The 2019 CrossFit Games - Pt.3

The “Free Ro,” campaign successfully sprung me from exile on Sunday at the CrossFit Games.
My day started at the crack of dawn when I joined Sam Briggs, Emma McQuaid and Sara Sigmundsdottir at a local triathlon.
I give my final thoughts on the final day and most importantly, I beat Tommy Marquez in a physical challenge

I didn’t know how cool Rory was until CrossFit canned him and he started his own gig.

[@Dode1936]

Glad you were able to capture Tommy's thoughts, opinions, and commentary regarding the both Games and test structure. Thanks for a great behind the scenes series!

[@naydaro4441]

Rory...nothing but a class act! This was great!

[@kelliemanning1063]

Great footage, chats and interviews. Glad you covered what the ladies did the day after the cut. Makes them seem more human and they took the cuts like ladies and just wanted to do something else to make the most of the weekend. Really great job (and Nat of course) with your own style of interviews because of your previous position at the Games and building relationships with the athletes. Happy subscriber and fan in New Zealand 👌

[@bikerchic2003]

The behind the scenes priceless and I'm so thankful peeps like you and Team Richey and Talking Elite Fitness are bringing us that. Oh and I can't forget The Buttery Bros! Keep doing what you're doing and way to almost get kicked out of the Games! LOL.

[@228danjo]

Great VLOG! I really enjoy it. Tommy M. hung over, the best. Reminds me of my days in the service and "hung over/still drunk PT". Great memories, and you guys proving you're regular Joes doing great things for the CrossFit fans. Coverage of Sam Briggs, Emma McQuaid and Sara at the triathlon, great stuff. I'm so happy someone had the decency to cover it.

[@thewonderdrummer]

So appreciated your honest approach to all that happened. Some of us fans were wondering if it felt as, 'strange' shall we say (?), on premises as it did via the streams... so getting an honest look at the event was really special. Thanks for keeping it real and raw!

[@thereececarter]

This Games series was your best. The edits and story were heaps above your others (China, Iceland, etc). Keep emphasizing a story but keep it organic. @rory & @nate, You guys are killing it !!! 💪💪

[@ptf55]

Tommy 100% correct that Mat Fraser "bailed out" the structure of the games. By the way Rory...going on your own was the best thing that could happen to you.

[@williambowden2340]

Great meeting you at the Games! (I was the fellow testicular cancer survivor) Really enjoying all of the content you are putting out, hope you can continue for many more seasons!

[@bizzmais]

Thank you , Rory, for this very fun, honest, revealing and in-depth collection of interviews, takes, testimonies. Keep up the good work. From Brazil.

[@bmxracernc]

Wow Rory, this channel and vids are legit - don't feel down at all about the life changes bro, we all go through it. You are legit and starting a new chapter. I'll be watching out for new vids all year. Peace!

[@corpsvet7096]

Rory, great commentary awesome coverage of the games. Have always loved your work in the industry. CROSSFITS losss. Just keep swimming.

[@KimberleyLynneM]

Thanks Rory! I went through a similar “demotion” and it’s great to hear you talk honestly about it!

[@ashleyhelliwell3189]

So much authenticity Rory..... really enjoyed this!

[@OscarIPerez]

Well done on this series. Have enjoyed it tremendously and some of the candid conversations that you had, were fantastic. Do agree with Tommy and how they bailed out the structure of the weekend. You see that as Dave continues to post results for each event and use the crutch of Matt/Tia winning. Interesting in a few shots how many of the top 10 were wearing Nike Metcons or other brands not Reebok.

[@marmitemel]

Loving this footage and games contents! Enjoyed the post games interviews too!

[@timnissen7801]

Great stuff Rory. Looking forward to more content as the year progresses.

[@giulianfavrin2753]

Thanks for the awesome behind the scenes stuff Ro! Glad there are still people like you covering the sport!

[@MeganKenny18]

Great series !!! Thanks for the videos Rory and team.

[@jennysok8320]

Love that she and Sara found a local race. You can take the athlete out of the competition, but you can't ....

[@jennysok8320]

Thanks for covering this!

[@nalstedde]

So glad you started a video series. It is awesome!!!!

[@BubbaBeast321Go]

Ro....great job. Subscribed.

[@mattdokken4382]

Top notch Rory!! Keep up the good work...love your videos!!

[@heatheranderson7069]

You did a great job, Rory! What a stand up guy you are. :)

[@albertsmith792]

They say change is good but in this case it really sucks. The games from a fan aspect is something I count down to every year and this year was no exception. The only problem is the new format is not good at all and the way they dealt with the cuts is garbage. When I say cuts I'm not only referring to the athletes. I'm also talking about individuals such as yourself. You in my eyes was one of the faces of crossfit and one of the main figures we could always depend on to keep us informed on everything crossfit. The way you're being treated is unjust and the shot callers need to get their stuff together. I hope the appropriate changes will be made for the coming years and thanks for all that you have done and will hopefully continue to do.

[@solidsnake710]

Amazing insights as usual !

[@kernal85]

Great videos, really enjoyed your footage from the games. Good luck with the channel.

[@NateEdwardson]

kernal85 thanks!

[@candicereign4139]

@thecameraman tryna get the tea about the Brooke wells incident 😂😂

[@NateEdwardson]

candice haha I tried...

[@travw6272]

I think the cuts shouldn’t go below 20 athletes. Once we get to that 10 it eliminates that comeback story we all love. I don’t believe froning would have ever won under these rules. I will say it proves how ahead Matt really is though because even with that difficulty in points he still won. I believe under last years rules Matt would still be way out ahead and it wouldn’t have been as close as it was.

[@brandoncjgrimes]

Great video! I think the race they ran wasn’t a half iron man though... it was bit shy of it. But still big achievement! Especially for these athletes who don’t train for tri’s specifically!

[@bs431980]

Thumbnail was great 👍

[@johnjay7739]

@bs431980 Better off keeping that to yourself.

[@Blixknits]

great content

[@Blixknits]

could you bring more cards next time :)

[@nealrutgerskid]

Awesome content. Just found your channel. 👍

[@06livefast]

Amazing content thank you Rory

[@NFS305]

Wow Sara Sig, what a lady.

[@jessicatorres6299]

So what are you up to this weekend? I’m going to run an Iron Man in between the Cross Fit games!! Alright mate!! 🤯😎

[@mbtiernan]

Basically the half ironman distance tri was a test for next year's games lol

[@liz9147]

Footage of the triathlon streets ahead of the actual Games footage ❤️

[@wilfriedl.3233]

So is Ro Vs. Tom(-my Marquez) the new Ro Vs. Boz - Please, make it so... In 2019, we had Armen Hammer Vs. Justin Lo Franco, 2020 should be Ro Vs. Tom #RoVsTom #TeamRo! And a QUESTION: how did the ladies who did the triathlon - Emma, Sam and Sarah - fare? Thank you for the vids, all the insights.

Burpees with a rim touch... oh fuck yeah... touch that rim

[@special1kase]

How'd Sara and Sam do?

That into song is 🔥! Anybody know who it's by?

[@jeremyneilsen1263]

"I like the test I don't like the structure".. Peeerrrrfect way to put it. Also balls that you don't get more access Rory. Dick move on their part. like what's the harm and after everything they can't give a media pass?

[@kevingamble1472]

Nobull tee shirt at games $38 Noobull doesn’t care about everybody

2009 CrossFit Games Champion...

[@paulbugden7708]

Tommy nailed it. It's tough for CF I'm sure to get things 💯 first time. The structure is volatile. Maybe that's the plan. It is run by a couple of very volatile guys. You can't create the structure to suite the fans Favorites. Some of those cut did not do their best! You can't train to sprint the workouts from event #1. And be there for event #12-16. Or can you?.

[@thereececarter]

BTW what was the results for Sara & Sams Tri? The seat/peeing was 🔥🔥😂😂😂

[@kadahle]

@Magicalleela posted this a few hours ago, but I'll repost it so you catch it :) race result. my7.raceresult.com/133262/#0_EECCB2

[@thereececarter]

Karl Andreas Dahle thank you!!

[@philfrohn7513]

Anyone know the opening song?

[@32srt32]

Why didnt anyone use a hook grip on the trap bar grip hold for time?

[@airplane3359]

Does anyone get on the chalk at the games after parties.

[@7331warrior]

See what you did there “behind the scenes” while thumbnail is showing behinds 😏

[@peterparahuz7094]

2:40 duathlon? biathlon consists of skiing and shooting.

[@wolfhunter6711]

In the past in the US they were call biathlons.

[@amen_ra6926]

For some reason Castro kept calling it the 2009 Games.

[@alexbrown2094]

It shouldn't go to 10 athletes period. It makes it more of a game and not a true test of fitness. The scoring changes too much and it makes certain things worth more based only on when it happens. That's dumb. If I want to watch something like that Ill go watch the price is right

[@emzzan88]

crossfit HQ is so freaking stupid for kicking you out!

[@brianbaumer9209]

How is it Rory’s fault for giving Brooke the phone? Shouldn’t the Athlete be at fault for having interference from someone else? It’s no different than saying my supplement was “tainted”. ... it’s the athletes responsibility.

[@wolfhunter6711]

He had a responsibility to video and report the games, not interfere with the process.

[@calamityswag7673]

Great videos, worst crossfit games in the history of the sport.

[@vivianmamboleo7538]

The CrossFit team disappointed this year

[@jiddukrishnamurti8163]

first song what name ?
