Amber Tee You’re a legend. Thank you!

agreed!

So give her a 1 second penalty, same result!

In a 60 minute event Mat Fraser got a 60 second penalty. In an event that's less than 30 seconds, a 0.5 second penalty would be equal to that. But the penalty was dumb anyways. Knocked her and Pat Velner completely out of the games

It didnt make any sense. 2 years ago when Kara Webb/Saunders didn't do all the lifts and missed 3 they timed her other stuff and decided to just add 6 seconds to her score. No penalty just using her stats to make it fair. Why couldn't they do that here?

So what was the penalty exactly? I must have missed it

Barely women when they inject more test than the avg 25 yr old male

@@Chimpmanboom well they have vaginas and identify as women...so they are beautiful strong fit women.

Thank you!!

Women's Crossfit is incredible! #WomenAreAwesome

Tks a lot

Dan is so smokin hot!

Sarah Robertson 😍😍🤤🤤

Alec Smith is lightning...wow

Yes I really wanted to see her humiliated on the peg board again in the next event.

This format is not very forgiving. A 10th of a second would have been appropriate, but ten seconds, Why not trillion second penalty. On another note, The people running the games are playing with fire. This could be a popular are profitable sport, but it's being run and presented by amateurs. This is popular among xfitters, but it should be on a major network and viewed by everyone. It's going the wrong way. IMHO

@@dmtudder These men and women are walking pharmacies, no way It's ever going mainstream.

agree, a 10 second penalty is WAY too harsh

@@GungFuMaster yeah this isnt just pre workout and creatine

completely absurd; because she touched a yellow line? Technically, she wasn't outside her line, she just touched it and now she is out of the games. What logic was used to determine that and a 10 second penalty?

Crossfit games logic.

Justin Miller 2019 games logic*

Because device doesnt store the records .. logic 😏

Cheaper solution.

I’m going iOS ui I i the ioi

It is over for a lot of athletes.

@@jackie-iu3wm true as well.. :(

While this is true and I agree about too many barbells in previous years, the events this year have been too focused on pure aerobic muscular endurance and is considerably lacking in both muscular kinesthetics (i.e. obstacle course) and muscular anaerobic power (i.e. max lifts).

They do use them...do you not see the ankle bracelets??

@@cup_and_cone did you not read the comment because the commentators said it depends on which leg the bracelet is on????

Agreed

Seems like we are gonna have to have you arrange an example. Looking forward to this 🎉

Thank you! This bothered me too

meandmyself1600 Also took ages to see Brooke’s time penalty written in red! But I could see it!

@Pierre Lando I have a huge crush on Kristin Holte. She is so hot and gorgeous at 1:07:33😍🥰👊🏾💍🔥🔥

Completely agree nothing like the usual competitions. This set up sucks big time. Usually a very tight comp on the womens side to the end. This setup with eliminations so early on sucks. Lost interest

ya I havent really understood CF/CFhq decisions this year from top to bottom. the change of the open/regionals/ cuts etc.

Is it funded well?

Caysum21345 athletes were told that no matter what they cannot step over the yellow lines or they would be penalized for going out of bounds and that’s what she did

Agreed. Far too many qualified athletes got cut during this event.

They added a 10 second penalty and wrote her time in red, but they never talked about it or explained why

she probably stepped out of her lane

It sucks that someone coming 5th or 6th is gone based on one event & someone coming 16th or more is in. It does not make sense.

34:46 (34:47 actually but give yourself a second to observe)

Good question. One answer I saw online (not sure if it's true; use your own judgement): "they do so many squats that most get an anterior pelvic tilt that makes them stick their bellies out more ... it is most likely excessive lumbar lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt. We use our lumbar erectors so much, perhaps sometimes when we shouldn’t, that they get over facilitated. Constantly forcing that arched position. That’s why you see a lot of these girls, lean, six packs, but distended bellies. The TVA is the muscle that keeps the belly tight, and it isn’t strong enough due to the disproportionate use of the erectors."

Some comment mentioned stepping on the yellow line

@@meandmyself1600 Wow big penalty for that.

@@1080sucks Basically a DQ, yupp

Crosshipster way.

They should have done the typical crossfit workouts first maybe split triplet, ringer, Standard to take the Champions threw and then start with the non typical crossfit events

What's even funnier is the girl looking at the scores and can't pick out the top 5. So dumb

it's only depressing b/c of how salty the athletes are - the problem isn't in WHICH events they used to cut it's just HOW the system is set up that's garbage ...but it's only the first year

I am a huge fan, and I don't see it as being amateur or stupid.

Well said!

Why does race matter? The Crossfit Games suck anyways. Racial minorities are doing themselves a favor by not taking part in this nonsense.

@Narly waves i was just about to say the same . Sports not only start out white but ARE invented by white people and even the compitions that hold more than one sport compitions like the olympics are invented by white people . So since crossfit is in its infancy (has a meager 12-13 years to its name ) black people are not joing up yet .

Last couple years been a lot of barbell. This is good change of pace.

Yeah the new format is absurd and entirely ruined the entire event. Whoever decided this needs to accept the result and step down. Why ruin something that was not broken.

SURE. Fuck the part about lifts, just a bunch of running around...

Matheus Salabert 😂

It's called 'Fittest on earth' for a reason. If you are not good enough to make the cut, be better!

@@_NotEnoughMana few of these events were traditional crossfit, what box have you been to that trains sprints on a football field? I think they decided to go with cuts to make the events easier to manage. I prefer the old format over the new.
