2023 CrossFit Games Olympic Total Time Format
Athletes will have three competition attempts to establish heaviest Snatch. Time cap: 20 seconds per lift. Athletes may have a coach accompany them into their station to adjust weights and the weight flipboard.

Snatch event:

Each athlete will have a 5:00 warm up session before the workout begins in their station. At the start of the event, an interval clock will be set for 18 rounds of :20 seconds. Starting with athlete in station #1 each athlete will have :20 seconds to complete 1 snatch (no 2nd lifts allowed). Starting with station #1 the athlete has :20 seconds to complete their lift, the next :20 second interval starts immediately for station #2 and so on until each athlete has completed 3 :20 second intervals. 

Snatch Standards:

Each rep starts with the bar on the floor, the athlete displaying their attempted weight on a flipboard in their station. The bar must travel from the ground to overhead in one smooth movement into any variation of the power, squat, or split Snatch. The hang snatch is NOT permitted. The athlete must show control of the bar, locked out overhead, feet together, and inside their taped space until your judge gives a “Down” command. If a knee comes in contact with the floor, or a foot touches the tape the rep will be deemed a “no-lift”.

Clean & Jerk event:

Following the completion of the last :20 second interval of Event 1, a 5:00 clock will count down to give athletes time to warm up for the Clean & Jerk. Event 2 begins at the completion of the 5:00 warm up and follows the same format at Event 1. 

Clean & Jerk Standards:

Each rep starts with the bar on the floor, the athlete displaying their attempted weight on a whiteboard/scoreboard in their station. In the clean portion of the lift; the bar must travel in one motion from the floor to the shoulder, hang cleans are NOT permitted. Power, squat, and split cleans are permitted. If the elbow makes contact with the knee during the clean, the lift will be deemed a “no-lift”. In the Jerk portion of the lift; the bar must travel from the shoulders to locked out overhead, any style of overhead lift is acceptable (press, push press, or jerk any style). The athlete must show control of the bar, locked out overhead, feet together, and inside their taped space until your judge gives a “Down” command. If a knee comes in contact with the floor, or a foot touches the tape the rep will be deemed a “no-lift”.

Scoring:

Athletes' heaviest completed lift from Event 1 will be added to the heaviest lift from Event 2. We will be utilising the Sinclair Score Calculator and rank athletes by their “Sinclair Score”. The Sinclair Calculator is a tool used in the sport of weightlifting to compare the performances of athletes of different body weights and determine a hypothetical "Sinclair Total." This Total is an adjusted measure of an athlete's performance, considering their body weight and the coefficient, and it provides a way to assess how an athlete's performance would theoretically compare to others if they were all in the same weight class. This allows for a fair comparison of athletes and helps identify the most outstanding lifters regardless of their body weight, fostering a fair and competitive environment in the sport. Each athlete will weigh in 2 hours before their heat time in the attire they plan to use for the day (without shoes).
