It’s been a week for CrossFit. After rumors started swirling of changes to the staff and the 2019 competitive season, Greg Glassman finally addressed the matter in an interview with Morning Chalk Up, confirming Regionals and the Invitational are no more, along with further changes to the Open and other competitions.
Panic ensued, and even after Rory Mckernan took to Instagram to reassure everyone that everything is going to be okay, there is still a lot of chatter and probably more questions than answers — one of which surrounds director Dave Castro.
There were whispers that Castro and Glassman had a falling out. Did Castro get fired? Would he be replaced? Rest easy, because he isn’t going anywhere. Glassman confirmed to Morning Chalk Up, “He’s the director of the Games. Nothing’s changed. Dave is the perfect person to execute on this vision, the perfect person. He and I are as close as we’ve ever been.”
So, CF fans, Castro isn’t going anywhere. Crisis averted.
