The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared it a public health emergency, so it’s no surprise the Coronavirus outbreak is having an effect on the worldwide CrossFit community.
The Asia CrossFit Championship (ACC) Online Qualifier has pushed back the deadline for submission by 10 days. Affiliates across the country have had to remain closed in the wake of the outbreak. The new online qualifier deadline is February 12, UTC+8 11:59 PM.
The live event is set to take place beginning May 8, however, organizers have confirmed those dates could change, pending how quickly the outbreak is controlled.
The Morning Chalk Up has spoken with several athletes who had planned on competing at ACC but are now reconsidering.
China’s National Champion Ant Haynes lives in Hong Kong and took pictures outside his flat this week where a line of people backed up 300 meters to purchase face masks.
While we compete in the Sport of Fitness, the ultimate goal is health and longevity. To all those affected in the community, our thoughts are with you — stay safe — and contact us if you feel there are ways in which the global CrossFit community can help.
