    QUICK START

    • Athletes start facing the barbell.
    • At “go,” pick up the bar and complete 7 squat snatches.
      • The bar must remain at least 5 feet from the rope at all times.
      • Stepping on the 5-foot line is a no-rep.
    • Then, move to the rope and complete 3 rope climbs.
      • If the barbell is closer than 5 feet to the rope, the rope climbs will not count.
    • Continue in this manner until you have completed 5 rounds.
    • Time stops when the final rope climb is completed (the touch at the top).
    • Your score is the total time taken to complete the workout.

    NOTES

    • Athletes CANNOT receive assistance with their barbell or rope at any time.
    • For safety, the rope must be placed at least 5 feet from the barbell.
    • Athletes must face the camera during the snatches.

    TIEBREAK

    • A tiebreak time will be taken after each round. The LAST completed round will be your tiebreak time.
    • Athletes who complete the workout will not enter a tiebreak time.
    • In the event of a tie on reps completed, your last completed round will be your tiebreak time.

    EQUIPMENT

    • Barbell
      • Men are required to use a barbell with a minimum 28-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 45-lb/20-kg barbell or a Rogue C70/C70s barbell).
      • Women are required to use a barbell with a minimum 25-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 35-lb/15-kg barbell or a Rogue C68/C68s barbell).
      • Training barbells or other specialty barbells are not allowed.
    • Bumper plates
      • Maximum of 18 inches (45 centimeters) diameter.
    • Collars
    • Climbing rope

    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 athlete’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 athlete’s total score:
      • False start: moving to touch the barbell before “go” = 5-second penalty
      • No-rep on a squat snatch = 5-second penalty
      • No-rep on a rope climb, to include assistance steadying the rope = 10-second penalty
      • Assistance with the barbell = 5-second penalty for each instance
    • If an athlete advances before completing the specified number of reps or meters/cals, their score will stop at the last correctly completed rep.
      • Example: The athlete is required to do 10 reps, but moves on at Rep 7. The athlete’s score will be 7, regardless of the total number of repetitions completed after moving forward incorrectly.
    • Editing a video submission in ANY way (to include adding a clock) 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.
