The CrossFit Games (Championships) is the final stage of an annual athletic competition—held every year since 2007 by CrossFit, Inc.—that dubs individual winners the “Fittest on Earth.”
“The Games” are a weekend-long event that represent the culmination of a season that starts with a field (in The CrossFit Open) of hundreds of thousands of athletes of all fitness levels, and is narrowed (also through Sanctional events) to the fittest men, women, and teams who receive invites to compete.
Athletes at The Games compete in workouts that they learn about with little advance notice, consisting mostly of a mix of standard aerobic, weightlifting, and gymnastics movements, as well as some additional surprise elements.
