This week, CrossFit Games revealed their new app, where you can easily get leaderboard updates, track your own rankings and stay up-to-date on workouts and movements. It’s the latter of the three that especially has people talking. CrossFit announced the app in their Instagram Stories. In it, they show one page revealing what could be movements for 18.1 and 18.4 — except they scribbled out the images using one of the art tools, seemingly to hide any clues as to what the events will look like. However, when you go to the app store preview, it shows the images unedited, possibly revealing some of what we’ll see in the Open this year.

18.4 appears to be an athlete at the bottom of a front squat — which could mean squats, cleans or thrusters. In the 18.1 image, the athlete is hanging from a pull-up bar, indicating pull-ups, chest-to-bars, bar muscle-ups or toes-to-bar.

Could these images be the real deal? Maybe. That would explain why they scribbled them out on Instagram. Then again, could it also be a move to get more buzz going? Also very possible. Dave Castro has thus far remained tight-lipped regarding any hints about movements, although he did confirm the dumbbell weights for the Open. Aside from that, we don’t know much about what the Open has in store for us.

Stay tuned!
