The third and final live announcement of the 2026 CrossFit Open is heading to Gymreapers Wodapalooza!

Open Workout 26.3, presented by roguefitness, will feature Danielle Brandon vs. Arielle Loewen vs. Olivia Kerstetter!

On Thursday, March 12, three of the fittest athletes in the world will descend upon Miami Beach to throw down at Gymreapers Wodapalooza.

Athletes:
🏋️‍♀️ daniellebrandon7
Danielle Brandon, a seven-time CrossFit Games competitor, has been one of the top athletes in the Sport of Fitness for years. However, a CrossFit Games podium finish has eluded her. At the 2022 Games, Brandon finished fourth overall.  Last year, Brandon once again just missed out on the podium, finishing fourth at the 2025 Games. Is this the year Brandon finally breaks into the top three?

🏋️‍♀️ arielleloewen
Arielle Loewen, a five-time CrossFit Games athlete, knows what it takes to stand on the Games podium, finishing third overall in 2023. Last year, Loewen finished fifth at the Games, with an event win in Throttle Up. Balancing life as a mother and an elite athlete, Loewen is one of the best in our sport, and in 2026, she’s looking to make another run at the podium.

🏋️‍♀️ oliviakerstetter
Olivia Kerstetter is the young gun of this group, but don’t let her youth fool you; she’s the fittest 20-year-old on Earth. At the 2025 Games, only her second CrossFit Games as an individual, Kerstetter finished third overall. Kerstetter is no stranger to success at the highest level. She took first place at the Games in both the Girls 14-15 and 16-17 age groups. Now in 2026, Kerstetter is ready to repeat that success, this time in the elite indy division.
