[@aclownunpainted]

This is great! Thank you so much for providing the final heat complete with close-ups!

[@benjaminyandle9017]

What is this music being played in the background…. I love classical music but not mixed with CrossFit…

[@rosameijering5161]

Yeah

[@dannymcguire3623]

Had no idea Brooke’s sister was also a weapon. Incredible.

[@whiterabit09]

anyone hers's favorite camera angle from the back of the crowd?? And who chose the crystal shop music?

[@eloyhurtadoblanco7829]

What’s the music in the back for? So annoying 😂

[@GamingKinda]

Does a great job hiding any music they may have rights to play at the show but not put on KZbin.

[@IsaCadieux]

Im sorry crossfit but this is bad. The commentary does not match the pictures shows, the background Music is way off, and we cannot follow the race. Im sorry but this is bad. Why not just show us the live stream with the live commenting? 😢 we love following crossfit competitions

[@mokpot]

I really want to watch these events Please repost them without the music

[@mcunningham55]

Obviously, you can't beat live updates, but filming the events like this is so much more engaging.

[@lisaouthier7859]

Love Danielle Brandon so much 😍

[@andrescast]

Commentator: Amanda Banrnhart is tossing the sled around like a rag doll , she's in first place! Cameraman: Focuses on anyone and everyone except Amanda Barnhart....

[@jayyteeET]

Not necessarily man. This commentary was from the commentators own live feed they had yesterday on crossfit podcast. They just laid this commentary over this video as a "live coverage" if you watched their original live it all matches with commentary. Crossfit media needs to step it up though.

[@katiebrick414]

Yeah... I think CrossFit media is going to reconsider this broadcast strategy. Also what's with the "calming" background music???

[@sicmic]

100% agree. The way crossfit televises competitions these days is absolute dogshit.

[@whiterabit09]

its what happens when you sack all your media talent.

[@rosssims7224]

@@jayyteeET oh wow that’s some bs. That’s why the video seems so disjointed. Ever since cf fired their entire video team it’s been downhill.

[@andrelovell246]

The commentary here was slightly disrespectful to the ladies on the floor. Speaking as though they now have a chance since mal is out. They all have a chance of winning, with or without mal!

[@stefanwilbur3332]

Idk about disrespectful but I see your point. Its a professional sport, assessing that the result of the competition is going to be drastically different because its top individual isn't there is a valid take

[@BlahBlah-gb6st]

You didn't listen properly

[@PierceWard11]

Haha not disrespectful just an honest opinion… they didn’t have a chance with mal in the comp.

[@andrelovell246]

I did listen... and basically saying that the other ladies now have a chance since mal is gone is a bit out of place.

[@tameikaliciaga22]

​@andrelovell246 agreed. Lot of hype around MOB, finally can focus on other athletes and still only focused on MOB...c'mon...

[@brianmorales5434]

okay here it is! i was wondering where this went. Thanks CF!

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Thanks for you patience Brian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2ataWiqeZxontE

[@sometimesising1016]

Thanks for finally showing us the event. I see your mom let you use her camera.

[@user-ky2mj5yf6h]

What is this background music…..

[@Crossfat1]

Why’s the video look all film effect ish

[@vitto8112]

Great transmission!!! Thank you

[@jerodpatterson2096]

What’s with the music?

[@tylerhariraksatakoon836]

Why did Sydney Wells have to pull hers to the red line and everyone else had to pull theirs cross the white line?….😢

[@notthesamecc1927]

ya i was wodnering thattoo. they kept saying red line but none of the first folks hit the red line.

[@john9292]

What's Up with the LoFi in the background of this video!!?

[@lisazappalarogel2839]

Where can we watch the other heats? I can see day 1 teams (all heats) but no other heats for women/ men individuals. Am I missing this or can this be viewed after live broadcast.

[@whiterabit09]

so Boz kicks off the regionals with an exciting stationary bike ride......

[@kyucklebeans]

Dude really programs the most boring shhh possible.

[@alphariusomegon6374]

CF media should look at other sports to see what a quality broadcast should look like ... this is simply horrible and disrespectful to competitors. And the fans too. 👎

[@notthesamecc1927]

they should put name plates on the treadmills and other equipment where possible.

[@rosssims7224]

I see why they didn’t film all heats now. Why is CF coverage so inconsistent year to year? I’d rather pay for the streaming if it guaranteed the quality.

[@Jason-yb4gz]

This music is devoid of energy

[@ReadAndThrift]

I hate the way this looks. Whatever camera they’re using I don’t like it 😩

[@shannonapaapa3374]

Shut up, those media personal are there to do a job and the attire choices of the women that compete is what’s cringey. Get a life

[@laylaparast]

What is this music? Weird.

[@huddlespith]

So is there no way to see the other heats?

[@bdotpapi]

CrossFit once again running their company into the ground by trying to reinvent the wheel. The angles, the background music, the commentary constantly on things that’s off screen. You never even put the work out on screen. Stop trying to fix things that aren’t broken. Year over year growth and engagement up until 2018 and then nothing but a disastrous mess ever since. Get your shit together. No one will watch the games if this is how you present it.

[@christeenforster4645]

Hope the men’s is on the way! ALSO next time please lose the incongruent annoying music

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Yep. It's right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2ataWiqeZxontE

[@Tuamotu]

Agree. The music is awful.

[@ebeforever1]

The music is unbearable. Also we could use some female commentators.

[@EnderFitnessLifestyle]

Why the relaxing mood music on a Crossfit video??

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻

[@dawnc5797]

Someone should be fired for this.

[@mabokachabatsane7582]

the tough sport ladies want to win 🎎

[@13AAC]

Brooke wells ♥️

[@jipi7]

I don't understand the relaxing music that they put in the background in the video, it doesn't make any sense.

[@ClockCutter]

Lol. What on earth is that background music?

[@JC-oj5tz]

Wait ago to both Syd and Brooke looking good girls.

[@seejay37]

Someone decided to use all the B-Roll footage

[@Hollywood_Highlights07]

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 NLT

[@notjackdaniels22]

so you can upload it... but not broadcast it? Makes sense...

[@Noecrmza]

Day 4??

[@joshualambrecht1516]

This is bad.

[@waeulbr]

How long will that last?

[@evolutionsportsnz]

Wtf is with the piano music I feel an intro to the masters is going to come on. Worst of all its not even good piano music 😂😂

[@cindysteffens9254]

What sleds are they using? Looks like just a piece of cloth

[@dannyl3858]

Summary from all the comments. Music sucks hardcore, camera man inconsistent coverage of top competitors in the heat, commentators said inapropriate things, exercise programming was lackluster.

[@kay_to_the_J]

Please change the elevator music in the background 😂 So odd

[@aaroncloud4111]

Are these really considered hand over hand pulls

[@guymontag2948]

I really don't like all the machines being used. It's like watching people work out at the gym.

[@cmaples1983]

The massage music in the background is terrible and oddly out of place.

[@daanjetten8777]

Why is the registration so crappy

[@marialeg7118]

music was annoying

[@robertboyd3898]

Where is Mal O’ Brian ?

[@tylerhariraksatakoon836]

She’s not competing this season anymore. Personal issues ❤️

[@robertboyd3898]

@@tylerhariraksatakoon836 just too bad

[@lisaaldridge8756]

Please take the lift music off. My brain can't cope with background commentary, background noise, background lift music and foreground commentary. It's really hard to watch.

[@jigarpatel4515]

Camera work sucks they are talking about Amanda Barnhart and they never show her like wake up camera person

[@DreaddyGIRL]

Why I listen classic music?🤣🤣🤣

[@leokal1237]

oh god i hate mic popping -.- :D

[@By_Rant_Or_Ruin]

I want to see some of these women in movies - action movies. The next sci-fi space adventure? Space marines? The next John Wick baddies? Good luck throwing one of these women over your shoulder. It would be the first Wick that ended in a pile of bodies standing over him. Anyway I can dream.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Brooke and Sydney Wells? 👍

[@curly874]

Don't be silly, women are weak. That is why they reduce the weight by a full third for the women. Horvath is about the biggest and strongest woman. She probably weighs about 160 pounds. Fifty years ago, I wrestled heavyweight in university at 235 pounds at 5.0 % body fat. That leaves her 75 pounds of muscle short......oops.... idiot - The retired redneck accountant

[@whiterabit09]

instead of these badass ladies they cast that little boy in the second Wick film...

[@Gaiartemis]

So confused.. why could they not show this at the time of the event?

[@stokedonearth5097]

You think you’re good at CrossFit as a Man until you watch women’s CrossFit games. 😂

[@armyguynyc1]

These commentators are horrible. -They’re not in sync with the camera shots. They commented on athlete performance while the camera was showing different athletes performing different movements multiple times. -They’ve called many athletes the wrong name. They called Danielle Brandon Amanda Barnhart twice. -They said Brook Wells was wearing all green while Brook was wearing all gray. They skipped Commentating 101 - have your act together.

[@jayyteeET]

Not necessarily man. This commentary was from the commentators own live feed they had yesterday on crossfit podcast. They just laid this commentary over this video as a "live coverage" if you watched their original live it all matches with commentary. Crossfit media needs to step it up though

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

I guess they mixed up Brooke with her twin sister, Sydney, who was wearing all green.

[@blaknyte1]

I am glad that Toomey is pregnant and not competing. So now, rookies and veterans have a fair chance of winning. 6 years in a row being the fittest woman on earth is enough statement to make. Froning has 4, Fraser has 5 .. Toomey has 6 and that’s enough ATTENTION please. Quit hugging the competition .. let the others prove themselves in the field. You’ve had 6, Tia .. that’s enough

[@vanillaghetto]

TOO LATE. FAIL.

[@kyucklebeans]

Boz the Boring...dude, these events are unwatchable.

[@RT-tn4ry]

An orthopedic surgeons dream ! Well a place in Vail anyways.

[@kca47666]

Confused with the finish line?!? Why are some stopping after the white line, then Sydney wells on the red line? At the men’s event they also used the red line 🫤
