The PICSIL team is already back home but our minds are still in Madison, as is our jetlag . Many memories and sensations continue to invade us when it comes to taking stock of our first experience at the CrossFit Games .
PICSIL at the 2018 CrossFit Games
We enjoyed the Berlin and Madrid Regionals so much that we did everything we could to be at the 2018 CrossFit Games in Madison. And we got it!
Our goal was to make our products known in the United States and enjoy the great CrossFit party. The balance of these five days at the Vendor Village has been very positive. We have had a great reception among those present. Some came to our stand because they knew us from social networks, others thanks to recommendations from acquaintances. We even had a visit from Mike Burgener , the creator of the CrossFit Weightlifting program. It was an honor to speak with this eminence and he even did some pull-ups with the Azor Grips . He liked them so much that we gave them to him. On the other hand, we were lucky enough to speak with pit head coaches from the United States who gave us first-hand impressions of our products. They have congratulated us on the quality of the product and its quality/price ratio . Many people were amazed when we explained to them that all PICSIL products have been designed and produced by ourselves, in our facilities in Navarra (Spain). Even our direct competition in street streets in the United States congratulated us for the good work done and were delighted to see us in the American market.
In short, PicSil's experience in the Vendor Village at the CrossFit Games 2018 has been very positive and it is a real pleasure to meet our followers, publicize our products and make friends in this sector.

We already know very well the ability of Americans to make us dream big. At the CrossFit Games, that desire for greatness and to amaze everyone is no less important. The Games are not just the venue where the events take place, the stands or the Vendor Village. The CrossFit Games are much more and impressive.2:09 PDT
Out of nowhere, the team has set up the North Park stadium, which holds 10,000 people and is made up of
- an obstacle course
- a feeding area
- macro stands of sponsors Rogue and Reebok
To this stadium, we have to add the vendors pavilion with a demonstration area (we were there :D). On the other hand, the participating Masters and Teens had their own competition area, the Age Group pavilion. In it, they could warm up, prepare and execute the events scheduled over the five days of competition. And in addition, the public and attendees of the 2018 CrossFit Games had a relaxation area, the Beer Garden, where they could enjoy the games on a giant screen and food and beer bars. Without forgetting the Coliseum, the main stadium of the Games. And to all this, we have to add a special building for the athletes, where they checked in, warmed up, post training, relaxation, etc. All outside the hustle and bustle of the competition. But if we take away a good memory from the 2018 CrossFit Games, it is the closeness of the professional athletes. And we talk about physical closeness and their friendliness. The PicSil team was staying in the same hotel as Sara Sigmundsdottir . We meet Chyna Cho having coffee or Dani Horan at the supermarket. They are very close and very kind people, in addition to being the fittests on Earth . The atmosphere in Madison during the CrossFit Games is brutal. The entire city breathes CrossFit and is dedicated to this macro international fitness event.
Without a doubt, we recommend you live the experience in person since, if you are passionate about CrossFit in your box, experiencing the Games in first person is incredible. The PicSil team takes advantage of this blog article to thank all the people involved in this project and all the event attendees who came to the stand. Without you, we would not have gotten here. Thank you! And now it's time to rest, recharge and start the new season with a lot of surprises. Enjoy the summer!
