Liepāja Throwdown 2026

On 21 November, the Liepāja Olympic Centre will host a full day of strength, speed and endurance competitions: “Liepāja Throwdown 2026”. The event will bring together functional fitness athletes across different skill and age categories. Spectators can look forward to dynamic competitions in which athletes test their strength, endurance, speed and overall physical fitness by completing a range of functional fitness challenges. The programme includes three WODs (competition workouts) and a final. Athletes will learn the third WOD and the final workout only on the day of the competition.

One of this year’s new features is a pairs competition, with men’s and mixed pairs taking part. These events should be especially interesting to watch: athletes will need not only to share the workload and choose the right tactics, but also to work together and, in some challenges, move in sync.

This year, the competition area will also feature a larger functional fitness rig, allowing more athletes to compete at the same time and making the event even more dynamic. Throughout the day, spectators can watch athletes in the Rookie, Sport and Masters divisions, as well as pairs competing for the top places. The best competitors will also vie for the traditional travelling Strength Cup, and the total prize fund will reach €3,000 this year.

Event time: 21 November, 9:00–21:00
Venue: Liepāja Olympic Centre, Brīvības Street 39
