2022 Granite Games & Far East Throwdown Individual Results
The 2022 CrossFit Semifinals are nearing the end with only one more full weekend of events. The season began with fierce competition as thousands of athletes battled it out during the 2022 CrossFit Quarterfinals. The elite athletes moved on to the Semifinals, where the best of the best have been going at it.
We’ve seen multiple competitions happen that produced some memorable moments for the CrossFit community over the past few weeks. First, the Semifinals kicked off with the Lowlands Throwdown, Syndicate Crown and the Torian Pro. Then the second weekend of the Semifinals came to the MACC and Fittest In Cape Town.
This weekend CrossFit played host to one event in North America with the Granite Games, while South Korea held the Far East Throwdown.
