[@8andre3]

Not all heroes wear capes

[@singleprouddaddy8012]

Reminds me im far of my goal, but yet working on it. i did 16.5 in 15.03seconds with only 44.5pounds. it was the second part of the workout tho. warm up was 400m running, then 3 sets 800m run, 12pull ups, 12 hand stand push ups. thinking of it i only do crossfit approx 3months so im satisfied

[@somesinger1575]

Was hoping for a more enjoyable race, but was fun.

[@whitetrashtrucker5785]

As much as I enjoy watching crossfit events, and following the sport, I just cant get past Dave Castro's annoying ego.....the sport needs a new figurehead.

[@letswalkabout]

+Steve N This is what happens when you let your coke dealer host.

[@Yeahhhhhhhbra]

mate, 100%... Castro sucks so bad..

[@HuskerFitness]

Really cool! Thank you crossfit

[@SimonVovko]

Sooo disappointed in 16.5. They gave 3 of the strongest athletes to do thrusters and burpees!?!?!

[@pervyboy69]

+Simon Vovko what a waste!

[@FrozenSurf]

Fraser with Nike socks!? Much respect

[@maksimoleynik]

Awesome!!!

[@sisal111]

56:47 "I think we will never see someone as dominant as Rich Froning again..." well 4 and some years later :) who could have thought?

[@djm122270]

Nice...they're bumpin' "Tribe Called Quest". Rest in peace, Phife!

[@tylerbubin1118]

Where can we see Castro, Ro, and Boz do the workout? Anyone have a link?

[@ohmytoshi]

awesome people!

[@maxximus3215]

First person to beat rich in an announcement? More like first person to annihilate rich in an announcement with that 35 second gap ;)

[@davidgarcia9109]

los chicos han tenido un tiempo fantástico a sido genial enorabuena a los tres

[@velvet767]

Tall guy last place, medium guy middle place, short guy 1st place. Seems as a lot of fire power to bring to a very sub exciting workout. Plus burpees over the bar had been done all ready. Sub par workout for sure.

[@davywilliams8048]

Fast pace. hope I can just do it in like 15 min

[@bkzlatan]

they are using a shorter barbell which makes a lot of difference. i have done a research on rogue site and propably they use the C-70 Bar, which is 35lb. my best time in the same wod, same weight but 21-15-9 is 6.30min with the big 20kg barbell.but i was at my beggining it was about 4-5 months after i started crossfit. i have been training crossfit for 1,5 year and compare to all the other guys i see arround in the gym i'm the most fit. now, their time seems unhuman. watching matt after the wod walking arround like nothing happened it makes me a little curious. also he didn't break a single set. without some extra help it's impossible to score the same time.

[@s.a.8402]

Josh Bridges did it in (7:15) one hell of a beast

[@Alex01895011]

I got 30 minutes. Looking at these guys compete really makes me wanna get better tho

[@yaraya8580]

Pura Vida !!!

[@raulchagas5061]

I'm Axel Foley.

[@JoeDirteOutside]

Ben's shorts are badass What shorts are those?

[@JoeDirteOutside]

thanks, got em

[@travelindave6458]

Serious? For me Mat did a no rep at every single burpee in this open, top athletes should show the right way to do it!

[@mpsarmi]

WHOA. Rich leaned out...

[@HeadBlasted]

lets be honest, Fraser is better than smith, but he is with nike so they didn't want him to win

[@andresguerra51]

Agreed.

[@c3ramics]

Had Fraser not bombed out of the chipper with the pig it would've been a different story. Fraser admitted that he never trained tire flips in his entire time in CrossFit. Big mistake on his part. We should all be on Smith's side honestly, but he's just not as marketable to CrossFit.

[@oh_itsjenna]

seeing julie do the workout requirements this year is so bittersweet :(

[@mballiro]

I don't think Froning cared about this workout I still think if he went individual he would win. I'm kind of disappointed with this workout tho I mean come on they should have come op with something crazy. I hope Dan Bailey wins this year he deserves it

[@onepunchtyler]

+mike b yeah I wanna see Dan finally winning

[@Velizarification]

Dave definitely can be more creative, I've expected a heck of a lot more show, new and complicated workout. #davegetssloppy

[@datboicoco3132]

I would have liked to see Khalipa in there.

[@ollyosborne3097]

Haircut Castro!!

[@ccmedia7441]

Boz on Leaderboard with 10:03 score? more like 12:03 double check that Boz or CFHQ will deduct 15% of your reps

[@TheMcnooly]

Why is Castro talking like Yoda? He sounds even more annoying than usual. Wasn't aware that was possible. Awesome performance from the athletes!!!

[@adamfriedl5197]

Whats the name of the song at the beggining of wod, please? @30:29

[@JackGunson-wc4cs]

do you know the name?

[@abra9742]

My question got in and it was the 1st

[@tonydatiger147]

rich looks like he's ready to leave individual game forreal

[@stayedleopard4]

Yeah he doesn't look like he's at his best for individuals like before

[@393Dima]

+Tony da Tiger other in life is more important for him. his focus is not anymore be the best in crossfit. familie faith and other thinks are more important

[@tankthefrank4650]

As much as I like Ben I really want Mat to win this year...but if Rich comes back then all bets are off.

[@Apjooz]

Why is Castro wearing a hoodie, he should be showing off his muscles in a tight t-shirt. Is he of Cuban descent by the way I just noticed his name kind of sounds Cuban.

[@ОООПриволжьеТеплотехника]

where is Paleo Nick ?

[@frankgreen3295]

whats a workout?

[@cmillerlm]

Maybe I'm just being overly cynical...but, they (finally) penalise Josh Bridges for 16.4 then immediately announce that 16.5 is...14.5...a workout Josh Bridges won Worldwide in 2014. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me. Are HQ actively trying to force a Bridges win in the 2016 Open?

[@abuhassanabo]

Clearly illuminati.

[@jenkins054]

Rich let him win.

[@bingahgread]

20:45 Rich to Ben: "Shit this one sucked. Not again."

[@jayat8070]

Not looking good for Ben this year, mat looks strong this year and so does Dan Bailey for that matter

[@EAZYMIXTAPE]

Matt Fraser wearing Nike Sun Glasses & Nike Socks. Lol. "Don't Ban Our Shoe, Beat Our Shoe." #JustDoit #NIKE

[@DragonBoarder]

+EAZYMIXTAPE Do you know which sunglasses they are?

[@yunazzi]

what's the 1st song when workout starts? Anybody?

[@JackGunson-wc4cs]

do you know yet bro?

[@PE4UR]

STARTS AT 38:40 :D

[@jrbloggins]

Isn't Fraser pushing off his knees on his burpees?

[@ayushtserenkhash-erdene2150]

Tommy predicted right. 15:12

[@Jerzius]

I mean Matt didn't win by a landslide though.

[@seblac]

what's the song at the begging of the wod. ??

[@JackGunson-wc4cs]

do you know yet bro?

[@hybridathlete8920]

froning looks thinner.

[@BashirAmin]

This is the worst part for Rich Froning after running

[@xpsgc]

so harsh on rory on the update show, lol

[@colin_6ix]

Would rather have seen them do something like 16.2, this was kinda boring imo

[@YahavKatz]

25:43 THE PAIN

[@KefistilaKanister]

What is the name of the Commentator girl? Anyone know that?

[@eivdjo]

+KefistilaKanister kiki something. Check out sevan's instagram

[@angelomagalhaes599]

At 20:09 in blue shirt looks like Zach Efron?

[@eivdjo]

[@Anton_Balandzin]

А нигде на русский не переводят?

[@maximilianogomez5688]

How old is Mat?! o.0

[@allisonwald754]

26

[@ayushtserenkhash-erdene2150]

Two champs... and Fraser. LOL. 15:08

[@SoRusted]

easy to be the best when you complete only against 2 other people

[@alexismacias554]

SAO if you know what I mean...

[@Guidoespinolafsa]

16.5 = 14.5 ......

[@johnjamesweatherstone997]

32:40, guy flexing to the camera, someone extradite him to the UK so we can put him in prison for being an absolute tool.

[@afrosoul4eva]

Girl at 55:40 to the left with the hat.... I think you're hot.

[@lazarukic5677]
