    Thank you for doing this video - the entire Crossfit community is mourning today
  • I'm still in disbelief. My prayers and sincere condolences to his family and friends. Love & prayers. ❤🙏
  • He was awesome! He was so excited when Luka made it back with him. In my mind that spoke volumes about him. It's so tragic. He seemed like an amazing man.

    One thing CrossFit needs to start doing is recognizing all the athletes more. Before something tragic like this happens. RIP Lazar 🕊️

    Thanks for doing this guys. This is what we need right now. The Tyr interviews are gutting, so is Brian's last interview with him. He was alive and so hopeful only a short time ago. I can't imagine how Luka and the other athletes are feeling right now, but know that our prayers are with you all. Sending so much love to the Dukic family and Luka in particular. ❤

  • @evilflowx
    It’s wild that he used to be a lifeguard. And the profession he used to be is the one that let him down the most.
  • @bounceback7597
    OMG...no. Never met the man but was super inspired by him and his rise in the sport. Sending love and healing energy to his family, loved ones, and everyone close to him in the Crossfit community.

    All day since watching this mornings stream I’ve been overcome with waves of grief for the people who knew Lazar and his family and what agony they must be feeling. I didn’t know him but just seeing this it makes you feel like you did. The loss of his life is so unfair. I’m so sorry to his family
