Because? Because they have taken away the Regionals but we now have a lot of official competitions all over the world.
As you already know, the season is no longer focused on the Open, Regionals and Games .
Starting this year, you can enjoy official CrossFit competitions almost every month, from September to August.
By removing the Regionals, we have seen the birth of the official events, also known as the Sanctionals. They are world-renowned CrossFit competitions that become official to use the word CrossFit, and be a qualifying route for the final in Madison, in addition to the Open.
Why watch official events live?
Watching a CrossFit event live has 7 advantages:
- Travel : you can take advantage of your vacation to enjoy this cross-fit experience and also discover a new city or country. 2x1 in entertainment.
- The atmosphere : a live event is always more motivating than watching it from your home. The enthusiasm of others infects you and you live a unique and unrepeatable experience.
- It opens your mind : getting out of your box is good. And watching competitions outside your city, region or country is even better. It allows you to see the commonalities and differences of this sport that we are so passionate about.
- You meet people : athletes, brands, friends... The CrossFit Community feeling is maintained in each official competition. You are sure to meet many interesting people and leave with new friends.
- Train in another box : watching CrossFit is one thing. But let's not forget to train. Make the experience more complete by booking a Drop-in at a nearby box or visit that legendary box in that city.
- Fan moment : official competition equals celebrities. I don't think you're going to run into Mat Fraser, Annie Thorisdottir or Sam Briggs in a hotel, on the beach or in the supermarket... Unless it's in Madison, Dubai or Amsterdam, during a competition. In general, the pros follow the game of photos and autographs so enjoy your fan moment to posturing on your social networks.
- Be envious : not only because of your photo with Froning, but also because you are experiencing the Games or any other live competition.
Can't see them live?
Of course you can. From the living room of your house.
Of course, you miss the 7 advantages that we just saw, but it has four that we are going to list now.
- You save : if your finances do not allow you to travel, you can also enjoy the official CrossFit competitions on their website.
- Whenever you want : the advantage of the internet is that you can watch the competitions live or recorded, whenever you feel like it. This way you save early mornings and jet lags from following the Dubai CrossFit Championship .
- Whatever you want : from a computer, mobile phone, tablet... On a break from work, at night having dinner, sunbathing on the beach or at the pool. How nice it is!
- You find out everything : the bad thing about watching the competitions in situ is that sometimes you don't see anything and you find out half of what happened. Online broadcasts allow you to avoid this and see everything, everything and everything, in great detail. In addition, you see the stopwatch, the reps , the leaderboard and the commentators enlighten you at every moment.
As you can see, whether live or from your home, there are all advantages.
Enjoying official competitions and the CrossFit Games has never been easier.
Why continue the competition?
The Games is the equivalent of the League or the Champions for crossfitters.
Following the competition allows you to arrive at the Games prepared to place bets with your colleagues to see who can win this year.
It also helps you meet up with your boxing buddies and live the community experience.
If you like to compete, you will surely learn a lot by watching the professionals in action : movements, strategies, tricks, etc. It is an insatiable source of learning.
Taking it a step further, you have thousands of WODs to do in the box whenever you feel like it.
For all these reasons, from PICSIL , we encourage you to enjoy the Games season, whether live or online.
