This is the annual games held to decide ‘the fittest person on Earth.” The inaugural event took place in 2007 and since then, every summer, we have had CrossFit games. At the games, the athletes are asked to complete workouts about which they have no prior knowledge. The briefing is given just hours before the start of the event. These events do not occur in any CrossFit regimen and stay as surprise elements. In the past few editions, we saw events such as a softball throw and a rough-water swim. The idea is to have the athletes be ready for anything. Thus, the venue of the games becomes the place to decide the “Fittest Person on Earth.”
Online formatting since 2011 has allowed participation of people from all over the world. The “CrossFit Open” is the event where you have a new workout each week. If one wishes to take part, one should complete the workout, videotape the action and give the scores obtained online. You may have validation from a CrossFit affiliate, instead of giving the videotape, if you so desire.
The best athletes from each region advance to the next round of the CrossFit Opens until they make it to the last round. This will take two months to complete. You have separate groups such as per gender, teenagers, and masters.
