The Torian Pro, one of the ten 2025 CrossFit Games In-Person Qualifying Events (IPQEs) and the premier event in the Oceania region, kicks off this weekend at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane, Australia.
Additionally, three other IPQEs are happening around the globe this week: the Rebel Renegade Games in South Africa, the Far East Throwdown in Busan, Korea, and the Syndicate Crown in Knoxville, TN, USA. After this week, only the Northern California Classic and the Last Chance Qualifier will remain in early and mid-June, respectively.
Celebrating its tenth year, the Torian Pro has a storied history. This year, two men and two women will earn tickets to the 2025 CrossFit Games in Albany, NY, this August and join an almost full roster of athletes.

Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr
Without a doubt, one of the most important things to know heading into the Torian Pro is that Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr will be competing for what might be her last time as an elite individual athlete.
She has hinted at retirement but hasn’t made an official announcement.
The seven-time Fittest Woman on Earth posted back in April that she would say goodbye at the Torian Pro. But it’s never over until it’s really over, right?

If you've ever tried tracking your nutrition, you know it can feel like a part-time job. The measuring cups, the food scale, the constant app checking—it's enough to make anyone question whether it's worth the effort.
As a nutritionist who has guided numerous clients through this process and as someone who has recently developed a nutrition tracking app, I can assure you that weighing and measuring are effective, but only when done correctly.
Whether you're trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply gain a better understanding of your relationship with food, avoiding some common pitfalls will save you time and frustration.
Let's outline the five biggest mistakes people make when weighing and measuring their food.

Did the CrossFit Games Flash Sale Deliver? Here’s What We Know

Last week, CrossFit announced it would hold a “48-Hour Flash Sale” on select CrossFit Games tickets, offering a 40% discount off the original price.
The post read: “48-Hour Flash Sale — Get 40% Off CrossFit Games Tickets! For the next 48 HOURS ONLY, grab your tickets to the 2025 CrossFit Games at an unbelievable 40% OFF! Now through Friday, May 23, at 12 p.m. PT.”
When the sale was announced, we recorded the number of tickets available in the select sections on the seating map for the MVP Arena as a baseline for the total number of tickets to be sold during the 48-hour window.
Some details: Based on our analysis of Ticketmaster’s seating map, just over 2,700 tickets were available in the select sections offered in the sale.
Note: The 40% off sale did not include the lower and upper bowl sections around the finish line area.
With this discount, the ticket price for the lowest-priced option dropped from $324.80 to $199.80. The cost for the best available seats decreased from $796.35 to $482.75.
