Rory is such a hustler man, like he is literally taking his precious time to make his way to each athlete to interview them and keep his love for media going. Hard worker man. Keep it up brother.

That lift off between fraser and panchik was awesome for sure It was nail-biting, like for real

My man hooked us up with the fcking fire interviews lately. The best interview coverage I´ve ever seen on any event ever. Plus it is a personal channel not even corporate, this is so impressive.

Everyone needs a Sammy in their life. Having someone as supportive as her makes life more fun and productive.

As a random stranger on the internet, I’m so glad this guy does not care what I comment. The world needs more of this attitude.

Shane Orr....coach of champions. Rory, it would be awesome to discuss some of the best coaches....Shane, Michelle, Henshaw, etc.

17:48 a heartfelt share from Fraser about his brother losing weight after coming to the Games, and the same for a friend he's known since age 4 who changed his habits after working out with Fraser. And Fraser gives him workouts to do and keeps up with his friend daily?! That's truly wonderful. An answer to "To whom much is given, much will be required." (Luke 12,48) Makes me respect Fraser that much more.

Great interview ...Matt now trains with Shane as coach. No one would have ever written that in their script. Froning and the Mayhem crowd obviously have good things going on in Cookeville. Matt is such a humble and simple guy. True Champion

I loved hearing Fraser's thoughts.😄 He mentioned how everytime there is a change in the games, people throw s fuss and then it becomes normal. For some reason that comforts me.🥰

Will never get tired of watching Mat Fraser win...

So grateful for all you do Rory. Your interview prowess is studly!

Thank you Rory for all these awesome interviews 😊

Congratz Rory, you make the interview about the Matt with your special touch. Thank you very much for this amazing video.

Fantastic interview. Very real, down to Earth, and interesting.

This is great! Thank you for letting him/people answer without interrupting. It's such a treat to listen to an interview where the interviewer cares more about the letting the other person speak than having to hear the sound of their own voice again. Please keep interviews coming!

Sammy is the secret weapon.

Much respect to Mat and Tia...

Freaking love watching Mat! His post event interviews chasing down Noah have me FIRED UP! I love watching this man train and see his mindset. Makes me want to work that much harder

I've loved seeing all of these interviews! It's awesome to get an athlete's take on something with more than a 30 second sound bite right after an event. And usually, we only get to hear from event winners, so hearing from different athletes who have equally valuable things to say was a nice change! :)

GREAT interview. Loved every minute!

Rory, I met you yesterday at Katrin's book signing and i didn't get the chance to tell you I love the way you're continuing to cover the sport. Since the change that happened with Crossfit i think it's awesome the way you as well as others have been able to cover the sport in ways that may not have been done previously. So basically I want to say your work is awesome and thank you!

Please an interview with Shane Orr 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great interview. I love how down to Earth Mat is. What a champ.

Sam and Matt on the dock by the lake with coffee...the man knows how to celebrate!

Bro your an inspiration. You work your ass off, and your humble. Understand your public platform is greatly appreciated.

Ro, this is the interview I wanted to see, thank you! Personal, friendly, in depth. Attempting to not lead answers (I know it's hard). Keep doing this!

30min is not enough, I could listen to Mat all day long.

I haven’t heard his excuse yet but I thought he looked back and didn’t see it over at the edge. Ok heard him now. I believe him. Remember this is the guy who redid an open workout few years ago because he didn’t like one of his movements even though everyone else said it was fine.

Loving all your interviews. Keep it up!

Nice interview guys. Thanks for doing it.

This is great Rory! Well done with all your vlogs 💯

Every mat fraser interview fires me up. And rory meckernan interviewing is cherry on top. Best post games interview ❤❤

That was a great interview! Found out information about Mat and Tia training partnership and Shane role in it. Rory got several really good interview all weekend. Great job and you deserve all the new sub!

The cuts and points made this very exciting to me.

Great interview; a lot of interesting topics and thing I had no idea about. Keep it up!

Talking about his brother and friend getting motivated to get healthy. Thats what the games do for my husband and i. A burst of new enthusiasm every summer.

The heppner story 😂😂😂. Sounds like him.

Cool to see Mat give Shane Orr credit as his coach... I wish he would give Noah the credit he deserves as a tough competitor... He's the only one who has give Mat a hard time since 2015.

Rory you are a great interviewer... way better than everybody else doing the same job. You let people talk, you let them comfortable, great questions, etc. Congrats

Awesome interview! Really great content!!

Thank you Rory, very much appreciated. Congratulations Matt, well deserved and a great showing.

That clean event is definitely one for the crossfit games history books, especially Mat's cheer when he hit that 380

Good for you Mat! You are an amazing professional athlete. Congrats

Yes the penalty was too high. I love your interviews ! Straight forward, no music distractions, just you and the athletes. Clicking subscribe 👍

Let that shit go immediately , a true champion . Great interview 👍👍👍

Great work, Rory. Appreciate all these interesting interviews.

I love the way he attacks the new ways of things (rules etc)!

Whatever Shane’s doing seems to be working! That and the magic potion they found 😂 Love Mat and Tia, great personalities, great athletes.

Congrats man 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I loved how Mat reacted on the penalty given on him on the 4mile run he just lets it go and he maintained his focus.

I gotta give you that your interviews are great. For once someone is letting the subject talk to point and not being interrupted. I've been watching some of your interviews over the games and you show great respect for the athletes and not putting yourself in focus (like some greasy brothers..) . Keep up the good work Rory... I'll be watching!

As a Miami resident, I'm glad to hear that Fraser had a great time at Wodapalooza as well. I always make it a point to make it at least 1 - 2 days over there when they compete in January. Thinking it would be pretty cool to run into more of the Athletes there.

Awesome interview!

Epic interview!!!! Love your style. Interview Shane Orrsome next!! #MoreOrr

Great video! Lots of gems there

Excellent interview.

Gr8 interview!

Solid work Rory - subscribed

Great content thanks Rory

“Dude! I’ve had this gold medal for like 8 hours!” Haha I loved this answer!

Congrats Mat!!!

Dear Mckernan. First off as a sportsman of many sports and varied standards, words fail me for Matt Frasers achievements. Also the way he conducts him self off the field of competition, matches his incredibly high standards on the floor. Your skills of interviewing , are a breath of fresh air. You're humble, respectful, highly knowledgeable. You show great resect to the interviewie and areas they wish to steer clear off.The prince-able of reporting the views and news untainted is clearly upmost to you. keep up the great work.

Freakin awesome interviews Rory :-)

Great job, Rory!!

Great job Rory!

Inspired me too. Big Dawg 👊💪💯

I love Tia and Mat's friendship!

really well done interview :)

Talk about hitting these while the event is still current. Fresh perspectives.

Matt is a true champ.

Mat „...and i keep my normal pace..” - his normal pace is for wining the Games hehehe

Fraser is just a beast man.

Per Gary Vee I hope you've turned this audio into a podcast haha. Great stuff Rory keep it up!

Awesome guy. Great sport.

Good one Rory!! 👍🏾🔥

Now that it’s out there and talked about we need an interview from Shane! Gauging on the reactions he had from Tia’s second place finish 4 years ago I bet his nerves were soooo bad this year.

Mat with those big juicy forearms! Great interview Rory. Liked and subscribed

2 second place finishes and 4 chips...GOAT

Damn Matt Fraser as a personal coach that guy is one lucky son of a gun

Fraser the 🐐

“Random people don’t give a fuck about” lol I love the honesty.

Can't stop comparing head sizes

I love when Mat talks about Sammy 👫❤️

Annnddddd Stillllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“How do you stop a sandbag falling out of your ruc”? Secure your bag before you start running 😂😂😂

cookeville tennessee is the fittest city in the world.

wow, great story mat. way to explain yourself

Hey Rory, did you upload an interview with Brooke and took it down? I believe i saw in the recommendations and now Im trying to find it but no luck

OH NO you left that shit go IMEDIATELY! LMAO

I think the minute penalty felt a bit arbitrary, sorta like... oh it's a sandbag, 1 sandbag = 1 minute... What might have been a good penalty would be to measure the amount of time it took for Mat to get from the sandbag location to the finish line and be docked twice that time. (The amount of time it took to get to the sandbag and back). Regardless, I am happy for the results, I really don't like seeing a competition where someone's running away with the lead, definitely added a bit of tension that made the overall games experience more interesting. What I do think might help in the future (if they implement cuts again) is to set the cuts less aggressively and possibly have 20 - 25 competitors on the field all of saturday instead of leaving it to 10 people for most of the day.

Is the CrossFit games in Madison next year? Or did I miss the memo where they may relocate to another city/venue.

So I wish there wasn’t as much of a cut. Maybe get it down to 20 instead of 10.

Nice to UNDESTAND what happens in Matt's mind when he is in Competition mode?!?! It's as much as a MENTAL game as it is a PHYSICAL at the CrossFit Games. Tia is a a good example, I remember my 1st introduction to Tia in the Games Documentary, her mindset on the wrong place & doubting herself which costed her 1st place finishing at the Games!!! This year she is STRONGER than ever to match her physical capability!!! She is also so HUMBLING!!! Got to also RESPECT Matt's priorities, motivating family and close friends that matters to him the most than anything else!!! Tia and Shane are really awesome people, you can't DENY Shanes "SENSE OF HUMOUR"?!?!... >< lol

Next year...Fraser vs Froning faceoff???

I would just like to leave this here. What if the Iron Man competition after the first event (don’t know but if it’s swimming) the last 25% they got out of the water they just told them to leave even if they are amazing at the bike and running. And then after biking the last 50% had to leave and now only 25% is left even if some of them might suck at running. Are they really the fastest Iron Man ppl?

How do I cop this rogue t-shirt color way??

I would love to know why there was this burning need to get down to ten athletes.

Had no idea Shane was coaching him now thought it was still Ben, very cool

Will there be a Movie about this year? Because last year was nothing 🤔

I'd love to have seen the field cut to 3 after day 1. Get rid of the dead wood quicker.
