Analyzing the Programming of the 2024 CrossFit Games 

The dickies triplet was fun because it was a short run with staggered distance start. It wasn’t if people paced it right. It was that certain lanes started with a meters advantage that went away with each round (like they had designed). Similar to Helena

Good job you guys... This was a much more entertaining episode then other people doing a games review. Me wanting to listen the entire way

such an awesome breakdown - no one does it better than you two. thank you!! 🙌🏻

Chase - what application do you use for your presentations?! You could see if there is a “View Version History” to try to save your old presentations. In the future, you should “Make a Copy” aka Duplicate the Presentation so all the content automatically goes to the new presentation and then you can rename it!

I love a knock out event but given the cleans were one of the only heavy events, do you think those athletes that made it through were more “beat up” and at a disadvantage on Sunday? How do you balance knock outs in this case?

Chase looked surprisingly good after last weekend, you guys crushed it. Love the show of support with the shirt also....great dudes

Been waiting for this thanks!

Any ideas on why the programming went wrong this year? Dave has done this enough times to know what he’s doing. From the outside it seems like the inclusion of Chad and the lack of outdoor events were major limitations

Completely agree! Love seeing this built out. Bill saying “I don’t think we found the fittest” and “worst programmed games” YESSS thanks for saying that 🎉

This was a great episode, but I feel like it missed the elephant in the room. Can we discuss and evaluate programming responsibly without taking into account athlete safety?

Those visuals should be available as pdfs. Hint, hint!

Chase stepping it up with the visuals! Kinda bummed by this years events. Event two would have been a laughing stock. Overall winner didnt touch a "heavy" weight, and it didnt matter. 4 modalities of running. Loved watching farington field and the final events for the show but the totality of the event left something to be desired. If event 3 was 9-7-5 amanda with 225-245 or 45 reloaded with 185-205, and event 8 was reworked to remove the run and include a heavier implement, i think this would be a better test. Maybe heavy double unders and 70# double kb c&j. Anywho thanks for the recap!

Great episode, I was waiting for the thumbs ups scores and graphs😁 About the hammer swing: is it possible to think of it as a skill movement mostly for accuracy and coordination, not strength? Especially with that alternating hand... Something like a heavy jump rope: we won't even think of measuring how high you jump or how fast you turn the rope. But the person who won't trip (break) gets through the fastest. It is really just not suited for competition at all?
