What REALLY happened on DAY 1 of the CrossFit Games 2022...

Part of the Team Woooooo! No kidding that key fob trick to find your vehicle works like a charm...sometimes you have to hold it up in the air to make it work - but the best life hack for this is to point it directly from the centre of your forehead (not even joking - it works!). And if nobody has told YOU Craig & Jas - you are absolute legends. Much love and keep grinding.

[@christyjackson8954]

Thank you for highlighting athletes that get missed! You & Jas are Legends 🏋️‍♂️

[@tpdircks]

My biggest complaint with CrossFit is how terrible they are at marketing the games. They need to have a 20-30 minute highlight reel for the individual events and it needs to come out within 24 hours. Thanks for doing this as it is the closest thing I can find to games highlights.

[@dawnc5797]

I agree. Just finished watching Tour de France a couple weeks ago and NBC Sports had extended highlights on youtube of every stage AND Peacock streamed it live and had full stage replays without commercials (if you have Peacock premium) if you couldn't catch it live. Granted the TdF has been around for 109 years and has a huge fan base, but CF won't grow the sport or the fan base by limiting their marketing.

[@Obiamajoyisrmd]

That’s not really an important part of marketing for sports

[@tpdircks]

@@Obiamajoyisrmd people won’t sit through a full day of team and individual competition so it is essential if you want to draw more eyeballs to the sport. I have never once watched a team event during the games. The money maker for CrossFit is Men and Women Individual events. It is the only way to grow viewership. Most people aren’t going to scroll through 8 hours of games content to try and find what they want to watch. No other sport does it this way and it is a headache for even the most faithful CrossFit fan.

[@Obiamajoyisrmd]

@@tpdircks CrossFit is growing tremendously without it. They want you to watch the actual events as the streaming and/or tv deals are meaningless without it. What you are getting are free highlights from various channels, which you are going to seek out anyway because it’s FREE. In summary, all these channels are pods are doing the marketing for them, for free, and even without it the industry still grows. Plus you can’t compare a 48 minute basketball game highlight real compressed down to 3 minutes, to an eight-hour event.

[@tpdircks]

@@Obiamajoyisrmd we have different definitions for tremendous growth. I’ll just agree to disagree with you on this one.

[@Empressmanifestor]

I liked the new set up with Boz …. I don’t feel he made the athletes look stupid… I feel he humbled a few athletes … anybody can do something well if you’re comfortable with it ….. but how how quick can you adapt to change???? That is the true test in life.

[@parker5225]

Love the jump rope variations. Amateur boxers can do the crossover, our elite should be able to do it.

[@todds3944]

maybe...however, double under crossovers are very different

[@anttisaksi5735]

So what is the real points status? And why doesn't the official CrossFit website have anything about the mistake on event 1?

[@jameslombardo2]

I’ve loved Boz’s programming, remember when legless rope climbs were introduced at the games - hardly anyone finished that workout! Always good to see new/og movements at the highest level. As a Californian and someone who dropped in at Santa Cruz back in the day much respect.

[@benital165]

Or pegboards. At least Boz didn't leave it for the last day to embarrass the athletes on TV

[@user-oj7co5wm8g]

Spot on. The complaints I see are all newer patrons who weren’t around in the early days to actually know what CrossFit is. Not enough boxes conveying the fundamentals and base methodology.

[@aaronjmet]

Nah that was very poorly programmed event. Boz should be ashamed. No girl made it thru. These athletes train there lives away with big money on the line. To program a joke of a movement where no athlete can get thru. Lame.

[@aaronjmet]

Legless rope climbs shouldn't be compared to a parlor trick with a jump rope. That's like saying they should learn to kick flip with a skateboard. Stop the nonsence

[@moniquegilbert607]

Also am loving it. It’s like watching a kid who’s been told for years they can’t have anything from the candy store, then is allowed to go nuts. The only controversial call so far is the double under crossover, but I don’t think I’ve been as excited watching CrossFit as when Nick Mathew got it. I was yelling at the tv!

[@cognito2g84o]

Great to see more of Moritz in your coverage!

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

I also don't really like that DU crossovers came out of nowhere without really much time to practice it. At this point it wasn't really about fitness and adaptation, but who was lucky enough to do similiar thing in the past. Also, lap counting and judging should be done differently, with 40 people on the course, it was impossible to track everything. I hope that HQ learned it's lesson. Rest of the day was 🔥🔥🔥. It's such a pity, that Lauren Fisher have problems with her shoulder, I was really hoping for close fight between Mayhem and Reykjavik.

[@Rizzerio1]

The crossfit games has always had some sort of random movement people don't ever practice or should ever feel like they needed to. They literally pull out the most random shit sometimes and like you said people just have to be lucky enough to have practiced that particular skill randomly.

[@Obiamajoyisrmd]

It’s always about fitness and adaptation for the new movements. If someone has familiarity it helps, but doesn’t trump having a certain level of fitness. Plus, it’s not always about who ends in first.

[@DGILtv]

😂 you guys are comedy!!

[@johnauld9851]

[@adp1736]

My Vauxhall Astra had the beep function 🤣

[@blueeyedbull67]

Loved the programming, it exposes the athletes that are not able to adapt. Yet, what a gong show! I cannot believe the decision they made for those who did too few or too many laps. In what world championship, Olympic games, etc..would they just grandfather athletes like that? Anyone that did too few laps should have been given a goose egg and those that did too many should have been given the time they finished with. If I was a coach or athlete that actually did the even properly I would be livid right now if any of these athletes were allowed to be ranked ahead. Seriously amateurish and foolish.

[@liv95liv]

As much as people are hating on the skipping event, it has 100% been the most exciting event so far! Definitely think the crossover standard should have been communicated properly and prior to the Games but it was interesting to see who was able to adapt

[@johnauld9851]

Was so funny watching them on the bikes. They look like a fish out of water. And the commentary were explaining how to ride a bike and what gears were. 🤣

If you have an iPhone and it's paired via bluetooth the car, Apple Maps will normally have the option to direct you back to your car (it remembers the location of the car when the phone looses the BT connection as you walk away)

Obviously some mistakes and a lot of complainers but I think it’s been a fun couple of days! Thanks for the coverage! Yeah the crossovers looked a bit silly but as people have said athletes could barley do pegboards when they were first introduced

[@kraz3721]

Yeah I really didn't like the crossovers, I just felt bad for the ladies especially. I was shouting to my BF "this is the worst event ever". I don't think I was a big fan of the first day all together. The bike-event was just hard to follow along with as well. I think it picked up after that though, and the Saturday was much more fun to watch IMO :) I do think they're doing a better job with covering more athletes and not just the famous ones. I was so frustrated last year when for example Koski was leading one of the events at the end and they just never showed him on camera. Or when Laura got second but they only focused on Annie. It's going in the right direction now I think, and it's fun to see so many new faces on the competition floor. And as always, this content is legendary :) keep up the good work guys!

All I'm saying is in the pregame vlog, we saw Craig on paralette type bars doing dips and then they showed up at the games 👀 Bozman watching the vlog?

[@CoachCocoy]

It seems to me that the "unknown" should already disappear for the sake of the show, especially if we continue to call this sport, athletes do not go blindly nor should they be "prepared for everything", also from the outside I think we make a fool of the elite of our discipline. As you say, these new skills are announced on Monday, for example, and the spectator will enjoy the performance of the athletes more.

[@kberanoyd]

I just think the programming is epic this year minus event 1. It really seems to be challenging everyone including the experienced athletes and testing them on raw athleticism vs only « classic » CrossFit type workouts. Love it.

[@steveb2748]

Great Day 1 Vid, THX!! I like the crossovers new and not communicated. These are doable and common in other sports training disciplines; taxes both the mental and physical ability. I do think having only one of these in a Games is a good limit. Also the unbroken element of an ‘easy’ movement is worthwhile.

[@samyg2020]

2019 Rogue Invitational had the C2 Biathlon event where athletes had to shoot targets. So the CrossFit Games introducing cross-over double unders is not the craziest thing. I even remember when the peg board was brought out for the first time. Nobody had ever used one before. Having said that it would be nice if the athletes were informed ahead of time so they don't look so silly trying something they've never done on the spot.

[@dawnc5797]

It's like no one remembers when Rich Froning couldn't do a rope climb. How often that had been used before we saw him fail at it, I don't remember, but there are plenty of times new movements have been introduced and athletes failed at them. That being said I feel triple unders would have made more sense than crossover double unders. I do like how it shook up the field and had athletes wondering what the hell just happened. Dominance is not competition and it's not fun or engaging for spectators when they know who is going to win nearly every stage and every CF Games. I can't imagine the athletes being excited to compete for second or third though I know they're grateful to be there and compete.

[@alexhadfield8946]

Your car remote doesn't beep? That's weird. Legend

[@jameshansen7108]

So... Question: If Ricky wins, how does that portray CrossFit? To me, it demonstrates (regrettably) that short term effects of PEDs + training have better overall long term consequences in competition, than just training alone, either that, or it gives you more of an edge in a competition. What are people's thoughts on this? Also, yeah, double-under cross over was a bit strange. Triple unders I agree would have been better. But also, also... I honestly think people only believe that this programming was ok because a few males actually got past the double-under cross over section. If they didn't, it would have been labelled as poor programming. Thoughts? For double-under crossover, I noticed that the cross-over should be done with the 'first under' of the double jump, then return to the non-cross over in the 'second under' of double unders.

[@kunfukai]

I hope Ricky wins! Man lost 4 of his best years, completely sidelined and ostracized by the industry with many wanting a life ban. Not in favor of using drugs for performance but he was clearly used as an example in a time where the testing was weak and most athletes were using shit. The size of the athletes during past competitions is almost impossible to obtain without enhancing drugs. So hopefully he wins to show people that it's ok and should be normal to come back from mistakes, we tend as humans to never really forgive and I hope we can change that.

[@jameshansen7108]

@@fitnessbyconnie and @Tiago Fernandes, so I may have misworded the question, think of it without Ricky being involved, what I'm asking is: If anyone used drugs/short term PEDs, and then entered a competition and won five (or more) years later, what does that say about how someone can win or 'get good' at the sport? I'm trying to ask this as more of an objective question, not as one that is against Ricky specifically. I have no stance on Ricky being in or out of the CF games, because I don't really care if he is or isn't in the games (plus isn't my place to say if it's ok anyway, I'm just an average fella, with a science-related question).

[@Greg-WBM]

Taking juice 5 years ago does not make you maintain a skill set and fitness level, nor does it give you that much of an advantage that you can carry it over. Zero chance. He did the work to get back here. I don’t like/care for/cheer for him. These are just facts.

[@jameshansen7108]

@@Greg-WBM, but juicing does increase strength in short term, therefore, if you use it on top of CrossFit games level training, over a period of time, you would expect to see a difference, e.g. say with PED 5 years ago, you get a 10% increase on your 1RM in the short term (I'm pulling that number out of thin air, I don't know how much increase PED causes for athletes in strength and/or cardio). If you did CrossFit games level training on top of this over a longer period, you will still have that 10% RM increase, by the time you come back. If that is the difference between winning and losing the CrossFit games, is that worth it? In a way, you could argue it's cheating yourself too, because you'll never know if you won by the short term effects of PED + long term effects of training, or if you would have the same long term effects of just training alone.
