To all listening CrossFitters: this year's Games will have an incredible novelty! Do you remember that Eric Roza just took over the position of owner of the brand, has big changes announced?
Here, in fact it is so!
In addition to having created the ZIP code (an official brand programming) and a number of social initiatives, these days have also been announced i Virtual Games 2021.
It is a event completely online, which is nothing more than an opportunity for all CrossFit® lovers to put themselves to the test, testing their skills in a series of WODs of the CrossFit® Games 2021.
Workouts can be performed in RX mode or modified in scaled mode, if necessary. The purpose of this challenge is to have fun, but it will also help you find out what level you are at, challenging other CrossFitters from anywhere in the world.
All those who decide to participate will receive an exclusive t-shirt for free and those who publish the scores at each training on social networks will earn the Virtually Games Athlete title (or "Virtual Athlete of Games").
Scores must be sent by 3 August 2021, at 11:00 and registration costs $ 50.

Why participate?
Roza had warned us that her main goal would be to become the CrossFit® more inclusive. This is why this series of initiatives meet so many needs.
There are those who dream of participating in the Games, there are those who would like to, but they know that they will never reach similar levels. Then the Virtual Games falls flat.
Well, sure… it won't be like go to Madison and see up close war machines like Froning and Tia Toomey, but at least you will feel part of the world competition.
I would reply only with a ... "and why not do it?"
