Competitions

Crossfit Games 2020 | Let’s see what’s new!

Here we are! Like every year it’s time for the Reebok Crossfit Games. The event this year will take place in two stages as part of a hybrid model.

The first stage is a 2-day online qualification (athletes compete remotely in their home countries) to determine the first 5 men and 5 women who will compete in the second stage.

The second stage (the finals), will be a live competition in Aromas, California, in the legendary Ranch of Dave Castro, where they will be crowned the man and the woman in shape on earth who can boast the title of “The Fittest on earth”.

There will be no real live streaming of the event as qualifying workouts will be recorded and sent to Crossfit HQ for review.

Crossfit HQ will do a live show in the studio when the results of all athletes arrive.
