The 2023 CrossFit Games are just around the corner, as the competition is set to be held from August 1-6 in Madison, Wisconsin. The CrossFit team is currently fully occupied with preparing for their biggest competition of the year. In addition, the CrossFit administration has now experienced a few changes as well. This news comes as Justin Bergh has left CrossFit Inc. Thus, it was time for a new Sports Team Leader to be appointed and who better to pick up the role than Dave Castro, who is a familiar face on the scene.

The news of Justin Bergh’s departure was revealed through an internal email by the CEO of CrossFit himself, Don Faul. However, he did not reveal what the reason for this decision was, but instead just thanked Bergh for his dedication

“After 13 years, Justin Bergh will be leaving CrossFit. JB has done so much for our community and we’re incredibly grateful for the role he’s played in making CrossFit what it is today.”

With a natural leader needed to take Bergh’s place and Dave Castro fit in perfectly as the new CrossFit Sport Team leader.

Justin Bergh was a part of the CrossFit team for 13 years, practically being one of the most important people in the development of what the sport looks like today. The large portion of his mandate was spent addressing day-to-day business operations, everything regarding the CrossFit Games, media coverage, and more. So, Dave Castro looks to take up a lot of work with his new position.

Currently, it is unclear whether Dave Castro will continue to lead the CrossFit Sport Team permanently or only until the 2023 CrossFit Games. Regardless, Dave will look to do as good of a job as possible and make the biggest event of this year enjoyable for everyone. Only six weeks remain until the competition takes place and it is hoped that they will be as entertaining as every other stage of this season has been. One is certain, a new women’s champion will be crowned after a six-year reign of Tia-Clair Toomey.
