Tia-Clair Toomey vs Sara Sigmundsdottir has fans salivating for Wodapalooza this weekend
- The Australian and Icelandic dynamos are surely going to give fans a glimpse of what to expect at the 2020 CrossFit Games
A field of about 40 competitors, most of whom have significant experience, will be joined by a few up-and-comers looking to make their mark from February 20-23. There are no cuts, or a skewed scoring system, and the field is large enough that every placing in every event matters. There will be a lot going on this weekend, so here are the most important storylines as CrossFit turns its eyes to South Beach.
Three-time defending female champion Tia-Clair Toomey will face off against red-hot Icelandic star Sara Sigmundsdottir, which will be the marquee draw of the competition.
Toomey has earned the right to be the favourite in every competition. Not only did she become the first woman to win three times at the CrossFit Games, she did it in a row and by the largest margin of victory.
Toomey is the defending champion at Wodapalooza and finished first or second in every event last year. She is also the defending champion at the Rogue and the Mayhem Classic, and she’s starting to amass a record similar to four-time defending men’s champion Mat Fraser. It’s becoming difficult to remember the last time she didn’t win.
