2023 CrossFit South America Semifinal Results— Kaique Cerveny & Victoria Campos Top The Leaderboards
The 2023 CrossFit South America Semifinal was the third competition in the second week of Semifinals. The South America Semifinal, unlike the other two competitions, only had a few CrossFit Games qualifying spots for each division. As a result, only the top two in the Men’s and Women’s divisions, as well as the Teams division, were guaranteed a ticket for the 2023 CrossFit Games.
In an interesting set of circumstances, both the winners of the men’s and women’s divisions won by a margin of 16 points. All athletes were eager to secure a spot in CrossFit’s biggest competition, and this illustrates just how competitive both divisions were.
2023 CrossFit South America Semifinal
Arguably the biggest surprise in all Semifinals so far is that Guilherme Malheiros did not qualify for the 2023 CrossFit Games. The Brazilian has placed in the top 10 in both the 2022 & 2021 CrossFit Games, but that will not be the case this year as he placed third in the 2023 CrossFit South America Semifinal.
Kaique Cerveny and Kalyan Souza were the two men that outperformed Malheiros. Both men performed admirably, but Cerveny was almost perfect. He finished five events in second place and two more in the top five. As a result, he did not give anyone the opportunity to derail his victory.

The only regional Semifinals that have yet to take place are those in Europe and Asia. Both will take place this weekend and will fill the remaining 13 CrossFit Games places for both men and women.

2023 CrossFit Torian Pro Semifinal Results — Jay Crouch & Ellie Turner Victorious
CrossFit is firing up in all regions of the world, which includes the Oceania continent. So, the 2023 CrossFit Torian Pro Semifinal, official semifinal for the Oceania region, took place on May 26-28, in Tennyson, QLD, Australia. Despite being considered relatively less competitive compared to other Semifinals, the 2023 CrossFit Oceania Semifinal still offered three qualifying spots for the 2023 CrossFit Games in the Men’s, Women’s, and Teams divisions. It was obviously the goal of every athlete in this Semifinal to stand on the podium at the end of the competition.
Jay Crouch was the only man to reach 600 points with no one else even close to achieve this remarkable feat. Even in the women’s division no athlete was capable of scoring 600 points, as the winner, Ellie Turner, finished with 592 points.

The 2023 North America West Semifinal was arguably the biggest competition out of the seven this year, purely due to the strength of the rosters. The competitiveness of the athletes is evident due to the fact that some big names like Dani Speegle and Laure Fisher missed out on qualifying for the 2023 CrossFit Games.

2023 CrossFit Africa Semifinal Results — Jason Smith & Michelle Basnett Qualify For CrossFit Games
The 2023 CrossFit Africa Semifinal took place on May 19-21, in South Africa, and gathered this continent’s greatest CrossFit athletes. However, only the winners of both the men’s and women’s divisions earned qualification for the 2023 CrossFit Games. Consequently, dozens of elite athletes gave their all in the hopes of securing the exclusive top spot. However, Jason Smith and Michelle Basnett won their respective men’s and women’s divisions and thus qualified for the 2023 CrossFit Games.
Jason Smith had no problems in winning the men’s division of the 2023 CrossFit Africa Semifinal. He won two of the events and claimed impressive top-10 finishes in all of the remaining five events. In the end, his point tally came out to 596, while his closest rival, Conrad Winnertz, had 500.
Michelle Basnett, however, had to grind to get her victory. She accumulated an impressive 613 points with three event victories, but still had a few athletes narrowly following her. However, Michelle proved to be the most consistent in the field and rightfully earned her place at the 2023 CrossFit Games.

Thus, the top 12 men and 11 women from the North America East Semifinal will be going through to the Games. Despite facing tough competition, Jeffrey Adler and Emma Cary managed to secure victory in the men’s and women’s divisions, respectively.

An Ultimate Guide to Watching the 2023 CrossFit Semifinals
The 2023 CrossFit Semifinals are just around the corner, since the first out of the three consecutive competition weeks begins on May 18th. This serves as the final obstacle for everyone who got through the 2023 CrossFit Open & Quarterfinals, as the next stage is the 2023 CrossFit Games. So, some great battles will take place in the Semifinals and there is a way for you to watch them from the comfort of your home.
This year’s CrossFit Semifinals are divided into on-site competitions in seven regions. So, each region will feature their own competition and they will take place on varying dates. It is important to note that although there are seven Semifinal competitions, each of them will consist of the same tests (workouts) issued by CrossFit.

How To Watch The 2023 CrossFit Semifinals?
CrossFit is taking it upon themselves to organize livestreams for four out of the seven competitions. The competitions broadcasted by CrossFit will be: North America East, North America West, Europe, and Oceania Semifinals. These four competitions will be streamed on the official CrossFit Games website and the CrossFit Games App.
On the other hand, the Africa, Asia, and South America Semifinal livestreams will be put together by the organizers of the aforementioned events. The links for these three livestreams are not available yet, but we will add them here once they are.
However, only two out of the four days will see all events live streamed, as per the statement of CrossFit. They revealed that all workouts will be broadcasted on Thursdays and Sundays, while workouts One and Three from Friday and Saturday will not be live streamed.
“For the CrossFit-produced broadcast, you can watch all events for the team and individual divisions on Thursdays and Sundays. Coverage on Fridays and Saturdays will begin on the main field of play (11:45 a.m. local Friday and 11:30 a.m. local Saturday).
The events on the second field (Individual Tests 1 and 3, Team Test 3) won’t be streamed. Highlights of those events will be shared at the start of the livestreams each day.”

The 2023 CrossFit Games are set to take place from August 1-6, in Madison, Wisconsin once again. It’s hard to predict the outcome of the competition or who the favorites will be, as several of the top athletes have had to withdraw for various reasons.
The biggest upset is Tia-Clair Toomey who will not be appearing in the 2022 CrossFit games due to pregnancy. She recently gave birth to her daughter and will miss out on the biggest CrossFit competition after six years of sitting on the throne. However, Mal O’Brien, Ricky Garard, and some others have also withdrawn from this season already.
