The Madrid CrossFit Championship and the Lowlands Throwdown have both been postponed, the Sanctionals announced yesterday.
The Madrid CrossFit Championship was the next Sanctional set to take place after the postponement of ten other Sanctionals before it.
“In accordance with the exceptional protocol to prevent the spread of COVID-19 activated by the Spanish health authorities, the Community of Madrid and the Madrid City Council, we have decided to postpone the competition,” wrote the Madrid CrossFit Championship organisation team on Instagram.

The Sanctional was scheduled for May 20-24. The Lowlands Throwdown was set to take place the week after.
“Due to the latest measures that have been taken by the Dutch government, we have no other option than to postpone our final event,” announced the Lowlands Throwdown last night.

New dates for both events are still to be confirmed.

With this announcement, all Sanctionals have been postponed until the beginning of June. Next up is the CanWest CrossFit Championship, scheduled for June 5-7.
