Adaptive Divisions
Given that there are eight Adaptive Divisions in the CrossFit Open, each will have its own variations and movement standards.
These respective divisions are Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Multi-Extremity, Vision, Short Stature, Seated Athletes (With Hip Function), Seated Athletes (Without Hip Function), and Intellectual. As is the case with Individual and Age Groups, each division has a Women’s and Men’s category.
The 2023 CrossFit Open will continue during the final week of February 2023, heading into the first week of the month of March.
