WEIGHTLIFTING Craig Richey Wins the Weekend [Craig Richey]( Image: @carrichey on Instagram Craig Richey of TeamRICHEY YouTube fame — a channel that covers the current events, athletes, and news in the CrossFit space — competed at the 2022 British Senior Weightlifting Championships at the Derby Arena in Derby, England, on January 29, 2022. Richey weighed into the 89 kg weight class and his prowess with a barbell [earned him the gold medal]( with a 291 kg total. Richey intends to compete next in local events that don’t require him to peak, so he can acquire more experience in competition, improve his timing in each lift, and better his ability to “curve the nerves.”    mailto:?subject=%F0%9F%8F%8B%EF%B8%8F%20Another%20shake%20up%20at%20CrossFit&body=%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20BarBend%27s%20newsletter%20for%20all%20the%20latest%20news%20from%20fitness%20community.%20__s=s54a3u1vmp5xzj41089k --------------------------------------------------------------- CROSSFIT Erir Roza Moves to Board Chairman [Eric Roza]( Image: @rozaeric on Instagram CrossFit has experienced yet another shakeup to its leadership.
