What’s next for the CrossFit Games?

ICYMI, the CrossFit Games has had quite the back-and-forth with Madison when it comes to future hosting opportunities.

Fall of last year, CrossFit named Birmingham, Alabama as the 2024 host. Then in January, it was announced that the games would actually be staying in Madison.

Most recently, organizers released a statement rescinding Madison’s hosting title, promising a host city announcement sometime after the games wrap up. So, stay tuned.
