The 2026 Rebel Renegade Games hosted a CrossFit Semifinal this weekend. The top male, female and team would advance to the 2026 CrossFit Games. On the individual side, an American (Hannah Black) and a New Zealander (Ben Fowler) won their divisions, respectively.
On the teams side, a team from Africa (CrossFit Uncontained II RELENTLESS) earned their ticket to the CrossFit Games. However, it didn’t happen without controversy.
The 2nd place team, AR-1 CrossFit, said that they judging was inconsistent on the final event and could have cost them the ability to qualify for the Games. The Argentinian team entered the final event down nine points to CrossFit Uncontained II RELENTLESS.Â
However, during the synchro muscle-up portion they claim the judge didn’t allow them to complete the reps unbroken. The synchro muscle-ups had one athlete on the rings while two were doing bar muscle-ups. The fourth athlete was resting. The judge for AR-1 CrossFit said the athlete resting had to complete at least one rep.
However, AR-1 contends that was contradictory to the briefing prior to the event and after appealing they claim the Rebel Renegade Games organizers admitted the judge made a mistake. AR-1 CrossFit’s score was adjusted 30 seconds following an appeal, but it was not enough to gain the points needed to move into first place overall.
Since then, members of AR-1 CrossFit issued a statement. You can watch that below…
