Is the CrossFit Games a sport… or something bigger? In this episode we break down why the CrossFit Games defy traditional definitions of sport and stand alone as the world’s most comprehensive test of elite fitness. Unlike football, basketball, or even Olympic events, the Games don’t measure who’s best at a single skill—they measure who’s "The Fittest on Earth". From unknown event programming to the raw versatility demanded of athletes, we’ll dive into why the Games aren’t just a competition—they’re a crucible. A proving ground. A battlefield where athletic specialization takes a backseat to adaptability, grit, and pure, functional capacity. This isn’t about scoring points—it’s about navigating the unknown and unknowable. Is it time to stop calling it a sport and start calling it what it really is? Tune in and decide for yourself.
