19.5 Open Announcement in Miami with Mat Fraser

[@Osiwan960]

"just another day at the office for these two" !!! so true and so mind blowing....that stuff is incredibly painful !!!

[@mavenleland27]

Matt is a beast. This guy will be unbeatable for years to come as long as he stays healthy.

[@robertcooper7827]

It’s crazy to think that Fraser started Fran at 3:47 and finished it at 6:52. 3:05 Fran is ridiculous and the fact he came into it after beasting 60 reps before that in 3:39. That’s insane.

[@furiofusco5139]

Don't forget that we are talking about chest to bar in this wod, not pull ups as the usual Fran. Think about it for a sec, let it sink in.. Yeah..

[@michaelpesina7341]

i was gonna do the math on that but you got down already. thanks ha

[@nostrafitness]

We were in attendance for this amazing display of fitness. The champs. Grateful for athletes with such integrity and passion for the sport. Nicest people ever, we have to mention.

[@danieljw1985]

Thanks for snapping a quick pick with me in the garage on your way out! Such a great spirit! An amazing time getting to see you two throw down in person!

[@batodelcastillo4802]

Being a champ is about attitude ; considering in this level both have technique , discipline , strength .... But to be humble - recognition to other athletes - to be positive and smile , is to be an example . So , she is A TRUE CHAMPION !

[@Elemental19001]

Just holy crap....yup. That's all I got besides it's hard to believe we are all part of the same species when some members are capable of feats like this

[@tylerjaehamilton]

you are mistaken my friend, not the same species, definitely more advanced then we are...

[@danielk.5890]

Eat clen, tren hard, anavar give up, then you may join the "special" species:)

[@tamaremnxapius]

Steroids are hell of a drug.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

@@tamaremnxapius I can't be certain for Mat, but Tia Clair is on the Australian Weightlifting Federation's drug test list for the last 6 years, which is before and during her professional career in Crossfit. Meaning she can be tested at any time, any where. So your comment is only half invalid, like I said, cannot be sure for mat, but Tia, absolutely no doubt. She's clean.

[@tylerjaehamilton]

@@alan181090 Not saying they are not, but Tia is tested far more regularly then mat.

I love how the length of this video is like half the time cap, with intros and all...

[@furiofusco5139]

Love how tia is kind of spacing out before the last 9 Chest to bar, mat notices, shouts at her, making her refocus and jump straight up to the final 9

[@kyleanthony7101]

I didn't do 19.5.. but I've done Fran more than once.. and I can't imagine how bad this one would hurt. Based off how Fran made me feel I'd imagine the pain cave would be incredible.

[@Zeoilvia]

Champagne seems like the wrong prize for this :D

Fraser is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES

[@kulisi_saved873]

Definitely close but not the greatest. *Rich Froning 🐐

[@stephenmischewski6242]

@@kulisi_saved873 Greatest in which sense? Fraser hasn't won as many Crossfit Games as Froning yet, but he is for sure more fit than Froning.

[@kulisi_saved873]

Stephen Mischewski being the fittest doesn’t make you the greatest.

[@stephenmischewski6242]

@@kulisi_saved873 The last three years at the Crossfit Games, Mat Fraser has won by a bigger margin than Rich Froning ever did, and against a much tougher field of athletes. Over the last three years, Mat Fraser has finished first in all three Opens, and beaten Rich Froning in fourteen of the sixteen Open workouts. Rich Froning is still improving. Over the last three years he has placed 11th, 10th, and 11th, showing that while the level of competition in the Open is increasing each year, he is still managing to increase with it, staying in the top eleven. His 19.2 performance was fifty seconds faster than his 16.2 performance. Mat Fraser is fitter and more dominant that Rich Froning ever was, and in Crossfit I think that means he's greater.

[@kulisi_saved873]

Stephen Mischewski Sorry. Froning is still the greatest 🤷🏾‍♂️ There’s more to it then just finishing first and having a better time. One day you will understand. But thanks for that info 👍🏾

[@gach7569]

FOR THE FITTEST ON EARTH

[@danielflood468]

First, I was making fun of the announcer saying “fittest on earth” way too many times. Second, yeah you’re TOTALLY right. Mat and Tia DEFINITELY can’t do a strict pull-up. Spot on mate. They definitely aren’t two of the most capable and conditioned athletes on the planet. Mate, clearly you are just some bellend that hasn’t done a stitch of research. Tia WENT TO THE FUCKING OLYMPICS.

[@stephenmischewski6242]

@sticler21 Look up Tia Clair Toomey getting the world record for the largest number of strict chin ups in one minute.

[@stephenmischewski6242]

@sticler21 Strict chin ups and strict pull ups are very similar movements, as they literally both involve pulling your body up from a straight arm hang to chin above the bar with nothing but the use of your arms. My max strict pull-ups is the same as my max chin up give or take a couple. I've found personally that for me there is a pretty direct correlation between the number of kipping pull-ups I can do and the number of strict pull-ups I can do. I can do about forty-five kipping and about eighteen strict. As my kipping strength increases so does my strict. As my strict strength increases, so does my kipping. Based on this, and the fact that she's had to do over thirty strict ring muscle ups in a workout at Regionals, I would guess that she can do at least twenty strict pull-ups. Also, I have actually seen her do an easy set of ten strict pull-ups in a Teamrichey vlog.

[@bigkiv47]

So Tia Are you going to come clean on your 19.2 submission did not meet the standard as you didn't complete the required 50 reps of DUBS. You took down your youtube bvideo after I raised this in the comments but I notice you didn't let the officials know so they could amend your score You do know that 46 reps is not 50 but then you only did 50 reps in one of the DUBS the rest were 46 or less..... bit disappointed that the best female crossfit champion is willing to cheat very disappointed

[@xMaryEsquivelx]

OldMan MTB I doubt she’s “willing” to cheat. Also, every submission has to be reviewed by CrossFit. If they don’t like the video or think there is something wrong with the video, missing reps or whatever, she has to do the workout again or seconds will be added to her time. She doesn’t have to tell anyone anything and by the time she’s been doing 50 reps, her judge has to be the one counting her reps because she has probably lost the counts.

[@PainterFRO]

The Athletes have someone scoring them and telling them when they are done with sets. If some reps were missed it was by the judge counting not the athlete. All the top athletes in the Open videos are reviewed by CrossFit and time is taken away for how long it would have taken them to do the reps if they are missed... Good effort at being an internet judge though.

[@bigkiv47]

Hey I am fully aware it is the judges fault but removing the video shows she now knows and yet no altered score. seems to me she is hiding it away and if the judges of crossfit did review her submitted video then they too are not worried about her not meeting the standard..... so next time you guys compete and the guy next to you doesn't meet the standard then just accept it and let them carry on as shit it is OK as the top ones do it so why not everyone else... :(

[@PainterFRO]

OldMan MTB She met the standards it was just missed reps. They will deduct the time it would have took her to do those reps from her total time. Simple fix when mistakes happen. It’s not like she intentionally cheated on video. 🙄
