I'm a swimmer but hit the gym weekly and I gotta say I have all the respect for every competitor in this event.. I mean 10 rounds of 50m swim + 3x muscle ups is a pretty tough workout. This event is definitely not preferred for those who don't swim regularly and just completing it is an achievement. Good job to all who pushed thru and congrats to Troyan.
Yeah my time on a paced 500 free like this is like 5:30, I don't know how long it would take me with the muscle ups but I think this would be slight work for someone who swims a lot
Haha spot on... there is always a guy on youtube thinking he s gonna make the whole thing right by saying “im a runner” or “im a swimmer” and “that was great”. Then you look at their profile and well... you know what i mean.
You have an odd sense of humor if you think swimming has comedic value. Swimming is nothing more than avoiding drowning, and they did that fine. I find comedic value in someone calling swimming "the funniest shit"
Let me get this straight.... someone correct me if I’m wrong. But the guy who won who did it in 10:15... did 500m swim and 30 muscle ups in that amount of time?.... that’s insane.
He was taking his time in the water too. He could've probably done this faster. Generally speaking, competitive swimmers do 50m under 25 seconds so that would be little over 4 min for 500m. He was going about 30-40 seconds per lap.
They are tested. They can be tested any time of year and after completion. If they test positive there is a clause that they have to pay back any money won
Big crossfit guy here... this event is is hell and major props to everyone who did this (it would wreck me), but I will say the chicken wing muscle-ups should’ve been no-reps.
If you say anything about their swim stroke people will hate on you but fr with so much money on the line you would really think some of them would strighten up their form
Crazy cool, badass sport! They could need some custom-fitted goggles to feel even more comfortable in the water and have full focus on the race and win l! :) (Christina, THEMAGI5)
I love the reckless abandon of how Jordan dives in the water. Everyone else lines up all nice first, and he just spins like, "Screw it, I'll sort it out in the air". Like a dolphin eager to get back underwater.
+AceandScotch2 So they're meant to be all-around athletes, they practice form in all the other exercises, but then obviously totally neglect swimming? Sorry, but I think he understood the point of CrossFit just fine.
+Michael DiLullo Reposting from above... For those saying that 'elite' athletes should be better at swimming, possibly, but for 1 out of 12 events, when it's not their sport, they handled it pretty well. Of course most of these guys aren't good swimmers; they have to be able to perform a whole bunch of different events over the next four days. Sure, someone with a swimming background would probably win this event (assuming they could do the muscle-ups), but would they be able to do the rest of this stuff packed into a few days, to the intensity these guys do? Not likely. This tends to happen on every CrossFit Games video involving a highly specialized sport/skill...invariably, someone who specializes in the particular sport/skill being tested in that one event comments on how pathetic the performances are in (Skill X) for supposedly elite athletes. The amount of different skills these guys have to take on is astounding - of course they're not going to master them all. Fine, a competitive swimmer could probably own this event...and then would probably be eliminated from the games a couple days later on the clean-and-jerk ladder (relevant: event 8 of the 2013 games was a clean-and-jerk ladder with the lightest allowable starting weight of 225 pounds, and if you could not complete the first weight, you were out of the games). Of course, if it's so easy, you're free to enter the games. $250K prize. You should clean up, right?

Watch the likes of dressel. American record holder goes almost 15m underwater on both the start and turn. Underwater swimming is way faster than surface swimming (if done well).
@@denilsson31 i said “lmao” because you’re saying how they swim is funny.. And if you’re saying they swim in a funny way, can u even swim competitively??? 😂
@@elmos4urusR3X , Why ? Tout are one of them ? 😆 I swim 4 km x 2 per week. I swim all : crawl, butterfly ... And I swim above 5 km/h. Ok ? What a swimmer can say is that they lake dramatically technics. Lost of them swim like dog.
denilsson31 im also a swimmer and obviously cuz they are non-swimmers.. but still u cant say that they swim in a funny way cuz they're just doing what they have to.. lol
ruclips.net/video/zbh0qhGmJ9U/видео.html John Romano explains this pretty nicely. I agree some of them may be clean, or may be clean when they complete. But only some. Also CrossFit drug testing protocol is so lax.
icampbellsoup and do how many muscle ups exactly, or how many snatches, or handstand push-ups?. After doing CrossFit for over 3 years, I can tell you that swimming is not a huge part of it. Only at really big comps you would normally have swimming.
I love how the one guy talks about underwater training and how it's really only metal for him and I'm just sitting here like: well maybe if you actually trained for the swimming instead of breath holding you wouldn't be as ass as you are at swimming!
I think it's hilarious how everyone commenting on their swimming. Of course they're gonna swim like shit, they're not professional swimmers. Go do a full workout of weights, calisthenics, and then swim. I guarantee 99.9% of you couldn't even lift your gawdamn arms to stroke.
Ezrael Comicho I kinda want you to do what swimmers do everyday for hours, I'm willing to bet that by cool down we feel the same way these guys do after they work out. For most we can still at least keep good form even if the strength has leached out.
Lol I love this comment because we run 1.5 miles then we lift for an hour and then we swim for 2 hours 4 days a week. So I know exactly how this feels especially when we max out

This video is why I ultimately joined crossfit. Amazing athletes!
you can do most of their workouts without paying 150 a month to a cult
Watching them swim is the funniest shit I have ever seen
+John Lee Is that bad form?? Or do you mean them being so slow in funny? I don't do swimming so I can't really see them being bad at swimming.
+John Lee absolutely, troyan was going to win for sure, but everyone elses form was like mine when I first learnt to swim
John Lee I swim competitively and it is just sad watching them
I'm sure that if you were competing with those guys in this event it would be even more sad to see you.
You have an odd sense of humor if you think swimming has comedic value. Swimming is nothing more than avoiding drowning, and they did that fine. I find comedic value in someone calling swimming "the funniest shit"
at least the cool water keeps them from overheating
Lols just comparing Troyan's goggles to everyone else's you can just see who's the swimmer and who are the crossfit guys.
Colonel Cuck Of The Cuckold Army, Gary is is just saying that Troyan is using goggles that actual swimmers use
29:57 High five rejection x2
Freaks of nature! I used to hate on crossfit but this stuff is no joke! Awesome!
I loke to watch it, I hate to do it
@ambob hates gonna hate 💪
10:45 Actual start
I want to see David Goggins competing in Crossfit games
I was litterally just thinking that wtf
Yo I really want to see goggins competing tho, he’s a beast
A little past his prime against these young bucs
That's awesome, I swam with him at West Chester, was only there for a year but yeah that dudes a beast!
Let me get this straight.... someone correct me if I’m wrong. But the guy who won who did it in 10:15... did 500m swim and 30 muscle ups in that amount of time?.... that’s insane.

@@roadtrip6075he can’t do 25s right after doing muscle ups ☠️ that’s the point
They are tested. They can be tested any time of year and after completion. If they test positive there is a clause that they have to pay back any money won
It's unbelievable with that choppy kick that Ben Smith kept that close to an All-American swimmer. He's an incredible athlete.
Doing that in 10 mins is insanely impressive
The “swimmer people” aka “swimmers”...🤔
Sidestroke is nice, I started doing it because Link swims like that in Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask :P
Just read this comment, this is genious! Well done.

As a competitive swimmer I can say not every one can swim good and it's not sad to watch them swim it's entertaning
I like the strength
Amazing
I'd compete in this event, but every time I jump in a pool I just float there.

Rich Froning really struggled here. Then he comes back the next year and places top 10 in the ocean swim 🤙🏻
I actually know Jordan Troyan he’s the head coach at CrossFit rage the place where I do CrossFit at
I love the reckless abandon of how Jordan dives in the water. Everyone else lines up all nice first, and he just spins like, "Screw it, I'll sort it out in the air". Like a dolphin eager to get back underwater.
motivation
Didn’t know you would be here, you helped me a lot with ‘life’ lol
Is the pool 25 meters??? Cuz Jordan Troyan kinda swims fast and how he dives very far, its quite impressive for a non-competitive swimmer..
And that former seal doing CSS lol
Nice!
Being a 5 year state ranked swimmer its so funny watching how much time is lost in the water.

This is a physically brutal event 😅
15:15 check out the dude swimming on the right ! He's FUCKED !!! lol
Rich Froning be like this is not my arena lol
When you're a swimmer and you see those guys swimming, you just can't stop laughing x'D
Just by learning how to swim they could win ... it's sad
+JustSomeone Are they that bad? I don't know the right swimming form haha.
ya they are x') , just by being flat they would be much more efficient

Minion blimp?
12:03
"Dolphin kick when u hop in the water" i know your supposed to but on freestyle my coach always said get right into it
Thats for sprints, for long distance ie 400m and up, most people would alway do dolphin kicks first
Watch the likes of dressel. American record holder goes almost 15m underwater on both the start and turn. Underwater swimming is way faster than surface swimming (if done well).
anyone else see the minion blimp around 12 minutes
Nobody could've got Rich and some others a decent pair of goggles? You're not snorkeling guys!
Could’ve easily broken 10
weird how they look more ripped than the more recent competitors in the previous years. more like body builders
Getting smaller by the day for several years in a row takes a toll
It's funny like they swim ...
Lmao can u even swim competitively??

This is insane. I would last 2 rounds.
I won't even be able to do one muscle up.
Why do they keep showing the same person?? Show the people in the other side of the corner
It’s true that swimmers would destroy these guys at the swim
But how many swimmers would be able to do even one muscle up?
What's an "all American swimmer"??
I wonder why they just say Josh Bridges is in the Navy here instead of a SEAL. Maybe they weren't allowed to disclose that since he was still in?
Pretty sure they said he was a Seal at some point.
Is that a 50 metre ,?
No it's got to be a 25

CrossFit comes across a little bit like an epileptic fit simulator.
I'd like to see much more focus on form.
Also it's interesting to see the physique changes, almost surprised it took so long for steroids to make it to CrossFit.
they are drug tested just like any other sport my guy
@@eddiesteers sure and just like every other sport, nearly all of them are on juice.
McTreestump you can obtain physics like this bro. It just takes harder work in the gym and it helps to have enough money to eat like 7 meals a day

Anyone else feel bad for the cameramen who have to film all the underwater scenes?
or they have just stick the camera underwater....the camera man doesn't actually have to enter the pool
i couldve dominated that if i could do muscle ups LOOL
I also could have dominated if I were better at swimming and muscle ups than all the competitors.
Muscle up? Naaah i'll just kick my legs, dislocate my shoulder and then struggle to do the half rep of a straight bar deep.😐

There is a difference between a swimmer and crossfitter. a swimmer swims. crossfitter doesnt. plus they have to do muscle ups when they come back.
