What is the TYR CUP?
The TYR Cup is a 3-day competition. Teams are made up of 8 athletes, 4 men and 4 women.
It's a head-to-head of just 2 teams: North America versus the rest of the World.
How are athletes selected?
The only way to participate is by receiving an invitation from the organization. These will be sent according to the position of the world ranking of CrossFit Games.
Teams will be composed of 8 athletes, 4 men and 4 women.
World Selection: Athletes born outside of Canada, the United States or Mexico.
North American selection: Athletes born in Canada, USA or Mexico.
TYR WZA will invite 3 men and 3 women from each team. Each team will have a captain and a female captain. Once the captains are decided, they must choose the remaining male and female to complete the team.
