Compare to 170209.
Scaling:
The beginner should practice time in the inversion, either in a handstand, or holding an object overhead. Athletes of all levels should first develop the strength in a strict handstand push-up before performing a kipping handstand push-up.
Beginner Option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
3 push presses
3 cleans
6 push presses
3 cleans
9 push presses
3 cleans
12 push presses

18 push presses

21 push presses
Etc., adding 3 reps to the push press each round, and 3 reps to the clean every 3 rounds.
If you have a sled or something else to push, use it, and try to mimic the lengths and difficulty as seen by the Games athletes.
Post time and sled substitution to comments.
Scaling:
No one will have an Alpaca sled, but anyone can find something to push. Pick kettlebells that allow you to complete at least 5 reps of the clean and jerks when fresh. Try a more difficult version of rope climbs than you would normally do.
Intermediate Option:
For time:
Sled push
2 rope climbs
20 kettlebell clean and jerks

Pick a load that is heavy, but not your max. You should be able to complete multiple jerks per round.
Post load and number of reps completed each round to comments.
Scaling:
The loads used by Games athletes are too heavy for most athletes. Pick a load that is heavy, but doable. If needed, reduce the run distances so you have 30-45 seconds each round to complete as many reps as possible of the jerk. Beginners should go lighter and focus on sound mechanics.

Run 200 m
10 jerks
Run 400 m

Post choice of workout and time to comments.
Scaling:
If choosing Test 1, modify the movements and reduce the dumbbell load to something you can perform quickly and unbroken. This workout is a sprint, and should be scaled to allow for a quick, all-out effort.
If choosing Test 2, be careful of the high volume of each exercise, especially with the GHD. Athletes without exposure to the GHD should drastically reduce the volume. Overall this workout is fairly long, so choose modifications that are still challenging, and plan on having to break each exercise multiple sets.
Intermediate Option:
3 rounds of:
10 kipping handstand push-ups
10 dumbbell hang power cleans
30 double-unders
