Roll Out: Two New Gymnastics Movements Land at the 2026 CrossFit Games

Just when athletes thought they'd mastered every way to defy gravity on the rings, good old Dave Castro pulled another rabbit out of the hat.

Speaking on the Girls Unfiltered podcast, the CrossFit Games mastermind Castro revealed two fresh gymnastics movements set to debut this year: the Forward Roll From Support and the Backward Roll to Support. Both are programmed for Sunday — because nothing says "grand finale" like watching the fittest on Earth try to somersault on a set of rings. Castro dropped the reveal on the podcast and immediately fired it over to Instagram, where a clip of Jacob Marlow and Trista Smith demoing the movements did the rounds. What are they paired with? That's the mystery Castro's keeping in his back pocket for now. All we know is the athletes have roughly two weeks to turn these high-skill rolls from "terrifying" into "routine." Expect equal parts elegance and chaos when Sunday rolls around.
