These cross fit videos are fantastic partners for my treadmill ....inspires me to do 100-200 minutes of treadmill work and even at work, when I feel like I'm overburdened, these videos inspires me to continue on....I feel so wonderful for being part of the adventure of these inspirational people.
I literally watched this watched this whole Finals, and Have yet to lose interest. People can hate on this all they want but everybody is different and has there own passions and Opinions. But Honestly I love Crossfit and I really Believe it has a bright future!
Can everyone please just admire the intelligence of Rich Froning in his decision to jerk the weight straight up and hold it with a narrower grip, than a typical snatch grip. The intelligence and ability to squat the weight in a highly discomforting position is something that we should be in awe of and is worthy of him winning his 4th straight title. Also, notice the control with which he descended on his rope climbs, given the fact that many others chose to crawl their way down. Brilliant.
I was thinking the same thing with the rope decent, I'm assuming it has to do with his time as a firefighter. The ropes looked about the thickness, maybe slightly smaller, than a pole.
The best part that I see about these Games is the argumentative disagreements of specific groups of athletes (Olympians, strong men, track stars, etc.) and the fact that it will make crossfit grow. If there is such a debate and concern about what crossfit athletes do then the strong men, olympians, track stars, and whoever else will eventually compete for the games. I mean really if it's not really the "Fittest Man on Earth" title than any major athlete should be able to compete no problem. It's not necessary to train for crossfit apparently and you can be really good at deadlift or just really strong but not flexible (both key to being fit and athletic by the way). The real questions becomes what are the standards to being fit? If you have the answer and they differ from what was shown above or throughout the crossfit games then please reply and list them below.
Just realized that 2:54:16 is the moment that Noah referred to in the most recent "2016 Road to the Games" piece, where he said Froning told him that "it's yours now". Froning's wife (Hillary) destroyed Noah in social media after these games for sharing that story. The crazy thing is at 2:54:19 you can hear Noah say, "yes sir" in response to what Rich said to him! ...so Noah wasn't making it up! Poor guy!
Are you taking into consideration that this Double Grace is immediately after another event, at the very end of the last day of multiple grueling days of the Games?
From 2:45:30 begins the part of the top athletes. They hear what to do. Then they realize they have to do it twice. At 2:46:15 we can se Rich Froning's face. He says yes with his head. He wins here in this moment. All the others are in doubt. At 2.46.28 Fraser, who could win, is shaking his head, saying no. He lose here at this very moment.
Kőhegyi Attila because Castro made the event to fit froning perfectly, realising how it would benefit the crossfit games and his profit if Rich would win 4 times in a row on his last competition.
FOUR MORE YEARS BABY..... HAHAHAHA THE BEST PART 2:59:00....... it has been an honor to see you TRANSFORM this sport @richfronnig.... LIKE I ALLWAYS SAY has to be a cherry in a dessert to be a dessert.... ST. PIERRE IN MMA, CRISTIANO RONALDO IN SOCCER... TIGER WOODS IN GOLF... LEBRON-JORDAN IN BASQUETBALL AND SO AND SO...... can;t wait to see fisher, dan, smith and the others youngsters battleing out to be the start or a new generation and image of the sport... thank god we still got camile leblanc for couple more years.... HOPE TO SEE MEXICANS INVOLVE SOONN :(....
its just and expresion of how this atlete transform and give cuality to this fitness metodology... i allways say cristiano ronaldo.. re-model the new era of soccer.....
"Four more years" I'm pretty sure. Possibly a reference to the Barack Obama tweet that went viral a couple of years ago. twitter.com/BarackObama/status/266031293945503744
Wish they'd come out with a list of drugs everyone has access to and is permitted to take, so that they don't have to claim natty when not a single competitor is in fact. It takes away from the incredible accomplishment of these men when half the viewers turn away saying "I could do that if I was on drugs like them." or "it doesn't count, because he cheated by taking gear". People need to open their mind, not a single noteworthy accomplishment in pro sports has been achieved natty for decades,... so what? Just level the playing field and give everyone access to the same stuff.
lol. Yeah, i was thinking the same thing. The guys looked really strong, but not bodybuilder huge, and performed at levels surprising for their size. Actually, some of those guys are only a little bigger than me. But when the women came out with those huge lats and delts, I just lost my suspension of disbelief. I've known a few female bodybuilders and girls just can't get that big without some RX help.
If they permit a "safe" quantity of roids..people will get more to the very risky level, sports associations can't permit that. Its just how its meant to be...PED's aren't allowed because they are DANGEROUS and unhealthy
Marco Brotto Yeah and the rest of the stuff they are doing is safe and healthy... To be fair, a certain level of PED can be used safely. It's just that they often aren't. Nor is the intent behind their use always to be safe. Some people would rather be big than alive. But the primary reason they aren't allowed is not because they are unsafe and unhealthy. There are plenty of legal enhancement methods that are plenty unsafe at certain quantities.
Rich Froning wasn't shaking his head because the workout was heavily skewed towards him. Dave Castro seems to be very close to Rich as well as realising that Rich winning 4 times in a row would benefit the crossfit games and the profit they would make.
I wanna see how they do with military training with logs. I serveved for the Korean army spec and 5 guys as a team had to carry 350 LBS log over our head up to the mountain at the elevation of 1,900 feets. it tooks us 5 hours to get there. it was the most painful moment in my life. lol
Froning had to work for those wins; it was a close competition and more interesting from viewer's perspective. Mat just needed the minimum work requirement to win esp on those final days.
cifla ciflic I agree - pretty boring and uninspired final activity. I would be pipssed if I went to see the finals and that was it, along with a few rope climbs and 3 squats!
I think it is arrogant, and a little selfish to continue to point out American mistakes and short comings like we are supposed to be perfect or something. So just chill out. I'm sorry you didn't here your national anthem, or if you are an american Dallas I'm sure CrossFit Inc. has a suggestion box. We all pretty much have some form of ADD.
Uhhh... I think it was a little unfair in favor of Rich. I mean come on - that guy literally walks normally daily holding a barbell over his head. Had it been a different event maybe someone had a closer chance.
shogrran because Dave Castro is close to Rich, and also realized how it would benefit the games and the profit if Rich won 4 times in a row on his last competition.
throwing the bar behind the back after a lift its... a no rep... as said in regionals and games judges... rich got a rep... just saying he is the best but... that would have been a no rep
Rich is clean, you are saying he isn't because you are not capable of doing what he has done. God blessed him with his abilities and rich uses them to glorify God.
Rich Froning has more muscle mass than the best body builders in the world had pre steroids, and he has that without focusing on muscle mass. his FFMI is over 26 while the accepted biological maximum for lean people is 25. so ofc he is on dope, but so are all the other people here and half of those in regionals as well. I dont care, I just think its sad that people belive they are clean.
Crossfit r es la peor compania es la que mancha el verdadero Crossfit compania como Crossfit r deberian no manchar ni ensuciar lo que es el puro Crossfit los Reebok Crossfit Games es la mejor compania con un muy alto prestigio ,a nivel competitivo
why are the commentators saying fittest man on earth? id like to see them do a few laps round a field and try to beat anyone who does any running at all.
well it would also have to consist of some other type of exercise directly after running. these exercises were completed directly after one another. if you notice they get done with the time cap then walk over to their "named mats" and then 1 minute is called out and they are told the next exercise. It's the recovery time, stamina, endurance, and strength not just one aspect that makes crossfit unique. Yea you can run a 5k in 14:30 but can you run that time then do some other ridiculous feat, if so then enter the games(or they should). Would make no sense not to.
Just name one athlete, from any sport you want to, and let them do those same events so we could finally see if Rich Froning deservers to be pronounced The Fittest Man on Earth
Rob Fitness ah yeah i though this was the vid when they do all the bad form push ups and pullups and stuff, didnt rewatch the vid after my original comment lol. but yeah that is the event that any gymnast, rock climber or well trained soldier would beat these guys at, the bodyweight exercises one.
Props to the crowd for managing to sound excited for every time Castro found it necessary to announce a grace before a double grace

Why did she have to attack him? She is not an athlete. Team Noah.
I knew Noah is not lying.. I didn't understand the reaction of Rich's wife..
I'm gonna need more information on this
2:51:18 2011-2014 will always be remembered as the Froning Dynasty.
Amazing how much athletes have improved. Especially how slow everyone was in double grace wow

+Postermaestro you forget mat fraser was a weightlifter before a crossfitter. how is a double grace favouring rich? that's just classic crossfit
Crazy how much Fraser has grown over the years. 2019 Mat Fraser is an animal. He wouldn’t hesitate if they had to do Grace x3
@@Stephenwwkayyes, double grace favorites froning, isn't the same do weightlifting and do cardio with the bar doing clean & jerks
bridges didnt made it inside the timecap? wtf is wrong with the timing on this games, he was across the line at 3:58...
2:42:34 "That kid is incredible". Lol! seeing Fraser in 2020 makes me wanna laugh at that
Too bad he makes the games a bore to watch from spectators perspective.
"Fraser needs to find another gear here" - Little did they know...
Lol 😂😂😂
amazing event, amazing athletes!
great show, suggest clips are numbered next time for easy finding, other than that, Thanks!
hopefully someday how i wish theres a weight class. . i really admire JOSH BRIDGES he's one of the best. . Rich Froning is the Best
Now take a look to nowadays Cody Anderson. No reason for weight classes
its so crazy watching this when matt was just a kid with a dream to win having almost won twice and then going on to become the best ever
Mat 5 times champ 2020...
I've always been an Anderson fan. Just a nice, humble guy.
Here in 2019 to count Froning's breaths
josh bridges made it in the time cap
Joseph Jones. You just said it right!! I will start crossfit soon =)

First thing i read was also LEG END, i had to think about it a little bit before realizing i was reading it wrong xD (i blame the shirt though)
I didn't realise it was LEGEND till I read this comment. *facepalm*
here it is 8 years later, and i'm still waiting for clb to actually do an OHS.
I can watch all the team events but all individual event live streams are not available in my country.
Rich is amazing
I'm a little confused I thought the excercise was called a clean and press
I always rewatch this and have no idea why Kenny continued to try the hangsnatch
I have double grace programmed for tomorrow. Can someone be on hand to defib me?
+consecutive championships-

amazing intro!!!
I need help please! !!
what's the song at the intro???
I'd like to listening to it while training
what is that sticky rope for climbing???
Just realized that Jenn Jones got info from the guy in the crowd of the next event. She then shared that info with another competitor. #integrity
"Now for another edition of Dave Castro upsets elite athletes"
Last individual year for Rich, is it because he thought Matt would beat him the following year? Who knows hey!
Yet Mat didn't win the following year. He left to make his gym more profitable, he declared his retirement before the competition began.
