[2] A record number of entries was reported for this year's Open, with over 415,000 athletes registering to compete.

[3] The Regionals were adjusted this year to reflect the growth of the sport worldwide.

[9] Mat Fraser and Cassidy Lance-Mcwherter were the respective man and woman winner of the Open.

[13] The number of qualifiers to the Games, however, remained the same: 40 men, 40 women and 40 teams.

Athletes had four minutes to make three attempts at each lift for the heaviest weight.

The winning score was the cumulative total of the three heaviest weights in each lift.

[19] The event was won by Royce Dunne (100kg shoulder press, and 213kg back squat, and 256kg deadlift) for the men and by Tia-Clair Toomey (150kg back squat, and 58kg shoulder press, and 188kg deadlift) for the women.

[20] The competitors used a Concept-2 rowing machine to accumulate 42,195 meters, the distance of a marathon, as fast as possible.

With a two-minute cap and five heavier barbells, the top five competitors move on to the final round.

On the SkiErg, burpees, and squats, the athletes were told to move to the next station only when they reached the specified quantity.

Event 10, Bicouplet 2, was won by Willy Georges and Camille Leblanc-Bazinet .

Event 11, Bicouplet 1, was won by Rasmus Andersen and Kara Saunders.

As fast as possible, each competitor performed 50 double-unders with a heavy jump rope and then navigated an obstacle course while walking on their hands.

The obstacles consisted of a pylon slalom, up and down a ramp, up and down stairs, and finished with a handstand walk across a set of parallel bars.

The athletes started with climbing the peg board before moving on the thrusters, a CrossFit movement that is a combination of a front squat and push press in one continuous motion.

Having already secured first place overall in the 2018 Games, Mathew Fraser also finished first for this event.
