While all three of the athletes who will be throwing down as a part of 2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.1 are incredible, Roman Khrennikov seems to be standing out. He is a two-time podium finisher at the CrossFit Games and a winner of two CrossFit Semifinals. He also received the ‘Spirit of the Games’ award in 2023, having pushed through an injury to continue competing.
Haley Adams is another accomplished athlete, having taken part in eight CrossFit Games so far. She won the 16-17 teenage division back in 2018 and carried over the incredible performances to the open division. She placed fifth at the last year’s CrossFit Games and has never finished outside of the top ten in either of the remaining appearances.
Austin Hatfield is a newer name in the top level of CrossFit, making a breakthrough at last year’s CrossFit Games with two event wins. He is notoriously great at the CrossFit Open, having placed in the top 15 worldwide for the past two years.
Two more workouts will remain after the 2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.1. The next qualifying stage will then be the CrossFit Semifinals, featuring both in-person and virtual events, along with the ‘Last Chance Qualifier’.
