By Maysa HannawiPhoto Courtesy of Fury PhotographyIf Saturday was for the girls, then Sunday was for The Boys. In the sport of functional fitness, Sunday is known for being the most dramatic and ruthless day. The athletes know what is at stake, and they know that the points left up for grabs are quickly dwindling. Sunday of TYR Wodapalooza Miami was one of the best of them. The Boys showed up in a big way, eager to prove that they weren’t “washed up” athletes and could still hang with the young men.

In 2022, Lucy Campbell burst onto the CrossFit Games scene. The national junior-level swimmer turned CrossFitter qualified for her first Games by taking 5th place at the Lowlands Throwdown. As a rookie, Campbell placed 16th and took two event wins, including the final, putting her name on the map. In 2023, Campbell announced that she was out for the season due to a wrist injury.

Image Credit: SandClashWhile the world was largely focused on the Open, I was on the road in the Middle East covering two different CrossFit competitions in two different countries. One of the difficulties for competitions when scheduling is to try and navigate the Games season dates when they typically aren’t known until it’s too late to book venues or choose dates. One of the notable things about that however is that the athletes don’t seem to mind.

A late add to the 2023-2024 “B.Friendly World Tour”, I am on the way to Spain this week for the 20th and final stop on the tour before the Open (I measure CrossFit years from Open to Open), the Picsil Pamplona Arena Games. This competition came on my radar relatively recently as I started seeing them making athlete announcements a few weeks ago with some names I could not easily ignore.
