This evening on The Girls Unfiltered podcast, Alexis Raptis spoke about the ankle injury she suffered during Event 2 of the CrossFit Games. Raptis said that an MRI indicated that it was a severe bone bruise and that she is still in significant pain.
So much so that she told those watching that she will not be competing at the 2026 Rogue Invitational next month. Raptis had not yet even told Rogue that she was going to withdraw yet.
**SURPRISE**
With the imminent backfill coming, all eyes are now on Kyra Milligan. She finished 4th in the online qualifier and is the likely pick to fill in for Raptis. That is, if Rogue does the same with Vellner’s injury and pick the next athlete from the online qualifer – Bayley Martin.
Of course, it’s Rogue and it’s an Invitational…so they can do what they want. But my money is on Kyra heading out to Scotland.
The 2026 Rogue Invitational is October 23-25 at P&J Live in Aberdeen, Scotland.
