Dex Hopkins has qualified three times to the CrossFit Games on a team ... and he's back to do it again in 2023 with Move Fast Lift Heavy.  Dex talks about the construction of the team's roster, how it came to be, his hair, his media work, the team landscape, his thoughts on the Open and more.

Madeline Shelling is headed to the individual elite ranks in 2023 after qualifying for the CrossFit Games the last two years on teams.  One of the elite CrossFitters in New Zealand, she and Marnie Sykes are looking to make big waves in what hopes to be an expanded field of women heading to Madison from Oceania this summer.

Madeline joins the show to talk accents, her trips to the Games, meeting Brooke Wells, her PhD, her culture, why CrossFit is so popular down under and more!

Dana Paran is what we'll call a "reformed weightlifter."  A one-time Olympic hopeful, Paran dabbled in CrossFit before becoming a full-time competitor in 2019, traveling to the Asia CrossFit Championship sanctioned event.  In 2022 she qualified for the Syndicate Crown semifinal before declining her invitation to focus on her own mental health.  Oh, by the way, doctors once told Dana she shouldn't be doing high-level competing like this after shattering her ankle/foot in a fall.  A few weeks ago Dana finished 10th at the Dubai Fitness Championship and is locked and loaded for the 2023 season.
