It was an action packed first day of the 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin. The day kicked off with the first team event, and concluded in the evening with the women’s second individual event.
We knew this year was going to be exciting with the new scoring system and tough cuts, and moving into the second day the field looks quite different. The individual field started with 148 men,134 women, and 14 teams. And after the first event the individual field was cut down to 75 athletes per division. It didn’t stop there, though. After the second cut (Event 2) the individual field dropped to 50 individual men and 50 individual w0men. There will be 11 teams advancing on to Day 2.
