The 2019 competitive just took an interesting turn. CrossFit announced on Facebook that they will be selecting four additional athletes to invite to the Games, seemingly independent of how they perform during the Open or the sanctioned events. Here’s the full post.

We don’t have any other details at this point, leaving many of us wondering what “at-large athletes” even means. If these athletes don’t need to qualify through the Open or one of the sanctioned events, how will they be chosen? What are the requirements? Is anyone eligible?

Once again, the announcement leaves more questions than answers. Stay tuned.
