Men’s Individual Event 1 - 2024 Europe Semifinal

[@samuele.marcora]

Nice to see WOD SCIENCE as a commentator here

[@ryanbringas6435]

Anyone notice lazars clean and jerks? Picking up the barbell as the bar is bouncing on the first 4-6 reps. Just wondering how cf is judging considering they blasted the open athletes with penalties. Lazar picks up the barbell before the bar is at rest. Hard to notice as the majority of athletes are gassed and let the bar come totally to rest.

[@C0m4nnch3]

Normally that would be a no rep I think. But I don't know what was said in the athletes briefing. I doubt it's allowed since nobody else seemed to be doing it.

[@NicolaiOH]

Meanwhile, there seems to be a consistent technique flaw across many of the athletes' jerks. The jerk finish position is standing with feet in "normal standing position", which in this event apparently seems to include a straddle stance (with feet well beyond hip width).

[@francescavigneri4370]

It could be that they allow athletes to start and finish in the same stance...so if the athlete's stance Is Wide since the beginning of the movement, the athlete can finish the movement in that same stance (i Hope i managed to explain). As for lukic i think it's not permitted to do any bouncing

[@NicolaiOH]

@@francescavigneri4370 Hopefully that's the case (and that athletes were notified). I also noticed a guy doing push press, clearly not receiving in a bent leg position. That violates the 'jerk' as well, so perhaps the jerk is interpreted as a shoulders-to-overhead instead?

[@Craig_Alexander]

@@NicolaiOH yea but thats even harder lol

[@Andy-828.]

Too much camera time on the commutators (With their endless chatter) instead of the athletes. Very poor production!!!

[@ArletteMaotieBomahou]

The talking in the background is killing me. Are the comments from the hosts necessary?

[@MattKicklighter]

I don’t mind the commentary just keep the camera on the athletes

[@noahbrown592]

Yeah the camera goes to the commentators and wayyyy too much.

[@ArletteMaotieBomahou]

@@MattKicklighter I had to switch off the sound to enjoy the performance of the athletes fully. The comments are non stop and so annoying

[@ArletteMaotieBomahou]

@@noahbrown592 Thanks so much! I am glad to hear that I am not the only one feeling this way

[@christopherdetourbet725]

I know. Chase gets carried away and side tracked more often than not. Talks about things that have noting to do with Crossfit.

[@devinbannon512]

This is hard to watch I wasn’t sure what was goin on due to the obnoxious blabber/ viewing of the commentators

[@madeleineadams9657]

I love the commentary. All pertinent

[@dannymcguire3623]

😂

[@edoardottt]

go Zenoni🎉!

[@Skepticalfitness]

There is quite a few turns in that run. Three 90 degree turns to get around the barbell and another 7 or 8 on the course including an "S" turn and a 180 degree turnaround. 50 turns or so for the entire workout. That's going to mess with pacing.

[@jenmeal03]

Did you see the “course” the Asia SemiFinals had set up?! It was all indoor and looked like they were running the ropes aisles at an airport 😳

[@Skepticalfitness]

@@jenmeal03 I had not yet. Thanks for the headsup! Can't compare times on Event 1 across regions at all. I want to do a comparison on these courses.

[@julie4536]

Listening to a commentator talk about dreaming about an athlete taking his shirt off. wtf. Missing Sean Woodland.

[@joederfler3534]

Is there a way to mute the commentators

[@HunkyvidzChi]

my thoughts exactly.

[@Kemaaaaa]

no way in hell this was 800 meters

[@kyucklebeans]

Yeah these guys running like 500m and the Aussies are doing hard yardage uphill. Just awful, unwatchable programming by Boz, per usual.

[@ivanhozeshed6091]

Dukic bouncing the bar no rep almost every on LMAOOOO

[@julioberr1562]

Dear CrossFit games, please take NOTES on the quality of this video compared the 💩 y’all put out on YT!

[@MultiMcgurk]

Pretty much all no reps by dukic . He never let the bar settle on the ground . Poor judging

[@ryanbringas6435]

I just noticed the same thing

[@zerohero6602]

Seems consistent with all the other videos from this year. Thats the problem with who can workout the fastest.

[@francescavigneri4370]

Totally agree...he Always use the bouncing of the bar

[@WayneGlass1]

At the end of the day, the judges aren’t being paid to care

[@remranger]

Doesnt happen often I mute a video

[@ngaston09]

I thought it was clean and jerk. Dude was doing a press. Shouldnt that be a no rep

[@roxymarrese]

30 or 45 degrees…?

[@TenzDenz]

When is Mayhem

[@sidhayes6168]

Stop talking !

[@Craig_Alexander]

sadly jonne prob got injured in preparation

[@KenMatthews-bd3ok]

😮😮😮

[@P.Telezhynskyi]

It's so boring to watch the commentators, complete crap.
