Swiss Throwdown "Team Edition"

Swiss Throwdown "Team Edition"


SWISS THROWDOWN 2022 - The largest live competition for functional fitness in Switzerland

360 athletes, 100 judges and over 1,000 spectators throughout the weekend. The final of the SWISS THROWDOWN "Team Edition" will take place in Lucerne on April 23 and 24, 2022 - the largest live competition for functional fitness in Switzerland.

This year's edition will be an unprecedented experience in the history of the Swiss CrossFit scene for athletes and spectators alike. The aim of the event is to offer everyone the greatest possible benefit. That is why  cross equip will have a fully equipped, 70 square meter open training area available at the venue. For the very first time in the country, "Goliath", the most massive Swiss made competition rig, will be used and there is a hefty prize to be won in the "Goliath Hang Challenge".

"GOLIATH" THE SWISS MADE COMPETITION RIG

28 meters long, 5 meters high, 4.2 meters deep - Goliath was designed and produced in Switzerland and requires 4.8 tons of steel, 500 linear meters of pipe and 650 screws that must be tightened for the complete construction.

"We wanted to create something that makes the heart beat faster and makes the impossible possible. So the question was: How can we give the athletes more...more opportunities, more adrenaline, more performance and most importantly, how can we give back to our community what you give us every day through your support? So we built it." (Felix, CEO of cross equip)

It will be installed for the first time at the Swiss Throwdown on April 23-24, 2022 and will be seen at other events in Switzerland this year. The premiere will be celebrated with a BOOM, so come along too!


HOW IT WORKS

The training area has space for 6 people/slot. A slot lasts 30 minutes and spectators and athletes can register for a maximum of two consecutive slots. The cross equip team is available to register for a slot at the cross equip stand. Places are limited, so registering early in the morning is an advantage.

Refreshments will be provided by beverage partner Nutriathletic.

Jonas Müller will provide exciting workouts. He will be offering training sessions on the floor over the course of the two days, and you can also register for slots for these sessions.


THE OPEN GYM

The fully equipped, 70 square meter open OPEN GYM offers a training area for spectators and athletes, with the possibility of having one or more training sessions between competitions.

The CrossFit Master Qualifiers can be held in the Open Gym!

The rope climb workout can be carried out on the "Goliath" rig until Saturday evening at around 6:00 p.m. Please bring your own judges.
