikov, and Adler were the only ones to accumulate over 500 points overall. Interestingly, Victor Hoffer and Roman Khrennikov finished on the same number of points, which resulted in a tiebreaker. So, seeing that they both had one event win, as well as one second-place finish, the tiebreaker was based on the number of third-place finishes. Khrennikov placed third just once, while Hoffer achieved the feat two times, which secured him the win.
Roman Khrennikov had to settle for second place, while Jeffrey Adler rounded out the top three with just five points less than the leading duo. All three men secured a spot at the CrossFit Games, beating the likes of Austin Hatfield and Colten Mertens.
