Inside The Red Sea Games — Saudi Arabia’s Biggest CrossFit Competition 🇸🇦

In this episode of Stump Station, we dive behind the scenes of the Red Sea Games, one of the biggest CrossFit competitions in Saudi Arabia, held in Jeddah.

What does it actually take to organise a major fitness competition?

From athlete selection and programming workouts to the growth of the CrossFit community in Saudi Arabia, we break down the real story behind the event.

We also discuss an important topic:
Why are there still so few Saudi athletes competing in the RX division?

As the sport grows rapidly in the Kingdom, the goal is to see more Saudi athletes competing, representing the country, and pushing the level of fitness forward.
