CrossFit Games adds Mid-Atlantic Challenge, Fittest in Cape Town, French Throwdown, Brazil Championship as sanctioned events
Regionals replaced with organisers to announce 10 more events in coming weeks, giving winners direct path to the 2019 CrossFit Games
CrossFit Inc. has announced four more sanctioned events as organisers continue their overhaul of the qualification process for the 2019 CrossFit Games.
The French Throwdown, Fittest in Cape Town, Brazil Championship and Mid-Atlantic Challenge have all gained sanctioned event status, joining the Dubai Championship and the Granite Games.
Male, female and team winners will earn a spot at next summer’s CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, with the traditional “Regionals” system of qualification ditched in favour of 16 sanctioned events spread over the world during the first half of 2019.
Additional sanctioned events, all independently run by members of the CrossFit community, will be announced in the coming weeks, including another in South America.
“This development of the CrossFit Games season reflects the enormous growth of CrossFit affiliates around the world,” a statement read.
