The first live Open announcement of the Post-Dave Castro Era and the official start of the 2022 CrossFit Games season is coming in hot tomorrow on the official CrossFit YouTube channel.

The details: The live Open announcement will kick off the 2022 CrossFit Games season and the world’s largest participatory sporting event. The announcements started in the 2013 season and grew in size and popularity through 2018. CrossFit elected not to host live Open announcements during the 2019 and 2020 seasons, but returned to host them in 2021.
