In less than a month, the final five athletes in both divisions will step onto the dusty hills of Aromas to compete for the CrossFit Games title. The task in front of them at the Ranch will be much different than what they overcame in stage one to secure their top five spot, and ultimately their training in the lead-up will reflect that.

For the newcomers, it will be unlike anything else they’ve prepared for in the past. Even for the athletes that qualified in 2019, the landscape and circumstances around the Games are much different this season and with the new regime at CrossFit HQ there’s more support for the sport.
