So many of us are angry. That’s not going away anytime soon. Because it was gross negligence.

It could have been Mat in 2017 if Brent had not been there to pull him up.

I'd like to hear more about the "volunteer culture" in the sport. It doesn't seem in line with professionalization of CrossFit, even if it's something that feels like it's community driven.

Thanks for making this interview. Nice to hear from him.

Each athlete is responsible for their own health and safety prior, during, and after a race. If a coach, or an athlete has a safety concern of an event they need to express that concern strongly to event organizers.

I don’t think that happened. All people involved held their tongues and now looking back are feeling guilty because no one said anything.

The biggest issue I believe was the water temperature being too hot. These athletes hit the water red hot and once in the water they couldn’t cool off.

So much leadership and wisdom provided with your words, go do everything you can to keep those athletes safe and to have no more tragedies in the sport 🫡

A week later it feels very much like there's a sharp divide emerging. A side of athletes who want answers, who want this to result in the CrossFit organization to become more professional, more responsive to the athletes, more accountable. And a side of athletes, podcasters, organizers, coaches who see this threatening CrossFit's very existence or at the very least, the current CrossFit leadership.

Matt O'Keefe is being a gentleman. He knows the real elephant in the room but is too kind to single him out.
