Pretty disappointing after all these years to not have a clock or leaderboard showing during coverage.

[@tonybradley2567]

I was just thinking the same thing, everyone else has done it so much better.

[@katiebrick414]

For real. Just a clock! Didn't we all have to have a clock visible during our video submissions...

[@amba-energy]

Lets hope Crossfit HQ get the coverage better before the games! We want to be able to watch it like the Torian Pro coverage which was top notch!

[@MrHunterwj2010]

Unreal that in 2024 CrossFit media coverage is still this abysmal. Imagine being a company and thinking this is good enough. What a joke.

[@PatFlood-jm8yz]

This is terrible coverage, I don’t want to watch the commentators talk, watched Torian Pro in Australia last week, we were always on the athletes and we had a clock the whole time to see who was where 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@tonybradley2567]

Torian coverage was exceptional

[@pulidojoker88]

Trash seriously.

[@2muchtequela464]

Amanda Barnhart was impressive great pacing and that touch and go to pass a few girls on last round was elite.

[@negsarvind]

This is just podcast. Crossfit shall release the video adding time and leaderboard. In every Friday event weather Europe or Oceania, they have done in same way.

[@jenmeal03]

What are you talking about?!? Literally all other regions have filmed the athletes and floor on Friday! Torian Pro hands down best so far!

[@luizreis4458]

Copa Sur transmission way better with even a live drone following the competitors

[@Caspabueno]

They said that they were not going to cover the first event. They will have it on KZbin tonight or tomorrow. Like they did last weekend at the West semifinal.

[@niketaw3063]

After having streamed the other semifinals, I am just floored by how bad this coverage is. No close-up shots, commentators unable to pronounce names, no stats or times posted, and a ton of video of the commentators instead of the competitors during the actual events..... And I'm surprised there were no shots of the individuals running outside of the arena, either. I sure hope the rest of the weekend's coverage is substantially improved.. Please, please do better! (maybe with pointers from the Torian Pro crew???)

[@alexallum1576]

always shocking coverage first day. Please sort it out...

[@barneyroberts4027]

This is just for the podcast. The Event One separate video is posted on Saturday with drone footage and much better coverage.

[@PatFlood-jm8yz]

World wide event and they can’t afford a camera or two outside to watch the run 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@daniellara9847]

South America coverage is being waay better

[@keepgoinggo6112]

Go Tia!!!

[@bmollica6839]

Is this camera angle so we can't see the judges calls?

[@robyn10100]

Really hard to see the athletes

[@jeremyneilsen1263]

I think the coverage problem is these are all individually run comps they now count as regionals so the programming etc has to match and follow crossfit hq. But i dunno how much involement crossfit have in the broadcast of each competiton. I could be wrong. But torians cocerage is always great.

[@leannecallahan]

great commentary from Adrian! more of this pls.

[@philg55]

Tia!

[@MrWaffleWalrus]

Love the commentary from Adrian and Scott! Great work guys!

[@miriamramos1831]

Go Haley!!!

[@veronicazimmerman3294]

Live comments 👀

[@chingisserikkazinov6875]

Столько значимых атлетов, а снимается плачевно

[@tonybradley2567]

Terrible coverage of this event , I hope the rest is better.

[@B4theend4]

This is so sad. One camera, no leaderboard, no clock, no clue who is in the lead and a 3rd string announcer with coaches helping in the booth for no pay. Is this the end of Crossfit. The west was so much better. At least they had more than one camera. With Hydrox gaining worldwide popularity this could be the end of our beloved CrossFit. To bad.

[@joshua_patterson]

Lol you aren't being serious I hope.

[@filledwithlight8202]

Tasia we love you.

[@870Meg]

The one time when listening to the commentators made want to stop watching.

[@suzannaqureshi]

One thing HQ is consistent at every year is their "pathetic media coverage". Whats the point of broadcasting if all you see and hear are the commentators. Coberage of athletes are beyond poor. They should learn from the people at Torian Pro.

[@870Meg]

The other regions had a far better coverage.

[@JuanArana-oy9zu]

I couldn’t enjoy this time, really just one camera????

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Hi Juan! Watch Women’s IE 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWVn52NndmdfNE Watch the Men here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3vOnaOPaa-qbbM

[@neilbe7118]

I'd rather watch the atheletes than the commentators

[@janinegamble-wc3dp]

After watching the Torian coverage, this is pathetic. Who is this guy who loves talking about himself?? Can’t even watch.

[@dailyhealthhustle]

The one semifinal that has a lot of heavy hitters and can’t even watch real coverage.

[@B4theend4]

I have seen young retired CrossFit women in Hydrox, which they killed. CrossFit just doesn’t seem to care anymore. Result sad.

[@luizreis4458]

Rockie transmission, my 7 yo son can do a better transmisson

[@DonovanLinge-vd4cn]

How are there such differences broadcasting all the events? Watch Torian, West Coast Classic and Europeans! Those are well done (multiple cameras, following different athletes, CLOCKS, etc..) but Syndicate is stuck with this garbage? Hopefully there are good people on the floor for recaps..

[@debbiea5737]

Are these humans or ants that we are watching here? You literally can’t tell who is who and instead all we get to watch are these lame commentators. It’s so sad that this is considered coverage. It truly seems like these streamed “things” get worse each year.

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Hi Debbie! Watch the recap of Individual Women Event 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWVn52NndmdfNE

[@martiniquedelport6006]

Actually pretty funny that the African region right now has better coverage than this.

[@8306101881]

Asia region was way better with camera..this is like teen/masters last year games, disrespect..shame on you guys

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Hello! Thanks for your message. Watch Women’s IE 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWVn52NndmdfNE Watch the Men here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3vOnaOPaa-qbbM

[@robertojr26]

terrible media TERRIBLE, NO LINES NAMES LOL, WE SEE MORE SCOTT THAN THE ATLHETS HAHAHAHA

[@Michael-op8uw]

Is this a joke

[@musiclover-wv9vg]

Torian Pro always has the best coverage, even outside on runs and it’s live streamed.

[@daniellara9847]

Same in the South American, they had drones flying all over

[@mvptrainingnz3123]

How can Torian do it so well & yet this coverage is so sub-par?? It’s obviously not that hard. #noexcuses (for a bad show).

[@331cfrazier]

It’s embarrassing how bad Crossfit is at Media year over year. #DoBetter

[@runnerap22]

I wish the live production would match the level of fitness

[@xm3di]

Why are they not showing the Friday sessions??

[@lowtech1234]

Another great call from Crossfit HQ......

[@BigGaloop15]

Shocking !!!!!! Still image of the floor and that's it ?. Shocking

[@simonpeacock9621]

Torian Pro puts this shit coverage to shame

[@Missthay1010]

Gotta say how bad the transmission is! No coverage on the running course, and no cameras on the athletes… very hard to follow

[@DaveJacobseniOS]

Good stuff Adrian and team! Thanks for the coverage ✌

[@willgazlay5711]

These lifts aren’t “world records.” They’re event records. Big difference.

[@JoshButler-kh4mi]

Are CrossFit reading the comments?

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Hi Josh. Yes, we are listening and appreciate your feedback. Watch Women’s IE 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWVn52NndmdfNE Watch the Men here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3vOnaOPaa-qbbM

[@christopherleisam3687]

We dont want to listen the commentary...we want to watch the action.

[@dannyvicente9509]

Quiero ver a los atletas no a estos cerotes hablar

[@andersemil5541]

Toomey so badass 👑 what a beast

[@zlatkozlatko3923]

Those events should be moved to Europe or Australia. There is full stands, good coverage and great athmosphere. This is just an joke, complete event. I can imagine how is to athletes.
