Belgrade Games Rounds Out Four Weeks in Europe for the B.Friendly Team

After the first ever European Rogue Invitational, Brian is heading to Serbia for the second edition of the Belgrade Games. Originally scheduled for September, the 2024 Belgrade Games was postponed two months following the passing of Lazar Dukic at the CrossFit Games this summer. Accordingly, in addition to being a big competition for the community in Serbia, and a high level competition for the elite categories in Europe, it is also a commemorative event for Lazar this year, and will be an emotional week for everyone involved. 

When: 

This year Belgrade Games in a three-day competition happening on November 15-17.
