The Open - The New Site and Programming

The CrossFit Games Open begins on March 15. With athletes from all over their world submitting their results and videos, we needed a new site to keep track of the competition. The new Open site will have some cool new features such as showing participants their up-to-date position in the world and in their region. The ranking will update in real-time as results pour in.
Another new feature is that athletes will be able to create side-to-side comparisons with any other Open athlete. For example, you'll be able to find out how you compare with Mikko Salo across the Open workouts.

With regards to programming, the Open workouts will be very manageable. They will draw mostly from standard CrossFit movements like thrusters, cleans, pull-ups, and push-ups. At only one workout a week, any athlete training for the Games in will be able to easily handle the volume of work.

Affiliates will be able to turn hosted Open workouts into community events. Upon completing a week's Open workout, athletes will be able to relax and drink some beers with their fellow CrossFitters.

And it all starts in just three weeks.


Bring on the unknown
