Yesterday we shared the news that KT CrossFit Kolesnikov Team would not be able to compete at the the 2024 CrossFit Games as one of their team members, Andrei Fedotov, was unable to secure his visa. At the time, it was unclear whether CrossFit would invite the second place team in Asia, CrossFit Marvel Black Mayhem, to backfill their spot.
Last night, however, Carlos Albaladejo confirmed that CrossFit has invited CrossFit Marvel Black Mayhem to compete at the Games this season. Albaladejo, the team captain, received the email Tuesday morning with the link to register his team for the CrossFit Games.
The backfill invite means that CrossFit Marvel Mayhem Black will make its second consecutive appearance at the CrossFit Games. Last year, the team finished second (also behind KT CrossFit Kolesnikov Team) in the Asia Semifinal to qualify and then finished 39th in Madison.
All four members of the team are returning from last year. Albaladejo is joined by Min Sun Kim, Kim Solbi and Hwang Bityeoul. Choi Mi-Jung is the team’s alternate.
