The second live announcement of the 2026 CrossFit Open, presented by Air National Guard, features an epic showdown in Portugal!
Open Workout 26.2, presented by Velites, will showcase three of Europe’s best: Lucy Campbell vs. Mirjam von Rohr vs. Aimee Cringle!
On Thursday, March 5, these three elite competitors will face off live from CrossFit Black Edition, the current global leader in Open registrants, with over 400 and counting!
Lucy Campbell
After sitting out the 2023 and 2024 seasons with an injury, Lucy Campbell stormed back onto the scene in 2025, taking fourth in the CrossFit Open, and finishing second at the CrossFit Games. In 2026, she has her sights set even higher: the top of the podium. Is Campbell the favorite to win it all this year?
Mirjam von Rohr
The back-to-back CrossFit Open champ is here to defend her title. Mirjam von Rohr has been dominant in the Open, winning three of the last six Open workouts en route to consecutive Open titles. At the 2025 CrossFit Games, she also found success, finishing seventh overall and winning the 1RM Back Squat event. Will she be able to complete the Open hat trick in 2026?
Aimee Cringle
In her rookie season at the 2024 Games, Cringle took 13th place. In the 2025 Open, Cringle finished 14th overall. This upward trajectory carried into the Games, where she took eighth place overall and had four top-5 event finishes. Heading into 2026, can Cringle continue her ascension, this time to the CrossFit Games podium?
