What You Need To Know
The second live Open announcement represents the middle of the 2024 CrossFit Open, the world’s largest participatory sporting event. The live announcements began 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 in 2021. Here’s what we know about 24.2:
- 24.2 will be presented by GOWOD, the Official Mobility Partner of CrossFit, and takes place in Boise, ID, at CrossFit Shred Shed, a.k.a. Justin Medeiros’ garage gym. (For you CrossFit history buffs, this is not the first Open announcement to take place in a garage. Get that story here.)
- Medeiros, the two-time Fittest Man on Earth, will take on fan-favorite Games veteran Colten Mertens.
- The 24.3 announcement takes place at PRVN HQ in Nashville, TN, on March 14 and will feature a head-to-head battle between Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and Arielle Loewen.
