The 2020 CrossFit Games Finals Will Broadcast on National TV
After postponements, event modifications, and a first round that saw favorites and underdogs thrive, the 2020 Reebok CrossFit Games Finals is finally just around the corner. Since holding stage one of the competition remotely, CrossFit HQ announced its game plan for the finalists—and broadcast details for fans at home so they can ensure they won’t miss out.
Due to COVID-19, the final stage will be the shortest CrossFit Games since 2011. The Finals start on October 23 and run through through October 25 in Aromas, California. The top ten finalists will spend the weekend battling for the title of the Fittest Man and Woman on Earth.
The top five male competitors are Mat Fraser, Noah Ohlsen, Justin Medeiros, Samuel Kwant, and Jeffrey Adler. Leading the pack is Fraser, four-time Fittest Man, as he looks to set a new record for consecutive victories.
The top five female competitors are Tia-Clair Toomey, Brooke Wells, Haley Adams, Katrín Davidsdottir, and Kari Pearce. Toomey—who trains with Fraser—heads into the finals in the top spot, with hopes to extend her record as the most decorated woman in CrossFit Games history.
