“There are lots of great voices out there in the community that have great things to say, and it’s making sure we get some of the most constructive and most challenging voices at the table so that we’re making good decisions that’ll stick.” — Justin Bergh on the new Divisional Athlete Committee (minute 20:56).

CrossFit Competition Director Adrian Bozman and General Manager of Sport Justin Bergh join Chase Ingraham on the podcast to recap Week 1 of Semifinals.

Three live Semifinal competitions kicked off this past weekend — the Torian Pro, Syndicate Crown, and the CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown.

Bozman and Bergh share their favorite moments from the competitions, address Scott Panchik’s injury, and clarify the top five team announcement mix-up at the CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown.

The duo also explain the role of the Competition Liaison at Semifinals and unveil the Divisional Athlete Committees (DAC) — a new council of athletes from all divisions dedicated to providing feedback to continue improving the athlete experience.
