Belgium Showdown
This tournament is open to everyone who does Wods, regardless of level or experience.
Not for the best, but for the rest.
Do you dream of performing a WOD in the middle of a stadium where you are swept up by the audience and the whole entourage? That feeling of your lungs and muscles burning but fired up inside? Unfortunately then the alarm goes… Such a competition is not for you, because you do not belong to the small percentage “Elite” athletes.
You are not the best but you feel great and would love to compete. You are dedicated but others are just better, stronger, fitter or bigger. You have no experience with top competitions, but it seems like an ultimate experience to get there. Is that you? The Belgium Showdown is not for the best, but for the rest!
THE QUALIFIERS
To make it to the finals, you have to do three Qualifier workouts. The Qualifier Workouts do not have to be performed on one day. You can spread them during the qualifier period. If you aim for qualifying for the finals, you have to film your workouts and add a valid link with your score in Competition Corner.
