French Throwdown Says Luka Đukić Workout 3 Leak Incomplete, Teases Reveal

Luka Đukić posted what he alleged was a leaked French Throwdown qualifier workout, sparking a public back-and-forth that organizers addressed and that leaves athletes parsing partial information ahead of the official release.

French Throwdown responded on its Instagram account with the line “what you’ve seen is only part of the story” and teased the official workout, positioning that post as the organizers’ authoritative comment. At the same time an Instagram capture circulated with the exact text “WORKOUT 3 LEAKED FAKE OR ? AMRAP 12' 12T2B T2D 8 Burpee Shuttle ... FRENCH THROWDOWN RESPONDS To ALLEGED WORKOUT 3 LEAK. mad.diison's,” which frames the alleged leak as Workout 3.

Coverage from The Barbell Spin presents a related but different thread. The Barbell Spin ran a piece titled “Luka Đukić Claims Workout 1 of French Throwdown Qualifier was Leaked,” reporting that Đukić posted a screenshot of a direct message that contained a “rumour.” That DM was “allegedly sent on Friday, January 23.” The rumoured Workout 1 in the DM reads verbatim: “16-minute AMRAP of: 3 Ring Muscle-Ups 8 Thrusters (60 kg) 17 Calorie Row.” The French Throwdown’s actual published Workout 1 was listed as “15-minute AMRAP of: 3 Ring Muscle-Ups 8 Thrusters (50/35 kg) 17 Calorie Row.” The Barbell Spin observed the rumour “wasn’t exactly right, it was definitely close enough.”

The French Throwdown had “just announced its first two workouts via a live announcement face-off” featuring Jelle Hoste, Victor Hoffer, Lucy McGonigle and Linda Keesman when the leak conversation unfolded, adding timing pressure for athletes trying to plan attempts. Đukić’s public reaction, as reported by The Barbell Spin, included that he “calls the French Throwdown, Mayhem Athlete and the CrossFit Games a joke” and he “compares this to how some athletes were doing ‘Chad’ to the same standard ahead of the 2024 CrossFit Games.”

The immediate consequence for competitors is practical: warm-up plans, pacing strategies and gear selection hinge on confirmed workout formats and loads. The Instagram capture gives a partial string for a 12-minute AMRAP with T2B and burpee shuttle elements, while the rumoured and actual Workout 1 show how small differences in time and loading alter approach for ring muscle-ups and thrusters. With conflicting reports about whether the shared material concerned Workout 3 or Workout 1, verify screenshots, timestamps and official posts before changing programming.

Expect French Throwdown to publish the full official workouts in its teased reveal. For now, keep training plans flexible, confirm any leaked text against the official announcement, and save assumptions about pacing until organizers post the complete programming.
