Today's show is in 2 parts: First is a discussion with 5 amazing athletes on the 2026 CrossFit Games Calendar and the Second is a short conversation with Joe Linton, the Director of the Masters CrossFit Games discussing the announcement of the selection of the 2026 Masters CrossFit Games in San Jose CA in July.
We organized an incredible group of 2025 Masters Games Athletes to review the 2026 Games calendar with all the expected changes. These include the reinstatement of Quarter Finals; The incentive placed on the quarter finals as they relate to the In-Person Semifinals; The level of international participation in the Senior Masters (55-70+ Age Groups); The loss of qualifying positions at the 2026 Games especially as it relates to the 55-59 Age Groups and the excitement around the Bolder Athlete sponsored Leader Jerseys at the 2025 Legends Championships and what impact it might have on other, future competitions.
Joe Linton discusses some of the reasoning behind the selection of the Masters CrossFit Games moving venues to San Jose CA and more specifically why the event cannot be held at the SAP Center with the Elites.
