Central Regional Recap

Sean Woodland, Tommy Marquez and Rory McKernan look at last week’s top contenders out of the Central Regional, including the record-smashing Fittest Man on Earth, Mat Fraser.

They also highlight Brooke Wells’ outstanding performance, discuss the Panchik brothers’ Day-3 comeback, and perform a side-by-side comparison of CrossFit Mayhem Freedom and the top team out of the South, Team Don’t Stop.

Crossfit Mayhem Independence have 3 team members that have been to The Games before, not 2 members. Elly & Darren on Mayhem, then Kristin Miller on OC3.

So the lack of core stability and excessive curve in Brooks spine still hasn't gone then. Snaps me. @5:41

Every athlete will be attempting to place second and up.

Barring any injuries, Matt will win his 3rd Crossfit title. He’s on a different level and no one is even close.

Matt must be going through an Aomine Daiki style existential crisis knowing he is so much better than everyone he can never be challenged.

I think Vellner will keep it closer this year.

And I even asked you if you thought the Panchick brothers were able to punch their tickets to Madison😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Mayhem Freedom and Independence. Do you think Rich Froning is possibly or secretly a fan of the movie Armageddon?!? (The two Space Shuttles) Just sayin'!

[freduleror]

Thought it was a cowboy show. Cause of the shirts

[eliseovillafan]

I think Rich is scared of Matt. He should come back once Matt wins his 3rd Games and try to prevent him from winning his 4th. If Rich does that and prevents Matt from winning a 4th Games then Rich does deserve to be the best of all time

Pretty sure Brooke erased any controversy from her open video w/a 1st place finish. She looked like a new athlete out there, so it will be interesting to see how she performs in the Games.

[jamesp.keeler]

Are you drug testing all the top athletes?

No HsPU standart so Brooke Cheater win..sport disrespect for CF HQ and her..all about the money👎

Thank god I won't be competing against Fraser when I start competing in a few years
