Here at Denver Box Life, we’re generally concerned with what’s happening in Colorado, in terms of CrossFit, the people of CrossFit (their insane stories), and area competitions.
But when we see one of our own (or two or four or ten) reach international status in our favorite sport, we pay attention.
Here’s what you need to know about Colorado competitors at the 2018 CrossFit Games:
How BackCountry CrossFit ended up going to the Games

Two individual competitors to watch

It was a close call at Regionals, but Omnia made the cut. We found out what’s changed since we wrote about them last year for our inaugural post. Read the update.
Ten Colorado Masters Athletes made it to the Games
They’re from all over the state and have varying occupations, from rancher and retired wrestling coach to pilot to Air Force veteran. Read more.
