13 rounds is nuts. What a little beast. An absolute PERFECT workout for her. She’s gonna be one to watch for sure. She’s very well rounded and now could argue has the best coach n the game. Be fun to watch for sure. 🔥💪💯🏋️‍♂️👊

[@christopherlancaster6056]

Matt's face when she finished. "Did she just do that". Girls an absolute machine. 💪👏👏

[@nsaydu]

Mat's reaction at the end says it all. It's like he's looking at the scoresheet and back at Mal like " You really did that!!!! Damn🙌" AMAZING!!!! 👏👏

[@blueeyedbull67]

Her pacing was amazing. Did not seem to slow down from start to finish. After she finished Matt seemed to say "Whoa!"

[@santiagoferrari1973]

For the first 10 rounds she is speeding up.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

Matts face was awesome, hahaha

So sick that Mat is her judge. Cool to see him involved with the new generation

[@jonandersen7208]

Judge and coach supposedly

[@mahifit4706]

Yes🤙

[@JBoudreaux0712]

Mats expressions at the end are really funny.

[@marisolortega3001]

Mat Fraser’s face it’s priceless…I’m glad I don’t have to do BS this anymore…Lol 😄🤣😂 Well done guys! 👏

[@patriotfury4013]

Her future is obvious and inevitable! She’ll soon dominate the podium!

[@faithfulskeptic936]

Perhaps so. Great talent and coaching. But the Games are a very different environment than the open. Different workouts. More workouts in a more compressed schedule. F2F competition. Older athletes with length like Tia or Halley (and others) will have an advantage in that world.

[@patriotfury4013]

@@faithfulskeptic936 she certainly has some great coaching. Having Mat in her corner should show some great results in the long run. Her 7th place finish at the games shows how close she is to that podium and only 18 years old. I agree some of these more seasoned and stronger athletes will be hard to beat soon but over the next few years I think we’ll see her inch closer to the podium. If I were a betting man, I would bet on her seeing the podium with 3 years from now. If she doesn’t, I think a healthy Mal will dominate through her 20’s. All we can do is speculate but I’m confident her time is coming.

[@faithfulskeptic936]

@@patriotfury4013 I agree with your prediction. I think she has more upside than Haley; however, this is due to natural talent than to coaching. Hard to beat Froning and the culture he had created at Mayhem on that score.

[@lilariki3183]

MO with Matt is a smart move. I said this from the beginning she’s the next Tia. She’s on the podium this year.

[@bonman75]

In her first year as a Games athlete, she got like 7th or 8th. Townsend created this monster in Mal.

[@samantharenee4124]

Mat’s face says it all at the end! What a machine, awesome job girl!!!!

[@donethier7935]

That little smile on Matt’s face at the end said it all he know’s he’s coaching a special athlete, yes it’s early to say but I believe Mal is headed for great thing’s in this sport!! 🇨🇦🏴‍☠️

[@dav369]

It might not this year might not be next but Mals coming for that leaders jersey 🔥

[@depressed_tacos]

I cannot get enough of these young athletes!!!! Go Mal! 🥳

[@christophercowan1645]

Been doing xfit for 10 years 6 days a week. I cannot fathom this level of fitness

[@donkey3409]

I mean, if you were also doing 4 session a day, you would have been a Games athlete by now. YOU are AMZING for be consistent the way you're.

[@markanthony4354]

if u are not near this level, probably training to much, try 4 days a week, more rest

[@sethhall6200]

@@markanthony4354 lol what?

[@markanthony4354]

@@sethhall6200 burned out

[@sethhall6200]

@@markanthony4354 the assumption that if you're not a games athlete level performance after 10 years it must be because of burnout is just wrong. Christopher is probably just a typical affiliate athlete that does a 1 hour class. The athletes in the video train 5-6 hours a day with intensities most never touch

[@marcleembruggen5973]

Mat immediately knew that it would be top score. He was like woahhh

[@BernhardKohli]

I timed the clock because I thought the were showing an accelerated video! 😆 That her speed kept constant is just mind-blowing. Next sponsor Duracell! 👍💪

When the GOAT is your judge, you just know you have to go next level. Love to see it

Now that was GO TIME!! You killed this workout!! never once stopped, nice job!!! focused and determined!! :)

This new Generation of CrossFit Athletes that is gonna be raised is a whole another Level..so exited what the Future brings

[@nightworg]

We already new that Mal is good at wall walks, but still very impressive. Great to see Mat involved in the next generation.

Mat, thanks for the video! You're still the star of the show😜...I would much rather hear what you are saying (to Mal) rather than some background music!! Thanks!

Wow, 200% focus on reaching the goal. She is amazing, always stops only at the finish line, keep it up 🏆💪

I thought both sides of the dumbbell should be touching the ground ? I don’t know the rules. looks like her right hand only one side of the dumbbell touching the ground . Is the a complete rep? Pls educate me
