2024 CrossFit Games Demo Team Announced — Get to Know the Members

July 9, 2024 by Joe Genetin-Pilawa

Yesterday, the CrossFit Games revealed the 2024 Demo Team.

An annual summer ritual, sometimes a few days before and sometimes a few weeks before the start of Games week, CrossFit reveals “a team of experienced CrossFit athletes…selected to demonstrate each event at the CrossFit Games to the field of athletes.”

The group of six (sometimes more or less) will test workouts before (and during) the Games to give general manager of sport Dave Castro and other organizers a realistic run-through at full speed.
For example, when rain delayed 2022’s “Alpaca” event, it was the Demo Team who came out to the field to test equipment and help determine the next steps, which ultimately involved removing the rope climbs.

The 18th CrossFit Games will take place August 8-11 at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX, for the first time in the event’s history. Learn more about the Demo Team below.
