A 10 second penalty in a less than 30 second event is not penalty it is a disqualification

[@kellysmiley3383]

agreed!

[@Olds79Starfire]

So give her a 1 second penalty, same result!

[@MamaAppalachia]

In a 60 minute event Mat Fraser got a 60 second penalty. In an event that's less than 30 seconds, a 0.5 second penalty would be equal to that. But the penalty was dumb anyways. Knocked her and Pat Velner completely out of the games

[@moonnoodles4539]

It didnt make any sense. 2 years ago when Kara Webb/Saunders didn't do all the lifts and missed 3 they timed her other stuff and decided to just add 6 seconds to her score. No penalty just using her stats to make it fair. Why couldn't they do that here?

[@thagr8uh8mt]

So what was the penalty exactly? I must have missed it

[@HoonAgain]

No sports on tv. Watching as much Cross Fit Games as I can. Finding I’m getting way into it when I normally wasn’t much into it. Hulu doc got it started. Thanks Cross Fit for all the uploaded content. Put more pure packages together for all us sports hungry ppl out here in covid times.

[@Fullblown671]

45:37 Adding a 10 second penalty to Brooke’s time is the most absurd thing in this years games....actually this whole new system is. 😤

[@davidjohnson4222]

completely absurd; because she touched a yellow line? Technically, she wasn't outside her line, she just touched it and now she is out of the games. What logic was used to determine that and a 10 second penalty?

[@SuperDan1006]

I’m blown away that a 10 second penalty was added to Brooke Wells’ time and essentially eliminated her from the games. She’s a top competitor. A one second penalty in this type of event is devastating, why does a 10 second penalty exist? These athletes work all year to be able to compete at this level. Terrible.

[@Olds79Starfire]

Yes I really wanted to see her humiliated on the peg board again in the next event.

[@dmtudder]

This format is not very forgiving. A 10th of a second would have been appropriate, but ten seconds, Why not trillion second penalty. On another note, The people running the games are playing with fire. This could be a popular are profitable sport, but it's being run and presented by amateurs. This is popular among xfitters, but it should be on a major network and viewed by everyone. It's going the wrong way. IMHO

[@Olds79Starfire]

@@dmtudder These men and women are walking pharmacies, no way It's ever going mainstream.

[@Caysum21345]

[@camerongray7767]

Previous years there has been a massive focus on barbell movements, its nice for a bit of a change this year

[@cup_and_cone]

While this is true and I agree about too many barbells in previous years, the events this year have been too focused on pure aerobic muscular endurance and is considerably lacking in both muscular kinesthetics (i.e. obstacle course) and muscular anaerobic power (i.e. max lifts).

[@Bob-zx7io]

Reebok needs to get proper timing equipment. Gudmunssson was a good stride ahead of Panchik at the finish.

[@JarredConeau]

I dont know how I feel about the events so far.. lots of running and very fast events, or long repetitive wods.. Last year was a lot more exciting.. but the week isnt over yet

[@jackie-iu3wm]

It is over for a lot of athletes.

[@AnnaBrownandTaiaha]

Just a thought, but why don't they fork out a little more and put chips on each leg????

[@cup_and_cone]

They do use them...do you not see the ankle bracelets??

[@AnnaBrownandTaiaha]

@@cup_and_cone did you not read the comment because the commentators said it depends on which leg the bracelet is on????

[@JoshMcGehee]

My junior high teachers do a better job putting on running events than CrossFit does. Timing chips on only one ankle when a split second can decide a win? Didn't they learn from their first sprint event way back when?

[@NaveenAlpha]

Agreed

[@idahoman325]

Seems like we are gonna have to have you arrange an example. Looking forward to this 🎉

[@sergiodelamota5595]

[@carolynreynolds4999]

I can't handle these announcers when they say that Mcleod and Mayer's times are the two fastest times in the semi-final, when in fact the ENTIRE other heat beat them.

[@macspud28]

So what position did Laura Horvath get? Also why was Brooke Wells penalised?

[@meandmyself1600]

Congrats Rogue, you made me lose interest in these events. You have timechips and such and still have to identify the athletes progressing to the next round manually? Same with the commentators. They use what they see on their screens but clearly have no access to the data of the timechips. In 44:16 you can see a screen showing "time to beat xx:xx", while the commentators are still guessing if 29 seconds will be enough. You should start working together with the teams providing the coverage for your events.

[@juliajefferson9974]

meandmyself1600 Also took ages to see Brooke’s time penalty written in red! But I could see it!

[@ianbrewer4843]

Great event, love this

[@jonpickford351]

This was the most painful sorting of qualifiers I’ve ever seen. The commentators must have been taking the piss figuring out the men’s finalists, surely?

[@Caysum21345]

why the hell do you need someone offsite to tell you the top times? Cant you just...look at the board and pick them out? The team in control of the times looked like a pack of idiots. And I wished they would explain why Brooke got such a severe penalty, it basically eliminated her from the Games and no one is explaining why

[@mrrichb10]

Caysum21345 athletes were told that no matter what they cannot step over the yellow lines or they would be penalized for going out of bounds and that’s what she did

[@MamaAppalachia]

Super confused about the programming this year. This whole set up just isn't the best at all... Like this is nothing like the past games this is all body weight / Sprint type events, let alone having all the cuts take place in events that have featured ONE BARBELL?!?! In the very first event???? Like wtf is this

[@closniev2939]

Completely agree nothing like the usual competitions. This set up sucks big time. Usually a very tight comp on the womens side to the end. This setup with eliminations so early on sucks. Lost interest

[@DrexPlays]

ya I havent really understood CF/CFhq decisions this year from top to bottom. the change of the open/regionals/ cuts etc.

[@enosbaltazar713]

Is it funded well?

[@ascyrax8507]

Not happy!!! Athletes did not have enough tests to make the top 10 cut yet....

[@mooreuproar2139]

Agreed. Far too many qualified athletes got cut during this event.

[@Louylou187]

10 seconds thats some bull

[@sajjadnajafi9610]

Very good

[@YellowTXRose1]

A 10 second penalty?!? Fire the whole committee that came up with all this 😂

[@darthdredz]

Im really really hating the event workouts so far. It's all suited for speed and endurance, there's no strength or technique. It's favoring younger unknown athletes and your top name veteran athletes are getting cut. Its going to make for an unwatchable final. This is just awful. Did they anticipate this, or did Rogue get cheap because they didn't want to supply and transport all the weights.

[@adamyaser7136]

They should have done the typical crossfit workouts first maybe split triplet, ringer, Standard to take the Champions threw and then start with the non typical crossfit events

[@Kemaaaaa]

Apparently both wells and Vellner stepped out of the yellow line boundary.

[@nesseihtgnay9419]

My friends and i have setup the same distance and turns like the event. I did 3 runs. First run i got 25.45 seconds. Second run i got 25.39 seconds. Third run i got 25.33 seconds. I think i did alright

[@juanjulioromancampos9814]

Se extraña el deporte.

[@benmoro]

Some athletes like Daviddottir have clear abs yet their belly looks kind of inflated. Any reason for that?

[@thinkforyourself2109]

Good question. One answer I saw online (not sure if it's true; use your own judgement): "they do so many squats that most get an anterior pelvic tilt that makes them stick their bellies out more ... it is most likely excessive lumbar lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt. We use our lumbar erectors so much, perhaps sometimes when we shouldn’t, that they get over facilitated. Constantly forcing that arched position. That’s why you see a lot of these girls, lean, six packs, but distended bellies. The TVA is the muscle that keeps the belly tight, and it isn’t strong enough due to the disproportionate use of the erectors."

[@anajuliaferroabs9737]

[@tomcazurb2228]

I don’t get what the judge are doing, they don’t put the fastest but the first of each heat. But in semifinal they put in first the fastest who are all of them faster than each of the second heat... they should put a “fast and a slow” etc... I don’t know if I m clear ?!

Good work by all the athletes. Absolutely abysmal judging and point system, I don't want CrossFit Games to go mainstream till they fix their shit. Absolutely stupid penalty system, unclear rules, budget chip system. This looks like amateur game show hour that is just unacceptable for the great level of these athletes.

[@CyprusXCM]

This was by far the worst planned event in the history of Crossfit games. Only to think that two top athletes were DQ'ed for a side step and their whole season ended like this is sad to say the least. Crossfit should seriously review their new cut system.

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

1:22 start team event heat 1

[@ryanrichardson1746]

Wichtrup with the fastest time in the competition gets 10 sec penalty and basically eliminated from the finals. Mentioned below with timing, how come they aren't using lasers to track finish times when so many of these competitions are coming so close at the end, instead you have guys and girls diving onto platforms (maybe that's the way they want it). Watched some earlier games and atleast I'm glad they have crash pads for the rope climbs now

[@massagejr]

By far the worst programming ever of the crossfit games. All endurance engine based or sprint based. No heavy barbells or even barbell cycling events. And all of the cuts have been made. Not fair for a lot of the athletes. Get rid of Castro...

[@k9leadstheway531]

Last couple years been a lot of barbell. This is good change of pace.

[@jeffsmith825]

Yeah the new format is absurd and entirely ruined the entire event. Whoever decided this needs to accept the result and step down. Why ruin something that was not broken.

[@coppito6326]

why is cross fit soo white?

[@slayermill8621]

Why does race matter? The Crossfit Games suck anyways. Racial minorities are doing themselves a favor by not taking part in this nonsense.

[@sarahursic1151]

@Narly waves i was just about to say the same . Sports not only start out white but ARE invented by white people and even the compitions that hold more than one sport compitions like the olympics are invented by white people . So since crossfit is in its infancy (has a meager 12-13 years to its name ) black people are not joing up yet .

[@tyreetrought671]

[@Pegdog100]

The cut system is way to drastic and killed it for me. Do 3 cuts. 100 to 75, 75 to 50 and finish off with 50 to 25. 10 people with half the competition left and so many crap workouts in the beginning is wack, doesn’t even feel like a CrossFit games.
