Watch the 2020 CrossFit Games. Competition Coverage. “Finding out that we managed to pull off the first-place win and were going to the Games was a pretty awesome feeling.”. The CrossFit Fraser Valley Centaurs are headed back to Carson, California, for its third consecutive year. The 2020 CrossFit Games have been split into two stages following the global pandemic. The first stage, which only includes 30 individual male and female competitors, will be held online. Athletes qualified to compete in this stage are those who finished within the Top 20 worldwide in the Open and the 10 Sanctional winners of the season (the remaining 18 were cancelled).
This year’s CrossFit Games will shift locations, moving from the familiar StubHub Center in California to the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The competition gets rolling on August3rd, when 2017 CrossFit Open winners SaraSigmundsdottir and Mat Fraser hope to compete for first place.
Fraser capped an awesome 2016 season in CrossFit competition with a win in the Individual competition, while Sigmundsdottir will enter the 2017 event searching for her first win.
Rich Froning Jr. had been the face of the men’s competition thanks to four straight titles from 2011 to 2014, but opted to compete in the team event the last two years. That choice proved to bebeneficial, as the 29-year old CrossFit phenom helped his team take home back-to-back titles.
Froning has put being a father, husband and part of a winning team ahead of all else and doesn’t look like a safe bet to return to the individual race. That understandably puts Fraser in thedriver’s seat to repeat as CrossFit champion for the men’s division, but some top betting sites wonder if he’ll actually win.
For the past two weeks, much of the nation has mobilized to protest the systemic racism and police brutality that has victimized black communities for decades. And over the course of those two weeks, sports figures have come under fire for their own apparent racism.
Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle was placed on administrative leave after allegations of racism. Bills rookie quarterback Jake Fromm apologized for leaked text messages about “elite white people” owning guns. And Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was criticized for wearing a “Football Matters” shirt while Black Lives Matter rallies were being held nationwide.
You can add CrossFit to that list.
CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman sparked outrage this weekend when the 63-year-old founder of the branded workout program posted a racist tweet mocking the murder of George Floyd and the current coronavirus pandemic. In response to a tweet from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which called racism a public health issue, Glassman replied, “It’s FLOYD-19.”
The tweet immediately drew a harsh reaction throughout the CrossFit community with sponsor, Reebok, announcing that the brand would end its partnership with CrossFit in 2020 once their contract expires. Reebok said via Business Insider:

“Recently, we have been in discussions regarding a new agreement, however, in light of recent events, we have made the decision to end our partnership with CrossFit HQ. We will fulfill our remaining contractual obligations in 2020. We owe this to the CrossFit Games competitors, fans and the community.”

May other affiliate gyms, which pay to use the “CrossFit” name, announced that they would be ending their affiliations with the CrossFit brand.
Glassman eventually doubled down on the tweet.
