				NO BULL CrossFit Games Open 2021 // THE RECAP
			

								


				

			




It’s done ! Once again. The 2021 Open is history !  What a great three weeks. 


81 members of CrossFit Basel/Downtown participated, making CrossFit Basel the box with the second most registrations in the whole German-speaking area of Europe (including Germany and Austria). This is awesome !


The circumstances were definitely special, but we are extremely satisfied with how we managed to stage this great event together. As announced in advance, many went above and beyond, did double-unders, wall-walks, toes-to-bar, kipping pull-ups or chest-to-bar pull-ups for the first time, or achieved feats you didn’t think you could do. The Power of Community !




The Open 2021 ended with not one (!) but two (!) workouts: 21.3 and 21.4. These workouts combined our gymnastic and olympic weightlifting skills and pushed us to the limits one last time ! 


21.3 


For total time:


15 front squats
30 toes-to-bars
15 thrusters
Then, rest 1 minute before continuing with:
15 front squats
30 chest-to-bar pull-ups
15 thrusters
Then, rest 1 minute before continuing with:
15 front squats 
30 bar muscle-ups
15 thrusters 


Workout 21.4 begins immediately upon completing or reaching the time cap for 21.3.   95 lb. for the front squats and thrusters. Time cap: 15 min.


21.4


Complete the following complex for max load:


1 deadlift
1 clean
1 hang clean
1 jerk


Time begins immediately following the completion of 21.3. Time cap: 7 min.


Well done to all and congratulations on your well-deserved success ! As expected, you showed up at each event, fight through the pain and supported each other. With this special outdoor open edition, we showed that we are able to adapt and to grow stronger together in any kind of situation. 




Now some numbers and final performance analysis:


For the 21.3 and 21.4


In the women category:
