Pedro from Coffee Pods and Wods had Will Moorad, Saxon Panchik and Jackson Terry on to discuss the World Fitness Project. From the season structure to the new affiliate program, the trio answered Pedro’s questions. On top of answering the questions, it seems Saxon and Jackson were quite distracted by the live chat.

With the World Fitness Project Tour Event 1 starting on Friday, Haley Adams’ name is no longer on the leaderboard. Adams, who just (unofficially) qualified for the 2025 CrossFit Games shared that she has been sick all week. As such, it appears that Adams has elected to skip the first competition of the World Fitness Project. She is the second Pro athlete on the women’s side to sit out the competition in Westfield, Indiana.

If you have checked out the women’s leaderboard for the In-Affiliate Semifinals, you likely saw a bunch of familiar names…and Siria Meha. While the top 11 is littered with CrossFit Games veterans, sitting in 2nd place is an athlete very few have likely heard about. A glance at Meha’s competition history shows that she burst onto the scene in 2022 and has competed at a handful of European competitions where she has stood on the podium. Meha has competed in the CrossFit Open since 2022.
