Ohlsen's judge was very lenient, both Fraser and Gudmundsson were getting no reps for the wrong split stance but i seen at least 2 occasions where Ohlsen wasn't called out for the same thing.
The splits are so aggressive, I think they got to 10 too fast. The split events have prioritised smaller, gymnast-y athletes and runners. Fewer power beasts this year, especially in the women’s cut. Would have been great to have the clean event before the cut.
i don't have a problem with them cutting to 10 but i do agree that they cut a little too early - i think they should have cut at the end of day 3 and gone into the last day with only 10 athletes
Complaining about gymnasts in crossfit is like complaining about tall dudes in basketball. The sport is based around rings and chin up bars of course the gymnasts will rise to the top but I do agree they made the cuts before any power events which kicked a couple of the top women too soon
commentator : 'when doing the double under, just remain consistent and make your heart rate beat lower' .... shit.. my heart beats like 250bpm when im done with just 10 DUs
16:20 It looks so weird and funny watching people doing jump rope from this far out at this angle. Looks like people just stomping on the ground freaking out.
In terms of finding the ''fittest on earth'', i don't think the cuts help this cause... especially with the events were seeing in the first 2 days.. hardly varied... I'm seeing people in day three that people who have been cut would smoke in these events and climb back up the leader board.. Not a true fittest on earth test overall imo.
@@LiftRunFight he really wasn't using crossfit terminology that much, lol The title that the winner of the crossfit games gets is "fittest on earth", crossfit being a sport with many various tests of strength, endurance and overall fitness claims that the best crossfitter is the fittest athlete in the world (as if decathlons are not a thing, since like ancient Greece) And cuts refers to the fact that basically after each day (I think) a percentage of the athletes participating in the crossfit games was knocked out of the competition. I for one agree with OPs criticism of the format, Brent Fikowski's placement is pretty much proof that it's a flawed system, lol.
@@LiftRunFight The first few events that involved cuts in this years games weren't too varied. They were all fairly generic and cardio based, so a lot of top athletes who are consistent got eliminated. I think if they got to stick around and do all the events we would see a very different top 10. Which is kind of the whole point of the games. Many tests determine the most consistent athletes. Creating cuts only hinders this process in my opinion... but yeah just my opinion.
The cuts were too aggressive going down ten before the seventh event. Last year there were FORTY competitors up to the final event and now it TEN at event seven??!! Come ON!!
Jorgensen. Son of jorgen. Sw Davidsdottir. Daughter of David. ICE Bjornson . Son of Bjorn. ICE Janszoon. Son of jan. NL O'kelly. (Son) of Kelly. IRE Fitzgerald. Son of gerald. UK Macdonald . Son of Donald. SCT Nurmagomedov. Son of Nurmago. BUL etc
if theres going to be elimination stages then the stages need to be constructed even in both strength and running components - this was not the case, the initial stages were run dominant and that was unfair.......
7 events in and all the athletes cut and has been no heavy barbells and no real barbell cycling. Is crossfit headquarters trying to kill the games? This is pathetic. Maybe time for CF Headquarters to give the games to the community... or at least get rid of Castro.
This coverage sucks, they talk about events they do not show. I would have rather watched the sprints which is talked about in this video but not, but you don't really get to see the action. Also, it seems as though I just find a video of just the Men or the women in particular events, not both.
People whining about this is not the way games should be, the cuts wasn't a good idea... bla bla bla.... if you have watch the games documentaries you have seen when fraser lost in the sprints one year, and then he won the one next year, why? No because the programming was different, he saw a weakness and work on it. Some athletes are use to sacrifice some events because they know they are really good at others and they can make up for it in the points distribution. Well I don't think that will be good enough for the games anymore.
It does mean David's daughter, it's an Icelandic naming convention. You'll notice the other Icelandic women at the games are Sara Sigmundsdottir, Annie Thorisdottir, Thuri Helgadottir, etc. Conversely Icelandic men have "son" in their last name, like the strongman Thor Bjornsson.
“Noah’s trying to win events he has no business trying to win” WTF you get this kind of commentating? Like did he seriously say that. Like wtf is he their for then?
Thats just yuck, how can Olsen even be happy with his performance? It was stated that the opp foot to DB needs to come forward yet his last 10 or more reps his foot doesnt even move. Yuck bro
Ohlsen's judge was very lenient, both Fraser and Gudmundsson were getting no reps for the wrong split stance but i seen at least 2 occasions where Ohlsen wasn't called out for the same thing.
his last 10 shouldve been no reps
Anyone that can qualify for a competition like this is already a winner.
Top men start in 9:38

Totally agree with you. I think that 20 woman should be competing today instead of 10.
completely agree

Noah got away with some no-reps both Mat and BKG were called on.
I think the cuts up until 20 should Stay until the end of the games. But the cuts down to 10 that is to much.
commentator : 'when doing the double under, just remain consistent and make your heart rate beat lower' .... shit.. my heart beats like 250bpm when im done with just 10 DUs
Hold on.. Ohlsen's judge should of counted his 5th round clean and jerk presses as no reps.. He was only moving 1 foot backward.
Since when does just moving 1 leg a step backwards counts as coming up in a split stance?...
@11:05 Olsen no rep
Fraser’s mad

wait a minute. 13:44 was also norep for fraser
02:12.. South Park reference. Love it!
last year was sooo much better... these cuts are not fun at all..
Haha who's voice is overlayed at the end!?
Eric Doerneman some thotty who loves short men. What did she say?
Fraser !best off the best 💪💪💪😎👍☝️
Olsens splits were pretty average. He just kicks one foot back a bit.
C'MON MATTTTT
Fittest man on earth 💪🏼

There is no running for fraser?! Oh unbelievable
Everyone complains and says it's not fair. Oh well. Win or lose just like any other sport. No excuses 💪
13:45 no rep for fraser which went through
Who made dumbbell clean&jerk and Snatch?
bk footwork slowed him down in the dumbbell work outs. noah had on the point foot work in dumbbell parts.
I am surprised that there are so many fans in Crossfit.
Philip or are you surprised that you’re not?
Nice standard on " split " shit... Just moving one leg behind. Olsen got away again with judge who was inshock the entire time.
What shoes are matt fraser using?
if theres going to be elimination stages then the stages need to be constructed even in both strength and running components - this was not the case, the initial stages were run dominant and that was unfair.......
Where is juji?
Olssen nor rep at 11min02 & Fraser no rep at 13min45
They should have stopped with 20 :(

What is the meaning of cut in CrossFit?
I imagine that the new changes will bring back a better Games.
@@sebastianarciniegas3859 Elimination.
New commentator isn't so good at commentating. His input became a little irritating
I agree
Chase Ingram has 10 years under his belt at CF Opens. Bill Grundler is my fave announcer for his experience and enthusiasm.
Rich said he's coming to get his title back.

Abhay Trivedi crossfit games
Katrin Davidsdottior sounds like katrin David Daughter! Anyone has same thinking? Haha

Anyone finds annie cute? And scary at the same time
Anyone else get the lord of the rings reference?😂
“Noah’s trying to win events he has no business trying to win”
WTF you get this kind of commentating? Like did he seriously say that. Like wtf is he their for then?
Yeah that was retarded. Dumbass commentator
Y
Got roids?
As soon as they made the cuts down to 10, Mat knew he at it in the bag... so sad... programming was awful.
Pegboard is a stupid exercise. And everybody is working out like crazy all year round for tiny or no prizes. I don't get it.
Thats just yuck, how can Olsen even be happy with his performance? It was stated that the opp foot to DB needs to come forward yet his last 10 or more reps his foot doesnt even move. Yuck bro
more like the steroid games lol
Call this the Napoleon complex games. All are under 5’10. What a shame to slant the comp to short shrimps.
Crossfit has always been that way.
I guess they could throw a basket ball game in there somewhere haha
R P why can’t the tall bois keep up?
GearZNet you tell me boi boi shorty shrimpy shrimp. How tall are you?
Any filipino watching here?..
Where is froning? 2 much steroids?
he's been on a team for like four years, dude
