[@legn7324]

why were you not able to broadcast this with your stream?

[@KyleChapmanGolden]

Why doesn’t CrossFit allow the Russian flag to be displayed for Roman? Why can’t Roman have his country flag on the podium? So disrespectful.

[@bobbiking6184]

Most worthy recipient of the Spirit of the Games Award. Such an emotional moment. Well done.

[@bryceregan3358]

roman is such a beast and such a humble dude.. gotta root for him honestly

[@mattbynumfilms]

That was sweet that so many people signed the back of his Spirit award.

[@amandaomezi7492]

I have been wanting him to go to the CrossFit games since before he couldn’t because of visa issues and have been rooting for him to win. Haven’t been this emotional about a podium finisher. He deserves it and so much more. Even with all the judge mishaps he had to deal with

[@Anna-nt3us]

Roman Roman Roman… I just can’t with his dignity, grace and amazing sportsmanship. I learned so much from him this weekend, his optimism and lack of bitterness. I would def have a hard time mentally with this injury and he just continues to smile. What an inspiration and representation of the sport ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ivansuvares]

Roman is a such an inspiration! Humble, relentless and always smiling. We are very proud.

[@clublatino68]

I am so against this year Crossfit games that allow Russian atlets join this games. It is completely wrong. Russian are killing and destroying in Europe and here russian are recieving applause!!

[@LaseredIllumination]

14 hours AFTER the actual awards ceremony....about damn time. This year's broadcast was a cluster. Was someone from the wodapalooza broadcast team hired for the games? That's sure as heck what it seems like.

[@errollleggo447]

I like that Roman got the loudest cheers.

[@CrossFit12347]

Yeah but I do wish he got his own flag - like yeah there’s a war with the Russians but that doesn’t mean that Roman is a bad person.

[@Jayydubss]

Lawson only 18 and in her second year almost winning if she didn’t gas out in the final day as impressive…has a chance to win multiple titles for years to come…she the future

[@blueeyedbull67]

I am not a crossfitter but I love watching the sport anytime it is aired. Quite frankly I am addicted to watching the sport because the athletes are incredible and most have such an inspirational attitude for us weekend warriors to follow. So, you could say I am the target market for Crossfit, if they want to grow into a legit, popular, sport. I want to reiterate that I love the athletes, they work their butts off all season and perform amazing physical fitness feats that we could only dream possible a few decades ago. Yet, this season was very off putting for me, from the Crossfit organization itself. To say they are amateurish would be a complement. From them pulling Caron and Foxall in the semi-finals but still allowing Wells to continue on the games for doing the exact same thing. Shows there are no rules and decisions are being made subjectively and smacks of favoritism. Next, there should not be cuts at the games! Yes, you can compare to other sports and make the excuse of time and space, but, so what! Everyone hailed Khrennikov for continuing on while injured but there were many athletes that did the exact same thing during the games and were lost in the shuffle because they were cut. The cuts actually assisted Khrennikov in maintaining his podium position, even though, he did the exact same thing that got Caron and Foxall removed from the semi finals. If there were still the full 40 athletes competing from beginning to end then he would have finished in the bottom part of the last two events, perhaps 40th place in each and Fikowski would have been in 3rd place. Again, I have nothing what so ever against Wells or Khrennikov, they are both amazing athletes and it is not their fault that the games organizers are a mess. As the saying goes, "don't hate the player, hate the game." Remember Crossfit, there is a business axiom that for every person that vocally complains there are 10 others that feel the same but remain silent. Crossfit needs to do better if they want to grow a non Crossfiter fan base. If this kind of gong show continues, I, for one, will lose interest in the sport.

[@vanillaghetto]

A lot of dumb people (Dave, Boz) that don't get the concept of CROSSfit, and have no clue about arithmetic. Cuts change everything. Points skewing toward top finishes, or not change everything. Never mentioned. And random "minimum work requirements" and disqualifications just add to the unfairness.

[@Ilovekclightfoot]

I did not watch the semi finals or any but what did wells do? Again I only really watch the games

[@shawnfoster4506]

Couldn't agree more. Welcome to the shit show. I've always said that the CF games are the most poorly executed sporting event, year after year. It's almost inexplicable that something like this could be so overtly mismanaged. The only reasonable assumption is that Castro and Bozman go into a conference room and huff keyboard cleaner between bouncing ideas off of each other.

[@blueeyedbull67]

@@Ilovekclightfoot She 0 repped workout #2 in the North American East semi. Assuming due to injury but then she was fresh to push hard and finish 9th in workout #3. As I said, nothing against her. She did what the rules allowed. Caron even asked the judge during his event if it was okay for him to just swing on the rings and not do any reps and the judge said it was okay. Then they DQ'd him from the warm up area right before the next event. Basically the exact same scenario as Wells. Same for Foxall, who was also removed.

[@wolfhunter6711]

They should give a Men’s and Woman’s rookie of the year award.

[@MK-ze8ei]

The broadcasting for this whole event was atrocious and perfectly encapsulated by not making the awards ceremony easily accessible. You say you want to grow the sport, and yet, you constantly miss easy low-hanging-fruit that would do just that...

[@cpthornman]

There really are some truly stupid people at CFHQ.

[@barryp2519]

Have to agree. This years broadcasting has done nothing to grow the sport. Horrific.

[@travis-n-joy]

Roman 100% deserved the Spirit of the Games Award! Well done!

You should have let us watch it live without having to buy ESPN. Take care of your community.

Great to see so many Canadians on top!!!! 🇨🇦❤️

[@motherfather3852]

It would’ve been nice if we could’ve watched it live on you tube last night as we have in years past instead of being quickly switched over to baseball tonight on ESPN. How about also seeing both heats of an event on the “exclusive” ESPN broadcast instead of missing things like Jack Farlow’s winning lifts?

[@JOARACING]

His kindness for sure in spite of all the obstacles, great great award.

[@aleksandarkanev9683]

Crossfit really dropped the balls this year. 14 hours later, the ceremony award. The ending just cutting abruptly. But eh, the events were live and free to watch so, theres that.

Heck yeah Roman! That was truly inspirational to see

[@dawnc5797]

Glad to see different winners and different people in different podium spots. The same people winning all the time or on the podium all the time stagnates the sport IMHO. Seeing 'new' athletes in the later heats is also refreshing. I love Annie and Katrin and Noah and Sam, and it was a little weird not to see them in top heats but it's exciting to see the others come to the front. Sport is ever evolving and the top athletes don't stay there forever. We have to recognize and appreciate up and comers because they are literally the future of the sport. Congratulations to all the athletes. The coverage was sketchy but the competition was great. If CF Games ever comes to the East Coast I will actually get to attend live and that would be amazing. Now looking forward to the Rogue Invitational!

[@brunolopesbc]

Some things, only sport can do that. During a monster war led by Russia, the American people applaud a Russian and consider him the spirit of the games. This is amazing!

[@nyJIeMeT4uK]

The man is judged by his actions, not by his passport.

[@emzzan88]

Where is the logic when judging a citizen of a country that has NOTHING to do with the war?? Do you hate all Americans too? Cause they sure as hell started a lot of wars and killed plenty.

[@Anna-nt3us]

Please stfu and go away with trolling. Roman is so much more than his country’s dictator, maybe learn to judge people by their action and not their place of birth

[@laurenhenry-lm9ce]

Only the American people? I think you missed the entire point of CrossFit by making such an ignorant comment.

[@brunolopesbc]

@@laurenhenry-lm9ce I didn't say "only the American people". I think you misunderstood. Americans and Russians have a history of fighting around the world. All that was put aside for the sake of sport. I meant it in a good way.
