22.1 Open Announcement Highlights

For the first time since the 2020 CrossFit Open, spectators were welcomed back to live Open-announcement showdowns with Open Workout #22point1. And to kick off the 2022 CrossFit Games season, the event took place at the brand-new CrossFit media studio in Boulder, Colorado.

With a fresh dusting of snow outside, a room electrified with spectators from Home Office and neighboring gyms, and thousands of athletes from around the world tuning in, the CrossFit community gathered together to honor a tradition that has been a staple since 2013.

As the views racked up on the livestream and the crowd lined up around the arena, CrossFit threw in an extra surprise to kick off the first workout. Five-time Fittest Woman on Earth Tia-Clair Toomey was given the honor of announcing 22.1 to the world live from Nashville, Tennessee.

At promptly 12 p.m. PT, Toomey tore open the hand-delivered, sealed envelope and released the first workout of the 2022 Open.

Let the games begin.
