Now you know. There is one month left until the Open 2020 and with them the new CrossFit Games season begins with its new classification modalities and its new calendar.
In the previous post , we have already told you about the Open Games and the dates of the events that will be announced as always live worldwide.
After finishing the Open Games , there is no stoppage in the competition as the CrossFit Sanctionals begin, the international competitions officially endorsed by the entity and that allow their individual winners and teams to earn a place in the final in Madison.
From November to July, you can enjoy 28 official events , spread across 21 countries on six continents. And as always, in August, the CrossFit Games will take place and we will learn about the Fittest on Earth 2020.
CrossFit Sanctionals 2020 Calendar
As we have seen, we are going to have CrossFit all year round, both to watch online, live, and if you dare to do the qualifiers. You already know that this fitness sport is for everyone, so the excuse that the best in the world go to the Sanctionals to escape the classification WODs is not valid.
