the down for me was the weather the first two days...chilly as heck....but living in Miami it was fun to finally meet some of my faves in the flesh and not just seeing them on youtube lol

Yeah that live stream was horrible. I could not even find where they showed the team events in the live streams. I assume it was in the “Conmunity” streams but all those were filmed by only one camera angle and that was the overall view which is a far image that is hard to see much detail of who is who and what is what. Maybe have a separate “Team” live stream labeled as such. Yeah all pretty frustrating to watch but managed to get through the individual Elite streams

I gave up on day 1, the broadcast was just awful. Laura is an incredible athlete and you shouldn’t rule her out, she has podiumed quite a lot and has won the games and Rogue. I think you just dont like Laura and that’s ok🫢

Hi Amanda. This is what happens when you try and produce a broadcast on a laptop. They could have done so much more with a 20-year old Tricaster and a couple of AV students with DSLRs.

Awesome Video

Amanda, barbellspin has a video from Miami town council’s meeting (or something along those lines). Sounds like the city asked Wodapalooza to move their event to March (and will pay them for it) to coincide with the spring break. They are also trying to line up hyrox to be in the same month. Something about rebranding the area during the spring break.

Awesome video as always! Could you put more on-screen graphics/names to make it easier to follow?

I tried to watch the live stream but it was too annoying the first day and never went back to it.

Great recap! Lol. I'm glad I didn't watch the event. My initial reaction when I saw the announcement and prediction for next year's event in March... Right away I think they are going to start the open earlier in the season. Perhaps the week following the super bowl. This will give more time for other sanctionals to join especially those in hot environments.

Great recap, Amanda!

"At Crossfit" Better stated as Functional Fitness

Thank you for the content

100% disagree, I find the teams much more fun than the individual competition! The teams is the fun unique thing about Wodapalooza, getting to see competitors that usually are individual athletes team up is so fun!

The livestream was horrible, bad quality, sound was off, camera angles bad. Just not a great experience watching this time

What if Wodapalooza becomes a WFP Event???

Too bad you don't like teams; to me teams are the real crossfit in motion, since it includes team work and CF claims to be all about the community etc. Also, the work outs in WODZA25 really showcased that to me.

Chase and Bill to me are great on their own, not so good together though. To me, they are both colour commentators. Would way rather see Sean Woodland and Tommy Marquez. Sean is the best colour commentator out there and Tommy's recall of athletes and previous events is far superior to both Chase and Bill.

Sprague won because Adler, Fikowski, and Roman didn’t compete.

heavenly blessed beauty whose inner beauty is simply divine and everlasting

I couldnt continue to follow broadcast. I know its free but come on.

Appreciate the recap, I tapped out on the livestream due to the broadcast issues

Also agree with broadcast. The sound was a nightmare. I thought day 2 was much better. Can't speak for day 3 and 4 as I found it just hard to watch in general.

In the past I've enjoyed teams. This year I tired to watch the teams several times and just found it hard. Indy was great!

OMG You have said everything I felt when I thought about the differences between Madison and Fort Worth

Open registrations are down almost 50%. I think it would be awesome if they were competing against the Open. Nobody owes their soul to the Games it’s gotten ridiculous.

Adler is definitely better than Sprague. But we will have to wait until they are head to head to call it.

I agree with all your assesmennts. Watched the whole live stream (Painful). i think the teams would be more exciting if there were fewer of them. It was hard to keep up with so many teams and heats. Couldn't remember who was on what team or what place they were in. I think if there were fewer teams and no more than two heats it would be easier to feel the competitiion between the teams. I wonder if Wodapalooza is intending to partner with the new professional fitness league in order to compete with Crossfit.

I think the teams comp is fun, really creative workouts and interesting to see top athletes team up and adjust to team movements without as much expertise there

What the hell happened to Ariel Lowen? What ridiculous performance from the begining to the end

John Young mentioned the other week a rumour crossfit games will be sold after the games.. could mean a real shake up in 26.. so March might be significant next year or simply means they want warmer weather for the Floridians??

The livestream was so bad on Day 1 that I opted not to watch the competition for the remaining days. I'm learning about the outcome through your podcast. Just terrible. As for the competition change to March, we won't know the impact until 2026 -- if one of the elite athletes who competes on Wodapalooza fails to make the Games. Because they are top athletes, I don't expect it to be too much of a problem. It's not as if they shut down their regular workouts after competing in the Open. They will have to be smart in the big picture to go all out for Wod so that it doesn't hurt their performance in the later months.

Good recap! Thanks! I gave up watching Wodapalooza years ago. It sounds like it's a fun competition with great athletes and events, but so hard to watch and follow.

The competition was great and the results highlighted a bright and entertaining future for we fans in this era of squabbling with, and negativity towards, CrossFit as a whole........Great to see James win,if only to finally shut Hiller up.😝 The coverage however was beyond pathetic.

Thank you for the recap. (Hope you get more eyes on your yt videos 2025, you absolutely deserve it)

Great introduction to what's happening this weekend! Not really interested in watching anything live, but I'll probably check on the leaderboard a few times. Too much CrossFit content (in terms of so many competitions in the year) to stay engaged at the same excitement as the Games. But good to hear from you your predictions. Good work.

Vellner must be ageless. Dude looks like he is in his 40s.

Wow already? I was just looking for something to watch and saw your video.. I've been on a funk with training so this sikes me up a bit! A Miami trip from this freezing weather in the northeast would have been nice! Thank you for the coverage!

Good chance Arielle podiums. She is also a great representative for the CrossFit community

I’ve got my eye on Hattie Kanyo. If you look at her stats and how she came out of nowhere… that is what I love about this competition. And she is so likable in her interviews!

Hair looks great! =)

To your comment on the weightlifting event; I agree and think it's totally appropriate to have a strength event. Now, if two of the six events were strength that would be too much.

Thanks for the summary, Amanda. And always nice to see Carson hangin' out in the background!

I just wish the viewer feeds were better for those in other countries. I'd pay 💁🏽

I will be there judging this year ❤️❤️

I swear you have something against Laura 😆 you never wanna pick her, you believe she’ll win but still can’t bring yourself to pick her, and can’t talk about her without talking about Tia too…

Wish more CrossFit accounts were like yours just talking about the actual events, predicitons, and the athletes not all this petty highschool drama 😂

I’m really looking forward to this week comp ❤. Thank you 🙏 for your insights ❤

First! Your videos always excite me ❤

Ok 😂 y’all still let somebody die foh

I love your videos!!!
