The 25.2 Workout is set to be revealed in a ceremony-like fashion and will be followed up with a duel between two elite athletes who will give everyone an insight into how it should be performed.
2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.2 Announcement
The livestream for the Workout 25.2 announcement of the 2025 CrossFit Open will be available on the CrossFit Games website and YouTube channel.
The second week of the 2025 CrossFit Open will open up with the announcement of Workout 25.2 on Thursday, March 7th, in Peoria, Arizona. The exact time of the reveal is set to be 12 p.m. PT, with the livestream consisting of the announcement, athlete introduction, and the duel.
Those who are competing in the duel will have to video themselves performing the workout and submit the tape in an online format. The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. PT on March 10th. The performances will then be reviewed, with the results being revealed a few days later.
The Duel
The 2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.2 announcement will feature one duel consisting of two world-class female athletes. Specifically, Emily Rolfe and Sydney Wells will be the first ones to perform the workout, battling it out live in a head-to-head format. Moreover, this makes the 25.2 Workout announcement even more interesting, as the athletes often show the most efficient way to perform the task.
Emily Rolfe is a 5x CrossFit Games competitor, best known for incredible performances in certain events. She is arguably in the best shape of her career at the moment, as she is coming off her best finish at the Games so far, having placed third in 2024. Throughout her other appearances at the Games, Emily nearly always placed in the top half of the competitors, excluding the 2022 season, where she had to get surgery after the first event. That did not stop her, as she went on to have the best two seasons of her career afterwards.
Sydney Wells is best recognized for her incredible season in 2023, when she managed to qualify to the CrossFit Games for the first time in her career. She did not disappoint, posting some very competitive results across certain events. This remains her only appearance at the most prestigious CrossFit competition, but Sydney is hungry to return to the stage this year. So, she will look to perform well in the 2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.2.

However, the results for Workout 25.2 will depend on the style of the exercises, all of which will be revealed in the livestream. Moreover, the Open consists of three workouts, meaning that the final one will be revealed exactly one week after Workout 25.2.
Once the 2025 CrossFit Open fully concludes, the top athletes will advance to the 2025 CrossFit Semifinals. The Semifinals will be held both in person and in a virtual format, making the competition more inclusive than ever, as athletes from all around the world will have a chance to showcase their fitness.
