The Background
The live announcements started during the 2013 season and grew in size and popularity through 2018. CrossFit elected not to host live Open announcements during the 2019 and 2020 seasons but returned to host them again starting in 2021.
- 25.1 will be presented by Rogue Fitness, the Official Equipment Supplier of the CrossFit Games, and the live announcement will take place in Cookeville, TN, at CrossFit Mayhem.
How to Watch CrossFit Open Announcement 25.1
Mayhem athletes Roman Khrennikov and Austin Hatfield are on deck to throw down against one another as the first men to tackle 25.1.
- This will be Khrennikov’s third live Open announcement (he was previously featured in 23.2 and 24.3), while it will be Hatfield’s first. The two men finished only seven points apart at the 2024 Games — Krennikov in ninth, Hatfield in 10th.
