Italian Showdown 2026
Italian Showdown 2026 is an independent CrossFit competition in Rimini, listed from Friday 13 November 2026, with Individual and Team divisions. It is Italy's largest functional-fitness competition weekend and it lands in November, after the CrossFit Games season has finished and before the winter Open, which is why it draws athletes who want one more competitive outing in the year.
Rimini is the standard host: the exhibition centre on the Adriatic coast has the hall space for multiple competition floors, and the town has the hotel stock to absorb a few thousand athletes and spectators in the off-season. Bologna airport is about an hour by train.
Qualification and registration go through italianshowdown.it. We hold no results or field-size data for prior editions, so the level of the Individual field is something to check on the organiser's site before you enter.
