The CrossFit Open unites hundreds of thousands of athletes around the world to compete in the world's largest participatory sporting event in history. The 2021 season kicks off March 11 with the three-week CrossFit Open. Registration is live. Both the men’s and women’s competitions feature heavy favorites at the 2019 CrossFit Games (Jul. 4, Madison, WI). On the men’s side, three-time defending champion Mat Fraser is an odds-on favorite at -264. On the women’s side, two-time defending champion Tia-Clair Toomey is the chalk, but is at plus money (+130) due to stiff competition from several former champions from Iceland. So, this could be partly telling of what’s to come but it’s important to consider that 2019 is a different year for CrossFit altogether as a lot of things have changed and now the Open is a direct qualifier, which can affect the seeding of an athlete going into the CrossFit Games. So the stakes are a little higher.

Rich Froning Jr. competed in his debut CrossFit Games in 2010, where he
finished in second place. The following year, Reebok became the primary sponsor
of the event and inflated the winner’s purse by ten times. Froning got over the
hump, winning his first “Fittest in the World” title. He became CrossFit’s first
repeat champion in 2012, a record he continued for an additional two years,
making him a four-time champ and all-time great. Rich’s success ran parallel with the growth of the competition, having his
best performances just as Reebok was getting involved and the contest began
being televised on ESPN. That makes Froning the CrossFit world’s Magic Johnson
or Larry Bird in a way (the premier talent just as the league or sport was
starting to gain widespread recognition).
