Right at 46:24 there’s a girl in blue that doesn’t do the burpee after the clean and doesn’t get called out. I wonder if she was penalized at the end, or if she got away with it. 🤔
Thomas Foley Dave Castro thinks it will be a “better test of fitness” if the events and rules aren’t announced ahead of time. He doesn’t want people training for a specific event. I understand his line of thought. But i think it would be more equitable to the competitors if the rules and standards were known earlier. Making judging and rule enforcement more uniform.
Quanto ormone della crescita si e' sparata la cronista? Ha la mascella che e' grossa come quella dei due uomini affianco... Ma davvero in America pensate che le donne possano diventare cosi'??? Senza prendere niente? Ahahah... Davvero da ridere...
They are all randomly tested..Even during the games. 2 Teams and individuals were suspended before the games for doping. 2 masters got popped during the games and the 3rd place finisher in the mens division tested positive at the games for a banned substance and was stripped of his finish,prize money and suspended for 4 years. Sounds like control to me. Are there people beating it? Im sure..Just like every other sport.
The guy who won this event IS the one who has been tested, disqualified and banned (Ricky Garard) games.crossfit.com/article/ricky-garard-disqualified ...
It looks like you still can compete even though you've been tested and results havent come back yet. Thats messed up. The idea should be that you cant compete unless your are clean. Crossfit needs to fix this.
That’s because in Iceland traditionally your last name is determined by your father’s or mother’s first name followed by “dottir” (daughter) or “son” (son). In this way your last name will be parent’s first name + dottir/son.
I swear I watch these events for motivation
Same here
Same
same
Commentators on how to win a race: Race the whole time.
So clarity. Much wow.
All the Dottirs and Toomey in one heat. 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Is Garard’s compression band on his elbow to cover the track marks from a fresh injection?
"one thing Fraser CAN'T do is get taller..." Absolutely savage
1:02:20 she did not do the burpee after throwing the ball and judge just watch her.
Pretty sure you don't have to do a burpee on the last one, mens heat 2 winner didn't do one either
@@jaybugni9272 1:01:17 Sam Briggs does it on her last one.
40:08 the athlete forgets it and the judge sends her back

Is it just me or do all of these "different" events always have some issue where the competitors don't seem to know what the heck is going on.

Is it just me or did Jamie Greene miss a burpeeon her last rep? She just tossed the cheese curds over, jumped over and ran to the finish
I was about to say that.
1:01:25 Womens event winner
Dottirs' r good at this sport
You need to race the entire time you’re in a race? Thanks commentators
Ricky @ 2:00:23
"Don't get *caught* up in the moment."
Oops. 😅💉
There should be an eating event too
You have an unfair advantage if you can roll the ball through a lower crack like sam Briggs was doing
It’s so annoying watching ricky garad now because we know he was doping
I thought the same and was looking for the comments. Lol
winner of the mens tested positive for doping- stripped off his bronze medal
I might have heard incorrectly but I swear it sounded like he said 450m was a mile..
Yep, you heard wrong...he said 450m over 5 rounds is well over a mile which is absolutely accurate.
450m x 5 = 2250m
1 mile = 1600m
2:00:15 shut up Ricky
I love seeing Brooke Ence as a commentator, but absolutely miss seeing her on the floor.🥰
Garard just got singled out don’t think most of them are clean
Garard was using gloves and PEDs 😂
This would kill me 100%. I fcking hate burpees XD
Me too...what is with them? Why are they so freaking tough?
Watching these again, 6 years later. Is it wrong that I go "yeah because he's a cheating twat" every time they mention how well Garard was doing?
has there ever been any doping/steroids cases in these events?
Yes, Ricky Gerard who won the men’s event got stripped of his bronze medal because he was using steroids

1:31:55
1:43:19 -1:44:00
GARARD IN ACTION WITH DRUGS haha
What are the competitors signing after every event. An official runs over to them with a paper every time. Is it a waver?
Score sheet, in case you haven't got the answer since you posted this...
they really were straw bails, right ?
1:17:08 Eramo missed a burpee
Wtf were the burpees in the first event
43:03 women
Ricky cheats Gerard
YES!!!! GO GET IT!!!!!
Who's here for Lauren Fisher :)
Joy Lucas
She’s had her best finish at 9th.. I don’t see her doing any better in the future games
Chopper Head awwww man really?! That's so sad though. I just checked her rankings it ain't that good too :( bummer.
1:38:11
Thank me later
Thankyou
No problem
Thank u
Thanks

amazing what steroids can do eh ricky garard? he made this games a joke
Terrible commentary
This sport crying needs proper doping control.
zigutia athletes got busted before these exact games so they are in place
They are all randomly tested..Even during the games. 2 Teams and individuals were suspended before the games for doping. 2 masters got popped during the games and the 3rd place finisher in the mens division tested positive at the games for a banned substance and was stripped of his finish,prize money and suspended for 4 years.

Ricky got busted he used hes banned he wasnt even tired after this event all other athletes died on the field
Ugh seeing them climbing over the hay bales makes me cringe
Lol the fact that 3 girls all have Dottir as the second part of their last name😂
That’s because in Iceland traditionally your last name is determined by your father’s or mother’s first name followed by “dottir” (daughter) or “son” (son). In this way your last name will be parent’s first name + dottir/son.
Ence is my least favorite person in CrossFit
What is wrong with her face? Looks like she used to juice pretty good.
Ugh Brooke. Just hearing her voice makes me not want to watch this. She is awful.
