- Italian Showdown
Ten record years
The 2025 Italian Showdown celebrated its 10th anniversary with another sold out, athletes of all ages and levels from all over the world and 500K contacts
The new competition format introduced this year, based on age groups from 18 to over 60 in each of the three ability divisions, made even more accessible with standards and requirements calibrated to the most common characteristics of those who attend CrossFit classes, has encouraged the participation of athletes of all levels from all over Italy and the rest of the world.
Several athletes have arrived from the United States, Europe and Eastern countries. In the Rx division, already established athletes, even at an international level, have competed to win the overall title and cash prizes. But the Intermediate and Beginner divisions resulted the most attractive for most fans, many of them at their first experience on a game floor.


The most relevant CrossFit® event in Italy
All athletes were able to enjoy a truly extraordinary competition experience, thanks to a very punctual organization, a warm-up area of over 1.000 square meters with 24 individual stations and a 1.000 square meter game field with 24 lanes 17-meter long, fully equipped by Xenios USA and specifically designed for workouts with moving forward flow.
As always, no cuts and no eliminations until the end of the competition, so all athletes remained on the field to compete live from the first to the last day. The workouts of this edition were challenging but with skills and loads appropriate to the different ability levels, which allowed everyone to get involved and fight until the last rep!
The next appointment is for 29-30-31 May 2026 for the eleventh edition of the Italian Showdown, again at RiminiWellness…Registrations from January 1st on the official website!
