Lazar Ðukić died during the CrossFit Games. It was a tragedy that follows a history of negligence on behalf of CrossFit, and Alex and Meredith sit down to reflect back on their experience as CrossFit athletes as well as previous occurences where athletes put their lives on the lines for points. They delve into the emotional impact on the community, safety concerns, and the controversial decision to continue the games. This episode not only honors Lazar by shining a light on the way he passed away, but also advocating for change so no other athlete or family member has to suffer such a loss. If you were moved by Lazar’s death, Alex and Meredith share how to best cause a disruption in CrossFit including writing directly to brands and sponsors to hold accountability by threatening their bottom line. Athletes deserve protection, and to be able to compete without their lives hanging in the balance. We here at Afternoon Snack honor Lazar Dukic's memory, and urge whoever want to and are able to donate to The Lazar Ðukić Support Fund so that his family can get the support they need during this time.
