Seher Kaya (Individual Women) and Arthur Semenov (Individual Men) are the victors of the 2023 Asia CrossFit Semifinal. According to her page on the CrossFit website, the 2023 iteration of the CrossFit Games this early August in Madison, WI will be Kaya’s second career appearance at the sport’s flagship contest. The athlete finished in 29th place in 2022. Meanwhile, Semenov will try to improve upon his own 2022 Games debut, where he didn’t make the final cut and, as such, didn’t earn an official placing.
