With the 2017 CrossFit Games starting this Thursday in Madison, Wisconsin, more details and information around the events are making their way onto social media.

Cyclocross At The Games?

Yesterday Dave Castro shared a video on his Instagram of an athlete practicing what looks to be a cyclocross-esque event. Cyclocross, also known as cross-country bike racing, is definitely an event that will test the competitors' athleticism. Just check out the video below.

More Details On The 'O-Course'

Castro also shared a closer look at the team 'Sprint O-Course' event via his Instagram.

It looks like the individual athletes were given the opportunity earlier today to test out the Sprint O-Course before they confront it in competition later this week.

With cargo nets, rope swings, and balancing acts, the O-Course looks like it will be an extremely fun and exciting event to watch -- and an event that could really shake up the leaderboard. It will be interesting to see how athletes approach each of the elements within the course, whether some will go all-out or play it more conservatively to stay safe.

Check out Kristi Eramo taking a spill on the first descent of the O-Course.
