What happens when tragedy strikes at one of the most celebrated fitness events in the world? Hear from coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as we tackle the deeply felt repercussions of Lazar Đukić's tragic drowning at the CrossFit Games last year. This heartbreaking incident has not only fractured the CrossFit community but has also led to a substantial dip in Open registrations. Join us as we examine the actions of prominent athletes like Pat Vellner, Annie Thorisdottir, and Chandler Smith, who have stepped back from the 2025 Games season, and understand the ripple effects this has on the sport, both as a business and a community built on personal conviction and diverse viewpoints.The CrossFit community often blurs the lines between leaders and influencers, and we can't help but spotlight Chandler Smith's influential presence. Our time with key figures such as Patrick Vellner and Dave Castro gave us invaluable insights into the intricacies of leadership within CrossFit HQ. These interactions highlighted the camaraderie that the CrossFit Open fosters, even amidst recent turmoil. We explore how these events shape perceptions of CrossFit's leadership and discuss the need for discernment when choosing whom to follow.As the future of CrossFit unfolds, the tension between CrossFit HQ and professional athletes advocating for change is palpable. Our conversation pivots to the evolving relationship between CrossFit affiliates and the overarching brand, stressing the importance of community involvement over competitive edge. We encourage open dialogue and mutual appreciation, urging listeners to consider multiple perspectives. By embracing diverse viewpoints, we can better navigate the challenges of leadership and change within the vibrant world of CrossFit.

General Manager of CrossFit Dave Castro has kicked off a new series of guest programmers for the Workout of the Day on CrossFit.com. CrossFit has published a Workout of the Day every day since 2001. It has evolved to include scaling options and intended stimulus and is designed to be accessible to everyone — the new CrossFit athlete, the seasoned veteran, and anyone in between. This latest guest for .com's programming is Michele Letendre.

Today the crew sits down with one of the fittest men in history, Pat Vellner. They discuss some of the unique traits that make Pat different in the sport and how he's been able to remain a top competitor each year. They talk about what has been different about 2022, why Pat chooses to have a career while he competes, how his training has evolved with his Coach Michelle Letendre and why this is going to be his year to wear the crown "The Fittest on earth". One thing that is clear, Pat's mind and personality are clear traits that have offered a large advantage to him over his years and the reason that after 7 seasons at the top of the sport he is still loving every day. Will this be his year at the top of the podium?
