Can we see the athletes instead of the commentators?

[spinfan]

Can you tell us who is in the lead instead of talking about yourselves? Horrible commentary.

[madisonfox]

Agree with the others! I’d like to hear more about the athletes during the event and who’s where etc. These ladies deserve it! The commentary was very distracting and a bit disappointing.

[iammusic]

Why are they filming a podcast during a CrossFit competition?

[blackwhite]

Not even a list of the athletes and which position/lane number they have etc. is being shown in the beginning … wow.
And seriously, the athletes have to run up/down stairs? In Australia it was up/downhill, in Europe it was on flat ground all the way. That’s no fair conditions at all!

And I agree with the other posts here: show the athletes, not the commentators!

[christianjohnson]

Holy hell am I watching the athletes or the commentators talk?

[sophiayoung]

The fact that they didn’t even know the heat winning times because they were talking about other pointless stuff is the reason CrossFit isn’t seeing the numbers they used. Discuss the athletes, not how you like your steak cooked. 😒

[elizabethregister]

Wow…that was shockingly bad coverage of this event. 8:30 before they even start talking about the actual live event and not just fluffy nonsense. Almost two minutes in before you even see video of the field again. Ridiculous.

It's wild how much Crossfit is butchering this years coverage. If you want any shot at being taken seriously as a sport you need to cover the biggest events of the year properly. It's literaly just 2: Semis and the actual Games. The damn opening day in Europe had no (proper) coverage, with all due respect to the crossfit podcast that did their best with the limited resources they were given. But when it actually got going it was definitely good the rest of the weekend. This one was atrocious, not even gonna go into it. Somehow Oceania is having the best coverage despite extremely few of the top athletes even contending there.

You need to learn from how extremely spectator unfriendly sports and games like Cycling and Chess invested massively in their coverage and absolutely blew up. There is no reason why chess should have a full studio and expert commentators doing play by plays, but fuck me does it make it a lot more enjoyable to watch. And cycling where physical audiences literally see the competitors for a few seconds of an hours long race managed to make TdF one of the most watched events in the summer. Invest, do it right and grow.

Coming from one who actually enjoys the sport and wants to watch it: this is unwatchable. And if even your existing base thinks that, how in the hells are you gonna bring in new audiences and grow the sport. A few good commentators and camera operators is a neccessary investment to make competitive crossfit less of a joke and more a of a serious and enjoyable sport to watch.

I wanted to watch this but had a hard time with the commentary, I'd rather hear about the athletes and see them vs the commentators stories and faces.

[ronwiles]

Why are these 3 commentators? Add Crenshaw tirelessly talking as if he's all knowing and I'm out

[LloydDafoe]

Read four comments, got less than two minutes into the video and turn it off. Everybody’s correct. I guess the commentators are the athletes now.

[PierceWard]

Show the athletes. Stop talking about yourself. This isn’t a podcast.

[jeremyeatworld]

All these negative comments and Castro is worried about Hiller? 🤣

[calicia]

What for a disrespecfull comments... these ladies are giving all they have, I dont care about what the commentors think about food... pls shut your mouth and tell something valuable

[kerralexander]

Yeesh. The coverage and commentary feels like a such a downgrade after really enjoying the European semi coverage last week.

[rsanchezdpt]

too much to ask to have video graphic of each athletes name and position as they show them on camera?

[amba-energy]

Dave & CF HQ!!! This coverage hopefully improves by the games!! It was terrible.

We dont need to hear this commentary all the time, talking about strategy. Tell us where the athletes are.

Visually - we dont need to see the leader do the whole workout. Fans want to see all the athletes and know where they are. Get the cameras down on the floor! Cover it better with the cameras please!!

Take note from how they covered the Torian pro. It was top notch compared to this.

[zopi]

How about a roster of the competitors? Or did I miss it?

[BoldColor]

Why are the announcers just talking about themselves? Do they not know the athletes' names?
