After a morning of endurance tests with Run-Swim-Run and Cyclocross for the Individuals and Run-Swim-Run Relay for the Teams, the final events for Day 1 of the 2107 Reebok CrossFit Games are bringing it back to traditional CrossFit. Dave Castro announced that all Individual and Team athletes will be testing their fitness with muscle-ups and squat snatches in various versions of a CrossFit favorite, Amanda.

In 2010, The CrossFit Games moved from The Ranch in Aromas, California down to Carson where the opening event, Amanda, kicked off that year’s Games. The WOD was created in honor of CrossFit Games athlete Amanda Miller who lost her battle with Melanoma in April of the same year. She was 24. You can read more of her story here.

Competition will move to the Coliseum at the Alliant Energy Center and the floor will be set up with five rigs. The athletes will move down the floor as they compete their rep schemes.
