Women’s Individual Event 1 - 2024 North America East Semifinal

[@trishhunt4085]

Here's a brilliant idea: how about the commentators talk about the athletes and not themselves? I do not care when your first competition season was, nor who you competed against. What I would like to know is the position/standing of the athletes.

[@whiterabit09]

"Let me tell you all about when i was great"

[@donethier7935]

Ya no shit👍🇨🇦🏴‍☠️

[@marcelz585]

Yeah, they definitely peaked already in life.

[@huijunzhang-i3r]

Totally agree!

[@pauloyeghe1637]

Here's an even more brilliant idea. Shut up .? You are never bigger than CrossFit games. BOZO

[@danielgerecht]

How do we have these AMAZING FEMALE ATHLETES kicking ass and these two beer league athletes walking down memory lane. Focus on the athletes!!!

[@jeffreysikesphotography5499]

The dude on the right never shuts up and is reliving what he believes is his past glory.

[@ededdeddy4951]

Don't know much about Adrian, but Panchik is definitely not a beer league Athlete... Seriously impressive Athlete. Id bet Adrian is 10x fitter than you as well.

[@pauloyeghe1637]

Can you do better.? All you can do is be critical and moan. You are so weak you can't even watch the games you have to nitpick commentary. Typical looser in life you are Bozo

[@rkls2921]

Pls show the athletes during heats more and less the commentators 🤦‍♀️

[@Maz-zb9uf]

Does this happening with the male athletes

[@shawnfoster4506]

The people covering crossfit are always idiots. We watch the announcers and the same two athletes as if there's not 18 other people on the floor. Crossfit is a joke of a sport for a lot of reasons, but this is one of them

[@markolson2466]

How about using women announcing for women events!

[@LighthouseJaye]

🎯 Like what sport even shows the commentary as it's happening⁉️

[@erikagillard]

Anyone else feel like the commentator with the hat talked more about himself more than the athletes background? As an Aussie, Tia will always be my role model, but back in the day, Hayley Adams was KNOWN for being one of the best runners, I don’t think he even mentioned it?! Trying to talk about her catching Tia on the bar… if she was going to catch her, it wouldnt be on the bar it would clearly be on the run??

[@frozenboot68]

It's too bad we know Tia took BEDs. It takes the shine off for me.

[@christopherdetourbet725]

yep. That's Adrian Conway for ya.

[@legacycommunications]

Yup he does like the sound of his own voice

[@debrascott8775]

He's consistent..like this at every event. Super annoying.

[@domwtfitness]

Yeah, did he not notice that on the first four runs Hayley closed the gap on Tia? I did, so thanks for the background on Hayley - given Tia's running background, Hayley surprised me surprised.

[@twebb1]

Watching Haley smile and dominate after taking a year off is the most warming thing

[@pauloyeghe1637]

Yup .it's the CROSSFIT EMOTIONAL GAMES for you. Just smile and you've won weaker people's hearts. Bozo

[@jessieibanez84]

These commentators are really bad. This should be about the athletes competing and not them. Show more athletes,less commentators.

[@jeffreysikesphotography5499]

Too many "bro" moments

[@StoneWii]

Tall poppy syndrome

[@antoniomaceo4706]

Welcome back Haley!!! Glad to see you competing once again.

[@toasterito]

Believe it or not I want to see the athletes, not the commentators. Hope you read this

[@BK-hn6jc]

This year for chrismas, i wish for a coverage that is professional during a crossfit event. The folks at HQ should watch the Olympics this year to see how its done

[@shawnfoster4506]

It'll never happen. Crossfit doesn't listen to the viewers and then wonder why their sport doesn't get taken seriously

[@JulietteNov]

I don’t get it! If they had the capacity to catch all these angles, why not broadcast them during the actual event???

[@michellebradley8981]

EXACTLY!!

[@jaulenejackson]

Agreed. The viewing was poorly executed

[@damarismartinez9303]

Every year is the same

[@tanyachristine151]

Agree!! I don’t wanna see the commentators nor a birdseye view? WTH 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@DaveL2414]

Looks like a post event edit. Nice to be able to watch it filmed well like this

[@satheeshvinu6175]

Its too happy to look TIA on the winning run..... Congratulation to all contestants , especially hailey... Wonderfull strength ....

[@Rudy-rr1ex]

Holy cow! Why did they show the commentators so much

[@anupamsunil4764]

TIA IS BACK!!!

[@ThaUnit]

Please stop showing the commentators. I'm not here to watch them.

[@MihikoreOwen]

This is way better footage to be able to see the run than the live show. The commentary needs to be more about the athletes. Come on guys it’s about the athletes and not the commentators. Please lesson learnt and use Torian pro as what good looks like. We never even heard from the top athletes after their heat. To reiterate, we are here for the athletes and not the commentators.

[@janetbrown6512]

Can someone please ask the commentator in the hat to either shut up or talk about the athletes who are competing.

[@debrascott8775]

Been trying for 3 weeks...he sucks

[@alexsusmorrison]

Ya, he was super annoying the whole time

[@shawnfoster4506]

He's awful. I don't understand how he got this job

[@DF-dz4nu]

That was beautiful, I loved watching Brooke, and Tia, and Haley! ❤❤❤

[@hawksWR86]

You spelled Danielle wrong, hahaha

[@raffy505]

Tia! She’s BACK!

[@fedelozano1899]

THE QUEEN IS BACK!

[@kananir1]

These commentators need to commentate on the event and athletes instead of running their mouths talking about bullshit. Shut up, tell us what we’re watching and the athletes background. Soo annoying. They all need to take lessons from Torian pro

[@April.R646]

Why aren't they giving a line-up of the athletes? I'm looking for certain athletes that I watch to see.

[@adamfeder7125]

Production quality is terrible. No excuse to have no real graphics. We are three weeks into the semifinals and this is the best CrossFit could do?

[@shawnfoster4506]

​@adamfeder7125 it's a joke. Always is.

[@belindad5945]

Tia's back, LFG!!!! Best thing I've seen in ages.

[@aimeesmith6838]

I don't normally comment but damn this commentating was so bad. Nothing matched up and it was like the athletes were an after thought. Please clean it up today crossfit. BUT HALEY freaking crushed it! So happy for her!

[@missstirring6063]

I hate it when they focus on certain individuals instead of EVERYONE. No one wants to see Brooke the whole time ffs🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Gooooo TIA!!! 🇦🇺 ❤

[@aot220684]

Sadly they didn´t talk about what was happening during the event, but about the past ... really dissapointing.

[@andreluizfojr]

That guy barely let Panchik finish a single sentence… why invite such a legend and keep interrupting him during the whole transmission?

[@christopherdetourbet725]

Because he isn't a legend like Scott.

[@frozenboot68]

Panchik had almost nothing to say at times: the lead host threw him a slow pitch and it was one word answers. It's not his forte, mind you, so he was better in the second heat.

[@shawnfoster4506]

Because competitive crossfit is a joke. It's beyond me why they can't manage their events better than they do

[@IOSARBX]

CrossFit Games, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!

[@stratfordgirl75]

Awesome Tia and well done Hayley. So proud of them both. It hasn’t been an easy path for either of them.

[@nataliefullam9799]

So last week we didn’t any meaningful coverage of event 1 but the semifinal Tia’s at and suddenly we have drone footage. Also for the love of god show the athletes not the commentators.

[@corder92]

If you watch the live event they don't do the drone footage etc. They released this after its finished for some reason, they did the same for last week

[@sosborne7kbw]

I know, so crazy that they want to put out footage of the most successful CrossFit athlete ever!

[@legacycommunications]

Sooooo happy for Hayley go girl your awesome as

[@aowens9192]

This is how Brooke keeps herself off the podium. I wouldn't even think I could do what these women do but Brooke never takes that extra step. Tap and go for the final 10 would really take her to the next level. Even if she tapped 3 dropped tapped 3... Something, ANYTHING, to get her to that next tier.

[@freedomchurchofstaugustine5492]

wonderful job of announcers making this their platform and talking little about the actual event going on

[@clairepavey7504]

The commentators make this nearly unwatchable not being a hater but Jesus the man in the black hat didn’t draw a breath. The focus should be on the athletes

[@pegkinsman3089]

How about some women commentators for the women’s competition????

[@AminaAmor2196]

I wonder why this never occurred to them!

[@marcelz585]

Rather not have commentators next year. Silence would be better than these guys just talking about themselves.

[@pauloyeghe1637]

Great 👍 Commentary,sure . Pretty much engrossing and a constant narrative. Thanks 👍 guys😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@Mindfuljourneywithme111]

Loved watching heat 2! So glad Tia is back 🎉

[@DOLfirst]

Hope the commentators from the Oceania semis will do the games. They were excellent.

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@philby345]

Why can't we see more than one athlete? It's a 20-minute workout and we just saw Tia and Haley and no one else!

[@Braddaddyx]

Scott Panchik does a great job as a commentator, much better than the rest, he is a veteran and has a very winning personality!

[@erikagillard]

Alsooo, Tia’s singles technique was the same as Jeff Adlers.. and she did it first… yet he called Jeff’s so skilled, masterful etc, but didn’t talk the same way with her….. I dunno anyone notice this or am I just losing it? 😂 I’ve just watched the last 2 weekends of semis which were really good

I recently started doing crossfit and I love it. i was tired of training like a bodybuilder. I am not sure if its possible to build a physique like these athletes naturally

It absolutely is possible. Anybody who says it isn’t, just isn’t dedicated enough. But it does take extreme attention of detail to nutrition, training, and recovery. Favorable genetics are also helpful

[@jean-bernardtheard569]

Everyone complaining about the commentators discussing other things you need to réalise that during the live feed they couldn’t see the athletes when they were out running! They had to fill the air somehow. Listen carefully when the athletes come back inside Conway describes the action to a tee.

[@miriamramos1831]

Adrian Conway is the bomb commentator! Please make sure he is on staff at the games!!!

[@noone-ld7pt]

This is baffling to me. How on earth do they have this many angles but the live coverage had only one birds eye view? This was the most hyped event with Tia returning and you can't cover it properly? I'll cut the commentators som slack since they could only see the athletes for the clean and jerks, but the coverage itself is shocking to me.

[@sarahoconnor3278]

Same for me. I don’t want to hear or see the commentators. Talk about the athletes. That’s the job

[@MillicentSquirrelHole]

literally hundreds of comments asking to see the athletes and their names come up on screen and not the commentators - what on earth compelled you to change the format? CHANGE THIS ASAP

[@LighthouseJaye]

Haley & Tia were incredible and battling it out!! I'm glad I know how CrossFit works now and that's because Sean Woodland is so clear at explaining the course in the intro, breaking it down as it goes, giving a little backstory on the leading athletes and athletes who have been historically competitive. This commentary got worse as it progressed and it's a shame. If this was my first CrossFit I'd never get into it. Someone in the CrossFit team needs to learn the viewing/entertainment experience (for newcomers because that's always the bar). How do they experience this for the first time and want to engage or see it live. Adrian seems almost disinterested in what's happening. Gassed for Haley though, I've been excited about her progress for this games! Edit: Cutting to commentary just makes it all the more worse. We're not watching them. Commentary is auxiliary, humility allows you to recognise that and play your role best for the sport... Aight I'm done. It's just so frustrating to listen to when what you're watching is actually exciting.
