CrossFit HQ Reveals Four More Sanctional Events For 2020

CrossFit announced four additional sanctionals which will take place in Mainz, Germany; Hurghada, Egypt; Asbury Park, New Jersey; and Gol, Norway. Now, these competitions are licensed by CrossFit and athletes can earn an invite by winning one of them.

So, one male and female champion, plus the winning team from each sanctioned will earn a ticket to the CrossFit Games next year in Madison, Wisconsin. Now, there are already six sanctioned events scheduled in 2020 but now there’s ten in total after this latest announcement.
