Title: Crossfit in the Olympics.... how long before?
Post by: BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT on September 21, 2017, 03:34:38 PM
So....how long until Crossfit competitions are an Olympic sport? Was talking to a decathlete who competed in the World Games many ages ago and he said that talk of it happening is solid. Many expect it to happen by the 2028 Games....especially if in L.A.

Lots of the elite level ones stand no chance at passing.
If there's money on the line and they arent testing--you could prob smell the Halo from the locker room.

Crossfit will be in the special olympics before they're in the real olympics.

Isn't it already kind of in the Olympics? Weight lifting (snatch and clean and jerk). Sure, the crossfitters generally do it wrong and unsafely and added stupid-ass kipping pullups and whatever else. But isn't the base of it Olympic weight lifting?

It looks to be a combination of several different things including Olympic weightlifting.

Crossfit will never become an Olympic sport though. The IOC tend to dislike the sports that have a high amount of drug use since it taints the image they want to convey. Last thing they'll do is add a sport in which there is a strong chance that many of the athletes end up testing positive. It's the same reason why powerlifting won't get added.
