The Mayhem Classic went off this past weekend and the first 4 athletes earned their tickets to the 2025 CrossFit Games. As we look back at the event, was it a success? Bigger picture, what makes a CrossFit Semifinal a success.

We take a look at the 4 questions I think can determine if an event is a success or not.

The 2025 Mayhem Classic will see 20 men fight for 2 tickets to the 2025 CrossFit Games. Out of the 20 men, I think 5 are favorites for the Games tickets, Austin Hatfield, Colten Mertens, James Sprague, Jayson Hopper and Roman Khrennikov. For two of these men, how they do in Event 3 will likely determine their fate in the competition.

For Colten Mertens and Austin Hatfield event 3 pairs a wheelhouse movement in Thrusters with a movement that has given them troubles in the past, Legless Rope Climbs. Will they pick up points and event win, or will they give away some points to the other contenders?
