Frequently asked questions
Do men and women get the same prize money in CrossFit?

None at any place, since one ladder pays both fields. Across the 11 years we hold, the men were paid £6,622,749 and the women £6,627,934. The difference is the places in the men's field we hold no payment for, in 2023 and 2024.
