Before the 2022 Granite Games, Chandler Smith said he felt he was having one of his best seasons. But the weekend that would determine if he would attend his fourth CrossFit Games did not go as planned. After experiencing an asthma attack, Smith was unable to perform at his max effort. He didn’t quit - he pushed through and finished all the events, but missed out on a ticket to the Games by five spots.
“The reality is, for me to continue doing my job, I have to figure out how to be Chandler Smith: CrossFit Games athlete again,” he said.
Smith returned to the drawing board, spending the last year training for his next shot at qualifying. At the 2023 North America West Semifinal, Smith showcased his grit and determination, securing a sixth-place finish and a ticket to Madison.
Chandler Smith: CrossFit Games athlete has returned. Watch him compete starting this Thursday, Aug. 3.
