[@nishavaishnav1995]

Mat Fraser motivating c.sager is a type of brotherhood thing which we can learn from him. Respect..

[@austinalmeido4628]

Don’t u think that Fraser was at a disadvantage the whole time having to walk farther? I feel like that would add up a lot over 180 reps.

[@hoc2723]

Yes, the extra distance he walked probably added 4-5 seconds per round, that's probably one to one and a half minutes over the entire workout. He was ranked third overall for 17.3, he should have been first by at least half a minute.

[@hoc2723]

@Luke Falasca You could, and Mat did say something to that effect (see his 17.3 video in his channel). But we will never know if he actually needed that much rest (personally I doubt it), or if he would have crushed it even without such rest.

[@aztroFN]

@Luke Falasca he doesn’t need it

[@KatWeltch]

I think it has to do with logistics unfortunately. They know these guys are slamming their bars and there's a huge risk for injury if they're too close. Additionally, I think the other athletes needed to be closer to the bar to make up for time because we all know Mat is gonna crush it lol!

[@davidgreenall899]

that is a crossfit !!!!! even in an ordinary box, ordinary ppl .. we are encouraged by each other and share happiness for every rep from everyone

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

You're right! We love our community. ❤️

[@tanfizhussain3785]

Anyone else wondering why on earth they put Mat's bar 3 feet further away?

[@suryabhan392]

C. Sager's power at the last moment💪😱 crazy

[@TMR2418]

I miss these open announcements 🙏

[@ashash5186]

Hhaaaaahaaaaa 😂😂😂😂😂, I have a better idea, watch DC comics cartoons

[@kevmak2600]

Dave making it up on the spot 👌

[@Rolandinos25]

Dave Castro's favorite person in the whole world is Dave Castro

[@Ranger0524]

I feel like Castro is such an awkward speaker lol

[@dennisolsen7953]

Why the recycling of old stuff

[@nordicAnn85]

Why was Fraser this far away? (I know it is from 2017)

[@Raskle604]

This is epic to watch but really confusing way Castro explained it

[@jasmine2009beautiful]

YES!!!!! Just state the damn workout!

[@ptadalan]

Wow this programming is so good and has been missing since Dave left.

[@if7060]

Why the hell did they complicate it so much? It's hard to think after the the first 3 rounds lol

[@EllismoreCA]

I feel like they tried to add a mental component

[@ollycopter]

What nonsense… just get on with it..

[@semazabaleta]

Sager no va a leer nunca esto. Pero acabas de volverte mi héroe.

[@linadiaz1953]

EPIC

[@davidbath135]

why did he have to rush the chest pulls at the end? did he need to get them in the time as well?

[@banghyunjoe1502]

yes. his record contains total reps including SN & C2B

[@jomlin143]

24 min time cap, try to get as many reps as poss for his open score

[@laraalves8851]

😍🙌

[@fabiansotelo8466]

Estuvo facilito...😂😂

[@azrinsouth]

My take. Bad choice of chalk color

[@EdSongoku]

Matt had 2 no reps in the first 6 snatches, he lowered the bar before full extension

[@JokkeCarpentry]

I LOVE THAT, ALL OF IT ♥️🔥♥️ - the way Jas sat and was all “I should do it again..maybe..not… IM GONNA DO IT” Craig & Jas you guys are a power couple 🥹🫶🏻

[@PhantomCucu]

Easy. 👀😂😂😂👎. Can you explain again? 🤖😜

[@fernandoharo1661]

So confusing wtf

[@jesusrojas286]

muy dueño de todo pero no sabe ni escribir en una pizarra, dioj mio para leer eso mientras entrenas

[@gabinkss6121]

sager had really bad hollows on his chest to bar pu

[@piercebourgeois1751]

most confusing way to write a wod

[@hernancortez491]

No limits on tren….😂

[@krayuxa]

Язык какой то. ……. Птичий

[@connorobrien8763]

Thank God, they got rid of Castro, this dude was the worst presenter, and always made these things about himself somehow

[@_majohn92]

Mmm... not really.

[@Masheeable]

Absolutely 100% of the time.

[@tonytungsten4278]

Why different weights for men and women? This is 2023? This offends me... 😂 😂 😂 😂 Bwahahaha

[@hotstuff697]

Castro was a fucking cook in the Navy Seals, not an actual seal.

[@Miiiiiiighty]

Is that true ? LOL
