Dylan Crema wins Torian Pro, qualifies for 2026 CrossFit Games

Dylan Crema turned a breakthrough at Torian Pro into a bigger stage, winning his division in Brisbane and securing a place at the 2026 CrossFit Games in San Jose. For the Tully adaptive athlete, the result was more than a qualification line. It was the latest proof that his rise has moved far beyond a local success story and into the center of CrossFit’s adaptive field.

Crema claimed the victory at Pat Rafter Arena at TYR Torian Pro, one of Australia’s biggest CrossFit competitions and an official CrossFit Games Semifinal. That mattered because the event sits directly on the sport’s qualifying pathway, and Crema used it to punch his ticket to California, where the 2026 CrossFit Games are scheduled for July 24-26 in San Jose. The adaptive side of the championship will run July 24-26 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, part of a week-long festival that also includes the Masters and Teen divisions.

His profile already showed that he belonged on that level. Crema finished eighth in Men Intellectual at the 2023 CrossFit Games, and he placed second in Men Intellectual Oceania and second in Men Intellectual Australia that same year. This time, the Torian Pro win pushed him back into the Games field with a result that confirms he is not just surviving in the division, but contending in it.

The pathway he cleared is a demanding one. CrossFit’s adaptive season structure says the intellectual division is split into Intellectual without Chromosomal Condition and Intellectual with Chromosomal Condition, with the top 20 athletes from each division advancing from the Open to the online Semifinals and the top 10 moving on to the Adaptive CrossFit Games. CrossFit also says adaptive athletes must have a diagnosed and documented permanent impairment and meet the minimum-impairment criteria for their division. Crema’s victory showed he navigated that system the hard way, by winning when the pressure turned highest.

For his family and coaches, the result carried emotional weight as well as sporting significance. Maria Crema celebrated the achievement as a genuine Torian Pro win and the start of a trip to California, while coach Tracee Tozer framed the result as evidence that labels do not have to define an athlete’s ceiling when the work is there. In a sport that often measures worth in leaderboard places and qualification math, Crema’s latest finish stands out because it combines both: a clear competitive breakthrough and a reminder that the adaptive race at CrossFit’s 20th season is every bit as serious as the headline divisions.
