CrossFit Games: Day 4 - Behind the Scenes

[@Somepigscanfly]

Enjoyed watching this series guys. Props to CF for giving you the extra access, but massive well done for making the most of the opportunity 💪

[@jessm96297]

Was nice to see Justin and Ellie smiling after the weekend results ☺️ Great coverage guys and well done to all the athletes!

[@michellebradley8981]

Thank goodness CF was smart and gave you guys access! This was amazing and made up for CF's horrible decision to not put the key workout each day on KZbin! These vids were the only time many of us got to see the finale! Know your audience, CF! Love you, Craig and Jaz! ❤ Mahalo for all you do for us and the community! 🌺

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

Tbh, i saw the last workout of the day on youtube before all the influencers put theirs online. Except for the closing ceremony, that was way too late...

[@michellebradley8981]

You must have ESPN... Because the rest of us who don't do cable didn't see any of the final workouts each day! It just cut off. Sucked.

[@masclem]

@@michellebradley8981Or outside of USA. As we (non-Americans) don’t have ESPN, we got everything on the KZbin streams.

[@warren7039]

There were two videos each day. Example: Day 1, and Day 1 primetime (which had the last workout)

INCREDIBLE SERIES...THANK YOU SO MUCH You are living your best lives and sharing it with is for that and we are all forever greatful! Thabk you legends

[@shanew.7618]

During a time when it’s become popular to focus on all the negatives and shortcomings, I appreciate this team as a shot of positivity! Don’t ever change legends!

[@alan181090]

That's the only purpose why HQ give them the access, made the gemas look nice 😂

[@MsKatikindschuh]

Gosh I just love these BTS. Arielle and her husband are by far my favorite. Love it guys. Great work.

[@arielleloewen1]

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Craig and Jas, Thank you for your prolific work! 👍👏💪🏆🥇

[@BeauvanKoert]

Much love from the Netherlands! You're all legends! Yes, you too!

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Absolutely legendary content and coverage of the event, in many ways this may have been better than being there as we were with you behind the scenes, which would not be possible otherwise! Thank you for all of your hard work! You and the entire team that supports you did an incredible job!

[@TeaAndTunes]

Thanks for the content guys! I feel like this year has been more emotional than usual; crazy happy for people like Laura and Chandler, heartbroken for Roman and Ellie (amongst others). What a ride it was for the final year in Madison!

[@miles44-c1h]

STELLAR! Thoroughly enjoyed TeamRICHEY coverage, more than the actual ESPN broadcasts. Any day. Really nice, long clips - fantastic turn-around time! & you two know everybody! The UK sent over two of its most polite and engaged fitness freaks....& we'll look forward to seeing y'all upping the bar next year!

[@mariorodriguez7705]

It's so awesome to see a genuine loving couple enjoy doing things together. It even more enjoying when true crossfit fans like yourselves share your experience with the world. Cheers and thank you for the great coverage! Hope to see you all back next year.

[@truthisfreedom1616]

Thank you 🙏 You guys are legions!!

[@arielleloewen1]

Love you guys 🫶 loved chatting with you all weekend!

[@_Oscar326]

Excellent coverage over the weekend! Thanks for taking us on the journey!!

[@zumatse]

Thank you for the series and your job. Let's go!!!

[@MissAlexoDino]

Thank you SO much for making these videos!!! I’ve loved them SO much 😭 best videos you’ve ever made! I felt so close and near the whole experience of the CrossFit games and close to the athletes even though I’m planted in my sofa at home. Just THANK YOU!!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@neile66]

Your content was the best of them all. Thank you very much.

[@ryan_gardner09]

Absolutely loved the series team, great content as always and shows how well you are liked in the industry with the access you recieve not only from CF but the athletes aswell. You are legends

[@86emmy53]

Thanks for all the awesome content. I'll be heading to the HSTLmade shop to help support your awesomeness guys

[@chrisaishford3267]

Awesome videos, gave a true insight to the games. Really enjoyed that you featured a mix of athletes throughout all 4 videos. I met the both of 5 years ago at the games and your work is helping spread the message of CrossFit. Looking forward to seeing what adventures come next!!

[@peterhagstrom2638]

Hands down the best coverage of the games this year! Thanks guys!

[@AngelaNess11]

Wonderful coverage! Thanks for all the videos guys ❤😊

[@danielherrera1162]

Thank you for the great content, Craig. Trying to watch the games this year with a sense of disconnection has been frustrating. You’ve gone a long way to mend the distance CrossFit creates between the ‘fan’ and the competitor, thanks 🙏

[@fraserbarden3778]

Loved the full 4 day content of the games. Best vlogs. Best content. Enjoying all the way from Australia. Keep up the amazing work. ❤

[@selenaharmens]

Really loved watching the BHS of the Games! You’re an amazing couple, thank you for creating this!

[@douglasvollmer4073]

Seriously you guys need your own spot on TV to cover the games. You’re the only one I watch to keep up on the games. As always great content! Legends!!

[@sometimesising1016]

Matt talking about Sammy is my favorite thing 🥰

[@benplayford5977]

Simply GREAT content, wholesome

[@mvzinn111]

Best CF vlog! Hands down! Legend!

[@philipp9170]

Big thanks to you, made my last few days so much fun, very pumped for upcoming projects ❤❤❤❤

[@harrydadaniels]

Whoooo! Now I can stop checking KZbin every 8 minutes in hopes that this has been posted! Thanks for doing these!!!!!

[@damianmcneely7884]

Really enjoyed all the vlogs...the relaxed style, not in your face, totally at the athlete's pace and comfort - that's what makes these so good. You guys have that gentle touch, where people relax around you and while you're media, you're not full on - so congrats to you guys for an awesome job. And the games...phew, what a games...So disappointed for Justin but so delighted for Laura...Although rooting hard for Emma McQuaid and Emily Rolfe - just watching the videos and thinking about the workouts, really energised me and had me thinking about the athletes during my own workouts and gave me that little nudge to push on, lift another little bit, that reinforcement that when the cardio sucks and I'm breathing through my ears, to suck it up and push through - which is what it's all about. And the great thing is, when one person brings that energy to the gym, everyone in the workout gets a little nudge... WDQ static...passing the buzz from one to another...Thanks for everything...

[@grail25]

I thought I had miss your coverage of day 4. So happy it's out now :)

[@jakemaattanen]

I looked for it too!

[@FitnHealthyOne]

thanks for doing all the filming and content…I watched from Tampa, FL and still felt part of the community so thanks again! 😊

[@brentcolby7670]

Truly enjoyed the vlogs, GOOD ON THE CROSSFIT GAMES allowing the vloggers inside the ropes. it only helps to promote the sport

[@davidg.4915]

Thanks for the awesome behind the scenes vlogs!

[@lalampen]

awesome content - thank you!

[@antmarino1]

Thank you for all your work in producing the content 🙏🙏

[@SJane3]

10:05 .. hahaha... Arielle is such a gem!! So happy for her this season! She would hate training with me growing up because my coaches all would talk shit to motivate us during games. "(insert name) you're getting smoked out there, hurry up!" and I have for sure heard the "You can breathe hard after the game" comment more times than I can count! I love it though, it would motivate me to push it far more than a compliment ever would! Clearly Arielle did amazing this season, so whatever works!! haha

[@jane.7384]

Those four cfg days insides documentaries have been among the best and likeable pieces of content you have produced so far. Hats off to that/you! Thank you guys, now you have a good rest (as well as the whole crew) and cheers from GER!

[@AchimBehrens]

The Slowmo of the Ring-Muscleups really looks nice. You can clearly see the point of getting the body as high as possible with the swing before kipping.

[@quiksilver920]

Loved the coverage of the games!❤

[@jakara2582]

Yes Jaz!!!! One of my all time faves too! 🎶 😊

[@charlenechua6073]

Happy Wednesday Love the caption & I have been waiting forever on ep 4 on CF

[@chanettefredriksen3107]

Amazing vlogs! So pro!!

[@sam6mit]

Great to see half the podium spots held by Canadians!! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@kelcydepooter2296]

A) these are wonderful, thank you for your hard work! B) I didn't stand in line, but it was cool to see you in passing in Madison! C) the blocks were also used outside, but for the teams. :) Cheers you legends! 🇨🇦

[@chrislundquist6491]

Another GREAT video! Nice work and Thank you!

[@scottwalls7560]

Some of the best behind the scenes footage for a long time

[@andrewzimmer2541]

Best series yet!!!!!❤

[@lucu01]

LEGENDS unite ! Great content, as always - always smiling, positive but real, you manage to even put a positive spin on negative things, why I follow you and buy HSTLmade stuff. LEGENDS #wedontquit #lightweight

[@adamquigley8944]

Great coverage guys! 👍

[@robbiebrown1]

Great coverage. Props!

[@rp_utube]

I loved this and wish all the best to everyone. You are all Beautiful.

[@radicalrye]

This was the day Craig “stole” my lifting belt and ran through vendor village 😂 good times. So glad to meet you both again. Thanks for all the SICK CONTENT™️

[@alvinvega1467]

41:21 Fittest on Earth and what then what you added I laughed so hard at the airport😂😂

[@BeautyAlAdin]

oiiiii been checking the channel for this love it !!!

[@ryrytriplett8486]

thanks for reporting dude, your time and sacrifice is noticed. awesome!

[@ginlyn39]

You do need to go visit Arielle here in the great state of Texas! Have some real BBQ and go to Buc-Ee’s!

[@benallthetime]

Stellar stuff as always. Truly humanising these super humans

[@enjoyorgano]

Thanks for all your content RiTchey ;)

[@GoodtimeswiththeGoodies]

Such great content! Loved each video… sad to be done at Madison but rumor has it.. where going to get some good ol texas BBQ in Fort Worth 😮

[@roxastopher]

i appreciate your BTS footage goes up more or less immediately after the weekend; the official HQ stuff will be drip fed to us for the next few months.

[@maggyh3896]

I caught Jaz right after the last north field event. Really wanted to yell Legend, but you guys were running to some place way more important. I stand by what I said to Jaz. Girl you really make the show incredible. There is always a strong ass woman behind anything worth being a part of. Thinks for putting out incredible content. Don't know what I would have done without you and Buttery Bros. during the games.

[@RebeccaEWebber]

I did in fact pause to drink some water. Thanks team!

[@eolmos23]

Have they announced where 2024 games will be?

[@shinichikudo1401]

Vellner need to get it done!

[@mikeefield9828]

I didn’t notice the new Nike trainers making an appearance! 😂😂

[@benbecs8655]

13:11 I ruined your shot there by just standing like an idiot! So sorry to do that to you I feel so bad! Nice to meet you and thanks so much for your coverage!

[@wi11ialvl]

Will always root for Justin Madeiros

[@tylerreese7076]

Legendary legend

[@Walrydc]

Shout out to Jas for wearing her Travis Olives. I had mine on. It motivated her to wear hers! #legend

[@kellysealey57]

WOW. Amazing content guys. I never watch crossfit's coverage as its so rubbish. Your videos allow us to feel like we are there and in turn makes us more invested in the athletes. Crossfit MUST allow you guys in every year. It really makes the games for everyone not able to attend . NEVER change how you guys make these.

[@z3n9]

LEGENDARY!

[@brandiniron6112]

Commend Roman on his effort with a busted foot. But some serious BS on CrossFit for not being consistent with how they handle injured athletes. Consistently Inconsistent.

[@antmarino1]

“She’s just plops down in the water and reads a book - God, you’re perfect!” 🤣🤣😍😍

[@erica9563]

This was great

[@Dpowerz]

Shoutout dyslexia, really thought the "leader" jersey on the back was just Adler again

[@sometimesising1016]

😂bless

[@MDG1989]

Damn! We haven’t seen Royce “action figure” Dunne enough!

[@clausiusclapeyron7873]

been waiting for this one, pocorn time

[@fotoanthology-naveen1075]

Hey TeamRichey : If no one told you today you both are absolute legends...

[@Dalejames83]

Been waiting for this ❤

[@TrueRahf]

At around 32:20 we get a shot of an athlete and someone else hugging and having an emotionally intense moment. I reckon letting those moments linger leads to a pay-off for the viewer, whether we get a follow-up or call-back or not. Bit of a rapid cut away to a jarringly energetic moment this time.

[@ccjlhirt]

Great job 😊 Could you guys cover masters and adaptives next year?

[@EnoughRhetoric]

Great videos. You definitely cut people off a few times though mid word 😉

[@catherinebugden]

How did they not get splinters? I’m cringing inside. I always get sad when the games are over. Can’t wait to see all the competitions start again.

[@MichaelRuiz3]

Good job 🤜🤛

[@whatsupbadger]

Awesome vid as always but did anyone actually manage to read the women's leaderboard without pausing ? Maybe I'm old but seemed like it was on screen for a millisecond. 💪🤦‍♂️😂

[@andersemil5541]

As impressive as it was to watch fraser and toomey crush everyone back in the day, the games is more exciting to watch when you had no idea who would win up until the last event

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

Was it intentional to mis spell names in the series after Dave Castro spelled yours wrong? I saw Zack Talender (instead of Telander) before and now Jonna Koski (instead of Jonne).

[@turbdonkey]

Just sitting here drinking water watching.

[@gerrarddw]

You can’t spell Leader without Adler in it. The tears are still real watching Roman do his thing in event 11.

[@rather-reverend]

Something I'm super curious about is what happened to with Brent Fikowski toward the end of the final test. Did he maybe come out a little too fast, then run out of gas? I mean, Roman's third was TOTALLY earned (first would have been totally earned, !), but I was ALSO cheering for the Professor and SO looking forward to seeing him on the podium again.

[@manusanchez1618]

Im not sure, if he lost on purpose… maybe thats not how he wanted to podium. I mean, he dropped the bar twice right in front of the finish line.

[@tomyboumboum9822]

You've done an amazing job covering the BTS! Thanks for your work team Richey (no "t"!). Quick question: Was Rich Froning not around?

[@SvenGeorgiev]

Maybe my notifications dont work properly. But a Video about sunday, day 4 on Wednesday? That cant be. Why?

[@DylboBaggins92]

Tia is gonna come back with a vengeance 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@birgittamattson6154]

Met Arielle after semis so nice

[@TheStache_MTB]

LEGENDS!!!

[@birgittamattson6154]

Justin and Ellie are so cute
