The ROGUE Invitational, Crossfit Sweeps- Mathew Fraser and Tia C. Toomey wins again!
Author: During the weekend that just passed, The ROGUE Invitational crossfit competition was held at Rogue Fitness in Ohio, USA. These races were sanctioned by the organizer of the Reebok CrossFit Games, which means the level of competition was really great! The race featured 20 male and 20 female athletes. Also 10 teams. The specialty was the "Legends" category, which consisted of CrossFit legends. Rogue obviously wanted to make a big show of these races and so most of the athletes were invited. The top 10 athletes from the 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games were invited to compete in the elite categories, and the final spots were filled with athletes who had to pass an online qualifier.
So who was competing?

A new feature at these competitions was a wod - a biathlon in which the athletes had to actually shoot! The well-known manufacturer Concept2 came up with the rifle. With that, Concept and CrossFit may have given us a hint of what could be in store for athletes at the 2019 Reebok Crossfit Games this year!
