The 2020 CrossFit Games are drawing nearer, and between Dave Castro and HQ, we’re getting a better idea of what we can expect from the events of Phase 2. They recently announced that for Event 3, they’re bringing back the CrossFit Total — a classic test of pure, raw strength.


We last saw the CrossFit Total in 2018, when we were completely blown away by Tia-Clair Toomey. Like, even more than normal.

Plus, she just *barely* beat out Brooke Wells, so you can bet that this year, it’s on.

Another fun fact we learned? The points that the top five earned in Phase 1 are actually going to be erased. In other words, they’re starting with a clean slate. Mat Fraser and Toomey aren’t technically ahead anymore, and everyone has an equal chance.

As for Event 4, we don’t know much yet, other than it may (or may not, knowing Castro and his clues) involve handstand walks.

And Event 5? Trail run! Yes, more running. This will be after the corn sack sprint that is Event 2.

Get ready, athletes. You have your work cut out for you.

Let the Games begin… almost!
