The 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games are taking place from Tuesday, August 1, to Sunday, August 6, in Madison, WI. The Age Group and Adaptive divisions began on Aug. 1 and will conclude on Aug. 3. Meanwhile, the Team Division begins on Aug. 3 will crown the champions on Aug. 6.

Day One

2-2-2-2 Redux
The first event of the contest splits each team into two male/female pairs . Starting every two minutes: each member from one pair will complete 12/9-calorie SkiErg (M/F) and one seated, legless rope climb (M/F). Teams will then perform max-rep synchronized overhead squats.
When two-minute round is up, the first pair stops working and rests as the second pair begins working for the next two-minute round. Each pair will have to work four rounds, for a total of eight rounds (16 minutes) per team, or to a maximum of 175 overhead squats.
