The CrossFit Games 2024 is back, where the top 40 men and women from all over the world will take part in a series of challenges to compete for the title of ‘Fittest on Earth’. For the last six years the Games have been held in Madison, Wisconsin, as well as California, but this year the four-day competition moves to Fort Worth in Texas. 

Last year Hungarian athlete Laura Horvath finally won her first title as the Fittest Woman on Earth, while Canadian athlete, Jeffrey Adler, also became the Fittest Man on Earth for the first time too. But, will they both keep their titles this year? 

All eyes will no doubt be on Six-time winner Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr who’s making her return to the Games and is keen to reclaim her place on the podium, after skipping last year to give birth and care for her daughter. While, on the men's side, 20% of those competing this year have already stood on the podium during their CrossFit careers. We think Roman Khrennikov will be hungry to claim top spot after placing second in 2022 and third last year, despite enduring a foot injury.

Who knows, who will win, you’ll have to watch to find out. Here’s how…
