The final athletes will be led by four-time champion Mat Fraser and three-time champ Tia-Clair Toomey. Fraser would set a new record for consecutive victories with a win in the finals, while Toomey would extend her own record as the most decorated woman in CrossFit Games history.
Along with Australian Toomey, other women's finalists making the trip to California will include Americans Brooke Wells (2nd in stage one), Haley Adams (3rd), and Kari Pearce (5th), along with two-time champ Katrin Davidsdottir (4th) of Iceland.
