Which Athlete Has Done the Most Live Announcements?

March 15, 2018 by

The CrossFit Open was first introduced in 2011, but CrossFit HQ didn’t start broadcasting live announcements until 2013. Since then, these head-to-head UFC style matchups have featured some of CrossFit’s most notable athletes and a few up-and-comers.

After six years of live announcements, here are all the athletes who’ve participated and which athletes have showed up the most.
