As a member of crossfit pleasanton, it was really awesome getting to see the athlete compete in person for the first time

[@GothBatty]

I did scaled 99 reps 🎉❤ it’s my first month doing CrossFit. 🏋🏻‍♀️

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Way to go! 🎉

[@dbizzell]

Castro is such an eccentric dude. Loves the spotlight for sure.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

But for me it works for this.

[@dbizzell]

Agreed @@MrBeeMeR320D

[@texasjmd]

CrossFit HQ finally came to their senses and brought Dave Castro back. Nice.

[@kirstybrown1185]

not in the same way as he was before, he is an affiliate advisor, still great but I think some people are getting their hopes up a little too much.

Nice, that Dave announced the Open workout!

A little dramatic. He could've been done in 30 secs

they show a full workout before that. Around the 30 min mark.

Bella is the best female floor announcer CrossFit has had thus far in my humble opinion.

[@abdulwahabalsaleh5784]

No doubt

[@donkey3409]

SIMP 😂

[@bilinasmini3480]

1:00:41. Right on to the point. Thank you very much.

[@harrymiles2652]

Lmao so I'm tall and lanky like Brent Fikowski and I could see, like me, that when Castro was announcing this whole thing Fikowski was like 'oh, fuck you dude' 😂

[@jlcragle]

@crossfitgames WHAT IS THE STARTING STANDARD? The workout quick start specifically states "Start standing tall with your back to the dumbbell." Yet, all of these athletes started facing the dumbbell. WHICH IS IT? It's this attention to detail or lack thereof that continues to plaque competitions.

[@SineadCampion]

I was just about to send the same comment. At my affiliate we will follow the instructions. CrossFit.. come on... please be consistent and create that "level playing field' that you preach about.

[@Rylando88]

@jlcragle@@SineadCampion yeah I noticed this, I also noted that the finish time was 6:12/13 not what the announcer said

[@kirstybrown1185]

confused why you are so angry on the way the athletes are facing that you assaulted the caps button, does it take you that long to turn around that it makes you angry? Also, apart from a single visual showing it, where did it verbally say they had to begin like that? Genuinely confused and have watched the 3 separate instructions to the workout twice. Is it because of the physical thing because I saw that as a way of separating it from the rest of the instruction, not a strict instruction itself.

[@frequency650]

The score sheet clearly says: Start standing tall with your BACK to the dumbbell. So NONE of these scores count and have to be redone.

[@rosemenzies1924]

But these guys also always redo it after the live announcement

[@sosborne7kbw]

I bet you’re fun at parties

Looking forward to an Andrew Hiller video on this!

Tf does a mushroom have to do with it? Love it!

[@kirstybrown1185]

I was thinking this, like we all knew when he was describing it, made me giggle.

[@patrickedwards5804]

Hmmmm... Questioning the interpolation of the "golden" barbell contest with debuting the open workout for these athletes. It's a case, I think, of oil and water simply not mixing.

[@sometimesising1016]

They didn't explain it well

[@worldwideachievers1234]

Funny how they said Fronings score of 96 would be coming down but once they all started doing one rep every 10 seconds they changed their mind and said well they did do Nasty Girl WOD yesterday 😂. Why have them do a WOD at maximum the day before they compete? Why synchronize? Thought this was a competition

[@rafaellabandeira22]

Não começaram de costas, foi validado ?????

[@Pepesilvia267]

The golden barbell thing was dumb. What’s the point of a competition if people aren’t going to actually try? The 14.1 score was 90 and these people did 30. They are saving gas for the open sooo why have the same athletes do both? Seems like a broken concept that I hope CrossFit fixes next time.

[@vanillaghetto]

And they couldn't even figure out to have a 20 KG ("men's") Golden bar on hand as well as a 15 KG bar! Too funny! 🙄

[@wingedscourge]

Was that Katie Hogan working as a judge? Nice to see her

[@jedimasterkhc1]

This is why we need people like 🦇 Hiller. They miss the 1st point on the written rules and the videos . “Start standing tall with your back to the dumbbell”. 🦇Hiller I wonder what will be the penalty for that?

[@ChristopherMalick]

I hope the rest of the announcements are not like this. I don't want to watch 4 athletes not try at all.

[@SG-lj8uu]

Cool cool thanks for the workout

[@bakes2.0]

Athletes did not start with their backs to the dumbbell.

[@zchbddy90]

I really hate to say this, and I usually hate the people that speculate drugs, but come on Alex!!! Maybe she’s not doing them now, but at some point there had to be something for her to get this much muscle mass along the way. Maybe I’m just ignorant.

[@kirstybrown1185]

@@mmoraes00 so the testing is magic to you? Of course, just like in every sport lots will, its delusional to assume all are. If you podium in CF you are tested.

Can someone explain the mushroom?? Still makes no sense

[@nickr7801]

Mario reference maybe?

[@agnesnagy2541]

I never know...these clues are way too unrealistic for me. But my guess is, just like in Super Mario, you have to go over or under it in order not to lose a life. So up and down we go.

[@JWade13]

Fikowski was at a disadvantage for all 3 workouts. Poor guy is probably the fittest of all the athletes, but will never win because he is 6" too tall.

[@insynergy3925]

6” tall? Must make it difficult to pick up a dumbbell

[@opdare01]

@@insynergy3925 Taller means having to move it a longer distance (floor to above head w/ arms stretched) meaning cycle time increases meaning takes long to complete the work out. Same with burpees (a smaller more compact person can do a burpee faster).

Literally the first thing written on the scorecard is, " Start standing tall with your back to the dumbbell." and none of the athletes started with their backs to the dumbbell. Come on CrossFit - none of those scores should count unfortunately.

[@mmoraes00]

True

[@thisisspartacus]

What the hell was that first workout… did they all get together and decide to sandbag it at 30 reps?

Because Dave was only on Time Out while the PC sheep found something new to ruffle their feathers (and verry slowly clue in to the obvious fact that "private equity" CrossFit sucks).

[@kirstybrown1185]

@@vanillaghetto he has a new role in crossfit, he has gone from CEO and GM to affiliate advisor. He was on time out but he has hardly returned to his old role and likely never wil.

[@vanillaghetto]

@@kirstybrown1185 I am aware of the history. However, I was responding to the OP's question. Dave has been brought back as the FACE of CrossFit (to the affiliate owners, members, competitors, and public) whether you like it or not.

Is CrossFit still a thing? Wasnt Castro fired from CrossFit HQ?
