This past weekend over 60 teams competed against each other at the annual Christmas Battle held by Crossfit Banda in order to determine which pair is the fittest heading into winter.
With the worldwide Crossfit Open only 80 days away this competition was a great benchmark to see who is ready and who needs work.
In total the Christmas Battle consisted of:
- 122 participants
- 61 teams (39 male, 22 female)
- 5 events (elite) 4 events (pro)
As Crossfit Banda Arena is the largest Crossfit gym in all of Ukraine and even one of the largest gyms in Kyiv in general, there was plenty of room for spectators, judges, and athletes, which gave the competition the professional feel it always has.
Below we have listed descriptions, results, and pictures of all events.
