Guilherme Malheiros and Alexis Raptis are the official winners of the 2026 CrossFit Online Semifinals, and the final leaderboard locked in one of the last routes into the 2026 CrossFit Games field headed to San Jose, California, in July. The individual online semifinal ran June 11-15 in virtual format, with athletes completing five workouts, submitting video and then waiting through a review process before the scores were finalized.

Malheiros finished first on 27 points in a men’s race that never opened up. Quinn Robinson was second on 47, Nick Mathew third on 50, Justin Medeiros fourth on 53, Spencer Panchik fifth on 56, Colten Mertens sixth on 59 and Patrick Vellner seventh on 62. Harry Lightfoot, Jan Arnd Finkenberg and Nate Ackermann were left just outside the cutline at 63, 63 and 64.

Raptis matched that kind of control on the women’s side, winning with 37 points ahead of Erica Folo at 51 and Alex Gazan at 53. She has four straight individual Games finishes from 2022 through 2025, and the 2026 Semifinals victory keeps that run alive as she heads toward a fourth consecutive appearance in the open division. She also never really let the field breathe, with her worst finish coming in 14th on the final event.
