CLOSING THOUGHTS
The 2022 CrossFit season was off to a rocky start when Dave Castro was fired right before the official season began, and we weren't quite sure how things would play out. However, it seems like the shakeup hasn't had a drastic effect on how the events have gone so far.
There's no doubt that more memorable moments are to come as we lead up to the culmination of the sport when athletes come together to battle it out at the CrossFit Games from August 3-7th in Madison, Wisconsin.
