This is a heavy Regional. … From a loading perspective, Spealler looked like he was outmatched a bit. … It came down to the final chipper. … He had to execute an amazing snatch ladder where I think he maybe hit like 225 (lb) but at the time it was like, ‘This is insane for someone his size to snatch this much.’ But I’ll just never forget how electric it was.” — Adrian Conway on his most memorable Regional experience

Ep. 089: 2023 Individual Quarterfinal Recap With Adrian Bozman Mar 30, 2023

“I do believe that we are still a culture of integrity. We are still a culture of honesty and it doesn’t sit well with me that people think it’s solely the responsibility of us administering the competition to act in a way that upholds the nature of the competition. That’s on everybody. Yeah, it’s our job to administer it, and it’s our job to do the best job that we can to make sure that we get the athletes that are doing it right and filtering through to those next stages, and are rewarded for it. Absolutely. That’s our responsibility. We take full responsibility for that. But, it’s also the responsibility of the athletes engaging in this, the affiliates that they come from, the coaches that are judging them, the other athletes around them to engage in this in a way that is putting the best foot forward for everybody.”
Competition Director Adrian Bozman joins the show to share some behind-the-scenes perspective on the 2023 Individual Quarterfinal with host Chase Ingraham.

In today’s episode, Boz dives into his top moments from the competition, programming for Quarterfinals, the score review process for online competitions, and penalty assessment for unmet or improper movement or test standards.

Ep. 080: Competition Region Exemption — 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games Season Feb 13, 2023

“There are some pretty extreme situations out there that we don’t want to have as a barrier for people who legitimately want to qualify and compete. Those were the problems we’re trying to solve with this exemption region, is how do we take care of particularly the athletes that are going to have to travel for Semifinals and the Games? How do we take care of those athletes that find themselves on the margins of this citizenship qualification process?.” — Adrian Bozman

Ep. 079: Strength of Field & Qualifying for the CrossFit Games Feb 09, 2023

Competition Director Adrian Bozman and Senior Manager of the Competition Team Dave Eubanks join the podcast to explain the strength-of-field calculation for the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games season.
Last episode, Bozman and Eubanks described a new worldwide ranking system — a sliding two-year span of data where athletes earn points based on their performances during the Games season — and explained that one of the system’s functions would be to finalize the number of Games-qualifying spots for each Semifinal event.
Each competition region has the opportunity to add to its minimum number of guaranteed Games-qualifying position(s).

Ep. 078: Worldwide Ranking System Explained Feb 01, 2023

“The basic system is very simple — as athletes compete through the season, they can gain points for each stage of the season that they compete in. Obviously, you’re gonna get more points for placing higher and less points for placing lower, and your worldwide ranking will be determined based on the total number of points that you’ve accumulated over the season, or in this case, two years.” — Adrian Bozman
A new worldwide ranking system was recently introduced for the 2023 CrossFit Games season.Using a sliding two-year span of data, athletes will earn points — based on their performances during the four stages of competition — that will be used to calculate their ranking. Available points will increase as athletes advance through the season. One of the worldwide ranking system’s functions will be to determine the final number of Games-qualifying spots at each Semifinal event.
In this episode, Competition Director Adrian Bozman and Senior Manager of the Competition Team Dave Eubanks join host Chase Ingraham to explain this new system in depth and give insight into the thinking and decision-making behind this new process.
Hear from Boz and Eubanks as they break down the point system, explaining how athletes will earn points during each stage of the season and how many are up for grabs, and briefly explain how this ranking system will be used to determine the strength of field at Semifinal competitions.

“What makes (the Open) worth it is all the things we’ve been talking about so far — the camaraderie, the fact that anybody can do it. What a confidence boost to take anybody who’s not athletic, isn’t particularly health-conscious, and over the course of time they can enter into something like this and see success, whatever that looks like to them.

“From an athlete perspective, it can get very, very frustrating trying to plan your season, trying to plan your training, not knowing what’s going on, so the real goal here was to support the athletes as best as possible in a world where it’s unknown and unknowable most of the time.” — Becky Harsh
Athlete Communications Manager Becky Harsh joins host Chase Ingraham on the podcast to review new changes to the 2023 CrossFit Competition Rulebook and discuss her role as a liaison between CrossFit and athletes.
Transparency and early communication between CrossFit and the community has become a priority, and as Athlete Communications Manager, Harsh has been working closely with athlete committees to ensure their voices are heard.
One step forward has been the earlier-than-ever release of the 2023 Competition Rulebook to allow athletes a chance to plan appropriately for the upcoming season.

Miazga, an adaptive athlete and CrossFit Games commentator, provides his perspective on the new season structure and the representation of all adaptive divisions at the 2024 Games.
“I can understand why people would be frustrated,” Miazga says about athletes in five adaptive divisions being crowned the fittest at the end of the 2023 Open.
“I think this is necessary in order to get to where we want to be,” Miazga continues, “and the idea of (all adaptive divisions being at the Games) in 2024 is something I’m motivated by.”
Bozman reviews adjustments to the season, which will be detailed in the official Rulebook, and also offers his insight on the season structure.
“That was a hard decision to make,” Bozman says about eliminating Semifinals.
“Nobody wants less, however, we expect that this is gonna be a really positive step if people have the patience to see it through and see what we can get going in 2024 with full visibility and full representation,” he says.
The group also chats about Rinse ‘N’ Repeat from the 2022 Games — an event that was identical across all divisions — the possible addition of adaptive divisions in the future, and how CrossFit can benefit athletes of all sports and people of all ability levels.

Ep. 069: 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games Season Updates With Adrian Bozman Oct 15, 2022

“The influence I’m going to bring to it, my history with CrossFit, who I am — it’ll be unavoidable to have some of that in there, but at the end of the day it’s not about me as the programmer. … It’s important to get the programming right. It’s important to have a test that makes sense from early stages through the most advanced stages, it’s important that you can see that progression not just through the season but through the history of the sport, but I don’t think it’s important at all that it has anything to do with me.” — Adrian Bozman on programming the 2023 season.
Competition Director Adrian Bozman joins the podcast to provide more details and clarity on the updates made to the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games season.
Notable changes to the upcoming CrossFit Games season have been announced and Bozman touches on many of them, including the number of Semifinal competitions, eligibility requirements for teams, standardized programming at Semifinals, and Games-qualifying spots relative to the strength of field.
Bozman describes how and why the division of North America into two regions came to be, gives insight into why country of citizenship will continue to be used to determine where an athlete will compete in Semifinals, and briefly explains a petition of exemption process for athletes who haven’t lived in their country of citizenship as it relates to Semifinals. More details to follow.
Bozman also explains why programming at Semifinals will be standardized and digs into the power-ranking system as it relates to Games-qualifying spots, noting there will be a minimum number of Games-qualifying spots guaranteed at each Semifinal.
The competition director also reviews the truncated Quarterfinal schedule, how many age-group athletes will advance to the Games from the Semifinals, and Open requirements for teams to meet eligibility for competition.

Ep. 063: Programming the CrossFit Games Jul 22, 2022

"These are not meant to be workouts. … The goal here is not to leave that competition floor pushing the needle forward with your fitness. ...

Ep. 062: Defeating CrossFit Mayhem Jul 20, 2022

During the 2022 CrossFit season, a number of athletes have tested positive for banned substances, including CrossFit Games qualifiers. To protect the integrity of the competition and its athletes, CrossFit strongly enforces an anti-doping policy.
In the podcast, Bergh and Bowler thoroughly explain the drug-testing process that athletes undergo. They also explain how athletes can appeal their drug violation and how Games spots are backfilled should a Games qualifier test positive for a banned substance.
Bergh also explains CrossFit’s mission to ensure that all athletes are able to compete on an even playing field, protecting its integrity as a sport and the claim of finding the Fittest on Earth.
As a former collegiate athlete and a Games competitor who’s been drug tested, Conway shares his experiences with the process and gives his opinion on being a responsible athlete in a professional sport.
In an attempt to help the CrossFit community, Bowler offers guidance on how athletes can better familiarize themselves with CrossFit’s Drug Testing Policy and as well as advice on how to better educate themselves about the supplements they’re taking.
Bowler encourages athletes to reach out to CrossFit’s team with any and all questions, advises athletes to read supplement labels, and urges athletes subscribe to “The Hopper,” which contains informative literature about the competition and drug-testing policy for the community and competitive athletes.
Bergh and Bowler also list the most common banned substances found in positive results, weigh in on the severity of the penalty imposed on the athlete, and address the misconception that CrossFit protects athletes by not disclosing positive tests.

“We also consider the team circumstance. Sometimes teams have other requirements or commitments via sponsorship, they have to travel away from the team, sometimes team members get sick. There are things that go on within the lifespan of every member of that team that we do try to take into consideration as well so it’s not just a static number, and again, all this is done in an effort to give the benefit of the doubt to the team and that establishes a very low threshold in many cases for teams to meet.” — Adrian Bozman

And in saying that, I think it’s really cool to have some standardized events.

Ep. 030: 2022 Affiliate Cup Competition Season Explained Feb 15, 2022

Host Chase Ingraham and CrossFit Competition Director Adrian Bozman outline the 2022 Games season for athletes preparing for the Affiliate Cup competition at the 2022 Games Finals.
To compete in the Affiliate Cup, athletes must first register for the Open as an individual. A member of the affiliate — who is then designated as the team captain — will then register the affiliate team. The team captain can add members to the team and/or members can join the team themselves.
After the Open, the top 25% of teams from each continental region with a minimum of 50 teams will advance to the Quarterfinals. The top 80 teams in North America, 40 teams in Europe, and 20 teams in Africa, South America, Asia, and Oceania will advance to Semifinals.

Host Chase Ingraham and CrossFit Games Competition Director Adrian Bozman map out and explain the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games season for the teen divisions.
"It's like looking into the future. I see athletes that are coming up through (the teen) divisions and I think to myself, 'Okay, in a couple of years, I'm going to be seeing them on the big stage if they choose to keep it up.' So, that's pretty cool and pretty exciting to get a window into the future of the sport." — Adrian Bozman
The road to the Games for athletes in the teen 14-15 and 16-17 divisions will closely mirror the individuals and the teams.
The top 10% of athletes from the Open in the two teen divisions will advance to Quarterfinals, and then the top 30 from Quarterfinals will advance to Semifinals.

I know that not everybody is going to agree all the time, and I don't expect that, but I do appreciate that people are so invested in this thing that they're willing to speak out … . We hear that … and we do take all these into consideration, and it's our hope that we can continue to push toward something that everybody wants to be a part of. We hear you guys, we love the enthusiasm, we love the passion, and we're working. We're working for you." — Adrian Bozman

Ep. 026: A Message to CrossFit Athletes and Fans Jan 21, 2022

New General Manager of Sport Justin Bergh joins Chase Ingraham on the podcast to discuss the CrossFit season structure, recent changes to the company, and the vision for the future of CrossFit.
Bergh took on the role of General Manager of Sport in early January 2022 after Dave Castro was dismissed from his position. Bergh highlights Castro’s responsibilities within CrossFit over the years, including his involvement with the Seminar Staff, the CrossFit Games, and other areas of the company.
Despite internal changes that have taken place, the main focus for 2022 will be to listen, to communicate, and to provide consistency for the community.
The CrossFit Games season structure will remain consistent for this year, and it all starts with the Open.
(Minute 13ish) “(The Open) unlocks more opportunities to invest back into the sport and bring things to our fans, and tell athlete stories and tell CrossFit stories in a way that supports the overall mission,” Bergh says, explaining the importance of the Open for the community and the growth of CrossFit.
As far as using Castro’s programming for the Open workouts, Bergh says, “We’ll talk about that soon,” affirming more information will become available through the CrossFit channels.
Minute 44:17: “The discussion around programming,” Bergh says, “is one where I think if we’re doing a good job, (we’re) walking people into the programming conversation, not just telling them the decision we made.”
Long-standing Seminar Staff member and Flowmaster Adrian Bozman will head the programming department.
Looking ahead to the future of the CrossFit Games and sharing more stories from the community, Bergh says, “I think that we can really use our sport for greater benefit than maybe anybody else has ever used sport before.”
Although a select few get to participate at the Games, which have become a source of inspiration for many, Bergh says, “It starts at an affiliate.”
“Regardless of where people are in their athlete journey or their levels, we want this to be a sport that they feel like they can learn and play.”

Things are heating up in Miami, Florida, as a stacked field of athletes gets fired up to compete at Wodapalooza (WZA), an offseason, CrossFit-licensed event. This year marks the competition’s 10th anniversary.

Ep. 017: Inside the Legends Championship—A Masters Only Competition Dec 08, 2021

“That’s our biggest thing is athlete experience. Making sure that when they come to Legends Championship, they’re going to remember it for a long time; they’re going to remember it for years … and it’s going to be an experience that they can look back upon and smile.” —Joe Linton
For years, the CrossFit masters divisions have shown the masses what fitness can look like at any age. As a result, more opportunities — like masters-specific competitions — have been created to shine a bright light on these talented and inspiring athletes.
In this episode, Bob Jennings and Joe Linton, co-founders of The Legends Championship, join host Chase Ingraham to talk about the evolution of this annual masters-only competition, and what athletes and spectators can expect at this year’s event.
The Legends Championship began in 2017 as a one-day competition with 36 participants. Today, masters athletes from all over the world participate in multiple stages in the hopes of being one of hundreds to compete at the four-day final in San Diego, California.
The competition begins Thursday, Dec. 9 and runs through Sunday, Dec. 12.
Jennings and Linton have kept workout details close to the vest, planning to reveal more information hours before the events, and are excited to watch the masters in action.
“With only releasing the workouts maybe 18 hours in advance,” Jennings says, “... all (the athletes) can do is game plan for them. … It’s going to be really fun to watch those plans unravel and then see the athletes that can overcome that challenge mid-workout.”
Athletes can also expect “to touch some (equipment) that (they) probably don’t have at (their) gym,” Linton says.
For fans unable to attend the competition in person, eight of the nine events will be streamed live on the Legends Masters Comp YouTube channel with CrossFit Games broadcasters Sean Woodland, Bill Grundler, and Annie Sakamoto commentating the event.

Ep. 016: Inside “2018: The Ultimate Test” with Director Mariah Moore Nov 23, 2021

“It’s a very personal film for me ... because I know all of the people that worked very hard behind the scenes. … So finally being able to bring their hard work back to life and get to share (it) with the world — I’m very proud that I’ve gotten the opportunity to do that.”
After rumors began to circulate around the CrossFit Home Office of possible changes that would affect the future of the CrossFit Games and the media team, CrossFit staff decided to remain resilient in the face of uncertainty and turn the 2018 Games into an event to remember.
Director of “2018: The Ultimate Test” Mariah Moore joins host Chase Ingraham to discuss her experience on CrossFit’s media team and talk about creating the 2018 Games documentary.
Moore opens up about the events of the 2018 Games season and describes her personal connection to making the documentary, including her desire to showcase the media team’s hard work behind the scenes that year.
From capturing and digesting footage to interviewing staff and athletes more than three years later, Moore details the creative process of bringing the film to life, condensing the most memorable and exciting moments from the Games into a documentary less than two hours long.
Although the film has not yet been released, Moore is already in production for the 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games documentary.
“I think 2021 has the makings to be the best film that CrossFit will have ever put out,” Moore says about the unprecedented year.
“We were all just so happy to be back,” Moore continues. “We all were just so grateful to be back in Madison, to be doing the Games, and I think the athletes felt that, too. It was a very emotional year.”
The highly anticipated 2018 Games documentary will be released Tuesday, Dec. 7, and is available for pre-order now on iTunes (in over 65+ countries) and on Amazon (U.S. only).

Ep. 015: The Evolution of Masters (35-65+) Athletes and the CrossFit Games Nov 17, 2021

“What the masters division has done for me … has gotten me excited about turning 40, turning 50, turning 60, and instead of saying, ‘Ugh, I’m this old,’ I’m like, ‘I am this old and look what I can do.’” —Chase Ingraham
The masters division is proof that competitive CrossFit is possible even as you age.
In this episode, 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games athletes Annie Sakamoto, Women’s 45-49 division champion, and Nuno Costa, sixth-place finisher in the Men’s 40-44 division, join host Chase Ingraham to discuss the evolution of the masters division, and share their views on the changes to the 2022 season.
The road to the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games has a few extra stops for age-group athletes.
This year, the top 10 percent of age-group athletes from the Open will advance to Quarterfinals. From the Quarterfinals, the top 30 athletes from each age division will move on to Semifinals.
Different from 2021, the top 10 athletes from Semifinals in each age group will be invited to compete in Madison at the CrossFit Games.
While Sakamoto and Costa agree that the new structure provides extra opportunities for athletes to compete and showcase their abilities, they said they prefer a larger playing field of 20 competitors at the Games.

Ep. 014: The Future of the Adaptive Division in CrossFit Nov 15, 2021

In this episode, Kevin Ogar* and Alec Zirkenbach** discuss the evolution of the adaptive division in the CrossFit space, their role in the 2021 season, and the future of the division in the CrossFit Games.
In 2021, the NOBULL CrossFit Games Open included eight adaptive athlete divisions for the first time — Men and Women’s Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Neuromuscular, Short Stature, Intellectual, Vision, Seated Athletes (With Hip Function), and Seated Athletes (Without Hip Function).
Three of those divisions — Men and Women’s Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, and Neuromuscular — competed at the CrossFit Games.
“I think over the next couple of years you’re going to see not just an outgrowth in the sport but an outgrowth in the adaptive community and the general population as a whole. People are going to stop being scared to be out in the world with a disability. They’re going to be more outgoing, more comfortable in their own skin because they are capable and they are being told that they’re capable, and I can’t imagine something that can be more impactful on someone’s life who’s being told ‘no’ their entire life than someone telling them, ‘Yes, you can, and I’ll show you how.’” —Kevin Ogar
*Kevin Ogar is a Level 3 CrossFit Trainer, Head Trainer on the CrossFit Seminar Staff, member of the Adaptive Training Academy, owner and head coach of CrossFit WatchTower, and a CrossFit District 4 Affiliate Rep.
**Alec Zirkenbach is a U.S. Navy veteran, executive director of the Adaptive Training Academy, a Level 3 CrossFit Trainer, and a Head Trainer on the CrossFit Seminar Staff.
