Understandably, there was some curiosity and even concern over how the 2020 CrossFit Games would shape up, considering the pandemic and the strange circumstances that HQ has had to work with. But in recent days, as the events have slowly been released, they’ve made it clear: Like every other year, we can expect a nail-biting show.

We now know what to expect for Event 6, and it’s going to be a good one for testing strategy, speed, and endurance.

What’s cool about this event — something that the trail run and corn sack sprint don’t really have — is that athletes might have to make a choice: To break up reps, or attempt to go unbroken. With the caliber of competitors we’re looking at, one quick break can mean the difference between landing on the podium and going home empty-handed.

What do you think of Event 6?
