Wodapalooza reveals online qualifier workout early

Wodapalooza has taken a notable step by making one of its qualifier workouts public earlier than planned. J.R. Howell, coach and well-known CrossFit figure, revealed the workout alongside host JY in a special podcast episode of The Barbell Spin.

The official release of the WZA Online Qualifier workouts was scheduled for Thursday, but thanks to this early reveal, fans were able to get the details a day ahead of time. Wodapalooza is one of the larger CrossFit-sanctioned events and attracts participants from around the world every year, including from the Netherlands.

In addition to the qualifier workout, JY also discussed the 2027 CrossFit Games Mountain, the leaderboard that determines which athletes qualify for the CrossFit Games. According to the initial analysis, some surprising names appear on the mountain, with athletes who had previously dropped off the list now making a return.

The full qualifier workouts for Wodapalooza will be officially announced on Thursday.
