After veteran CrossFit Games athlete Scott Panchik had to withdraw from the Syndicate Crown Semifinal when he injured his knee during the rope climb event, CrossFit GM of Sport Justin Bergh released an official statement on the injury that Panchik says could have been prevented if the ropes were shorter.

Morning Chalk Up’s Lauren Kalil sat down with PFAA President Brent Fikowski to discuss how this could have potentially been prevented, why it’s imperative to have specific rules and standards outlined, and how the PFAA is working to help.
