Days One and Two of the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games witnessed their fair share of chaos. From weather delays and miscounted laps to disastrous double-under crossovers, the Games have certainly had an exciting start. Amidst the upheaval, there have been a fair share of withdrawals thus far, with Emily Rolfe and Masters athlete Tom Muhlbeier withdrawing on Day One. On Day Three, Semifinal champ Kealan Henry also announced his withdrawal from the 2022 Games.
Henry took home an impressive victory at the 2022 CrossFit Fittest in Cape Town Semifinal. He won the third event, snagged third in both the first and last event, and never ranked lower than 10th throughout the entire competition. In locking down that victory, Henry secured the only spot given to the continent of Africa for the Individual Men’s Division.
On Day Three of the Games, Henry took to his Instagram stories to explain to his fans the series of injuries that led him to withdraw.
After falling of[f] my bicycle (hand) and not being able to do any pushing for 1 month, then tore my hamstring (Grade 3, 8 cm) a few days before the CrossFit Games… it has not been easy.

He wrote that he got sick and faced numerous other unspecified problems, as well. Still, he fought his way to 28th place in Event One, Bike to Work, which wound up being his strongest finish of the Games.
I will be back on the competition floor one day.
The 28-year-old ranked 24th worldwide in the 2022 CrossFit Open and took home first in South Africa and Africa as a whole. He also ranked third in the 2022 CrossFit Quarterfinals across Africa.
More 2022 Games Withdrawals
Alongside Henry, Masters athlete Dave Rempel withdrew on Day Three, as well.
Day Two also had its share of withdrawals, as follows:

Sam Dancer (35-39)
Darius Boockholdt (50-54)
Andrew Livingston (50-54)
