I hope Colten finds peace in his mother’s passing. His performance was commendable. He gained a new fan in me today.

[@TrollHunterxXx]

Love Colten … glad to see him getting his props

[@endo71]

It makes me so happy to see Miranda and Pat together on screen again.

[@brie_Gist25]

Great intro from Sethie and Great on commentary. He's awesome as always. 😌 These guys are the real deal here.

[@troygroves178]

Best livestream hosts for any open announcement ever 👌🏼 well done gang. Appreciate your intelligent insights and fun you had with this.

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Thanks for watching! We hope you have fun with 24.2!

[@leshlycook5068]

Would have really enjoyed hearing from Colton at the end too…he did so well!

[@edrom1000]

I like the see this Open in a box how look like a garage, like the old times, it's awesome

[@whiterabit09]

5mins in.... blown away at the paces these dudes are moving at!

[@Geogaddii]

Really appreciate the focus on other divisions early in the broadcast. It was so cool seeing Pam Salazar! What a beast! I wish the age groups had their own Games broadcasts… even if they were recorded (properly, not from a fixed position like 400yrds away) and uploaded to YT afterwards it would be better than nothing. I think for other age groups, everyone would prefer to forgo a live broadcast if it meant the footage quality itself could be better.

[@Sigh328]

I 100% agree. I was so bummed during the ‘23 open, as I was excited to see other divisions and the coverage was complete ass.

[@s0nofg0d2]

Colten Mertens - the iron hawk! 🔥

[@saskajansson9812]

I love Pat and Miranda hosting! ❤❤

[@stephenr85]

I'm sure Colton wishes they would stop talking about his height more than I do. The deadlift and rope length RPM advantage are arguably much better than a few inches on the rower. Both did an amazing job.

[@dutchstallion8518]

It’s a sport solely based on what your body can do. Talking about their bodies is going to happen. When you’re abnormally short,it’s going to happen even more. Plus he’s got tonnes of fans. In my opinion it’s partially because of his height. People view him as an underdog even though it’s been proven crossfit caters to shorter men.

[@stephenr85]

@@dutchstallion8518 sure, just gets old when it's mentioned or alluded to so frequently. Starts to feel like they're making excuses for him, which he'd hate, and like I said, he arguably had more advantage on this workout. Justin is moving 185# several inches further (height diff x2), and assuming Colton has adjusted his rope a little shorter, he can get a faster RPM. That would've been the balanced commentary regarding the height attribute, but instead it seemed like "short rower not do as good" over and over...which detracts from both athletes.

[@justanbyoungjun]

47:10 10 sec

[@BernhardKohli]

At 9:22 of the workout, Justin's coach clearly is fine tuning Justin's rope. Judges are only allowed to reset the rower.

[@BrianKim-ih4qh]

at 9:22 I just see some dude talking

[@BernhardKohli]

​@@BrianKim-ih4qh I said 9:22 of the workout

[@jacquelineo6998]

My thoughts exactly. He also straightened the ropes. Seems like there’s was some, dare I say, cheating…

[@JB-hq9yj]

Pat Sherwood is the MAN. Love Miranda too

[@carltinsley5801]

Seth freaking Rollins got me pumped

[@laurabenigno5720]

Yes. Working out is therapy

[@donjuco242]

Colten could have won it. If it wasn't for that rope tangle. They were only 4reps apart at the end. He had a higher pace on the rower.

[@Goncalorodrigues80]

4 reps on the rower are 40m

[@NicholasStarnes-m6q]

Colten absolutely could have won this without that mistake.

[@ginburwitz9460]

COLTEN MERTENS!!!🤩👏👏👏

[@harca6]

That's cool Justin is a great sport to colten. Much respect to colten for being a straight beast going into the shred shed!

[@deannaperkins3287]

Justin is so excited to be there with Seth Rollins. I would have been the same way...so freaking cool!

[@Dutch_fellow]

Sick workout! 😮

[@rachermione]

If not for the missed double under Justin might have finished the 11th row 🤯

[@robnitz8300]

Loved Rollins! 👊🏽

[@ChristopherMalick]

That intro was way better then any of castros announcements ever. If you disagree please post a mushroom with childs handwriting.

[@edd.g]

Ellie after kissing Justin 😂

[@nickfog3]

Judge miscount JM dubs between rd 6 and 7?

[@incredicoolme]

i counted and it seemed that JM was correct, but the camera cvhanged so who knows

[@MetabolicPreventiveHealth]

How come nobody No Rep Justin Medeiros on that first set of 10 Deadlifts?

[@shawnfoster4506]

Standards don't seem to matter anymore, sadly.

[@engelbertgenovia9010]

great job colten, wow...

[@sabidabi9239]

Omg, Pat Sherwood! 😍😍

[@hunterklemz781]

Seth was dope

[@MrStripedsocks]

I liked the open announcement.

[@iampranabroy]

Love to see Pat and Miranda again. 😊

[@MetabolicPreventiveHealth]

How come Justin Mederios keeps coming off the rower before the meters hit?

[@markhamilton50]

It’s a chance he takes, if it doesn’t zero out he has to go back on it. But dude has beeen doing this forever so he knows

[@samuelestrella2956]

He did 50 double unders and they miscounted him to do 2 more

[@Jay-bo1gs]

Do you have to lockout the deadlifts or nah?

[@ChakuzaNumber1]

1:14:12 😂😂😂 hoped she liked it

[@mccask]

Come on corporate, do we really want WWE associated with the CrossFit brand?

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

nooooooope

[@Lizeth-nq2vu]

Oh yeah!!😌💅

[@uzomanwosu]

Tame crowd for Seth Rollins. The vibe was weird.

[@PumpCityP]

What shoes are Justin Medeiros wearing?

[@BeaulieuTodd]

Odd… the rules are clear about waiting for the monitor to come to rest on the last row…. They called his meters at the timer.

[@cohenarcher8985]

Man how good was Seth Rollins 🔥🔥🔥

[@Pepesilvia267]

$100k of gear in Justin’s gym but apparently not a sound system? Feels so odd to do a CrossFit workout without music lol and a quiet crowd.

[@Pepesilvia267]

Ahh it was just super late lol. Odd to not have it at the start to pump them yp

[@thejohnsimienproject7329]

What was their score?

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

You'll be able to see all scores on the leaderboard here: games.crossfit.com/leaderboard/open/2024?view=0&division=1&region=0&scaled=0&sort=0

[@fightowl]

Soooo what's this got to do with a pawn being knocked over..?

[@loganrice8484]

Justin was not locking out those lifts

[@FeWH]

At least Justin Won something again. Helps his confidence. He looks Jacked. Is he on sauce now?

[@stephenr85]

Just looks like he leaned out. Got a chip on his shoulder. Doesn't look like a juicy transformation.

[@humbertocosta3805]

Mullet vs Mullet

[@adamventures13]

Should be "It's a good day" (it's is a contraction for "it is" and not "Its a good day". Hope Justin fixes it on his wall.

[@Luismolina12]

Seth “Freaking” Rollins 🔥🔥

[@CristianoChiera]

And the announcement, and candela...😂

[@l.alonsofuentes1327]

Wow

[@JuanCarlos-lf1iy]

Normal people = Mortals lol😅 1:12:22

[@carlosramos9761]

$500 gift card, that’s it.

[@MamaAppalachia]

Am I the only one who thinks Seth Rollins intro was the cringiest thing to ever be seen

[@justinlandry996]

His laugh lol

[@miyalapeters2720]

i actually love him, and obviously he’s in character.

[@racheljones2775]

It gave me secondhand embarrassment

[@MamaAppalachia]

@@racheljones2775same 😂

[@artefactsbubble3742]

Nah, he actually killed it. He was in character. If you’ve watched him in regular interviews and then watched him wrestle you know the difference. That was exactly how they would have wanted him to announce it. He’s really humble when he is not in character

[@GothBatty]

Why is there a chicken peeing at 1h 10min 🙄🤢

[@whiterabit09]

Dave Castro hint for 24.3.

[@valeriameli6197]

Is bouncing allowed?

[@andrewsedwick8528]

Great Job by Seth Freaking Rollins!

[@davedelloro]

Justin had 50 DUs jus sayin

[@racheljones2775]

“don’t take it too seriously” says the guy wearing a sequin jacket and sunglasses in snowy Idaho….

[@thomascaleyd.c3405]

The battle of The Neck Curtains

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

Why must the sparkly dude growl like that? Why can't he just talk normally, or can't they get an actual announcer with a normal voice?

[@jcollesano]

Why is a wrestler announcing? Oh wait…the algorithm. Wait! Does this mean that people who do CrossFit also watch wrestling? #yikes

[@dawnc5797]

It means the guy is an active Crossfitter and CFHQ figure they can expose his fans to CF and hopefully generate interest.

[@mccask]

​@@dawnc5797So spectators of a scripted opera are likely to embrace CF?

[@dawnc5797]

@@mccask hell if I know but it's what makes sense. Did you watch any of the pre announcement stuff? They talked about it and confirmed what my thinking was when I asked myself why they would have this guy do the announcement. 🤷‍♀️

[@GalvezQb]

Seth Rollins announcing is just as corny or cornier than Dave Castro’s announcements 😂

[@PO53286G]

Dave Castro was cringe, but CF have managed 10X the cringe

[@kharolina1colombia]

Announcements are just so cringy😖

[@NICOLAI_VET]

That has to be the most cringing announcement in CrossFit Opens history.

[@deangobrecht4749]

What was that intro about? Umm NO THANKS!

[@JS-ld3wh]

That intro was annoying and cringey. Yikes.

[@wadyn95]

Intro from that yelling guy is cringe

Crosshit

[@Kcebab12345]

well no shit colten won 24.1... its cuz hes 5 foot nothing...

[@NicholasStarnes-m6q]

Yeah and he almost won this head to head tonight and he’s 5’4, with rowing, so what is your point?

[@Kcebab12345]

@@NicholasStarnes-m6q that the reason he won 24.1 by a mile is because his height is a huge advantage to him on top of his fitness.

[@user-ge1yj7vr3e]

Seth Rollins is cringey 😂

Rollins killed it. A true entertainer. Ain’t gonna watch 20 mins though. 🥱 skip to last 2 mins
