Thank you for posting this it’s super helpful!

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

@@SpoileralertGMA47 our pleasure. Enjoy today!

[@kelseylamothe7893]

did they not learn from week 1 of semifinals when everyone complained about not broadcasting event 1 and 3?.. please show us the whole competition

[@dehn]

Did they explain why ever? If it's the second time. Perhaps the media team can only do so much with the time they are given. It's no secret that the crossfit games doesn't amass any revenue so perhaps they saved some money on what they thought would be the most boring events.

[@pareanoapicard8079]

True. Damn😓

[@sometimesising1016]

They don't care

[@kenneth1559]

Kelsey they are not smart enough. These same people must run the NFL😂

[@joshsavage8620]

At first I thought it was a technical error for the semi East. Now it’s clear these were planned evolutions for the CrossFit podcast. My only guess is they want to send traffic to that podcast, but at the fans expense of having terrible video quality.

[@leecalcutt-scott21]

Why hasn't CF coverage advanced? We want this sport to grow but it won't grow if people can't watch it. Why cut specific tests/events from the live stream too?! Really disappointing coverage this year 😢 I know it's free but I'd rather pay for some decent live coverage, much like Giants Live do with the Strongman events. CF don't even have live scoreboards during the events like Rogue does. They haven't improved coverage from 5 years ago IMO. Poor!

[@marathaswarajya]

@CrossFitGames we are very disappointed by you. It was 2am in morning in India and we were waiting for you to show individual Test 1 live but you did not care to consider. We support this games from India and want to watch our favorite athlete perform from Test 1 but we couldn't coz you dint broadcast it. Very disappointed

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Hi Maratha. Thank you for your feedback. You can now watch the coverage of the final heats here: Men: cf.games/42jGu4U Women: cf.games/3MZw2e7

[@MrMichaelEsser]

@@CrossFitGamesTV What do I want with the final heat when the top time was set in another heat (Bethany Shadburn). Disappointing and no live score board?

[@danielsheehan5504]

I understand that this is an extremely expensive endeavor, and that youtube viewership barely recoups any of the cost (at time of my watching, 360,000 views ~maybe $1,000,000), but some of the issues I am seeing are due more to organization and experience than money. Put an individual with a laptop next to the announcers to keep track of places and scores, and a second to ensure that the sound is working, and the quality would drastically improve. Part of the reason South Africa and Australia got so much better reception was that it was easier for the audience to keep track of the athletes (another part being that they actually livesteamed entire days). I'm not sure if the solution is to have fewer athletes or more support personnel, but the US Semi's fell far short of standard.

2:21:27 me on my way home from school LOL! that backpack is huge..

[@Martinborough-villageNz]

Can we have more of Jason Khalipa commentating? Awesome insights and he’s great to listen to

[@5te3lerboy]

Dude, thank God for the Oceania semifinals. The broadcasting in the American events sucks so bad. "That's right, I hate watching all of the events on KZbin. Super love having to go off and find the other events. What's that? Of course I don't want to see a rep counter up on the top left of the screen, I'd rather guess where everyone is."

[@ddouglas841]

What Maratha said ⬆️ Make the CF Journal a paying subscription again then post the events there. Win win

[@bahadrcoskun6812]

Yeah that's a good idea. Kill the sport even more

[@marathaswarajya]

Yes right.... At least we can watch every event on time. Around 500$ will be a good price for subscription

[@MrMichaelEsser]

Why no live score board? I always scip the cardio part because it is boring as hell (TO WATCH!!!). I could go to a local gym and see through glasses there and watch people runnning... got the same information then

[@deanboardman1171]

poor picture quality.. was this filmed on iphone?

[@siobhansmith4306]

This! Been looking everywhere for it!

[@followingnazarene]

Arielle Loewen is such a good duuude.

[@shade_ofnite7autopsychogra411]

CF why not allow independent production companies cover the events at an agreed cost. This footage is atrocious.

[@madeshwaranchinaraj2785]

I love ❤️ this game...

[@whiterabit09]

excellent work on this stream! :)

[@ericghostleon879]

Let's go crossfit 👍

[@luisabundy8545]

why cant i watch the first event??? only team and then directly test two??? hello?

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Hi Luisa! Find coverage of Test 1 here: Men: cf.games/43cvibg Women: cf.games/3oysTIS

[@tayandstace]

Where can we watch the ENTIRE semi finals? This is ridiculous. They could at least post where the entire show is even if we have to pay for it.

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Hello. Take a look at this article for details on how to watch all Semifinals here: cf.games/3WFwmC5 For NA West, you can find additional coverage on the CrossFit KZbin channel here: cf.games/42bb8Ny Highlight coverage from Test 1 can be found here: Men: cf.games/3MDmhRB Women: cf.games/4276T5z

Am I the only one missing something? Are they streaming test 3 on a different channel?

Hi Jared. Thanks for watching. You can find coverage from Test 3 on the CrossFit Podcasts KZbin channel here: cf.games/3OOkwE1

[@davide8567]

bring back Castro, very below average tests

[@iankristofer1]

why is Davidsdottr in America West?

[@alanahunt371]

because that’s where she lives

[@mistameanor1]

CrossFit is going to die if HQ can’t get its shit together. The coverage of these events is so bad.

[@christeenforster4645]

Where is Indy event 1????

[@joshsavage8620]

CrossFit decided to put certain events on their CrossFit podcast stream this year. Which is terrible video quality and a huge downgrade. My only guess is to increase their podcast viewership. They will be available on KZbin later on.

[@moealmighty5700]

@@joshsavage8620Do you have a link to the podcast video?

[@christeenforster4645]

The camera work on the podcast stream looks like it was taken by someone with a blackberry from 2013

Crossfit under Dave Castro was better organized....

no question of that, Boz is doing well, but everyone knows they aren't using the best man for the job.

Yall need to replace the commentators theyre bland as hell and it kills the hype

More luckily everyone 👍🍀👋

[@melmatrix8212]

Are they drugs tested

[@ian.wiegand]

Yup

[@dawnc5797]

The athletes are but I'm starting to wonder about the media team. 🤔
