Crossfit is a sport designed to separate the fittest in the world from all other athletes. In order to be a top competitor in the official Crossfit games, athletes must train year round in every aspect of the sport, waiting until the day before each event for each individual course to be announced.

The objective of Crossfit itself is to master training across all platforms of sport, focusing on functional fitness, heavy weight lifting and agility. The games change every year, adding to the mystery and mastery of the sport while adding a challenging edge for all competitors.

The 2020 Crossfit games will be held and televised July 29th - August 2nd in Madison, Wisconsin. Tickets go on sale January 13th! Anyone who is a fan of the Olympics should tune in and watch these superhero's compete!
