In typical fashion and like every year prior, CrossFit Games veteran Josh Bridges made the Open workouts look easy. His next move, however, might be raising a few eyebrows. In a recent Instagram post, the athlete shared a screenshot of his invite to compete in the Age Group Online Qualifier — and he promptly turned it down.

Thanks for the invite @crossfitgames but not this year! Still gonna have some fun with the young guns! Good Luck to all the masters athletes! Get after it! #payhim #nevermasters

This is so something Bridges would do, and one of the reasons we love him. The masters group will have to wait another year, at least. For now, Bridges is staying put.
