14 WE.FIT Athletes Advance to the 2026 CrossFit Quarterfinals

We did it. 14 athletes from WE.FIT have qualified for the 2026 CrossFit Quarterfinals — and we couldn’t be prouder.

Three weeks of Friday Night Lights. Three brutal workouts. Hundreds of reps, countless cheers from the sideline, and one shared goal: give everything you’ve got. That’s exactly what our crew did — and 14 of them earned their ticket to the next round.

Our Quarterfinal Athletes

Here are the WE.FIT athletes heading to the Quarterfinals:

• Eva-Maria Lederer
• Ana Posch
• Sasha Ashkenazy — Coach
• Michelle Kobelt
• Xenia Tabea Hefti — Coach
• Patricia Vogel — Coach
• Fernanda Berardi
• David Munz — Coach
• Konrad Kaufmann — 66 years young and still competing at the highest level
• Dennis Onodi
• Tobias Krüesi
• Stefan Dinca — Coach
• André Ritschard — Coach
• Nathan Balleys

Six of our coaches made the cut. That’s the level of coaching you get at WE.FIT — people who don’t just talk the talk, but throw down right beside you.

And then there’s Konrad Kaufmann. At 66 years old, Konrad is living proof that age is just a number. While most people his age are slowing down, Konrad is speeding up — qualifying for the Quarterfinals and showing every generation what commitment looks like. Respect, Konrad. Absolute legend.

How the CrossFit Games Season Works

Not familiar with the competition structure? Here’s how it breaks down:

1. The Open (February–March) The worldwide qualifier. Anyone with a CrossFit affiliate membership can enter. Three workouts are released over three weeks, and athletes complete them at their local box — for us, that’s Friday Night Lights at WE.FIT. The top performers in each region and age division advance.

2. Quarterfinals (April) The next filter. Quarterfinal workouts are released online, and qualified athletes complete them at their box or an approved location. Scores are validated, and the top athletes advance to the Semifinals. This is where our 14 athletes are headed now.

3. Semifinals (May–June) Live, in-person competitions across several global locations. The best of each region battle head-to-head for a spot at the CrossFit Games.

4. The CrossFit Games (August) The final stage. The fittest athletes on earth compete in Madison, Wisconsin, across a series of unknown events to crown the Fittest on Earth.

What Comes Next

Our Quarterfinal athletes will receive their workouts in April and compete for a shot at the Semifinals. We’ll be right there cheering them on — just like every Friday Night Light.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just getting started, this is the community that lifts you up. Literally.

Stay hungry. Stay happy. Stay humble.
