2017 CrossFit Games
The 2017 CrossFit Games are the eleventh CrossFit Games and were held on August 3–6, 2017, at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. This was the first Games held outside the state of California. The men's competition was won by Mathew Fraser, the women's by Tia-Clair Toomey, and Wasatch CrossFit won the Affiliate Cup. Fraser won $310,000 for his efforts and Toomey won $298,000 for her title, including bonus for event wins.
This was the first year the Masters 35–39 division was introduced. This was the first CrossFit Games in which a podium finisher in the Individual competition was disqualified for using illegal performance-enhancing substances when Ricky Garard tested positive after the Games were complete. The women's competition had one of the closest finishes in the Games history, when Toomey won by only 2 points over fellow Australian Kara Webb. For the men's competition, Fraser dominated and extended his record winning margin to 216 points over second place Brent Fikowski.
This year CBS Sports started its coverage of the Games on CBS Sports Network with live broadcast and a two-hour show of the main competition every night and a recap show on Saturday, as well as up to 40 hours of live streaming on its digital service.
Over 380,000 competitors participated in this year's CrossFit Open. The Open took place over 5 weeks from February 23 through March 27, 2017, with one workout released each week. A new Masters 35-39 Division was introduced this year. The workouts for the Open were stream live from many locations around the world for the first time. Mat Fraser and Sara Sigmundsdóttir were the respective winner of the men's and women's competitions, Fraser won convincingly with two event wins, while Sigmundsdottir won by only four points over second-place Kari Pearce.
As with previous years, the top athletes from each of the Open Region moved on to 8 Regionals, and all the top men and women who can qualify for the Regionals were required to submitted videos of their performance from the Open, although this year more are required to submit their videos than previous years. The 8 Regionals took place in three consecutive weekends from May 19 to June 4. Most Regionals had 40 men, 40 women and 30 teams competing. The top five men, top five women, and top five teams from each Regional qualified for the Games, giving a total of 40 men, 40 women and 40 teams who qualified for the Games.
The 2017 CrossFit Games were held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin for the first time after seven years at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. This year, minimum work requirements were introduced for two events at the Games: Run Swim Run and Sprint O-Course where athletes would be eliminated if they cannot finish a movement or complete the event within a set time.
Athletes ran to Lake Monona from the Alliant Energy Center, swam around a set of buoys, and then back to the arena. The event was won by Brent Fikowski and Tia-Clair Toomey. Later in 2021, a coach said that Mat Fraser almost drowned during the swim portion of this event, but he was helped by Fikowski.
The event was held nearby in Quann Park and had bikes supplied by Wisconsin-based Trek Bicycle Corporation. The course's obstacles included logs, small wooden hurdles and a sand trap. The event was won by Mat Fraser and Kristin Holte.
