Games Event Structure
According to CrossFit’s official release and recent previews, there will be 10 total individual-scored events and 8 team events, with back-to-back events integrated into the competition schedule to test recovery strategies.
Why These Events Matter
- Variety is vital: Athletes face endurance, gymnastics, strength, and mixed modal tests.
- Technical precision returns: Cross‑overs, handstand walks, and pegboard work reward gymnasts and agility.
- Strength vs. engine: Events like the back‑squat and grip trip separate specialists from rounders.
- Strategy and pacing are king: Especially with mixed double‑header formats and unpredictable work sequencing.
