The CrossFit Games starts today in Madison and you can watch it live. The event returns in full force after a curtailed field last year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Tia-Clair Toomey is the one to beat in the women’s event, as she goes for her fifth straight “Fittest on Earth” title. A number of men could claim their first title after Mat Fraser’s retirement. The five-time champion was a stand-out but his absence leaves a space to be filled.

The CrossFit Games keep the workouts a secret until the last minute, so the athletes cannot prepare specifically. The first event has been announced as a long swim and paddle, but the others are yet to be revealed.

You can watch all the action unfold here from 9:25pm Hong Kong Time/8:25am Wisconsin.
