Each year, the fittest man and woman is crowned in one of the biggest fitness sports events in the world. Mat Fraser won his fourth Games title in 2019 tying the all-time record with Rich Froning Jr., while Tia-Claire Toomey was victorious for a third consecutive year.
Well, CrossFit officially announced the date of the 2020 Games which will take place in Madison Wisconsin as it does every year. This announcement came on the same day that we learned CrossFit won a court battle with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
But the Games will run from Wednesday, July 29th, to August 2 which is similar to previous years, although it’s still important to have this information.
