    QUICK START

    • Start with one pair (one man and one woman) seated on rowers with their hands off the handle. 
    • At “go,” the pair begins to row. The male athlete must complete 1,000 meters and the female athlete must complete 800 meters. 
    • When both athletes have completed their row, they move to the pull-up bar. 
      • If one athlete finishes ahead of the other, they may stage at the pull-up bar. 
      • Athletes must face the camera. 
    • The pair then completes 30 synchronized chest-to-bar pull-ups. 
    • Then, the pair must complete 20 strict chest-to-wall handstand push-ups (total). 
      • Only one athlete may work at a time. 
      • Athletes can switch at any time. 
      • There is no minimum or maximum number of reps either athlete must complete. 
    • The second pair starts on rowers with hands off the handles. 
    • As soon as the first male and female pair have completed their strict chest-to-wall handstand push-ups (lockout of the final rep), the second pair can begin rowing. 
      • The rowers must be reset to 0 before starting the row. 
      • The first pair will rest. 
    • The second male and female pair complete 1,000/800 meters of rowing, 30 synchro chest-to-bar pull-ups, and 20 strict chest-to-wall handstand push-ups in the same manner as the first pair. 
    • Then, without rest, the same second male and female pair return to the rower and complete 1,000/800 meters of rowing, and 30 synchro chest-to-bar pull-ups. 
    • The second man and woman finish by completing 10 reps of a 25-foot handstand walk (total).
      • Athletes can switch at any time.
      • Only one athlete may work at a time. 
      • There is no minimum or maximum amount of work either athlete must complete. 
      • The first pair may stage on the rowers with hands off of the handles. 
    • As soon as the second pair have completed their handstand walks (both hands on the ground past the line), the first pair can begin their final row. 
      • The rowers must be reset to 0 before starting each row. 
    • The first pair completes 1,000/800 meters of rowing, 30 synchro chest-to-bar pull-ups, and 10 reps of a 25-foot handstand walk in the same manner as the second pair. 
    • Time stops when the final handstand walk is complete (both hands touch the ground past the line). 
    • The team’s score is the total time taken to complete the workout. 

    NOTES

    • The camera may be repositioned to capture the monitors on the rowers and/or handstand walk. 
    • Pairs may stage on the rower while they wait for the other athletes to complete their work. 
    • The team may use only ONE handstand push-up station and ONE handstand-walk track. 
    • Rowers must be reset to 0 before starting each row. 
    • The working pair may complete the strict chest-to-wall handstand push-ups and handstand walking in any order, and may switch at any time. 
    • For safety, the rowers must be placed at least 5 feet in front of or behind the pull-up bars and 5 feet from the handstand push-up station. 
    • Athletes must face the camera during the chest-to-bar pull-ups. 

    TIEBREAK

    • A tiebreak time will be taken after each set of chest-to-bar pull-ups. 
    • Teams who finish the workout will not enter a tiebreak time. 
    • In the event of a tie on reps completed, the time of the last set of chest-to-bar pull-ups will be entered as the tiebreak time. The team with the faster time will win the tie. 

    SYNCHRO REQUIREMENTS

    • Chest-to-bar pull-ups: Pairs must make contact with the pull-up bar at the same time. 

    EQUIPMENT

    • Two rowers Must be Concept2 or Rogue Echo rowers. No other brands are allowed. 
    • Pull-up bar 
    • Handstand push-up station 
    • 25-foot handstand-walk track 
    • Tape to mark the handstand push-up station and handstand walk 

    Refer to APPENDIX D in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for complete equipment details and video submission standards. 

    PENALTIES

    • Penalties may be applied to the team’s total score if CrossFit HQ conducts a review of your video. CrossFit will review videos that receive significant public downvotes. 
    • The following penalties will be applied to the team’s total score: 
      • False start, touching the handle on the rower before “go” or before the previous pair completes their work = 5-second penalty per instance 
      • Leaving the rower before 1,000/800 meters are reached = 10-second penalty 
      • Chest-to-bar no-rep = 2-second penalty per rep 
      • Handstand push-up no-rep = 2-second penalty 
      • Penalty on handstand walk = 30-second penalty 
    • If a team advances before completing the specified number of reps or meters, their score will stop at the last correctly completed rep. 
      • For example, the team is required to do 5 reps but moves on at Rep 4. The team’s score will be 4, regardless of the total number of repetitions completed after moving forward incorrectly. 
    • Editing a video submission in ANY way (to include adding a timer) may result in a 0 score, invalidation, or further sanction. 

    See Section 4, “Online Semifinals,” in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for video review penalty information.
