The Demo Team for the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games has been announced. The three men and three women will help Adrian Bozman (and Dave Castro) fine tune the individual and team workouts for the CrossFit Games. So safe to say that these six athletes will be put through the ringer to ensure what we see on the competition floor is top notch.
In total, there are 12 combined years of CrossFit Games experience among the six athletes, both from an individual and team perspective. Each athlete brings a unique skillset that will help Bozman best utilize them to test the events. From Prevost’s insane deadlift ability to Roelle’s top-end strength and power to Hoffer’s outstanding gymnastics skills, this year’s Demo Team is well-suited to practice the events.
So without any further delay, let’s take a look at the six members of the 2023 CrossFit Games Demo Team…
