This data below shows how many individual Crossfit Games athletes from 2015-2017 were “one-and-done” athletes, meaning they only competed at the Games once as an individual.
If the athlete has competed at the Crossfit Games for multiple years, but only once as an individual then they were included in this list.
For example: Sam Dancer, Tasia Percevecz, and Jamie Hagiya have all competed both as an individual and as part of a team, but since they have only competed as an individual once they were all included in this list.
After looking at how many individual athletes from the 2017 Games did not qualify for 2018, we thought it would be interesting to see just how many athletes from previous years could never make it back as well.
*2018 Crossfit Games rookies were not included as this was their first year competing.*
At the bottom we will also look at where these competitors ranked in relation to the rest of the field.
