“I think having different programming at each event can add a lot of color to the season. … I think by allowing the events to have some events that they program that are specific to their region or location or the community can … make it interesting to watch and be a part of. And in saying that, I think it’s really cool to have some standardized events. (They) will allow analysts … and the athletes and coaches themselves to be able to kinda get a sense of where everybody’s at and compare apples to apples.” — Mike Towner, co-competition director of the Torian ProSemifinal competition directors Mike Towner and Johno Snape of the Torian Pro, Robbin Stalma of the CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown, and Wilson Pak of the Syndicate Crown join Chase Ingraham on the podcast to discuss the CrossFit Semifinals stage.The group talks about the excitement of live competition, having top athletes take the floor surrounded by the CrossFit community, and what spectators can look forward to at each Semifinal.They also open up about challenges with planning and programming for their competitions, and offer their opinions on the two events programmed by CrossFit this year.Tune in to learn more about what it takes to put on a CrossFit Semifinal.Purchase your tickets for the CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown, the Syndicate Crown, and/or the Torian Pro here: https://games.crossfit.com/semifinals/overview."
