MADISON, Wis. – After Coronavirus restrictions forced the Crossfit games to move elsewhere in a restricted capacity during the summer of 2020, they’re back in Madison once again.
Beginning Monday, the games will transform the Alliant Energy Center campus into a world class competition on strength and stamina.
“The week of the Crossfit Games is one part rock concert, one part backyard barbecue, one part Olympic spectacle,” said Crossfit VP Justin Bergh. “It’s a super high energy atmosphere. It’s also very welcoming and kind of inclusive environment where it feels welcoming and friendly.”
Bergh said after a year where many gyms were forced to close, having the event back is significant for a multitude of reasons.
A team of UND faculty and administrators will conduct institutional self-assessment over two years to identify points of inequity among STEM faculty. The self-assessment will not only look for ways to improve the career experiences of faculty members at UND, but potentially for professors and instructors nationwide.

An excited toddler in a pink tutu stands at her open front door in mid-February 2021, shouting with glee: âMommy! Daddy! Mommy! Mommy!â The tiny dancer is Lia Berg, the daughter of Lauren and Justin Berg of Amberley Villageâand the joy she felt came from seeing her mother for the first time since October 4, 2020.
On that fateful October day, with just one minor misstep in an unfamiliar environment, Lauren Shmalo Berg, 37, tumbled down an unlit flight of cellar stairs and suffered a C3-C4 Spinal Cord Injury that, presently, has left her paralyzed from the neck down. Justin, her husband, explains, âAfter hearing her scream, I ran to see if she was okay. She was breathing when I asked her if she could move anything. Lauren answered âNoâ and then she stopped breathing.â After being given CPR, first by Justin and then by the paramedics, she was taken to a local hospital. She required immediate surgery and was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital in
