Full Details On Four 2017 CrossFit Games Events Released
We now know full details on four of the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games events, including the Run Swim Run, the obstacle course, the 1RM snatch, and the Triple G Chipper.
Yesterday, CrossFit updated the 2017 Games workouts page with details on four of the first five events at the 2017 CrossFit Games, which take place August 3-6 in Madison, Wisconsin:
For time:
Run 1.5 miles
Swim 500m
Run 1.5 miles
*Time cap 60 minutes
TBD, but based on the new CrossFit Games app, we know that the bike event is scheduled to take nearly three times as long as the run-swim-run event.
The obstacle course event will run in similar fashion to the old obstacle course in that it'll be a three-round bracketed tournament.
The 1RM snatch event at the 2017 CrossFit Games will run similar to the 1RM clean & jerk event from the 2015 CrossFit Games in that each athlete will be lifting one at a time on their own platform and there will be a lift every twenty seconds. The heaviest ten lifters will get a third attempt.
For time:
100 pull ups
80 GHD sit ups
60 pistols
40 calorie row
20 dumbbell push press (100/70)
As expected from Dave Castro's event reveal, the weights involved in the Chipper event will be with dumbbells, which makes this a much more exciting event to check out.
