The 2024 Italian Showdown will take place from 31 May to 2 June at the Rimini Expo Center with RiminiWellness, the international event dedicated to fitness, sport and movement

Beginners at their very first experience, intermediate competitors and elite athletes play side by side on the same game floor… It’s much more than a race, it’s a fest for thousands of fitness enthusiasts.

No online qualification: just register and take to the field live against your peers in three ability levels. No elimination and no cut: you can give your all and prove yourself until the final workout, without the risk of being eliminated for a test gone wrong.

• Experience (18 years old and over): you don’t have all the skills, usually do Scaled workouts and you like to compete to test yourself; in a workout you are able to move loads of at least 25/40Kg and perform some reps of Pull up and Toes to bar. NO Pistol, NO Muscle up, NO Handstand Push up, NO Double Under.
• Intermediate (18 years old and over): you already have almost all the skills, usually do Rx workouts and you like to compete to overcome your limits; in a workout you are able to move loads of at least 40/60Kg and perform Pull up, Toes to bar, Handstand Push up and Double Under. NO Muscle up, NO Handstand Walk.
• Elite (18 years old and over): you already have all the skills, always do Rx workouts and you can compete against the best athletes; in a workout you are able to move loads of at least 60/80Kg and perform Muscle up, Chest to bar, Toes to bar, Handstand Push up, Handstand Walk and Double Under.
• Master (35, 40, 45, 50 years old): like the Elite, you have all the skills and you are able to compete against the best athletes of your age; in a workout you are able to move loads and perform movements appropriate to your age, according to the Age Group standards of the CrossFit Open.

Please refer to the weights listed above as a minimum requirement for load handling ability, so keep in mind that during the course of the competition you will face unexpected tests of all types, loads and durations.

ATTENTION: for the choice of the Master category, what matters is the age you turn in the year 2024. For example, if you turn 40 in 2024, your category is Master 40, regardless of the day and month you are born.

For the 2024 edition of the Italian Showdown there are 792 slots for three divisions (Team, Individual, Age Group) and 16 categories by skill / gender / age, based on the following updated quotas for direct access to the live competition:

The competition will have a different duration for each category: 1 day for Team Experience and Intermediate, 2 days for Individual Experience, 3 days for Individual Intermediate and Elite and for all age ranges of Age Group.

All athletes will perform all the workouts scheduled for each category, without eliminations and without cuts. The final leaderboard will be based on the scores of all workouts and the top three athletes ranked in each category will get on the podium.

All workouts will be programmed so that they can be performed within a single daily event for each category, with a short break in between or consecutively. Each athlete will be busy only in the morning or only in the afternoon.
