Last night while on the Girls Unfiltered podcast, Dave Castro revealed two new movements that will make their debut at the 2026 CrossFit Games. The Forward Roll From Support and the Backward Roll to Support will be programmed on Sunday of this year’s CrossFit Games.
Castro shared the video on the podcast and then immediately shared it on Instagram. The video shows Jacob Marlow and Trista Smith demoing the new gymnastics movements.
The announcement comes after many athletes have been seen on Instagram testing out these movements following Episode 2 of Behind the Scenes: Programming the 2026 CrossFit Games.
At 1:15 in the video, Castro shows Rafael Sancen a video a tutorial video of this new movement. While the video is not shown, this might be what they were watching…
The BTS video was published on June 19. Four days later Jayson Hopper shared his first attempts on the rings…

Outside of the movements, we don’t know what they will be paired with, but athletes will have two weeks to perfect these higher skill gymnastics movements.
