Through an Instagram Post CrossFit Games competitor Chandler Smith said a meeting was held Thursday afternoon with Games’ athletes to decide if the competition should continue.
GrossFit organizers haven’t posted officially yet, it was though conveyed by the post.
After this decision Smith said that personally he did not agree with the decision to continue the event and competition as if nothing has happened.
Still smith added “I couldn’t in good conscience personally advocate for continuing, but I also knew it was wrong to make that decision for the number of athletes who aren’t affected similarly.”
He continued “I’m fortunate enough not to need the prize money from the Games, but I also know that my situation is not a reality for everyone and, as such, did not want to unfairly influence others to lose out on their livelihood.” “I will forfeit any prize money I make this year and instead donate to theΒ ΔukiΔ familyΒ in his honor.”
