Barcelona Throwdown
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 Barcelona Throwdown is not for the best, but for the rest!
THE CATEGORIES
The Barcelona Throwdown has three different levels to compete in: Scaled, Advanced and RX. For the youngsters we have the kids and teens divisions.
