Agreed! I thought that separating ways with dave castro was a terrible mistake. And now, CF and Boz in particular made me see what was wrong and how it went tremendously better. Congrats. It was my favourite games from how the leaderboard was shaken up on day one to the back to basics or very original and exciting challenges line the coliseum or the max rep with heavy bag. Beautiful
I did enjoy it. Spiced things up for sure. Was nice to see the swim event not be a distance event! Gave some others a good chance too. Of course a couple events I was bummed with the outcome but that just pushes people to work harder.
I love this behind the scenes look, honestly before this I wasn't the biggest fan of these 2 events with the skills challenges because of the confusion, but now that you see it being clearly explained and briefed in detail it makes so much more sense. Maybe they should make a smaller demo/briefing also in advance so they can show it better to the viewing audience on the livestreams
Thanks for watching, Andrew! We'll share your kind words with Boz. We are proud of what he's been able to accomplish this season and we're only getting started!
The new head judge just has such a calming voice lol. And the transparency on how the penalty was assessed makes sense, I know there was a lot of outrage in comments (surprise surprise...angsty social media).
The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games had the largest prize purse in its history, with title sponsor NOBULL presenting $2.845 million in total payouts for athletes across all divisions. Find more here: cf.games/3yksWtw
Games as a whole was great this year. Always room for improvement. In a general explanation, so many of this years events tested athletes on execution but the events themselves were not executed well from a logistics set up and judging standpoint. It was the first year for Boz at helm I think he will only improve from here.
Seeing the montage of years past just makes me realize how much better the Reebok CF merch was. The NoBull stuff is so boring, just black, white and dark green. I miss the neon colorways.
Is it true that Dani Speegle knew about the jump rope crossover? I’m wondering how many workouts or movements she knew in advance- specifically the sandbag. I heard on another podcast, Training Think Tank I think, that some athletes were leaked games info ahead of time. She was one of them. Not that it helped her much but I thought that was unfair to the other athletes.
@@caseystark6277 How about Dallin Pepper showing up with the rope meant for single unders and crossovers when his training partner is demo team member James Sprague. Sprague had loose lips talking publicly about the capitol event before it was announced so not a stretch to think he was passing other info on to Pepper.
takes time to edit, get interviews, re-edit, put it together again....video production takes a while. also, releasing it later helps people to re-live the event and gets them interested again. it's good marketing
There shouldn't be given so much airtime to a cheater. Ok, Gerard came back. Ok. But there are many more athletes who really deserve the attention of such documentaries.
No fair. Did not complete event should’ve been = DNF. It doesn’t make sense for athletes that are below Lazar & Panchik that competed the event. It is what it is… Bad decision from CFHQ
Standards - left a lot to be desired. Inconsistent judging in every workout. For example, on the strict pegboards, several high profile athletes had their feet flexed so that their toes were assisting them up and down the pegboard (or used their knees), and the other athletes, those athletes holding themselves to the highest standard, pointed their toes down so they received no assistance. These problems are patently obvious when you see these workouts in person. I love CrossFit but until the judging issue is rectified and standards are held to a red line, the sport will never have the credibility it should.
Lol Boz Sometimes the programmer of workouts is biased, they usually based on their personal weaknesses/ strengths and like what do to . Hopefully soon it’s well rounded workouts for next year. Just saying
Well, I guess you'll just have to seethe then won't you. Like, seriously.. I say this with all the respect in the world, just get over it man. It's not worth your energy complaining on the internet about this.
Sensational programming this year. Best ever by a long shot. Attention to detail and safety like we've never seen.
Thanks so much, Paul! We appreciate your feedback.

@@quentingallea166...Yes...and to be clear...I did not mean it as a knock on Dave. More like a compliment to Boz etal for taking it to another level.
To be at the top of those steps is a moment I will remember forever. Goosebump central!
The programming this year was the best ever.
I agree, it was very good
I did enjoy it. Spiced things up for sure. Was nice to see the swim event not be a distance event! Gave some others a good chance too.

Here before Hiller 🎉
Great to see Ricky back!!!!

Truly so much fun to watch this year Boz!
Prefer Castro, he’s the OG.
So glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for watching this week's episode. See you next week?
Love the coverage CF!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. ❤️ If you liked this episode, we think you'll like this video too: cf.games/3fsMEwF
Boz killed it, my favourite programming there's been to date. Loved the originality, more next year please.... surprise us.... again :)
I don’t give a frogs fat arss about Boz. He’s weird. Prefer zero gymnastics as those events have NOTHING to do with being the Fittest on Earth.
Thanks for watching, J. We're so glad you enjoyed the programming! Stay tuned for next season. The Open is right around the corner!
Boz doing a handstand walk in the POD🙌
This series was way better than the new documentary. Blame goes to not the 3 week director but the top dogs of CF....
Rickyyyy 🤩 Great comeback!
Such great video and interviews!
Did any athletes at the 2022 games test positive for PEDs at the event?
I think I’ve seen 1 masters athlete so far. Can’t remember the name but hiller made a video recently on it.
@@lindseymcknight4879 Thanks! I'll look for that video
This was epic. My fav games so far. Go Bos 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Keran. See you next week for Episode 10?
Can’t believe CrossFit games being going 15 years 💪🏽💪🏻💪🏻 I appreciate it more and more every year the Athletes now is 🦍🦍🦍❤💪🏽💯
They need to pay them more! Each participant should pay $200 to enter and increase the winnings for the top three!

And it was more affordable.
So agree. The Reebok stuff was colourful and fun and I could actually afford it. Nobull is so expensive and the jerseys were outrageous
And you didnt need to sell a kidney to buy it 🤷♀️
Better than the decathalon ... this truly needs to be an olympic sport!

She was training with the Smith Bros at Krypton prior to the Games and Alec tested some of the Games workouts for Boz...

Interesting to see the double cross unders in the rehearsal & how they’re actually meant to be performed. It was horrendous to watch on the event but
I love these Miles to Madison videos, but I'm continually baffled by their staggered release. The Games was like 2 months ago?!
takes time to edit, get interviews, re-edit, put it together again....video production takes a while. also, releasing it later helps people to re-live the event and gets them interested again. it's good marketing
Woulda been nice for all the athletes to do each 3 rounds of the skills. Added up cumulative times for the score.
great one guys{

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi, from Dominican República
Ricky came in Public Enemy #1, and blew almost all the competition out, even won 2 events, something the "winner" couldnt
all about consistency
I love it so much
We love to hear it. Thanks for watching.
Cornelius would be proud.
There shouldn't be given so much airtime to a cheater. Ok, Gerard came back. Ok. But there are many more athletes who really deserve the attention of such documentaries.
Salu mi familia Ricky Garad.
2:10 yaaaaa
No fair. Did not complete event should’ve been = DNF.
It doesn’t make sense for athletes that are below Lazar & Panchik that competed the event.
It is what it is… Bad decision from CFHQ
Embarrassing that not completing all laps gets you placed higher than people who did all the laps. Next year skip a lap and save the energy.
A lot of confusion especially on the first events this year was a disaster lol
Not saying CrossFit is broke…. But I just got an advert every 30 seconds 😅
Ahhhh the white line HSPU…how boring life would be without some good controversy
Garard must have finally got his cycles situated so he can pass the drug test
Kind of obvious!! No clue how anyone believes that guy is clean 😂

Those rope jumps though are on par with the ring hspu years ago. Do not ever bring them back
Lol Boz
Sometimes the programmer of workouts is biased, they usually based on their personal weaknesses/ strengths and like what do to . Hopefully soon it’s well rounded workouts for next year. Just saying
🦇🦇🦇🦇
Wait till he wins it all and passes every drug test they give him! Garard is comin y’all!
X
For the love of god. Please never program something as silly as that dam jump rope wod or anything similar again.
For me, it is weird every video you guys promote a cheater back. You guys are walking backwards.
He did his time and still managed to podium that’s big news! Get over it
I beg you lot to get over it. The miles to Madison series is clearly following certain athletes
@@melro5411 4 years is not time enough. If you were athlete you would know better…clearly you don’t.
@@dbmooo what’s enough time?
Well, I guess you'll just have to seethe then won't you. Like, seriously.. I say this with all the respect in the world, just get over it man. It's not worth your energy complaining on the internet about this.
Do you Ricky and the jump rope is bullshit!
worst music ever
Programming was decent but not better than Castro’s. Not even close.
