I couldn’t agree more on the masters being shown. As a paramedic I run calls on people in the 40-70 age group with massive health problems that being more active would help tremendously. Getting that in front of those people and showing hey you can still do this even as older people.
Loved it!! All the Mayhem Athletes not only inspire us on the competition floor but also in life! They are all great examples for us to follow! Appreciate yall doing this podcast! Can't wait for the next one!
Just a comment with regards to your Jack Farlow assessment, after praising Luke Parker for his overall outstanding performance and finish. As a panel discredited Farlow for his “one off event win”, when he in fact finished ahead of Luke Parker and had multiple great performances and displayed incredible fitness. I’m just a biased Canadian but I have to stand up for ours :)
Great recap, completely agree a very well rounded test. I think on of the best comments was Jack Farlow responding to a question if he thought his total would stand up “Those guys are way to fit to lift that heavy”. So he acknowledged his fitness wasn’t as good as the others. Keep delivering these quality shows.
Thank you for saying: 1. Pistols don’t need to be in masters, especially over 50 (imo too). 2. Masters don’t bring in the views so they don’t get coverage. Most young people don’t want to watch the masters unless they’re watching a parent or family member. 3. That all masters don’t necessarily have disposable income. I wish we did, but the truth is, most of us retirees, have a certain amount to live on and if we live past the point that that income runs out, we could be in bad shape. SS alone won’t cut it. I would have liked to have seen the 60-64 and 65+ because I knew a couple of the women competing and you always compare yourself a bit to what they can do, and I’m also in that 60-64 group and almost at the 65+. Maybe they should have charged something like $2.99 a day for streaming age groups and adaptive or something like $7.99 for the 3 days. They actually did that at Masters Weightlifting Nationals and Masters Pan Ams this year and it generated some money and you got a front row view. My daughter and team mates that didn’t go, got to watch us from home, work or the gym. I really enjoyed watching the individuals and got ESPN+ to see all the heats. Pretty exciting. Got to go cancel my subscription now 😊.
Castro said he gave Roman the option to wear whatever flag he wanted to and Roman chose MAYHEM! And that was AWESOME!! ❤️💪🔥👊🙏🏻 Hurts my heart a little bit to know that Baylee thinks she embarrassed the Mayhem name. I’m glad Rich told her that’s ridiculous because she’s amazing and did incredible. ANYONE who makes the games is an absolute BEAST! I don’t care in you’re 40th place. You’re still in the 1% of top pro CrossFit athletes.
the fact is. ESPN did/does a horrible job presenting the games. no backgrounds or story line sets ups for the athletes. the documentary's are were I got to know the athletes and a better understanding of the events and skillsets throughout the week.
There is nothing worse than armchair quarterbacks! You guys were amazing….shut that noise out and be proud of all your accomplishments! No injuries, team unity, learning and having fun in the process.
Obviously mayhem individuals and teams are so amazingly fit. So for people to say what happened is crazy. Hopefully everyone who competed doesn't worry about the negativity, and realizes they are super fit and all provide so many people inspiration, to include myself.
CrossFit should not be a crying event. But I keep on crying at CF events. Heartbroken for Roman, but so glad he still got to the podium. Great entertainment all around. Mayhem athletes did great. Should all be proud. I think the athletes forget just how hard it is to do what they do. We appreciate how hard it is!! Thanks for the podcast and thoughts.
As always enjoyed the video. I think on Sevan's podcast with Jeff mentioned how he was disappointing in not having to race Roman in theblast 2 events. I guess hebthrives off the racing and he no longer had that.
You seeing it all wrong Rich. People have been conditioned to watching YOU and watch you with team DOMINATE. I even caught myself and wife saying "friggin weird not seeing mayhem on podium. Nothing personal. Just different. Kinda like watching football without my Tom Brady...it's tough/weird.
I was hoping to see Rich dominate age group competition. Crossfit would have had to follow masters then, or they would have beneftited for sure. Who wouldn't want to watch the GOAT continue to win? No pressure but he's a true inspiration and I feel like he is in great shape and would win.
Think they should do a time trial on a proper MTB track no gap jumps but some table tops that a rollable and some good climbs and down hill on full sus bikes maybe even allow athletes to bring there own bikes so more sponsorship for athletes.
CrossFit could have omitted the live stream for the individual 5k and bike which was a total waste of time - no one watched it - and could have allotted that time to the age groups
Guys - 2022 CrossFit Games Masters Day 1 on RUclips has 683,000 views. Not everyone can watch it live, but people obviously watch it. In terms of who has $$ to spend on sponsors' products - just look at the census because the three highest income brackets are for individuals between the ages of 35 - 65. Yes, the Masters competition will NEVER meet the viewership or attendance numbers that the individuals do but it doesn't need to in order to make money. People just need to see the Masters competition for what it is and structure it to make $$$ from that reality and STOP saying that because it isn't the Individuals then it just needs to go away. Geez this gets frustrating.
Roman wasn’t the only one who got hurt on event 10. Adler got hurt on event 10 and had his foot taped afterwards. He said it on Talking Elite Fitness. Roman chose the Mayhem Flag.
i think the masters and teens should get more credit, and crossfit should be so F... proud they have these divisions. Its an international event and for like people from europe would like to watcht more age groupp athletes compete.
lol did Rich himself not win the games while winning single modality events? off the top of my head i think he won the overhead squat in 2014 and i think he won a handstand walk event before that.
Do you think having famous people do the workouts with some of the CrossFit athletes would increase viewership? What celebrity would you love to see try a workout live with the athletes... Me The rock, Jason Momoa, and Chris Hemsworth.
I said pretty much this same thing somewhere else. Everyone’s mad about to the age group coverage blah blah blah, but outside of family, friends, and gyms no one really cares to watch that. Just like how teams used to be before Rich showed up… just sayin lol
Yes, there are a lot of idiots on the internet who just want to complain. But I think sometimes people like you who have a lot of visibility care more about these people. I mean, I've seen it several times on you tube, instagram people making nice comments, but the only comment answered is that negative comment. I'm sorry for my English, I'm from Brazil.😂

Jack was super impressive, sorry it came across in a different way!
No explanation needed from any camp or individual. Sooo many stories this year and people should be grateful they share their lives/bts.

Age group coverage was insulting. Not expecting the fanfare of the individuals but come to the middle ground of 2014-2018. That was good coverage.
Yes to Brian Friend as a regular guest!!!!!
Baylee should be on a team Mayhem Independence
^yessss
Yes. Mayhem, TeamRichey, Buttery Bros having access made the Games experience more fun
Sevan*
Sevan was the real media
Appreciate you guys! Great content! Keep up the hard work! Proud to be in the Mayhem family!
You guys should set up a producer cam for the quick moments he chimes in.
I feel like Tia has won plenty of single modality workouts
Castro said he gave Roman the option to wear whatever flag he wanted to and Roman chose MAYHEM! And that was AWESOME!! ❤️💪🔥👊🙏🏻 Hurts my heart a little bit to know that Baylee thinks she embarrassed the Mayhem name.

Right like anyone who is a fan of mayhem is proud of her!
Given that around 120.000 females have registered for the Open 40th would place you in the 0.03333% #actually
Emma Lawson got first in the Bike, which is single modality. Laura got first on the Olympic total.
Mayhem Media crushed it! The content was so great! Thank you everyone involved.
Josh and your media men are the real rockstars…. well done on all these guys!, they are the best in the biz…
When did Adam Levine join Mayhem? (angelo)
Great episode! And YES - I couldn't agree more - your media team is the BEST! Keep up the great work. 🤩
the fact is. ESPN did/does a horrible job presenting the games. no backgrounds or story line sets ups for the athletes. the documentary's are were I got to know the athletes and a better understanding of the events and skillsets throughout the week.

Love the podcast and so proud of all Mayhem Athletes compete!💪💪🔥🔥
Per Castro's WIR, Roman had the choice of what flag to carry to the podium. He chose the Mayhem flag.
I remember in 2013 ‘flipping through’ and seeing rich at the games and being like yessss this is what i need
There is nothing worse than armchair quarterbacks! You guys were amazing….shut that noise out and be proud of all your accomplishments! No injuries, team unity, learning and having fun in the process.
I am loving the beard Angelo!!!
Obviously mayhem individuals and teams are so amazingly fit. So for people to say what happened is crazy. Hopefully everyone who competed doesn't worry about the negativity, and realizes they are super fit and all provide so many people inspiration, to include myself.

Baylee should join CrossFit Independence for 2024!
Really enjoyable. Thanks.
As always enjoyed the video. I think on Sevan's podcast with Jeff mentioned how he was disappointing in not having to race Roman in theblast 2 events. I guess hebthrives off the racing and he no longer had that.
He probably also knows that a win with Roman hurt last two rounds is going to have people always talking about Roman.
Totally agree with doing at least a recap!
Love the the show and the exiting track that is played.
Emma Lawson won the 40 min bike and finished 2nd at the end of the weekend.
Hey! Is the shirt Rich wearing for sale on Mayhem website??
Angelo, you seemed quite chill this time - is everything okay? 😆
You seeing it all wrong Rich. People have been conditioned to watching YOU and watch you with team DOMINATE. I even caught myself and wife saying "friggin weird not seeing mayhem on podium. Nothing personal. Just different. Kinda like watching football without my Tom Brady...it's tough/weird.

I would love to see Baylee go team ❤
Has an “uncancellable” shirt been released? If so, can we get the link.
Think they should do a time trial on a proper MTB track no gap jumps but some table tops that a rollable and some good climbs and down hill on full sus bikes maybe even allow athletes to bring there own bikes so more sponsorship for athletes.
saying kara would've beat tia in a swim workout in 2017 is wild. tia is a beast in the pool.
Statistically she would have won if there was *not* a swim workout was the point being made
@@CFProjectMayhem ah gotcha i misheard
Fraser also won the clean ladder in 2019 then obviously finished 1st.
CrossFit could have omitted the live stream for the individual 5k and bike which was a total waste of time - no one watched it - and could have allotted that time to the age groups
Dave says I’m his Week In Review that Roman did have a choice
Mayhem media cannot be touched when it come to turn around + quality
Guys - 2022 CrossFit Games Masters Day 1 on RUclips has 683,000 views. Not everyone can watch it live, but people obviously watch it. In terms of who has $$ to spend on sponsors' products - just look at the census because the three highest income brackets are for individuals between the ages of 35 - 65.

People just need to see the Masters competition for what it is and structure it to make $$$ from that reality and STOP saying that because it isn't the Individuals then it just needs to go away. Geez this gets frustrating.
My one thing to complain about - please get some headphones😂😂
Roman wasn’t the only one who got hurt on event 10. Adler got hurt on event 10 and had his foot taped afterwards. He said it on Talking Elite Fitness. Roman chose the Mayhem Flag.
He isnt having to be in a boot like Roman. Probably trying to get people to talk less about Roman.
What you say that they didnt had swimming ?
i think the masters and teens should get more credit, and crossfit should be so F... proud they have these divisions. Its an international event and for like people from europe would like to watcht more age groupp athletes compete.
The real question is, could Sevan beat Laura in a fight?
I think Adler still would have won. But Roman would have gotten silver.
People are saying Brent went slow so Roman could podium. Thoughts?
He was only up by a couple of points and those two workouts were in Roman's wheel house.
So what are your thoughts on shutting down Alex Caron but letting Roman compete
I think Roman was able to make the decision because CrossFit saw they were wrong in the instance of Caron. Hopefully that is the case
i certainly hope so. they dropped the ball last week@@angelodicicco1329
lol did Rich himself not win the games while winning single modality events?
off the top of my head i think he won the overhead squat in 2014 and i think he won a handstand walk event before that.

dale earnhardt jr would be cool too.
if you want ppl to watch masters get Rich to compete
I said pretty much this same thing somewhere else. Everyone’s mad about to the age group coverage blah blah blah, but outside of family, friends, and gyms no one really cares to watch that. Just like how teams used to be before Rich showed up… just sayin lol
@@J_Wolfe86 I think when more indy athletes cross over to masters the viewing numbers will go up
Angelo, I identify as a girl and I am 5’9”
Perfect
@@angelodicicco1329
For serious though, speaking of triathlons. You guys should come do the off-road sprint triathlon I’m putting on.
Mayhem media-team is unmatched🫡
