Justin Bergh, General Manager for the CrossFit Games, said, “We are proud of our relationship with ESPN and the continued support for the CrossFit Games. The live shows will highlight the incredible capacity of these athletes and teams, and the communities that support them. In our 10th year, the depth of coverage planned for ESPN will provide unprecedented access and remind viewers why the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games are the ultimate proving grounds for the fittest athletes on Earth.”

The CrossFit Games are an annual fitness competition where male and female athletes compete to be named the Fittest on Earth. CrossFit Games competitors generally do not know the nature, duration, number, frequency or timing of the workouts they will be required to complete during the competition until shortly before each event begins.  The constantly varied workouts are designed to test a competitor’s general physical preparedness, including strength, speed, agility and endurance, through a combination of Olympic lifts, gymnastics movements, agility courses, powerlifting, running and more.

The CrossFit Games are the final stage of a season-long competition designed to determine the world’s fittest male and female athletes through a wide variety of athletic challenges.   More than 324,000 athletes from around the globe competed in 2016, ranging in age from 14 to 83 years old. The finalists previously had to advance through the online Open competition and one of eight worldwide Regional competitions to earn the right to compete at the Games. This year marks the tenth annual CrossFit Games and the sixth year in which Reebok is the title sponsor. Learn more about the CrossFit Games and CrossFit, Inc.
