Now that CrossFit has announced the new home of the 2024 Games will be Fort Worth Texas, we decided to share our thoughts on the move.

We discuss what we think the positives will be with this new location, as well as what some of the challenges may look like. Overall though, we will say that this looks like a promising new location to test the Fittest On Earth, and we are stoked to see it all play out.
