Loved the Vellner interview Dave...I think you and Pat should do some more interviews during the offseason!

Dave, in one of your athlete interviews you mentioned you needed a break from all things CrossFit. We sure hope this doesn’t mean this is your last year and swan song, as some have speculated. Get you a nice deload after the Games so you can stay in it for the long haul 🙏🏽

Interviews have been amazing.. Great work Dave👌

Love the interviews! Greatly appreciate all the time and effort put into this! Would love to see post-Games interviews of some of the athletes 🤗

Have you thought about doing UFC style weigh ins at athlete check in with the athletes height and weight to build hype around the games? It would be very cool to see actual accurate numbers on the game’s athletes.

Dave, it’s a real shame you haven’t watched the 2022 games. Had some incredible events and reimagined what the games could look like for many people. Elevated Elizabeth, The Capitol, Echo Press, Sandbag Ladder and the Back Nine are big highlights! Many of the workouts had new implements and twists which made it that much more exciting, not watching what the games was like without you is a huge miss

What have you learned most from your athlete interviews? What has impressed you most? Are there things you wish the athletes would have more in common like having an L1 or owning an affiliate?

Great job with the interviews. Huge task and accomplishment.

Hey Dave, Athlete interviews have been awesome! With Boz programming teams and yourself programming for individuals, how would you describe y’all’s differences and similarities in programming overall…not just for the games? Will teams and individuals have similar games events or completely different?

Yes, interested in all the athletes now…great interviews.

Thankyou Dave for all the hard work you do behind the scenes for the Crossfit games

During one WIR, you mentioned rucking and possibly creating a ruck program. Have you thought more about that? Can you do a video on your ruck setup for those of us starting to include that in our programming.

Have been enjoying all the interviews. Great job on that

Hi Dave, Are you surprised by the huge number of athletes who haven’t done benchmark workouts & hero workouts like Chad?

It’s not too late to bring back Sean Woodland.

Clydesdale interviewed a lot of the North American semifinals athletes a year or 2 ago

have you ever considered making the comp score template more top-heavy (i.e 100,90,82,75,68....6,4,2,1)? It would give more value for athletes to chase event wins. At the moment, with the linear scoring, it seems like theres little incentive to take chances. Athletes still do it but they do it for camera time and the cash prize for event win.

Why is Sean not calling the Games? Please reconsider.

I hope some eagle eye is zooming way the eff in on those white boards in the background to see whether they're the Games workouts :)

Just trying to get my comment answered =p Thank you for your content! I'm really enjoying the Athlete Interview series! Now that CrossFit is working closely with Goruck for the next couple years, have you ever thought about having an event similar to their Goruck Selection? Something where it would test their mental fitness for a very long duration? For example, kick off the Games with a 12 hour overnight event where they would need to do a short (3-7 min) workout every hour on the hour? It would be more about a long mental fitness duration test, challenged with a little sleep deprivation.

“Run swim run”

79 interviews done.......will there be a Danielle Brandon one??

Hi Dave, throughout the athlete interviews there has been discussion around the format of the games season and you have eluded to having ideas around improving it. I hope I have interpreted this correctly as growing the sport with more touch points and opportunities for athletes to progress. My question is what is holding you back from being able to achieve your vision of this?

Have you considered a shooting element in a test for the games?

Dave, love the athlete interviews. Emma McQuaid asked you your thoughts on training sessions and longevity. I love the idea of a panel discussion around this subject as it relates to sport versus everyday crossfitter. One of the things I kept expecting to hear you reference is “across broad time and modal domains”. Do you think this part of the methodology is lost with the “sport” side of CrossFit?

When are you going to interview Danielle Brandon?

Athlete Interviews are great! Each one better than the last! 🤙🏼🤙🤙🏾🤙🏿……. did you find out the answer to Jelle’s question about the Quad Measurement?

Did Dave downscale the video so we cannot read the whiteboard? 😅 🤷‍♂️

Are you coming to Scotland for Rogue?

Would you ever program a workout like 20.5 from the open in the games or semi-finals, where the athlete decides how to partition it.

Dave have you ever entertained having the Fingal Fingers at the games? Needs explosive power, strength, balance and control. Head to races would be fun finishing with second place vs the leader. Rogue already have the equipment from the strongman. Maybe lower the weights a bit though 😁 ,

How was Yosemite?

Did you find out why Games Athletes were asked for their quad sizes as discussed in your interview with Joelle Hoste?

Hi Dave, any update on CFHQ provide an app to affiliates for their class management/reservation/and athlete progress tracking?

Dave, what kind of camera are you using for your recording? Looks fantastic.

Dave, what’s your favorite time domain to program and why?

I saw the Rogue star sandbag in Instagram. Would you consider letting everyone carry sandbag with their own flag or removing the flag from the sandbags? For us foreigners it feels bit weird to carry a flag that looks like US flag. Let’s make the sport more international and inclusive for all nationalities. 😊

Bring back the Burden run or some of the events from 2013, 14, 15. Those were some of the best events ever.

Is there going to be a new CrossFit games doco?

Wizard Level Trolling. Nice.

Dave let me announce a games workout 😂 10 year affiliate owner

You know who could do all those interviews? CrossFit could do it, they sort of have them all captured, right? 🤣
