This question has polarised responses on whether CrossFit is not a sport. Nevertheless, here’s a useful answer, founded upon the definition<\/span> of ‘sport’ by the Oxford English Dictionary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CrossFit, by its own merit, is recognised as a sport because it fulfils the parameters of the definition of ‘Sport’. Namely, “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes<\/em>“. Much of the emphasis of CrossFit gravitates largely around competition and its entire philosophy and methodology rest on physical exertion and skill. Thereby, it does in fact qualify as a sport. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n This is the strap-line and a large proportion of the brand of CrossFit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s the public and ever-growing competitive side of the brand, where each year CrossFit LLC seeks to find the ‘Fittest on Earth’ <\/em>by a series of tests from a pool of athletes who earned a ticket to compete at the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The right to compete at the finals (The Crossfit Games<\/a>) is by way of competing at the CrossFit Open, quarter-finals, and semi-finals \/ CrossFit sanctioned events such as this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanctioend CrossFit Events are those which have been approved by CrossFit LLC to be utilised by the highest level athletes as a means to access the CrossFit Games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These replaced the CrossFit Regionals, whereby the winners and or podium finishers of the competition punch a ticket to The CrossFit Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a total of 21 Sanctional Events held all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To read about Greg Glassman’s sacking off of regionals, check out this Best Gym Hacks article here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n“The Sport of Fitness”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
