Tanner Powell
Event Manager
Tanner is an ex-army American who moved to Germany just over 5 years ago. He currently coaches (CF L2) and trains at Dein CrossFit and CrossFit Parsdorf.
Tanner has been involved with the CF Events a number of years now, from the Dutch Throwdown to the Swiss Throwdown and several events in between.
And finally he simply enjoys the excitement of competition. From building up the crowd, to seeing the emotions go through people and fans.
Joost Prinsen & Karen Tovmasjan
Founders of CF Events
We have been organising fitness events for more than 7 years now. We enjoy seeing athletes compete in their first competition and are very grateful to do this together with our management teams, staff, and volunteers. We are looking forward to giving you and our athletes a memorable experience.
Derek & Margay
Media Managers
Derek, known as @wodphotography, serves as the Director of Media, while Margay is the Media Director & Marketing. Together, we took on the challenge of building the CF Events concept, starting in 2021 when we partnered with Karen and Joost to take over the Dutch Throwdown. That marked the beginning of an exciting journey that has continued to grow since.
In our roles, we manage the entire media experience for all our events, ensuring everything aligns with our shared vision. Margay oversees daily media operations, while Derek leads the media team with photography, videography, and graphic design. On event days, we guide a talented media crew to capture every moment and share the energy and excitement of each throwdown.
We’re excited for what’s next and can’t wait to continue building unforgettable experiences!
