The 2026 CrossFit Online Semifinals do not technically start until Thursday afternoon, but that did not stop Ben Smith from doing Workout #4. Smith, who has qualified for individual Online Semifinals, did the snatch and shuttle run workout and posted it on YouTube yesterday.
In Smith’s video you can hear Creed blasting on the gym speakers alongside fellow gym members cheering him on.
Online Semifinal workout #4 is…
For time:
5-4-3-2-1 reps of snatches (225/155 lbs)
5 shuttle runs (50 feet) after each set
Time cap: 10 minutes
Smith didn’t need even half of that time cap as he completed the couplet in just 4:43. Go ahead and watch the video below…
Now since he did the workout prior to the official start of the Online Semifinals his score will not count. No word on whether Smith will formally sign up for the Online Semifinals. As of Wednesday morning he has not registered yet.
