Rising Orange’s performance in Atlanta earned them a chance to compete for the title “Fittest on Earth,” joining athletes from around the world at The Crossfit Games in California July 21-26. This will be the team’s second appearance at The Games.
To the Crossfit community, The Games is basically the Olympics of their sport and athletes around the world will be tuning in to see who wins. That we have six athletes representing Charlotte is huge. Games coverage will be livestreamed on Crossfit’s website and ESPN in July.
Go get ’em, Rising Orange. Can we borrow your abs?
