Focus Athletic & Outdoor Oct 25, 2020 11:15PM PT Mat Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey Win the 2020 CrossFit Games — and Shatter Several Records in the Process.

The 2020 CrossFit Games were the 14th CrossFit Games held on October 23–25, 2020, at the CrossFit Ranch in Aromas, California, United States.[1]Mathew Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey were again the respective winners of this year's men and women competitions[2][3]

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 forced major changes to the Games season, including the postponement and relocation of the Games. The format was altered, and only 30 men and 30 women were invited to compete in an online-only first stage with the top five men and women qualifying for the final stage to compete in person. There were no teams, masters, or teens events.[4]

This year both Fraser and Toomey produced the most dominant performances the Games have ever seen: Fraser won 10 of the 12 events in the last stage of the competition, while Toomey won 9. They set a further series of records in their respective competitions, such as their margin of victory, the number of consecutive event wins and cumulative event wins.[5][6] This was Fraser's fifth consecutive Games title, overtaking Rich Froning's record of four, and Toomey's fourth, a new record for the women's competition.[7][8]

Format changes[edit]

The 2020 qualifying events started with the Open held in October 2019, and the sanctioned events began in November 2019. The events proceeded as scheduled until March 2020 when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic caused Sanctioned events to be cancelled amidst social distancing requirements and travel restrictions for international competitors. The pandemic necessitated major changes to the format and a reduction in scale, including the removal of the teams, masters, and teens events. The Games were initially scheduled to be held from July 29 to August 2 in Madison, Wisconsin, but as spectators were not allowed at many venues during the pandemic, the final stage was postponed and moved to the CrossFit Ranch in Aromas where the Games were first held from 2007 to 2009.[9][10] Originally 332 athletes, including 239 previously invited national champions,[11] would have participated in the Games, but due to the pandemic, only the top 20 men and women from the Open and 10 Sanctional champions from Sanction events that took place were invited.[12][13]

The Games were split into two stages. In the first stage held from September 18–19, 60 invited athletes (30 men and 30 women) from around the world competed online in their own homes or in local gyms. Rankings for the athletes were determined at the end of the first stage; those placed number 6 to number 20 received prize money,[14] while the top five men and women proceeded to the second stage for the final events in Aromas to compete in person.[15][16] Due to the smaller number of competitors, most events did not have a time cap, but a 'full effort' rule was introduced where athletes would receive zero points if they were judged to be not giving their full effort.[17] Scores from the first stage were not carried over to the second stage,[18] and the scoring system in the second stage was also changed due to fewer competitors, with 100 points awarded to the winner of an event, and 75, 55, 35, 15/0 for the second to fifth placings.[19]

Stage 1[edit]

There were two stages in the 2020 CrossFit Games consisting of only the individual events. In the first stage, seven events were held over two days in September where 30 men and 30 women competed from their own gyms or local CrossFit affiliates to determine the five men and women who would compete in the second stage of the finals. Each athlete was judged by a member of CrossFit's seminar staff, and their performances were recorded and sent online to the CrossFit headquarters.[20][21] Four events were held on the first day (September 18),[22][23] three the next (September 19).[24] The seven events were:[25]

  • Friendly Fran – 21 thrusters, 21 chest-to-bar pull-ups (Women 85lb / Men 115lb)
  • 1RM Front Squat – one-rep max front squat in 20 minutes
  • Damn Diane – 15 deadlifts, 15 strict deficit handstandpush-ups (Women 205lb, 2' deficit / Men 315lb, 3.5' deficit)
