One was done yesterday we’ll give you a highlight of that the second one’s going to be announced and then the third one of course is 24.1 now speaking of the golden barbell there is a community aspect of this as well love the fact that we’re doing this
Cuz I think it’s an opportunity to really recognize the unsung heroes of the open and the people who really make this event what it is and I’m sure you can think of a few people who are worthy at your affiliate I think that’s the hardest thing with this uh award Sean is
That it’s hard to pick just one member each week uh there are so many people in our Affiliates that Inspire us on a daily basis so like you said this is just a great opportunity to honor those people a lot more to come from Crossfit Pleasanton so stay with us as our
Coverage of 24.1 continues the 24.1 CrossFit Games open announcement is sponsored by momentus the official Sports Nutrition partner of the CrossFit Games go run the world’s toughest rucking gear built from the ground up Road don’t weaken Trifecta the official meal delivery partner of CrossFit and wild Health DNA driven healthc care to

Take the judge’s course oh it’s got to be Adrian I mean only BOS can judge me if only BOS can judge you and you can judge the athletes talk to me how do you encourage other people to sign up and do the judges course so the thing I love
About the judges course it’s not just about judging it’s about understanding the movements understanding the standards the competition how it all works it’s it’s our rule book and and I think it’s really important for everybody who competes to kind of understand those movements and how they
Work and the judging is just sort of the bonus on top of that where you get actually no rep your friends I don’t think I want to be the one no repping my friends but last question I have for you Mark when it comes to a community we
Have Community within the gym do you also have Community within your judges group yeah we have a competition group that works really hard and a lot of Master’s athletes and we all take the judges course and we all work together to kind of show the standards for the
Gym right it’s it’s not about calling people out it’s about demonstrating the the good movement Mo motion and uh helping each other get better mark thank you now that we’ve talked about judging we’re going to look at some of the movements that we might see maybe some
That we don’t want to see some outrageous movements here let’s see guys which ones do we want to see maybe some Thruster passes I don’t know okay some cartwheels do we want cartwheels Wheels yeah reverse box jumps how about those no what are we going to call this one
Okay I think this is the new way to handstand walk or handstands okay anybody want to try that one later all right a prediction for 24.1 let’s see it handstand basketball that’s just absolutely ridiculous if anybody can do that I’ll give you kudos for it we’ve got a big

And then the viewers at home we have four of the best in the world who are about to throw down for you here live including the 2023 fittest man on Earth Jeffrey Adler he and the rest of the athletes over there in the goad warm-up area getting set for whatever
BOS is going to throw yeah and like you mentioned Jeff Adler is the reigning fittest man on Earth from 2023 this is his first open announcement but he has won the worldwide open twice before and he’s actually only one of three males with multiple open wins and then of course
The professor Brent fikowski he he just turned 33 four four days ago so he’s a fellow Pisces the only one of these four athletes to have done an open announcement before and he actually beat Pat velner in 17.1 in that announcement and then of course the youngster Alex
Gazan who’s only 22 years old but had a career breakout season last year she finished fifth at the CrossFit Games and then backed that up with a fifth place at the Rogue Invitational with a tremendous event win on the deadlift ladder and then just behind her this
Year at the games was Al Alexis raptis she had a career best finish uh like I said just behind Alex gazan and six she actually wore the white the leader Jersey for three of the tests at the games could we see her on the podium
This year uh we don’t know but we are about to kick off this season for all four of these athletes mentioned the golden barbell competition and it is three workouts we are going to see the next two event number one or workout number one happened yesterday over at
Cross at 580 it’s about 15 minutes from here it was a fantastic environment it was nasty girls an OG test in one you’re very familiar with indeed it was about uh 19 years ago I think that I did that first test um it was 2005 and we were
Actually at the original CrossFit gym in Santa Cruz California 2650 Research Park Drive you know it was just something that Greg and Lauren at the time were like what if we threw these three movements together and we had these three girls doing them and how about
Ring muscleups and at the time we only had one set of rings that was high enough to that you could actually really hang from so they hung three sets from the pull-up bar and we just did muscleups off our knees and you know a 95 lb hang power clean at that time was
Pretty heavy as you can see right there I had no idea what I was doing we had no idea how to cycle barbells but you know we got such an incredible response from so many people and I think a lot of that was just um females at that time were
Not doing these types of movements as far as Fitness went so crazy to think back on that you mentioned that that thing went viral anybody who hasn’t seen that before that was sort of the first big video in the across the community when did you know that oh we did
Something special here well it was funny because people kept saying you know you’re getting all we’re getting all these hits and so I went home and I told my husband hey I guess this video is getting all these hits and he said well Annie when people Google nasty girls
Nobody thinks they’re getting a workout video and I was like oh okay but I think it was it really took me a few years to understand why that that video was so impactful and a lot of that was because I was lucky enough to be training alongside Nicole and Eva and they were
We were constantly pushing each other so we didn’t think what we were doing was so special at the time you saw what NY girls looked like in 2005 here’s what it looked like yesterday at CrossFit 580 as we kicked off the Golden barbell Competition hey everybody Welcome to the kickoff of the 2024 open what are we doing nasty World hell yeah three rounds of 50 air squats seven muscle ups and 10 hang power cleans and really fast this became a race between Jeffrey Adler and Alex gazan Adler had a
Better Pace on the air squats but gazan because of her height was able to Kip those muscle ups extremely fast on the barbell cycling it came down to the final round Alex gazan picks up the first workout win not by much only two seconds over Jeff Adler Alexis raptus
Finishes in third and Brent fikowski takes forth but decided to have a little fun with the crowd in the process really appreciate you guys being here showing support for these athletes you guys ready for the [Applause] open and if you want to want to watch that event it’s an entirety you can head
To the crossing games YouTube channel and check that out there is Alex gazan who is your leader right now in the golden barbell competition courtesy of that event win open scoring is in effect here so the lowest score will win one point for first two points for second
And so on As you move your way down the standing so here’s where we stand coming into workout number two that’s going to be announced here in just a second Alex gazan with one point followed by Adler raptus and Brent fikowski well the athletes are getting set for that second
Workout let send it back to the floor Bella Martin let’s let’s bring out our first athlete you’re reigning fittest man on Earth Jeff Adler coming up next eight-time CrossFit games competitor Brent felski and the winner of nasty girls yesterday Alex [Applause] gazan our fourth and final athlete will
Be Alexis raptus welcome out all four of our competitors [Applause] I’m here with Alex gazan the winner of nasty girls yesterday we chatted yesterday and you didn’t know what that workout was and now you’ve done it you’ve won it and you’ve gone it in history how does that feel it was really
Fun um I like muscleups and I was really nervous that it was going to be like a sell your soul workout and it was really fun just like air squats muscleups couple cleans it was a good time it was a good time and nasty girls was historic
Because it was the first time women and men could kind of kind of do the same thing and it’s one of the first times women and men are on the same competition floor going head-to-head how does that feel as an athlete competing against the men’s field it’s super fun
Like I knew Jeff was a piston on his air squats and he’d be ahead by like lots of reps and so I was like okay go hard on the muscleups and it made it a fun race it was super fun it’s been really exciting watching you develop and grow
As an athlete especially as a female athlete how do you hope to inspire the younger generation of female athletes to come after you uh I say follow your heart have fun like work hard and good things will happen good things will happen thank you Alex good luck on the next two workouts
And now here’s Adrienne Bosman with workout number two all right everybody we went old school yesterday with nasty girls we’re going to keep that theme alive today these athletes are going to take it all the way back to the first open and they’re going to complete
11.3 as the second workout in the golden barbell miniseries so they’re going to be doing five minutes of as many reps as possible of one squat clean and one jerk and in true CrossFit fashion every rep counts let’s kick it off and there it is the second workout
Of the golden barbell Throwdown for 5 minutes max reps of squat clean and jerks 110 lbs for the women 1165 for the men the first year of the open the third work out we had 26,000 people signed up that year some familiar faces and our very own Pat
Sherwood right there and look Chris clever I mean I love it these are athletes that are still doing CrossFit these days right here Chris clever didn’t have the uh top scorer but her Becca Voit right there still a master’s athlete put up really good scores uh Sarah mass for the females actually had
The best women’s score it was 90 reps uh it 110 lbs at that point was pretty heavy uh you can see that a lot of these ladies were choosing to Thruster that barbell on the men’s side it was one rich throning who won that with 93 reps
It’ll be interesting to see how far Fitness has come I have a feeling those scores are are about to go down so you haven’t had a whole lot of time to think about this in process but what were your keys to success be in this test I think
That it would still be even with these athletes a a one and dump you know just stay close to that barbell it’s I don’t think it’s worth it to touch and go but I’m an old lady so we’ll see we’ll see what the youngsters do all right we are ready to get this
Thing going let’s go down to the competition floor competition director Adrien Bosman 10 seconds 3 2 one go workout number two of the golden barbell Throwdown is underway Max reps of clean and jerks here for 5 minutes it looks like they’re going Synchro this they might have just turned
This into a team workout you can see a lot of those athletes looking at the clock so I think they’re kind of utilizing a one maybe every 10ish seconds everybody through just about three or four reps Adler looks to be in the lead by the scoreboard on the top of your screen
Leader name will be highlighted in yellow and the number in the white box will indicate how many repetitions that athlete has completed the number in the white box next to everyone else’s name we’ll show you how far behind they are of the leader approaching the one minute
Mark here second of three tests for the golden barbell workout number three is 24.1 that will be announced at 12 noon local again I think it’s you know important to note back in the day back in 2011 165 110 was a moderately heavy weight uh you
Know in just just what 12 13 years this is a pretty lightweight for all of these athletes again it looks like they’re using a very controlled way to approach at least the first minute or two of this of this workout everybody even at nine reps a piece now [Applause]
As we’re now past the minute 30 Mark just five minutes here you think about Rich’s score of 93 reps that’s about 15 reps a minute so we are off that pace right now we’re off that pace but don’t forget Sean these athletes did a workout yesterday and more importantly they have 24.1 coming
Down the pipes yes they’re throwing down for this golden barbell but I think they also want to have a great showing on 24.1 they have no idea what that’s going to be 2 minutes 10 seconds gone by here and it’s Jeff Adler who scoreboard says 20 but that is not correct I think
Everybody right now is on about 14 or 15 all of them choosing to use that squat clean Thruster not standing it up resetting and going to the jerk this is a light enough weight that it’s just easier to go right from that squat to overhead more than halfway through to take a look at Bren fikowski
Who’s coming off a a great you know past couple of events just missing the podium at the CrossFit Games then a real solid showing in his first appearance of the Rogue Invitational has a lot of momentum coming into 2024 and how about Jeff Adler he looks a
Little thicker than we’ve seen him right we saw him yesterday and that was the first thing I noticed and we talked to his coach and partner Carolyn lambre and and we asked him is he bigger and she said yeah he’s a little chunky so I wouldn’t call that chunky that guy is a
If that’s chunky I’m Beast Lobster we got 90 seconds to go here now the pace looking to pick up a little bit yeah looks like they they maybe had a little team talk before going in and then everyone’s still pretty much on the same Pace Alexis rapt has just finished
That last rep ahead of everyone else wait for the official scores here we’ll see if uh anyone decides to pick it up in that last Minute Alex gazan on the bottom right side of your screen she has the win in workout number one nasty girls from yesterday now less than a minute to [Applause] go good clean movement from all these [Applause] athletes still have yet to see anybody go with a jerk just still kind of pressing that
Barbell overhead Alexis has this great little she just barely sneaks under it but still comes right out of the squat stands it up [Applause] quick 10 seconds to go and then we will check the scorecards to figure out who wins workout number two here of the golden barbell Throwdown
And we are done so a casual little stroll with some barbell for Alexis raptis and Company yeah I yeah I think oh do one more well they Jeff and uh and Alex switched bars right there how talking to Justin Cotler yesterday her coach and I’ve talked to
Him a lot about her he is really really excited about what the future holds for her and says that she still has a lot of PRS ahead of her okay yeah put up impressive numbers and she is someone who will be I think in the not if not the top five competition
Conversation that gains maybe the podium conversation for sure so young so much uh so much ahead of her and she really seems very grounded uh well there you go 30 Reps for everybody everybody’s a winner I think every I think everybody getss a a an award right a trophy for this one
So all these athletes started off with a basically a synchronized GP didn’t see this coming but they stayed Synchro for pretty much the entire workout maybe using it as a little warmup for 24.1 Sean hard to say but it looks like they’re having fun and that’s
The best part about this whole thing is is Throwdown know I I 30 Reps for everybody and then an extra rep for Alex gazan and Jeff Hadler and no big deal let me just thrust her that 165 at the end of the workout unbelievable Justin kler was saying that she’s cleaner 285 that
Doesn’t surprise me look at look at her arm Well everybody’s a winner and that means they all get to join bellam Mar two workouts down one left to go Alexis it’s your first open announcement how does does it feel to be competing here with three of the other top
Athletes in the world oh my gosh it’s amazing um it’s such an honor to be here and yeah whatever workout we have to do I’m excited for and yeah being here with these guys is so much fun they’re such amazing people and athletes obviously too so yeah so happy to be here we’re
Happy you’re here too right cross at Pleasanton yeah now Brent you’re no stranger to competition I’ve seen you around the world now I’m here with you on the floor for an open announcement what is it like to you to be competing globally and then now here in the first ever golden
Barbell challenge yeah it’s fun you know just uh one more cool opportunity to compete never been to San Francisco it’s lovely so far A little warmer than Canada um oh I wanted to correct you I did not beat Pat bner in 2017 open announcement just sorry Pat
Um but this is a lot of fun it’s it’s you know these people even though I only get to compete against them like three times a year I consider people like Adler some of my best friends so it’s good to see them it’s fun we love watching you as well and something that
I’ve noticed is the community and camaraderie between you and the other Canadian boys how do you guys hope to continue to grow the sport of CrossFit within Canada and then also globally yeah I think um you know hopefully you know someone like myself and someone
Like Pat and stuff we can kind of use our platform to push that forward and you know work together with Crossfit we’ve had some great conversations the last two days and uh yeah I’m I’m really I’m more optimistic now than ever about the future of athletes of all levels
Getting the opportunity to compete thanks Brent last question here for Alexis I’ve been loving watching you competing as a teenager now you’re an adult in the field talk to me about that come up as an athlete what have you faced and how do you feel like you’re
Coming into your own um it’s been a struggle um it took me six years to qualify as an individual after the teen division um and I thought it would you know take one year I thought I would just make the jump and it’s it’s been so
Much harder um but so rewarding and I’m so proud that I didn’t quit and give up when it got hard cuz it was so hard um but yeah like in the teen Division I was telling someone the other day um there was a workout we did in 2015 and it was

Talking yesterday about it there’s so many fun moments that you get to see in your gym what are some of the more memorable things that you’ve seen in your affiliate during this time I mean there’s it’s hard to pick one out but it’s always you know somebody getting a
First muscle up somebody deadlifting or cleaning a weight that they’ve never thought possible or somebody even just attempting even if they didn’t succeed attempting something that they wouldn’t have if it wasn’t the open and the whole Community wasn’t there cheering them on so you know whether they succeed or not
It’s really just the trying that’s so important all right let’s talk about you now what is your most memorable open moment um it might be redoing uh 11.1 for the like third third time when we did it and redid it and redid it um that would probably probably be
The one that comes to mind first just redoing that first one not even realizing what we were doing at the time um but enjoying knowing that I was doing it with the entire CrossFit Community globally well we might make some more memories here soon the live announcement of 24.1 is
Next the 24.1 CrossFit Games open announcement is sponsored by go Ruck the world’s toughest rucking gear built from the ground up Joo go and Joo mole hard work clean fuel no excuses and the United States border patrol go Beyond Cole Sager 20 seconds remaining one lift one final opportunity at 265 Sager 265 oh that was awesome Here Comes s Brigs her final nine repetitions trying to lock up the victory here Sam RS will win [Applause] 15.5 moving in to his final step he’s
All by himself in the lead but it’s Rich Bry who else the champ another [Applause] pictory that was insane that was absolutely incredible welcome everybody to the official start of the 2024 CrossFit Game season and the announcement of 24.1 presented by momentus from Crossfit Pleasanton and Pleasanton
California he is back for the official announcement of the first workout of the worldwide open here is Dave [Applause] Castro 24 point point1 is going to feature two movements the dumbbell snatch and the Burpee with the classic CrossFit rep scheme of 21 15 [Applause] nine now let’s head over to the chalkboard for
Further explanation 24.1 is 21 15 n snatches and burpees the snatches are with 50b for the man 35 for the women the burpees are over the dumbbell the way you do this is you do 21 snatches and then you do 21 burpees and then you do 15 snatches and then you do 15
Burpees then you do nine snatches and then you do nine burpees with that we end up here okay but when looking at that you start to question yourself and you think well what if what if what if we did 21 snatches brought this down did 21 burpees and then 21 snatches then 15
15 and 15 then Nine Nine and Nine and look and look even here it haunts me and looking at those numbers you start to think well what if well what if we did 21 snatches 21 Burpee 21 snatches and then 21 burpees and what if and what if these snatches were all
Done on the same arm and the second set was done with the other arm okay 24.1 is 21 snatches 21 burpees 21 snatches 21 burpees 15 snatches 15 burpees 15 snatches 15 burpees nine snatches nine burpees nine snatches nine burpees four time with a 15minute Time cap Welcome to the
Welcome to the 2024 CrossFit Games season when Dave Castro brings out the Blackboard you’re going to have a bad time I kind of liked that first mushroom the best I’m in a low mood after seeing that all explained that’s a lot of reps that’s 180 reps to be exact to quote Han
Solo might not look like much but she’s got it where it counts this is going to be oh yeah oh yeah you buckle up well and I think how you know all of us have been doing dumbbell snatches relentlessly for how many years now how
Many of us have been doing them all on one arm and then all on the other not me Sean uh and I think it’s going to be a real different Beast to have to do all of those snatches on one arm before being able to switch over we want to thank our presenting
Partner momentus the official supplement partner of the CrossFit games you can text CrossFit to 30493 for 25% off your first momentous order and a chance to win a signed t-shirt from two-time CrossFit Games Champion Annie Thor stauter plus $11,000 in products for momentus and go Ruck well you probably don’t want to do

Workouts each week and additional versions will be available to the older age group athletes for coaches and affiliate owners CrossFit affiliate programming will be providing two class plans for each workout those class plans are available in the affiliate toolkit you’re probably thinking to yourself right now okay how do I attack this how
Do I get the best score possible and to help you with that here’s Denise Thomas hello everybody and welcome to the 2024 CrossFit Games open and man are we off with a bang we got some dumbbell snatches we got some lateral burpee over the dumbbells 180 reps 90 of each all the arms all the legs all the breathing it’s going to be absolutely epic the
Dumbbell needs to be moved fast well maybe you’re an experienced crossfitter who’s looking at that dumbbell you’re like that’s not very heavy great muscle snatch unbroken keep it close once in a while get a little redp to save the arms but you got to stay on that dumbbell if
You want to get a fast time if you’re an athlete though that’s looking at those dumbbells and you’re like you know what they’re not light but they’re definitely not heavy now we’re thinking about breaking it up now what does that look like perhaps try breaking it up into
Three sets have a scheduled rest when you’re in control of your rest the rest is usually shorter when you’re forced to rest it’s a lot longer than you think now for you people that might be still getting your Fitness back or you’re new don’t you worry your coaches are going
To take care of you they’re going to give you a weight that’s going going to help you move well you rest when you need you have some fun and maybe your goal is to just get through as many those 21 as you can for the Burpee give
Your legs a little rest stand up take a deep breath take one deep breath two deep breaths three deep breaths and then get back after it it’s time to Giddy Up get going chest bump high five your people log your scores and I will see you on the leaderboard You can see more tips from Denise on the CrossFit Games YouTube channel and stick around after the show to get recovery tips cuz those are going to be key after this workout from morosi’s Dr Jason Garrett on the CrossFit Games podcast so 24.1 is the first workout of the 2024
Open it is the third and final workout of the golden barbell Throwdown this is what that consists of yesterday we did nasty girls it was Alex gazan who took that by a couple seconds over Jeff Adler workout to just happened earlier it was 11.3 a repeat 5 minutes for max squat clean and
Jerks everybody won that all the athletes tying it 30 reps and workout number three will decide it as Adler raptus gazan and fikowski all go head-to-head in 24.1 and there is Alex gazan who is your overall leader coming into this third and final event of the golden barbell
Throwdown workout number one nasty girls that was yesterday and then workout two again Annie just happened a few minutes ago and everybody was a winner yeah and what a great way to start a Throwdown with some Throwbacks uh the first of those like you said Sean was nasty girls a
Bunch Mark workout that was started in 2005 and like you said it was Alex gazan who was able to take Adler so fast on those squats but gazan was just a little bit quicker on the muscleups being able to Kip them both were fast on the barbell and Brent fikowski with a squat
Clean and a fist bump to finish it off he had fun and then workout number two we had a repeat from the very first CrossFit open it was a am wrap a 5- minute am wrap of squat clean and jerks and these athletes went rep forre whether that was planned or just
Synchronicity we don’t know but like you said they all ended with the same reps 30 reps at the end of that so that keeps Alex gazan on top of the leaderboard just one point ahead of Jeffrey Adler and it is this third and final workout the first workout of the open that will
Determine our winner of that golden barbell Throwdown and as you mentioned Alex xan with two points she’s your overall leader Jeff ather is a point back of her followed by raptus and Brent pakowski once again what they are competing for is the golden barbell presented by Rogue the
Winner of each week’s open announcement will take home one of these things and it is absolutely beautifully crafted by Rogue Fitness 24.1 has just been announced you’re going to do a whole lot of dumbbell snatches and a whole lot of burpees 180 total reps if you want to
Finish this thing what’s the recipe for Success presented by Tri fact Andy you know I think uh the first thing is you need to play to your strength so for you Sean that bar that dumbbell is probably pretty light you got to rip it you got
To grip it and rip it for you the burpees are not you’re going to make up your time so you have to past those out for me the burpees are when I’m where I’m going to make up my time so I got to go and then the second thing would be
Prepare to suffer there is nothing technical in this workout and you are not going to fail a burpee so you better just be prepared to let the hurt in and embrace it let’s let the hurt begin to get this thing kicked off down to the competition floor games competition director Adrien
Bosman athletes you’ve got 10 seconds 3 2 1 go and here we go 21 consecutive dumbbell snatches on the same arm 21 burpees and it’s not specified which arm you have to start with just as long as you switch arms you do 21 on one of them and 21 on the other
And you can see that each of these athletes has chosen a different arm be interesting to know if they chose strong dominant arm or weaker arm to start with all of them though are muscle Snatching Jeff Adler is gotten into his first set of burpees over the dumbbells Alex gazan was there as well and a two- foot takeoff is not required but listen everybody jump over the dumbbell do the movement don’t try to game it if you’re going to do that
You’re going to put it in the hands of the the judges and likely they’re going to ding you for that exact jump over the thing exactly you know and and jumping over the dumbbell at first can be a little bit trickier than a barbell you have less surface area uh you know that
Or less distance to figure out where to get your feet and so it can be a little bit trickier at 42 reps Jeff Adler will head back to the dumbbell for his second set of 21 he’ll switch arms goal on those burpees definitely is to stay as low as
Possible as close to the [Applause] ground let’s addler in first as fikowski and raptus got to the dumbbell at the same time Alex gazam at the far end of the floor right now in fourth place GA to 50 now of the 180 total reps I like how relaxed Alec
Gazan looks right now it looks very effortless on that right arm her feet aren’t Moving and you got to feel for Brent fikowski on this event you know being a longer athlete the cycle time over 180 reps that adds up Adler’s on to his second and final set of 21 burpees as is Alexis rapis on the right side of your screen and now
Brent pakowski hanging in there on his second set of 21 well they’re not quite Synchro but they’re really close so [Applause] far Alexis raptus and Alex gazan again two women who look to figure into the podium conversation at the CrossFit games this year you talk to people at Underdog specifically Justin CER herook coach he’s a extremely high on Alex gazan and we I had a chance to talk to Travis
Mayer a week back about Alexis raptis and he was saying the same thing keep an eye on these two women as we move our way through the season Jeff Adler is now through through 94 of the 180 total repetitions of course the defending fittest man on Earth and this is the
Round where the pain really sets in Sean the 15s always on any 2159 this is where the hurt starts to come in and the and the desire to slow down starts to accumulate Jeff opening up a definite lead over the other athletes right now hather through 107 reps in counting Bren
Fikowski and raptus are battling for second place behind him and Alex gazan sits and [Applause] fourth Adler is now done so 15 more snatches he’ll get to the 129 rep Mark and then he’ll have his final set of 15 burpees and then you’re in the home stretch exactly it’s so different though you
Know normally on NES you you have Nine and Nine and you’re done this you have Nine and Nine and Nine and Nine and then you’re done Adler with a couple reps to go and he’ll get back to the burpees on the far end of the floor he’s through now 129 of
The0 reps and this is his final set of 15 Brett fikowski is falling back along with Alexis raptus and Jeff Adler has had a blistering Pace here as we approach the 5minute mark and I think if anything he’s almost getting faster 144 reps will move into the sets of
Nine now Brett pakowski onto his final set of 15 and Adler with the left arm into his round of nine dumbbell snatches 153 reps that’s the Mark he’s got to get to got nine more burpees for Jeff Adler pakowski and raptus still battling for second Alex
Gazan on the right side of your screen is starting to gain a little ground on raptus and fikowski for second place behind your 2023 fittest man on Earth ad now just 18 reps to go I think he’s getting faster and faster on every round Alex gazan on the right side
Trying to pick up ground on raptus and pakowski for second place [Applause] here Adler now final nine [Applause] reps Jeff Adler looking to take 24.1 and his title defense has officially begun Jeff Adler smashing 24.1 6 minutes 10 seconds almost a third of the time Gap Sean Brent fski and Alexis raptus are
Now fighting for second place they are neck and neck Alex gazan is a handful of refs behind them raptus is is in fikowski is done and that will leave Alex gazan now with a couple reps to go and she is in unbelievable effort from all four of these
Athletes this is why people have unrealistic expectations when they take on these workouts because of how fast they just did this on the floor well so you look at you look at uh Jeff adley 612 okay if I had about 3 minutes to that that should be good wrong if I’m
Out of the first round in 612 I’ll be happy right exactly but they make it look so easy it’s so it’s so easy to be caught in a little trap and you mentioned it I think Jeff ather got faster as this thing went on without a doubt you know they start and they’re
Almost Synchro Jeff’s just a little bit faster but Alexis was right behind him and it was in those 15s when I think AB really started to pick up the pace and open up his lead BR I’m so impressed with Brent fikowski again this is not an a workout that would lean on his
Strength of being a taller athlete he he didn’t let Alexis raptus get too far ahead of him in fact he stayed a little bit ahead of Alexis but it was Jeffrey Adler who just got faster and faster on every single round all 180 reps in an unofficial time
Of about 6 minutes and 12 seconds so impressive by the reigning fittest man on Earth and then right behind him look at that look how fast he is Jeff Adler takes 24.1 alxis raptis will finish in second place and Alexis raptus is standing by with Bella
Mar thanks Sean Alexis 24.1 done in the books it was a bit tricky for that one 2159 but make it double what were your thoughts going into this one uh I actually really like that workout so thanks um I feel like in my head sounded
Way worse and then you get in it and it’s almost over so uh go harder than you want to go so go harder than you want to go that’s the first tips and tricks you you being newer to the open side of competition coming second place behind Jeff how does that encourage you
Going into the next two weeks of the open and then into your season um just knowing I’m close with these people who are the best in the world is a nice little confidence booster it’s like okay I’m where like right where I need to be right now you’re right where you need to
Be and we’ve got two more weeks left anything you’re hoping to see next week maybe week number three some handstand push-ups please you heard it from Alexa handstand push-ups I don’t know about that but we’ll see thanks to all the athletes for 24.1 Sean back to you thank you Bella here are your
Results Jeff ather by 26 seconds over Alexis raptus to pick up the win here in workout number three of the golden barbell Throwdown Brent pakowski was just three back of raptus and Alex gazan at 651 finishes in fourth well we will be we have been asking the fans who would
Win and 44% of you picked it correctly congratulations you guys are pretty smart the rest of you I’m not angry I’m just disappointed thanks Dad turns out our fans know what they are talking about it’s hard bet against the fittest man right for sure we will be back with the official presentation
Of the golden Barbell the 24.1 CrossFit Games open announcement is sponsored by momentus the official Sports Nutrition partner of the CrossFit Games roog don’t weaken and go Ruck the world’s toughest rucking gear built from the ground Up the first round of 24.1 is done and the golden barbell Throwdown has come to a close let’s go back to Adrien Bosman for the presentation of the golden barbell presented by Rogue all right this year at the end of every open announcement we’re going to be presenting the golden barbell to the
Winner now remember there’s also the community golden barbell competition going on so nominate people in your community that exemplify the spirit of the open use the hashtag golden barbell award nominate your people this year the first golden barbell winner with second place in nasty girls yesterday first
Place my miraculous tie for first place in 11.3 earlier today and then winning 24.1 Jeff [Applause] Adler Jeff I love to see you with a golden barbell in hand first thing I want to know it does suit you well but I want to know what you’re going to do
With it first first uh well it’s a 35 lb barbell so unless unless they send me a 45 then it’s going to go on the mantle I guess we’ll talk to Rogue about getting you a men’s bar of 45 PBS something you won the open last year you just won 24.1
Here at the live announcement is that more that we can look forward to this coming season maybe returning to the top of the podium from you I hope so that’s what we’re that’s what we’re working for and uh this is a great start but obviously like we’re the first people to
Do it so we’ll see by the end of Monday but I’m happy with what I did I think I don’t think I can go really faster than that and uh it was great it’s a good workout tips to success for some of the athletes at home that watch you do this
Maybe want to take it on themselves today or the rest of the weekend yeah so uh if you go un broken on the dumbbell your grip will feel it because of the full 21 and 15 on each side so if you want to break those up if grip is a
Limiting factor then do so and then just space it on on the burpees I would argue going faster on the burpees will pay off more than trying to go fast on the dumbbell and then dying on the burpees so that’s my take that’s your take you have the golden barbell for the golden
Barbell Throwdown we also have the golden barbell Community award who would you nominate within your community uh I in my gym I would say I I think I would say SAA so SAA is our landlord actually she’s been training with us since 2018 19 17 oh sorry I don’t she she’s she
Runs the she well she runs everything um uh she’s 74 76 sorry so I would nominate saza she’s great and she she she she’s exactly what CrossFit is like staying healthy even when you’re getting older so yeah I love it guys keep those nominations coming

do they will get penalized, because they didn't start with the back to the dumbbell on their first Rep?😝😂🤯
God he gets on my nerves!!
For those yet to do this workout, it HURT!!!! Got 7:51RX and I aint repeating that shit.
I’m just saying for no particular reason If the CrossFit games go woke I quitting CrossFit
Fikowski's face will literally become Meme of the year 2024 😂
Start standing tall with your back to the dumbbell ??????
Awesome!!!!
What happened to the video quality. The games used to look so much better
Não começaram de costas, foi validado ?????
Workout 2 was so disappointing. That was stupid. Look how far we have come since Froning's 93 reps
Ouch. Fort Worth… in August?? Y'all trying to slow the Canadians down with 110 degree weather?
Castro is such a fucking tool. Just announce the workout dude
I appreciate the workout, it's cool.
In 24.2, please, make Castro speaks and a 5 yo child puts it on the board. We'll understand better.
Dave is back, and the dramatic announcement. So fun.
Literally the first thing written on the scorecard is, " Start standing tall with your back to the dumbbell." and none of the athletes started with their backs to the dumbbell. Come on CrossFit – none of those scores should count unfortunately.
Great!
I think CrossFit is back. I love it!!!!
Não começaram de costas, foi validado ?????

Funny how they said Fronings score of 96 would be coming down but once they all started doing one rep every 10 seconds they changed their mind and said well they did do Nasty Girl WOD yesterday .
Why have them do a WOD at maximum the day before they compete?
Why synchronize? Thought this was a competition
This is the best stream ive seen in a while!
1:00:41. Straight to business. You're welcome.

I'm not a body builder but thirty reps on that little weight! What??

Already starting the season not holding their own standard. Cool.

I don't get it. Max clean and jerks but they're doing Thrusters…?!?!?
Dave is back, and the dramatic announcement. So fun.
I did scaled 99 reps 🎉❤ it’s my first month doing CrossFit. 🏋🏻♀️
Does anyone love Dave Castro more than Dave Castro? Classic tool narcissist
Hello, Humans
Money is important, but integrity is more important. Don't compromise who you are and your principles for nobody.
TERRANCE OUT
Hey Dave, Crossfit Games aren't about you, just say the workout and let the athletes perform.
CrossFit HQ finally came to their senses and brought Dave Castro back. Nice.
What’s the name of the presenter/hostess of the show?
#24.1 lo hice en 18min
Workout 2 was incredibly boring to watch. Where’s that competitive spirit?
1:00:41. Right on to the point. Thank you very much.
Texas in August?!? Sounds miserable
I'm tall and lanky like Brent Fikowski, so I could see that Fikowski was like, "Oh, fuck you dude," when Castro was introducing this whole thing.
It’s insane how easy these athletes make this look. It took me 14:42 and I was dead 🥵
