The empire is falling. What used to be the destination for the top CrossFit athletes in the space is currently experiencing a mass exodus. Roman Khrennikov is the latest Mayhem Athlete to leave CrossFit Mayhem this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to let you know that I\u2019m no longer a Mayhem athlete,\u201d shared Khrennikov in an Instagram post this afternoon.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI feel that this chapter has come to a natural close, and now it\u2019s time for me to build something of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, Khrennikov did not share what that next chapter will entail.<\/p>\n
The news of Khrennikov\u2019s departure comes just days after he revealed that he was leaving Cookeville, Tennessee, and moving to Madison, Wisconsin<\/a>. For Khrennikov, that is where he spent his first year in the United States after finally receiving his visa in 2022.<\/p>\n As for CrossFit Mayhem, Khrennikov marks the third major athlete to part ways with Rich Froning\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n Haley Adams left for Brute leading up to Syndicate Crown while her boyfriend, Austin Hatfield, is now working with PRVN<\/a>. Both Adams and Hatfield have returned to their hometowns.<\/p>\n Of course, there are still plenty of athletes training inside the walls of CrossFit Mayhem. Gui Malheiros and Paige Rodgers are the most notable, but there are still athletes who live in the surrounding area who make the trek to Cookeville frequently \u2013 Miley Wade, Quinn Robinson and Noah Wilson are just a few. (Don\u2019t get mad if I left someone off the list).<\/p>\n
