The 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games will take place Aug. 3-6, at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
This year, the CrossFit Games will be easier to watch than ever. New season-long partnerships with Facebook and CBS Sports will mean that fans worldwide can watch the entire competition online for free, with additional televised coverage before, during and after the event. Additionally, the CBS Television Network will air a one-hour live look into the competition on Aug. 5, and a highlight show on Aug. 19, both at 1 p.m. ET.
“The CrossFit Games has gained two powerful and enthusiastic partners in CBS and Facebook,” said Justin Bergh, General Manager of the Games. “Our community has the respect and support of the largest social-media network in the world and the most watched television network in the world. Both understood how important it is that we craft a unique coverage plan that meets the needs of our global community. This begins with the Games in Madison, but they are both committed to raising the bar for fans, athletes and affiliates year-round."
Once the Games begin, fans can tune in to watch the entirety of the individual, team, masters and teen competitions live on the CrossFit Games website and on Facebook. In addition, CBS Sports Digital will stream up to 40 hours of live event coverage of teams and individuals on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app.
CrossFit will use Facebook update groups to let people know when events are live, so be sure to join and set your notifications so you don't miss the best action. Known events and times will be scheduled in advance, and the Studio team will be breaking live announcements as they happen on site. For full schedule information, download the CrossFit Games app (coming soon) or visit Games.CrossFit.com.
Please note the Games will take place in Central Standard Time.
New for 2017: Televised coverage will be moving to CBS and CBS Sports Network. The move will mean an unprecedented amount of coverage before, during and after the Games.
Once the Games are underway, fans can catch two hours of competition coverage on CBS Sports Network at the end of each day, Aug. 3-6, starting at 10 p.m. ET. And don’t miss the live coverage on Saturday on CBS Television at 1 p.m. ET or digitally on CBS All Access.
The CrossFit Games stream is available for free on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App for mobile and connected TV devices (OTT). OTT devices with the CBS Sports App include Roku, Apple TV (3rd gen. and 4th gen.), Amazon Fire TV, Xbox One and Windows 10. No authentication or sign-in is required to view this stream on any device. CBS Sports Network is widely available through all major cable, satellite and telco distributors.

You will be able to watch Joey compete on https://games.crossfit.com/
Now let's get to know a bit about Joey Kimdon the CrossFit Games athlete:
Interview by Jamie McMahon
-For those that don’t know you, could you give us a brief background about yourself?
I grew up in Minnesota (Stillwater High School -- go Ponies!) and did high school gymnastics, track, and cross country as well as flute and choir. I went to Harvey Mudd College in southern California for a double major in engineering and mathematics, which is where I met David, and we started doing long-distance running, backpacking, bike-camping, windsurfing, and backcountry ski patrol. I also ran Division III track there. We moved to the bay area where I did my PhD at the University of California at Berkeley in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and David started working for Devicescape, Inc. (which he still does via telecommuting). In 2007, we moved to Corvallis to join a cohousing community. We have two kids, ages 8 and 11, whom I homeschool. I started playing cello and re-started gymnastics when my youngest was a little over a year old.
-What kind of training did you do before Crossfit?
I did gymnastics, ran track and marathons and ultramarathons. I'd also done backcountry skiing and windsurfing.
-How/when did you get started with Crossfit and Crossfit Train?
I tried following main site on my own and with a few friends for a while, but I had no idea what I was doing. My lifts were unrecognizable as what they were supposed to be, and I tried and tried to do a ring muscle up and thought that 30 for time (well, even 30 in a single day) was the ultimate almost-unattainable goal. I joined Train in Sept 2013, and that's when I really discovered the magic of the whole CrossFit package. A year later my husband David started coming, and now my mom Barb comes as well!
-Does Crossfit help you outside of the gym in your day to day life?
I think being healthy, working toward goals, and working hard with friends really improves my whole life. My mood is more consistent, I enjoy life more, am more confident, and I feel like I can handle setbacks better. I like modeling a healthy lifestyle for my kids, and hopefully I'll live longer and be able to spend more years with my family. Plus, the research says that exercise makes you smarter and reverses some of the effects of aging.
Sean will be going to Madison with Joey as her Coach!
-What is your least favorite Crossfit movement and why? What is your favorite?
Least favorite has to be wall balls (mostly because I am short) followed closely by rowing and airdyne, where being small is also a disadvantage. My favorites are probably chest to bar pullups, muscle ups, deadlifts, lightweight barbell cycling, and running. And burpees. I love burpees.
-When did you decide you wanted to be a competitive athlete?
I assume you mean competitive CrossFit. I watched a local competition (maybe it was the WODtoberfest) in the fall of 2013, and it was so exciting. The whole time I just wanted to be out there competing.
-Do you have any advice for someone wanting to become more competitive with their training?
Don't underestimate the power of the dark side, er, I mean of the importance of mobility, positioning, and technique work. You can improve your lifts and times through efficiency of movement.
-What does it mean to you to be competing at the Crossfit Games?
I am super stoked because this has been a goal for me ever since my first Regionals in 2014. When I went to watch in 2015, again I kept wishing I was out there competing.
-How long have you been training to go to the Games? Has your training changed at all now that you are headed to the Crossfit Games?
I started serious training with Brooke in the summer of 2014. Then I had a setback in 2015 with my knee surgery, but Brooke continued to train me through Regionals 2016. I worked with Chris on weightlifting through the summer of 2016. Now I am following CompTrain Masters, plus things given to me by Sean, targeting my weaknesses. When it's not right before the Games, I like going to classes too. Training has changed in the last few months to include some different things such as swimming and odd object work. Also we have been focusing more on conditioning lately rather than strength.
-What are your thoughts on the already announced Games events?
I am super excited about the run-swim-run since I love to run, and I've been working on my swimming, so that will be a fun challenge. The bike event I'm thinking they might not do for the master's, but if they do, it will be my first bike race, though I bike all the time. And I can't wait for the obstacle course - how fun! I hope there's some gymnastics in it. And the snatch, well, yeah. Not my forte, but oh well.
-How is it different competing at the Crossfit Regionals as an individual vs. on a team? What are the major differences?
The biggest thing is the different need for communication. When I'm in the middle of a WOD, often my brain turns inward, so it was a challenge to be able to accurately assess how I can best benefit the team and then communicate that in the moment. Also on the worm, I was on the farthest end from the speaking judge, so most of the time I had no idea what was going on.
-Do you follow any sort of diet regimen while training?
I try to be close to paleo, though that is hard when cooking for kids at the same time. I have several food allergies, so that provides extra motivation to eat clean.
-When you are in the middle of a really hard, gruesome workout, what do you think about that keeps you going?
I try to remember that I like this and it's fun and cool that I get to do it. Also I try to focus on the technique of whatever I'm doing, and that helps keep my mind off of the pain.
-What do you hope to accomplish at the Games?
I want to feel good about the effort I put into each event. I want to be able to say I gave it my best. I'm excited to experience the Games so that I can do even better next year. I also want to scare the other girls and make them work for it. Plus I'm looking forward to meeting even more women who share my idea of fun. :-)

WOD: 7/24/17
