Luka Đukić sits in first place on the Dubai Fitness Championship Online Qualifier leaderboard. For Đukić it is his first time back to competition following the death of his brother, Lazar, at the CrossFit Games.
The online qualifier featured four workouts that athletes could complete over the course of three weeks, from September 19 through October 10. The top 30 men and women from the online qualifier are then invited to compete at the in-person Dubai Fitness Championship Finals on December 6-8, 2024.
The submission window for the online qualifier closed today and Đukić leads all athletes on the leaderboard, pending video review. In total, 108 men and 71 women submitted at least one score for the qualifier.
Đukić led the men’s featuring several CrossFit Games veterans including Giorgos Karavis, Moritz Fiebig, Bronislaw Olenkowicz, Michal Wesolowski, Calum Clements, Jake Douglas and Morteza Sedaghat (Sedaghat has qualified but has not competed at the Games due to visa issues). The top 30 is also made up numerous individual Semifinal athletes and CrossFit Games team athletes.
On the women’s side, Jamie Simmonds edged out Andrea Solberg by one point to take first place. Elena Carratala Sanahuja, Gabi Migala and Anikha Greer rounded out the top 5.
Just like the men, the women’s field will be full of previous CrossFit Games veterans, both individual and team, along with a slate full of Semifinal-level athletes. One of the most storied women of the sport, Kristin Holte, sits in 13th place overall.
Of course, the leaderboard is not yet finalized and there could be some changes following video review. With that, here are the current top 30 men and women…
