- Age Groups: The top 2% of each age category (or a minimum of 200 athletes) will advance to the semi-finals, with possible qualification for the legendary Masters and Teenagers events.

- Adaptive: No major changes for adaptive athletes, who will continue to compete in the Adaptive Open and subsequent stages organized by WheelWOD.

The Community Cup: A New Format for All

From June 9 to 15, 2025, the Community Cup will make its debut. This online competition, based on affiliates, offers a unique opportunity for athletes to compete with peers of the same level, ranging from Rookie to Pro.
