Talking Elite Fitness Tommy Marquez & Sean Woodland

After two weeks of in-person competition the CrossFit Games semifinals go virtual.  Sean and Tommy recap the CrossFit German Throwdown, the CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown and the Brazil CrossFit Championship.  Who impressed, who surprised and who emerged as potential podium contenders at the Games?  Plus, WIT signs a multi-year deal to operate an official online CrossFit store, sell CrossFit-branded gear and have a retail presence at the CrossFit Games and other CrossFit events.

The first virtual semifinal events take place this weekend.  Sean, Tommy and official Friend of the Show Brian Friend break down the CrossFit German Throwdown, The Lowlands CrossFit Throwdown and The Brazil CrossFit Championship.  They tell you who they think will be going to the Games, who could be a dark horse, who has a chance to keep their seasons alive and what effect the programming may have.  Plus, a team that has already qualified for the Games might not be going after all.

It was another exciting week of semifinals action as the field of athletes heading to the CrossFit Games continues to grow.  Sean and Tommy take a look back at the big moments and stories from The Granite Games and The Fittest in Cape Town.  In Minnesota  we had another surprise winner for the second-straight week, two youngsters stole the show and a pair of records were set.  A veteran is returning to the Games out of Africa while the winning team was perfect.
