Jocko’s advice was very wise and came from experience. And I like workouts like this where it’s about finding a functional sustainable rhythm bc it’s translatable to the real world like when you’re backpacking or rucking
I have done Chad three times and if my affiliate would set it up like this, I would do it three more times! So clever, I love it. Hero wods are the heart of CrossFit.
I don’t generally say this about any event but whilst it was a clever event - it was incredibly boring with no way to monitor who had done what. Bit of a snooze fest this one 😢
People complaining about them continuing the games after Lazar’s death probably don’t realize that dozens of athletes have passed away during Olympics and Paralympics, sometimes due to negligence, and they have never paused the games. Even after the Munich massacre, they continued the games. These athletes dedicate their lives to the sport and their livelihood depends on it sometimes. The CrossFit games have given proper concessions to those athletes who need additional time to process and mourn, and the games are done in his honor. RIP Lazar.
Please provide specific examples of when this happened in the Olympics or Paralympics due to gross negligence. The olympics had a close call in Tokyo, but at least the athlete's coach was not stopped from diving in and grabbing her swimmer (synchro swimming). The Munich massacre was an intentional act of murder carried out by people not associated with the games; these situations are not even remotely comparable. It would be different maybe if CF had proper safety protocols in place, if they had gone into the water immediately to try to get him, and basically if they had done all they could to save him. That didn't happen here, so continuing on in light of their own gross negligence is just that, gross. And no, I don't blame the athletes who chose to continue, they were put in an impossible position to decide.
@@sarahphillips8987 most deaths at the Olympics could be attributed to some sort of negligence… the collapse of a temporary bridge the last time they were in Paris killed 4, a skier crashed into a snow groomer that shouldn’t have been on the slopes at that time(has happened more than once), a coach ki**ing himself due to lack of mental health resources at the games in 2020, a boxer dying of blood poisoning after an unsafe boxing match, several deaths from improper Luge control and athlete error, and even west Germany admitted to having decreased security to down play the “military” image following WW2, which led to the the Munich massacre… a gross oversight since Israel had also expressed safety concerns. Not to mention all the safety negligence with the other terrorist attacks that have happened at the games. Was the drowning handled as well as it could have been in the moment? Probably not. Could it have still happened with double the amount of safety regulations? Yes. We still don’t even know how he passed away. He was obviously a proficient swimmer and well within his skill range, so there were clearly other issues that contributed. Should we take these opportunities away from every athlete that has been working all year, and possibly their lives out of pure symbolism. I don’t think so, but to each their own. The athletes who more needed time are not being punished for it.
@sarahphillips8987 you're right. Any time anyone dies doing anything, no one should ever do that thing ever again. Sigh. Sports are risky. Playing football is risky. Triathlons are risky. Bungee jumping is risky. If you'd rather watch people sit in a corner, then that's on you. Most of the world wants to live a life surrounded by others living their lives. Go hide under a blanket, literally no one cares.
@sarahphillips8987 at the Vancouver Olympics an athlete died as I was there. There is one specific example for you without having to search for other deaths and guess what the show went on as that's how the real world works. Life goes on after tragedy.
This should have had the monitors they used on the ski ergs to show the audience what cal/step they’re on. As for “Chad with a twist” they really thought hard about that
If God exists and he is good than every reward comes from him. You can’t believe and not thank God for the blessings on your life. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17 ESV
@kellihumphries6493 with less weight at a slower pace. The competition aspect of the games is entertaining but what is also entertaining is the numbers these athletes do on their workouts. There are many men who aren't pro cross fitters that can do what the woman are doing.
@@cjhxc4946I watch the men's last heat and will fast forward through longer ones I just don't care, the women's I'll watch every heat all of it. There's plenty of people who are only or Korean interested in the women's comp not everyone thinks with a misogynistic brain like yours.
@@cjhxc4946 You know what was entertaining...watching a 31-year-old 5'4" woman who just had a baby beating the entire men's field (except two 6'2"+ guys) at running & swimming the exact same distance...you know what would be even more entertaining and enjoyable, watching her kick your sorry azz even worse. 🤣
Crossfit HQ, you have finally done it: YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. You just lost a year-long avid fan of the sport. I stayed off of social media for a full week to avoid spoilers for the Games results. Then, super excited and hyped I finally sat down to watch my beloved Crossfit Games. Went through all the footage over the course of 2 days. Only to find out that the stream just abruptly stops in the middle of Sunday. With no explanation. You are simply keeping the final events and the results from us. Just like that. No apologies. Still no upload a week later. This is so disrespectful and a big fat slap in the face of so many fans around the world!!!! How can you do that? I will never watch another Crossfit Games after this. And I am sure I am not the only one. You will have a lot of amends to make.
Are we really not going to have a counter for the chad? Are you serious? No one will watch it. I love watching the games and I am not going to watch this event without a counter.
Loss of life is a tragic event in any sport. The best way to honor someone's legacy is to continue the sport. None of the sports or games are quit. Life goes on. RIP Lazar Dukic
I'm sorry but the tragedy takes a backseat when there is negligence involved. CF HQ should be investigated and condemned. However, the athletes deserve to continue as it is a year-round effort.
@@riosjasso investigated and condemned? why? because you think they intended for this to happen? like, this is what they wanted? you really think that? really? *REALLY?*
interesting technic, just before start camera showed everyone do up & tightening the waist belt, but in the 8th to 9th minute with the camera on Tia, I see she is wearing the waist belt very loose.
It really feels like this could be the end. YEARS now of turmoil and drama and now this. The accident followed by the ridiculous performative and virtue signaling “public grief”. It’s like, after years of the Games being chaotic, what’s happened this year finally reminds you just how absurd the very notion of this competition is. A competition that has NOTHING to do with the actual training modality and probably turns off more people than it attracts.
I love to praise God and do. But do not find it necessary to stand on a soap box and shove my belief down people's throats every chance I get. True belief is through practice, not by how loud you yell.
@@liz9147 If I an idiot oh well. I have faith that I will spend eternity with Jesus. If that is wrong oh well. I have lived such a blessed life through my walk with God I have no regrets or envy for another lifestyle. God has carried me through many trials and hardships but has brought me to a beautiful place in my marriage, my kids, my community, my relationship with him and the list goes on. Your choice is your choice! All respect. No one answers to me or to James Sprague but to God alone I believe. Can we not be hateful towards someone who chooses a life after God but clearly demonstrates such kindness and encouragement for his family and community?
There's a vid showing Chad standards were leaked to some of the athletes two weeks ago. The video says Crossfit found about the leak but didn't release the standard to everybody. Does anyone have more info on this? Concerning.
Lol that would be the most minor advantage ever. Like what would you possibly change by knowing ahead of time that it's up-up-down-down rather than the up-down you'd assume?
@@bajjanitor A minor advantage is still an advantage, no? Especially at this elite level, micro differences in performance that shift just a few ranking points can cost a LOT of money in a close race. Mechanically this movement has some significant differences from the standard jump up+rock down. Practicing pacing, cadence, technique, and having a few days to jump start specific muscle group fitness can have a meaningful impact.
How about letting them speak about their beliefs? It's not like they're shoving it down your throats and forcing you to believe in what they believe. If you don't want to watch it, you are free to walk away. No need to bash anyone.
Not bashing anyone, I would just rather hear about their performance etc rather than a bible verse. If I wanted God I’d go to Church, I watch this to hear about CrossFit
I get it it's a Hero workout but you chose the most boring one to watch ever lol. MURPH would have been a much more entertaining event. This years events have not been very exciting in comparison to past years.
Anyone else notice how Hatfield was the only athlete hopping down the boxes? Especially on the side opposite the judges. I thought both feet had to be touching at the same time as the others were doing.
Wow, I haven't even checked in on CrossFit since the plandemic, so 2019. I think O'm through with this whole mess. It's grown WAY to big and commercial, completely spoiled. Too many contestants and every single one looks tooled, sexually perverted, and juiced to HELL. Nothing in the US can ever remain realistic for any length of time. In any case, bye now.
Is anyone over alllllllllllll the commentary? All I hear is Adrian Conway talking and talking and talking 🥴😑🤫 let’s us just watch. Is it necessary? Said with kindness and just wondering if anyone thinks the same 🤔
I like listening to the commentary altho sometimes you have to laugh at the “strategies” they discuss for different simple tasks that happen on the field.
God loves you all very much and He proved it by sending His Son Jesus to die and rise for us! The Bible says we're all sinners, including myself, and we've broken His Laws which means that He will punish us in hell, as the Bible teaches. God is a good Judge, who also desires to show mercy. If we repent of our sins and surrender our lives to the risen Jesus we will be forever forgiven and forever saved from His wrath!
It's a shame what the athletes did. They say they are a great community. False, they only care about money. At the very least, they should have all stopped for a minute during the second event. I have respect for those who stopped and, of course, for those who withdrew. Regarding the CrossFit Games, it was negligence that should be punished. They should have canceled the second event as a sign of respect. For me, the CrossFit Games are over forever. I will never watch them again. Deceit and selfishness are all that exists in them
just tuned in to see what all the Crossfit fuss is about. Watching women wearing a rucksack stepping up onto a box and down again. Fascinating. You lot need to get a life 🤣
Not everything has to be about pure entertainment. Just because one event isn’t thrilling for some people to watch, doesn’t mean it’s not complex and nuanced to execute. This workout is in remembrance of a life lost! If it didn’t entertain you enough 🤷🏼♀️. CrossFit is more than just a fun sport to watch!!! CrossFit is about doing hard things, keeping commitments to yourself, fighting for your mental and physical health, pushing past limits you thought existed, coming together and pushing, supporting, and challenging each other, and proving to yourself that you can do hard things.
You serious?! They are doing Chad?? What a boring event 1. To do. 2. I would hate to be a judge. 3. For spectators to watch. I miss the old school CrossFit not this crap.
I think we all know Laura got the real asterisk last year with Tia being out. No one else has a chance this year. I don't think Jeff was a lock to win this year either
Same. I'm not religious in the slightest but always respect people for unabashedly speaking their mind even though they know they'll receive so much hate for doing so.
