The 2023 CrossFit Games are nearly here, as the competition took place from August 1-6, in Madison, Wisconsin. So, this six-day competition featured some of the most difficult workouts, carefully designed to test the strength, speed, endurance, and every other aspect of physical readiness of all competitors. The Games consisted of 12 workouts in total for the individuals and 11 for the teams.
The workouts featured in the 2023 CrossFit Games will feature combinations from multiple sports, including gymnastics, athletics, swimming, and much more. Still, CrossFit often introduces brand new movements that are unique to the sport, which will very likely be the case this year as well..
