Unless he meant to say black eye! Lol

The 5 who had the highest score in the first online portion were the 5 that made it here. That was of course a much bigger field. But they all had the same opportunity to make it to this point 🤷‍♀️

It’s scored by whoever has their chip timer cross the line first.

Every box owner decides their own costs. Where I live it can vary from around $100 all the way to $200/month. I am sure there are cities where it’s less and others where it is more.

Who cares about what you think. Competitive sports should not be restricted to people who are way genetically above everyone else. No one wants to watch track and field. They look like aliens compared to normal people

@AwaketheDawn Interesting!! Still, as soon as they announced it I instantly thought of Maddox, so I’m shocked they didn’t all use that technique

Anya Deering she actually asked Samuel Kwant and his coach right before the event to share Kwant’s technique with her, and she used it in that event for the first time.

The sleds started at a tape line on the 2 yard line on one end and had to cross the tape line 2 yards into the end zone. The yellow lines are not in play.

lucky for you it's a playback, so you can choose which part of the video you want to watch...

Too much heavy muscles. = strong but slow ! Honestly they all was moving slow, the least slowest won . 300yards =274meters

Lol

Agreed. They should put timing chips on both feet

The timing chip is only on the left ankle and the guy in second crossed right foot first

0.4s is huge in a sprint tho, they should've used a photo finiish

Oops!

@Joyce B your right because I missed it all but the award ceremony lol. I still don't know what happened to Haley adams . i thought for sure she wouldn't finish no lower than 3rd.

@James Geschwender Says event 12 is supposed to start in a few minutes at 2:45pm California time

I'm in Florida and it says event 12 starts at 9:45 eastern time so 6:45 on the west coast if the west coast is still 3 hours behind the east coast. Been a while since I've been to school lol

😂😂

LoL

I clicked on your link and then instantly threw up once I realised I'd mistakenly clicked on the girls event...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

I did the math, if they were only going 10mph 0.4 seconds is seven feet. If they were going 22mph like DK Metcalf in last night's Seahawks game they would have been covering over 30 feet a second or about a 13.5 foot gap.

@BrandonHD Also came here to say this.

Thats what I was screaming. 4/10ths would have been a massive gap.

Agreed. Somebody pulled that number straight outta their ass... Anybody remotely familiar with sprinting knows 4 tenths would be a gap of several meters - even at their reduced speeds

I can see the other guy's front leg hit the ground before Fraser's. Idk if it's normal to ignore that and focus on the timing chip in races.

I’m finding most of it boring. Never thought I’d say that.

@Mikael Hansen Take that up with CrossFit, not the athletes. She did nothing wrong. Everybody has their own particular style & method. That's what makes is so entertaining. I like the difference.

@Harry Moorehouse yeah lets call BS to physics, that always works out well... Never said she did anything illegal. I just think it’s a shame that they allow the athletes to do the movements in another way than they are intended in normal training.

@Mikael Hansen BS! She would've got called up on that, if it was not allowed. She nailed it! Like I said, it's in the glutes.

Not really. By lifting it the area of contact is reduced and this reduces the friction. Furthermore by lifting it the weigh which generates friction is reduced. So she just game the movement. I think it’s a shame. Just like the slam balls turned into ground to overhead instead of a slam. It’s not the intended movement.

💁‍♀️🥎

Wait yes thank you for saying it, we are all thinking it😂

No shit it’s been close to cringe at times

He is the million dollar man, stronger.... faster lol, the dude is a machine

@fitssiks BEST COMMENT EVER

Noah should have demanded that.....er...special lane from last year.

@Kelsea Nova hahaha the only reason Noah was close last time was because mat dropped the sand bag and the point system made it harder for Fraser to regain the lead. Mat is in a totally different class then noah or anyone else.

I have not watched all the events yet, but i truly thought Noah would be on Matt's tail in all events

Wtf who said that bullshit. Noah does not have what it takes to be the champ.

Yes Kwant's torso was ahead (assuming the finish line was the front edge of the red mat)--would have won according to USATF rules and equipment, but I think CrossFit just used a chip timer on one ankle.

Looks like chips were on the left foot. Mat extends his left foot at the line. Kwant mistakenly extends his right.

@A Roger think about it, with the Kettlebell/Lunge workout, Tia made the decision to shorten the transition time by dropping the Kettlebells right in front of her, when the men went, 3/5s of the competitors did it. Additionally, there is nothing saying this information wasn't being exchange between training partners in between heats when the games were larger. You just see it now.

@A Roger if there is nothing explicitly stating they can't, then it's not though.

Nah... it’s like sharing inside information... looking from the outside means nothing. On the field doing the workout and then come back to tell the guy what needed to be done.. that’s cheating...

@trenk2007 sounds like solid advice, any of the coaches could have also observed and told their athletes.

She told him, do what brooke wells did on the sled push and run faster on the last 5 sec of the sprint.😳😳🤣🤣🤣

@James Kingi not 4/10ths difference. Not close.

Mat Fraser definitely crossed before him. He had a longer stride of a run.

Their time trackers are on their ankles, if you look at when they cross the lines it’s legit

Mickey mouse sport.

@Lukáš Herman There is no digital photo finish in such a competition. Do you think this is Olympics games? The photo finish is what you already see and from this they are equal.

​@JimL On their way back, they ran 100 yards or 92 ish meters in 15 ish seconds. That's about 22 km/h which is indeed significantly slower than the 36-45 km/h required for traversing 4-5 m in 4/10th of a second. At that speed, 4/10ths of a second are "only" 2.5 m which could be the difference between a leading and a trailing leg for a taller guy like Kwant at such a long stride.

@JimL I believe you are wrong. If you look closely, they both had chips on their left legs. If you slow it to 0,25x speed the difference between left legs crossing the finish line is almost 2 full seconds. The BS about this is that there even is a chip.. Doesn't make any sense.. It should have come to the digital photo finish decision..

@Hybrid Theory you nailed it, perfect answer

Also his sled never touched the yellow line that was a sec more as well

@Catarina Taquelim thanks! Didn’t know the bracelet

Matt's right leg crossed, their stride was different, in Matt's favor.

Same but the time bracelet is in their left leg and Fraser passed de left leg first and Samuel the right one

Mars doing his thing

Thanks 👍

Thank you!

@PowerfulVeganHands if you are programming event by event, sure. If it was the ONLY event, sure. If you program for an entire weekend with a test for the most well rounded athlete, sprints 100% have a place among the barbells, rucks, 10k trail runs, swims, and the other various movements

@Steven Gardner this isn’t the only event that’s been a waste of these athletes time

it's literally 1 of 11 events that they have done in 3 days lol
