CrossFit recently announced three new partnerships that will help grow the CrossFit Games championship competition and create new opportunities to shine a spotlight on athletes across all divisions.

The Legends Championship has been one of the premier events for masters athletes for years. Founders Bob Jennings and Joe Linton have been providing a world class experience and opportunity for masters athletes all over the world. Next year, they will host the championship event for the masters divisions for the 2024 CrossFit Games season.

In 2020, the CrossFit Games team announced that they would be introducing an adaptive division to the CrossFit Games season. Since then it has yet to catch more flak than traction centering around the implementation, available divisions and standards, and lack of in person representation at The CrossFit Games.
Fast forward to 2023, the CrossFit Games have just announced the brand new format for adaptive athletes. New Director of the Adaptive Division and former CrossFit Games Champion Kevin Ogar joins the show. We talk about what went into the decision to make this change and what we can look forward to next year's CrossFit Games season.

The age old question: Does height play a role in the success of a CrossFit Games athlete?
Depending on who you ask and how tall they are, the consensus over the years is that a shorter athlete has the advantage when it comes to success at the CrossFit Games level.
However, this year's finale had the highest average height and weight across all athletes in the history of the CrossFit Games?
Is this a trend? Is it the programming? Are the tides changing? CrossFit Games veteran Dan Bailey joins the show and helps answer the question, "Does height matter at the CrossFit Games?"

What makes someone a professional CrossFit Games athlete and what does it take to become one?Hard Work Pays Off CEO Matt O'Keefe joins hosts Chase Ingraham and Adrian Conway on the show to discuss professionalizing the sport of CrossFit.

The CrossFit Games began as a backyard fitness festival in 2007 on a ranch in Aromas, California.
Within a decade, they had become a worldwide phenomenon with hundreds of thousands of individuals competing in the largest participatory fitness event in the world — the Open — and ending with millions watching our sport's greatest athletes battle to be crowned the Fittest on Earth.
Host Chase Ingraham and three-time CrossFit Games team champion Adrian Conway take a look back at the history of some of the most popular sports in the world to see how they evolved over the years and how long it took them to get where they are today.
Presented by G-SHOCK.

This year the Games will welcome and provide additional access to the competition and beyond to independent third-party creators: Craig Richey, The Buttery Bros, and Sevan Matossian. For years CrossFit produced a “Behind the Scenes” series giving fans a peek behind the curtain and into the lives of the athletes who compete on the big stage under the bright lights. From 2011 to 2017, Matossian was the man behind the camera — with the vision of covering the sport from a different angle. In this episode, Chase Ingraham sits down with him to catch up on his plans for this year's series. #CrossFitGames
