As the winners pile up we’ll truly see just how many athletes will be competing at the Official 2019 CrossFit Games in Madison Wisconsin come August. This could possibly be the most competitive year yet as winners from the new sanctioned events and the Open will have the chance to earn an invitation to the CrossFit finals which will take place July 31-August 4 2019
