Bohemian Throwdown 2026 from the Organizer's Perspective

Once again this year, as WORKOUT.EU, we were a proud partner of the Bohemian Throwdown 2026 competition. All competitors received kinesiology tape from us, as well as headbands that we had custom-made specifically for this race featuring the Bohemian Throwdown logo.

Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, we were unable to attend the race in person with a booth this year, which we truly regret. That makes us all the more pleased that we could at least be part of it as a partner and support the competitors and the entire organizing team in this way.

And how does the main organizer, Martin Feiferlik, rate this year’s event? We asked him directly.

How do you assess the races from an organizer’s perspective?
From my perspective, I view this year’s event extremely positively, even though I’m feeling very tired right now. Organizing an event like this involves enormous stress and responsibility, but when you see how everything falls into place on D-Day (or rather, D-Days), it’s an incredibly fulfilling feeling. Of course, there are always minor hiccups behind the scenes that neither the spectators nor the racers see, but overall, everything went smoothly and without major complications. Right off the bat, I’d like to extend a huge thank you to all our sponsors and partners. Without their financial and material support, and especially without their trust in what we do, an event of this scale and quality simply couldn’t be realized.

What kind of feedback have you been getting from the competitors about the competition?
The feedback has been fantastic so far, and honestly, it makes me incredibly happy. Competitors mainly praise the smooth flow of the schedule, the interesting and balanced workout programming, and the overall atmosphere created by the fans in the arena. Of course, we also welcome constructive criticism—every piece of feedback is incredibly important to us.

Are you planning to host the competition again next year?
That’s probably the most common question right now, but honestly, there’s a bit of a question mark hanging over it at the moment. While the competition was a huge success and it’s a labor of love for me, the entire organization is extremely exhausting—both in terms of time and energy. It really takes a lot of effort. Now we need to sit down with the team, take some time to reflect, calmly evaluate everything, and decide what to do next. If we do it again, we want to maintain or even raise our quality standards, so at this point I can’t promise 100% what will happen next year.

What did you like most about this year’s Bohemian Throwdown?
What moved me the most was the incredible community and energy in the arena. That moment when, in the final heat, the athletes are pushing themselves to the limit and the entire hall is on its feet cheering them on... I still get goosebumps thinking about it. And seeing our team in action is always an incredibly powerful experience for me.

How do you see this year’s Bohemian Throwdown compared to previous years?
We noticed that the level of competition was very high this year.
Just as you say, the athletic level rose sharply this year. We managed to attract more international names, which greatly motivated and spurred on our top domestic athletes as well. At the same time, I see a major improvement in the production of the entire event—from the quality of the equipment, through the facilities for the athletes, to the visuals and the stage itself. We’re constantly striving to raise the standard to the top European level.

How many people were involved in organizing the event overall?
Over the entire weekend, there were roughly 50 to 60 people in total. Some might say that’s not exactly a lot for such a large event, and they’d be right. But I’d like to give a huge thank you to our core team, all the volunteers, and the judges. Because when you’re surrounded by people who do this with absolute enthusiasm and put their hearts into it, each one of them is worth three others. We’ve built a great team, and without their incredible hard work, it just wouldn’t have been possible. This race stands on their shoulders.

What was the most challenging part of organizing the race?
Definitely logistics and timing. Coordinating everything so that the heats flow seamlessly into one another, ensuring the right equipment is always on the field, and making sure the athletes know when to be in the warm-up area and when they’re up. Once you fall behind schedule, it snowballs. Maintaining this pace with such a small team on site is simply the hardest task.
Can you imagine the competition having an even larger field of athletes, perhaps on par with the German

Throwdown, where elite teams also compete?
The ambition would certainly be there. We’re growing step by step and don’t want to rush anything at the expense of quality. Adding elite team categories and increasing capacity would require even more space, an extra day of racing, and, of course, a much larger organizing team—and thus even stronger involvement from partners and sponsors. I can imagine it, but as I said in response to previous questions—right now, we first need to evaluate this year and clarify our future path and capacity before we start comparing ourselves to the biggest giants in Europe.

In Conclusion

Looking at the entire weekend, it is clear that Bohemian Throwdown 2026 has once again confirmed its place among the most prominent CrossFit competitions in the country. Behind the great atmosphere, smooth execution, and high level of competition lies a tremendous amount of work that the average spectator often doesn’t even see.

We thank the organizers for their dedication, for the excellently prepared competition, and also for their candid answers in this interview. We are glad that we could be a part of the Bohemian Throwdown as a partner again this year, and we’ll keep our fingers crossed that the event continues to grow in the coming years and brings even more powerful sporting experiences to both competitors and fans.
