The CrossFit Games 2021 are on the horizon, and many of the participants are incredibly excited. There will be women's competitions in addition to the regular men's and women's competitions. We have all heard about the women's competition, the Pegboard contest, the Cutting system, and Reebok's equipment, but do you know what to expect? Keep reading to find the answer! And don't forget to check out the CrossFit news page for updates on the competition!
Women's competition
The 2021 Crossfit Games women's competition opened this morning with a swim event. Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and Jonne Koski won in the first event. Koski won the overall competition after maintaining her lead all the way. Tall finished second and Eramoo O’Connell third, respectively. It was the first Games event by women. The women's side wanted to complete the podium.
The women's contest is filled with high-level athletes. The field includes nine athletes, including a 19-year-old powerhouse who won the competition in Australia last year. Other contenders are Australian athlete Kara Saunders, who finished second in Australia and eleventh worldwide in 2020. Andrea Nisler (who competed as a team in the 2018 division, finishing third in the United States and fifteenth overall for 2020) is another rising star. Aside from these athletes, the Women’s competition will also include a newcomer, Sara Sigmundsdottir, an Icelandan competitor, who won first place at the World Crossfit Games earlier.
Pegboard contest
Pegboard competition at Crossfit Games 2021 was the first. It was added to the Games' summer Olympic program along with double-unders and dumbbell overhead squats. With 30 wins, Toomey-Orr holds the record for the most Games events won. Sager won Event 11 and became the Games' third winner. There were several tie in the contest but Toomey Orr's dominance was too strong to stop him winning.
CrossFit Games training involves focusing on ten basic physical fitness skills: endurance, strength flexibility power speed and agility. Pegboard is a contest that tests competitor's grip strength as well as coordination. A scale is used to determine the strength and coordination of competitors. The competition was intense, and the athletes left feeling satisfied after completing their Pegboard.
Cutting system
The CrossFit Games will once again employ a cutting system for the individual competition. Although it's not as drastic as previous Games, it is still quite different from this year. The competition has 15 individual events. Therefore, it's likely that the first cut of 30 athletes will occur after the seventh or eight event. One question that remains is how CrossFit will adjust the points distribution after cuts. It's probable that the scoring table used for the 2019 games will remain nearly the same as the one used in 2021.
This year's CrossFit Games team includes 236 competitors, making it the largest ever. Major cuts are made in the first six events. The field is reduced to 75 athletes. The top thirty athletes then compete in a sprint team to determine the top 10. From there, the top twenty athletes compete in the six remaining events. Castro's system was strongly criticised by former Games participants, who felt that cuts were too substantial.
Reebok's equipment
Reebok announces new CrossFit Games clothing, shoes and other equipment. Nano X1 will be the new shoes. They are built to accommodate multiple fitness needs. Although Reebok calls this shoe "the shoe for fitness", it feels more like a training shoe. DuPont's Kevlar upper promotes breathability while ensuring durability. The shoes are responsive thanks to the firm midsole and RopePro technology.
Reebok's contract with CrossFit will end at the end of 2020, and the Games will be without a title sponsor. Reebok has been sponsoring the Games for over a decade and now it is clear that its involvement will be declining. Reebok won’t pay for the Games’ prize, but they will continue to make all athletic apparel, equipment, and gear worn by athletes. However, the company will no longer refer to itself as the "Reebok CrossFit Games" as it does now.

Yes! You can do several things to make sure you get the most out of your workouts. Here are some tips to help you maximize your workout.

Stretch before and afterwards. Stretching can help to loosen tight muscles, decrease soreness, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. You can stretch by lying down, standing up, or walking around.
Cool down. This is particularly important when doing cardio exercises. It is important that your body has time to recover from each session so it doesn’t become exhausting. For cooling down, you can walk slowly, take deep breathes, or go for short swim.
Hydrate. Hydration can help you stay hydrated and reduce muscle cramps. Water is the best drink, but sports drinks are also good.
Be healthy. You should eat enough calories every day. Regular meals throughout the day will help keep you energized and focussed during your workouts.
Get some sleep. Sleep well and you will feel refreshed when you wake up. It is essential to get enough sleep in order to repair damaged tissues.
