Last morning from Thursday to Friday we discovered the first wod of the Open CrossFit Games 2020. After the four days of rigor to perform the exercise, we will see the World and national classification To discover how the thing looks after 20.1.
20.1 The Open Games begin
10 Rounds for Time with Time Cap of 15min
8 Ground To Overhead (43/29KG)
10 Burpees Bar-Facing
Yes, we have all had the same reaction and put the same face after knowing the first WOD of the Open 2020.
It is a wod of physical and mental suffering that bores just thinking about it.
But we already know that this is just the beginning and we are clear that those of CrossFit We have prepared much more interesting events (and more disgusting, if you can).
Live announcement
You already know that this course begins with the New Open Modality that we already saw in March/April.
There are very few differences: on the one hand there is the change of dates (that's why we have double ration of Open this 2019); And on the other, they are the wod ads live.
We already saw at the beginning of the year that we no longer have global ads with Dave Castro and the elite competing somewhere in America.
Now, the Live Announcement They are made simultaneously in different parts of the world, in The headquarters of the official competitions.
For him 20.1, Brazil, France and South Korea welcomed the event with their national athletes, in addition to the city of Austin in Texas, where Iron Game Rogue will take place.
Although he has his thing to see Koreans doing crossfit, It is always more interesting to see Rich Froning and Scott Panchik facing live.
Duel result: Panchik: 9:22 - Froning: 9:59.

What catches the attention of this initial classification?
That the Frenchman, world number 1, or has been wrong to upload the results, or 10 Red Bulls has been taken before doing the WOD; or we are facing the new prodigy of crossfit.
Having seen the times of the male elite, which is around eight minutes, we dare to say that it is a mistake and that the organization will surely ask for review of this video.
We are also delighted to see our Sam Briggs In number 2 of this first Wod.
If we continue scrutinizing the plank, we see that the best in the world are among the top 50.
But we must trust this is just the beginning. Many have well -planned strategies to earn their ticket to the 2020 Games.
Some bet everything in the Open, others in the sanctioning. Some will seek to be nº1 of their country, others enter the top 20 of the elite or even compete as a team.
All tactics are valid, so we just have to see how the board evolves in the next four weeks.
Next Friday 18, we will know the 20.2 that will be announced live from Australia in a duel that will face Matt McLeod and Khan Porter.
The 20.1 summarized in a meme ...
