Women’s Duel
Workout 24.3 was initially supposed to feature just one incredible duel, where one of the participants was set to be the 6x Fittest Woman on Earth, Tia-Clair Toomey. However, Tia-Clair is experiencing some issues with her wrist, due to which she decided to withdraw from the announcement ceremony. Luckily, she still plans on performing the Workout 24.3 shortly before the submission deadline in order to give her wrist some time to rest and recover.
In order to make up for the absence of Tia-Clair Toomey, the organizers of the CrossFit Open decided to replace her with Sydney Wells, who will take on Arielle Loewen.
Sydney Wells had her breakthrough year in 2023 when she managed to secure her first CrossFit Games appearance after multiple years of not passing the Semifinals. She went on to place 28th at the 2023 CrossFit Games, which was more than a solid result for her debut. With history in multiple sports, Sydney Wells is a threat to any of her female rivals regardless of the workout.
Her opponent, Arielle Loewen, is more experienced, having made her CrossFit Games debut back in 2021, just two years after giving birth to her daughter. She went on to compete in the 2022 and 2023 CrossFit Games as well, with her most recent appearance being the most successful one, since she finished in third place.
Men’s Duel
That is not all, as two more male athletes were added to the Workout 24.3 announcement ceremony, which was not planned initially. So, aside from the women’s duel, the announcement will also feature a duel between Roman Khrennikov and Jay Crouch.
Roman Khrennikov is one of the most prominent male figures in CrossFit, having qualified for the CrossFit Games multiple times. However, he often encountered setbacks which prevented him from making his appearance. So, his debut came in 2022, where he finished in second-place behind Justin Medeiros. Roman followed that up with a third-place finish in 2023, where he captured the hearts of many by competing with a foot injury.
Jay Crouch is coming off his most successful season in the sport, as he secured a career-high eight-place finish at the 2023 CrossFit Games. Moreover, Crouch is one of the more experienced athletes in the world, having competed in crossFit for the past decade, and made six appearances at the Games.

After the results from Workout 24.3 are finalized, the overall rankings for the 2024 CrossFit Open will be available as well. So, the playing field will narrow down significantly with only a selected group of athletes going through to the Quarterfinals. That will be the second stage of the 2024 CrossFit Season, with only the Semifinals and the Games coming after it.
