If CrossFit punishes you for skipping a lap by adding your slowest lap time for each lap missed, you could just go all out for 1 lap and win with ease

Combining Olympic lifting with ego lifting, while mixing in intense cardio is an absolutely beautiful thing to watch

It’s like watching school sports day except all the kids are on gear.

After years of laughing at these videos I finally went to a CrossFit gym to try it out. I was blown away. Fun movements, camaraderie, merch. Then I came to my senses and went back to safe, proven exercise. Nice people though.

You’re the only reason, I know the games are still a thing. Haha

[sirius]

I love the fact that this guy has a personal vendetta against crossfit

Those helmets makes me think of Cartman joining the Paralympics 🤣

[anaussie]

Double under crossovers were a skill too far for the CrossFitters to manage. It's such a niche move it should really only be done for fun or a skipping competition.

Can we petition they do these monthly so we can watch monthly fails

[ra]

I remember about 10 years ago they had really interesting skill/muscle based events that weren’t gimmicky. One was a simple ball throw. Another was a GHD sit-up with a med ball throw. Both great and simple examples of strength and athleticism

I've been watching your CrossFit Games series from every year, this is perfect timing!

[landdreugh]

I would get absolutely obliterated in the rest of the events, but as a Dutchman I feel I would smoke the competition so hard during the bicycle event that I'd still earn a spot on the podium.

[Deanosaurous]

In every other short-lap race (crits, cyclocross, Short track XC, etc), you ring a bell when competitors are on the final lap. It's common knowledge.

[petrri]

Taking a breather is now forever, “flushing the toxic lactic acid keeping my muscles constrained.”

Last time I was this early, kali was still making jail food

The "how not to do a single exercise" games 2022. Beautiful!

"If you're going to fall during a bike race at least be on the bike." sent me💀

This took place in my town and I drove by one of the sites on my way to the gym. They had exercise bikes set up outside for use in some kind of circuit event. You know something has gone terribly wrong when, on a bright sunny summer day, you have athletes on _stationary bikes outside_

[paulhopkins]

One of those "sporting" events where the highlights are much better than watching the actual event if you catch the EIF summary. Well done, Elgin.

"You look super fit. What's your sport?"
"Thanks! I have no idea."
