The 2013 CrossFit Games, the seventh CrossFit Games, were held on July 24–28, 2013, at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.[1] The men's competition was won by Rich Froning Jr., the women's by Samantha Briggs, and the Affiliate Cup by Hacks Pack UTE.[2]

This year 138,000 athletes took part in the Open. The cash prize for the individual winners at the Games increased to $275,000. This is the first year prize money was also awarded to the top three finishers of each event.[3]

Qualification[edit]

Open[edit]

In this season, 138,000 registered for the Open to compete for a place in the Regionals of the Games.[4] The Open was held over five weeks from March 6 to April 7, with 5 workouts released for the athletes to complete, one per week.[5][6] This is the first season where the Open workouts were announced live instead of being pre-recorded.[7][8] Rich Froning and Samantha Briggs were the respective male and female individual winners of the Open.[9]

Regionals[edit]

The number of qualifiers from the Open who can compete in the Regionals were reduced to 48 men and 48 women per region this year.[10] Qualifiers from the Open proceeded to take part in 7 events in three days in the Regionals; the 17 Regionals were spread over 4 weekends from May 17 through June 9, 2013.[11] Six of these Regionals streamed their events live online.[4] Unlike the preceding season, no athletes were cut during the competition. Three athletes from each Regionals qualified for the Games, apart from the Canadian Regionals (two each), and Asia, Africa and Latin America (one each). The scoring system for the Open and Regionals is the same as previous years (one point for first, two for second, etc.).[12] As with the 2012 season, extra places were given to Regionals where previous champions competed and qualified for the Games. CrossFit Games also exercised its right to offer a place in the Games to athletes who failed to qualify, which this year included past champion Kristan Clever.[13] 47 men, 44 women, 43 teams were invited to the 2013 Games.[14]

Individual events[edit]

46 men and 44 women turned up at the 2013 Games to compete. The scoring system used was the same as the 2012 Games', and all events were scored a maximum of 100 points.[15]
