CrossFit Games 2018 crit time trial results for individual event 1 heats in Madison, Wisconsin
All the qualifying times from Tuesday as Adrian Mundwiler and Laura Horvath take first place for the opening criterium bike race in Madison
The 2018 CrossFit Games got under way on Tuesday with all male and female athletes jumping on their Trek road bikes to take part in a time trial ahead of Individual Event 1.
The time trial determined the initial places for Wednesday’s opening IE1 criterium bike race, where the athletes will perform 10 laps around a 1,200-metre closed circuit that has been set up at the Alliant Energy Centre in Madison, Wisconsin.
Adrian Mundwiler was first in the men’s field, completing one 1,200m lap in one minute, 39.17 seconds, ahead of Rasmus Anderson (1:42.26) and Mat Fraser (1:42.94).
Russian qualifier Roman Khrennikov was unable to compete because of visa issues, meaning the field was reduced to 39 for the men, all of whom finished within 19 seconds of each other.
Laura Horvath was first among the 40 women in 1:46.74, followed by two-time champion Katrin Davidsdottir (1:49.00) – who is looking to regain her crown after missing out in 2017 – and Tennil Beuerlein (1:49.52). See the full results for all athletes below.
Athletes will race on Wednesday at the same time in two heats – one for the men, one for the women – separated into eight rows of five for a rolling start behind a pace bike.
