The Last-Chance Qualifier might be new to the 2021 competitive season, but it’s not the first time athletes outside of a qualifying position have been given one more shot to make it to the Games.

In this edition of Inside the Leaderboard, Tommy Marquez describes the 2009 Last-Chance Qualifier, CrossFit’s first virtual competition, and athletes’ first second chance.

Marquez also catches up with Tommy Hackenbruck, 2009’s second-fittest man on Earth, to learn how another attempt at a Games ticket changed his life.
