Torian Pro becomes key stop in 2026 CrossFit Semifinals race
Nine Games berths are in play in Brisbane as the 2026 TYR Torian Pro packs 592 athletes, six divisions and Justin Medeiros into a three-day Semifinal.
Brisbane’s TYR Torian Pro is doing more than filling a broadcast window. With three men’s, three women’s and three team tickets to the CrossFit Games on the line, the three-day meet at Pat Rafter Arena has become one of the sharpest cuts in the 2026 Semifinals race, with Justin Medeiros among the marquee men chasing a berth.
The event opened Friday, May 22, and runs through Sunday, May 24, inside the Queensland Tennis Centre’s 5,500-seat Pat Rafter Arena. CrossFit lists the Torian Pro as an official Semifinal, the final qualifying stage before the CrossFit Games, which are scheduled for July 24-26. That puts Brisbane in a critical spot on the calendar, and the time difference means much of the action lands in a late-night window for North American viewers.
Torian’s scale underscores why it has outgrown a simple regional label. The 2026 schedule is built around six divisions, three arenas and 592 athletes, with Pro Individuals, Pro Teams, Pro Individual Masters, Pro Individual Teens, Pro Pairs and Adaptive all part of the weekend. Friday opened competition across Teams, Individuals, Adaptive, Masters and Teens, while the official live broadcast stretches across Pro Individual events, Pro Team events, a Pro Adaptive event and the Pro Pairs Hot Final.
The qualification structure makes the weekend even more consequential. Pro Individuals, Pro Individual Masters and Pro Individual Teens had seven days after Quarterfinals to submit scores into the Torian Pro Qualifier leaderboard. The top 30 teams on the CrossFit Games Oceania Open leaderboard and the top 10 teams on the Worldwide Open leaderboard were invited directly. Pro Pairs required no qualification and accepted 40 male pairs and 40 female pairs on a first-come, first-served basis. Expanded Masters age groups now include 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70-plus, and Teams and Individual Masters now qualify live and in person to the CrossFit Games.
Torian’s rise has been steady. The meet became a CrossFit Semifinal in 2021 and held that status through 2024, and the move to Pat Rafter Arena gave it a bigger stage in Brisbane. With Games spots, global broadcast reach and a field that stretches well beyond Australia, the Torian Pro has become a decisive checkpoint in the sport’s road to July.
