again great day yesterday even better day coming today oh I cannot wait for a Saturday at the Tan Pro it’s a personal favorite of mine Saturday is just bring something special and obviously small steps for Hannah is a big part of that great day for our teams a very big day for our teams with three events and starting with an absolute rip snotter a lot of rope climbs handstand push-ups and some Echo calories that really the wind out of some athletes but some impressive performances oh impressive performances all around yesterday some big lifting obviously expected from Big Royce d a crowd favorite here vorian Mayhem also exf with some huge lifting from their girls just unreal Adrian KY good to see her back after her back injury in individual competition last year Jon o darlock most C for exf they are one to watch today for sure at the final event of the day it was brooling and it was long but what a battle we had at the end oh we did some running last night didn’t we and the images over Pat rafter with that beautiful sunset making it all the worthwhile I think standings after the first three events two to come today touring Mayhem and Mayhem Thunder sharing equal lead 288 not tooo far back that soon we spoke about exf chocolate box keep your eye on them I spoke to Luke star a little while ago and he is really impressed with the way chocolate box have gone about their business and they actual special favorite for you as well that’s right they’re my Dark Horse but to the ladies now they only had to do one event yesterday and what an event it was Michelle Hayes coming in stamping her name on the Tan Pro but Maddie St absolutely no stranger down here in the Oceania region just doing Maddy things and coming in with a big event win huge for her I’m looking forward to seeing what MD St does today great impressive performance from Matty stur with 100 points to start off day two of competition Michelle Hayes impressive from her grace Walton doing exactly what she needs to do and stay consistent sitting in that third place position again I think today is going to be Grace Walton day the battle with her and Matty T is going to be impressive but the men’s division that thing is going to be heating up as well and starting off yesterday I don’t think the TAC was going to be used to what Ricky Gard was going to put out cuz he set the place on fire Ricky Gad and that engine I mean look if it’s aerobic Ricky Gard is going to absolutely destroy it but look Jay crouched right there behind him there was a bit of space between them but Jay doing what he needs to do and Bailey Martin also doing what he needs to do oh of course and yesterday proved that it’s not just about day one but it’s a full three-day competition Ricky leading the charge Jake Crouch Bailey Martin pet and surprise Rob Forte we had a withdrawal unfortunately late yesterday with Zack Thomas going to hospital late yesterday a down for more on that let’s head down to the third member of our team good morning to Miss Bella Mar oh good morning guys and what a heartbreaking end right say the heartthrob here we go of the Toran Pro field everyone was looking forward to Zach Thomas’s performances this weekend having him as the Dark Horse for a lot of people with that fourth spot opening up he unfortunately overworked his heart went into overdrive his coach was sharing a little bit about that on social media saying it’s a like a lot like if your car is going to burn out and you’re at a full stop fortunately enough he’s saying he’s going to make a full recovery and when checking in with Zach all he’s worried about is his pressing strength not decreasing too much so positive we wish you a good and speedy recovery Zach we miss you out here but I’ll tell you what that fourth spot still open for someone else and I think it’s going to be a big day competition here rookie I have no doubts and Zach messaged me late last night saying the nurses want a little bit of snacky time still no surprise event number two for the individuals coming up five rounds of 100 double unders 20 tot to Bar 10 front squats two 125 lb points to about 102.5 kilos and 18 minutes on our time cap and our go rup steps to success unbroken double unders and hold on to the barbell you make it sound so simple throwing back to the Far East Throwdown and the French Throwdown last week out Asia and Europe semi-finals respectively things didn’t play out the way things would have for a number of athletes Elena Simon Zack Thomas won’t be joining us in Lane number one a number of athletes in there you will be familiar with Dow in number eight a qualifier from last year Mr Jake Douglas with a plenty of work to do and he absolutely won the heart of the Tan Pro L year with his performance we’re going to have to wait and see what he can do Conor Smith and you come out to competition and now youngster in the gray shirt far right of screen Johan [Applause] Roberts you won’t even say racing but often skipping to start day two of competition and I been very excited to see how this one plays out and how people have learned from last week and what actually happened to the as they broke down over the five rounds I think these double unders affect those front squats a lot more than what it looks like on [Music] paper we’re going to find that athletes with that big aerobic capacity will have absolutely no problem getting through 100 double unders but that front squat weight 102 kilos look it’s not light at all it’s 225b for around the world viewers but we use the metric system down here that’s 102 k thank you for joining us wherever we are right around the world I know there is plenty going on the weekend just starting in some places around the world so if you are joining us thanks for your coming in we’ll try and keep you entertained right throughout the day but we’re going to bring you every minute of every heat of all three days of competition here at the T Pro Andrew sell taking a break also Jake Douglas taking a break so not a bad strategy first off if we think about tow to bar and the front squat obviously 20 toes to bar that’s a fair Chunk on your midline and you need your midline to be able to front squat the leader Andrew sell congratulations s him this morning just got engaged to partner Sask I actually sat next to Andrew on the plane here th and we have a little bit of a chinwag he is really looking forward to the snatch event oh I’m sure and he’s just so fun to watch out there he’s such a chill personality always got a smile on his face I remember last year he absolutely tore aart those benchs he did had a few issues at the Down Under Championship late last year lower back injury really flared him up and tears on the floor but I spoke to him this morning and he said that lower back is good to go Riley Martin brother of Bailey so a good family partner connection we’ve seen right across atorian Pro it’s a very tight neck community over here got some good deep breathing from Jake Douglas and honestly we’ve seen a number of athletes especially at the European semi-final the French Throwdown fail reps and consistently fail those double under reps and I think it’s important if you don’t think you’ve got 100 stop before you miss it’s going to have a positive impact on you rather than a negative one I think a lot of time can be made up with smooth sets of double unders try not to break them up too much [Applause] if you’ve got a strength though use it to your advantage and if 100 double unders is absolutely no problem for you then do 100 double unders don’t waste any [Music] time Ry Martin Andrew sell your two leaders heading into the second round and you think about heart rate and how to maximize your efficiency and your performance but also minimizing your breathing and your heart rate 100 double unders and 20 toad to Bar then you move to a heavyish barbell and you’re trying to control your body it’s tough going I think it’s about controlling it on transitions as well so if you’re plan is to drop down off those tow bar that’s where you take a breath before you jump back up just try and lose that urgency Jak Douglas Johan Roberts Nathan Cordon on screen right to left as Riley Martin the two times games competitor in the teenage division people forget we’ve got a number of competitors especially a youngsters coming through that have gone to the proect games as teenagers Yan Roberts the far right moving down with Jake Douglas one of those athletes as well and again the negative mindset when you do miss you go damn it of Miss rather than doing sets and stop really hard to gauge the legs are going to be very heavy from last night I spoke to Georgia prior earlier on today she said her hamstrings are on absolute fire from Those runs especially with the inclines I said that gradient hitting the hammies I said how bad was that incline and I said it’s only about a 4 to 5 m elevation shift from the floor here to the Turner she thought it was going to be a lot more than that but she said you knew it was there but today athletes definitely know it was there cuz they are burning a fair bit Heat number one underway we’ve got five Heats this morning and this is round three the second event of the week weekend the big day coming tomorrow for the individuals team competition finishing up this afternoon speaking of finishing up Andrew Stell finishing up with his double unders [Applause] we know coming into an event like this that athletes like Andrew stamell and Jake Douglas are going to have absolutely no problem at all with that 102 kilo 225b front spot and Super Dad aan Cordon 28th birthday today what a way to celebrate your birthday we’re going to do an absolute truckload of Fitness for Nathan who trained out of CrossFit Urban energy only about 45 minutes south of where we are here so you sort of in that two minds do you stay at home and have the Comforts of home and cooking meals and that sort of stuff in your own bed or do you minimize that travel and stay up here speaking of travel we’ got three athletes traveling to that barbell for the end of the third [Music] round those bars are [Applause] moving for round three looking very smooth on the front getting midline staying nice and tight elbows [Music] [Applause] [Music] High Riley Martin Andrew sell and Jake Douglas your top three Nathan Cordon the black he’s now in fifth with Johan robberts moving into fourth [Music] [Music] it’s around this set of double unders that we’re going to start to see the fatig kick in and who can hold on to their 100 that heart rate now I reckon it is peing at around 200 ft for these athletes but the good thing with these athletes is they’re so conditioned they’ll Peak and then they get a break when they go to the tot bar and they can drop it rapidly now we’re normally used to seeing Andrew sell with a massive smile on his face I haven’t seen a smile just yet he started with one but it’s gone from his face I think the focus is a lot more and what we saw last week at the Franks throw down the Europe p and semi-final athletes really starting to struggle on the the 500 double unders they need to get to a great number and something that’s really going to test these [Applause] [Music] athletes unlock 15% of your order at Northerns spirit-crushing [Applause] [Music] no rep from Riley Martin that is not what you want you don’t want to be doing any more work as Andrew sell gets the the strut on hey J Douglas I see you but I’m going to hit the barbell first and Andrew sell’s transitions have been so smooth he hasn’t been running in between but he’s been walking within 10 and kicks it straight up round four Andrew sell with those back injuries at Hamp him last season he’s looking in great Nick he is as is Jake Douglas under this barbell Jake really needing a nice strong finish in this event after the first one yesterday the Jake cycle rate just that little bit [Applause] [Music] quicker I wonder who’s got more tattoos Jake’s got a absolute bucket load on the left Andrew’s catching up Andrew needs to cover his back black Jake now and I think they’re about [Applause] even oh your bodies a canvas and in the looking at Jake Douglas it’s a massive canvas the games qualifier from last year and those legs not just getting as high as Jake wants them to sell continuing on sble missing in the background now Jake Douglas was really smart then he missed a double under but he took a second took a breath before he picked it up again to see if he can get through a nice clean set Yan Roberts now moving into third position at the far left of your screen Riley Martin starting his double unders for his Fifth and final stats 18-minute time cap athletes on definitely not going to need the full 18 in Heat number one Andrew s’s partner sasu at the back here she’s looking way nervous than he [Music] [Applause] [Music] is Jake Douglas off the double unders first and on his toad toar [Applause] Jake Douglas now with that massive Kip so we know we’re getting to the end it looks like he’s going to try and hold on five to go is he going un broken oh you’ve got to don’t you oh and he has ah the crowd this is what they’ve come to see early on this morning day two of competition saan Pro is going to light up across the day but what a [Applause] start and the man from snake CrossFit in Tamworth those shoulders are perfect sh for you can hear it oh it is hurting but the man and hearts back to you buddy 1320 what a start for Jake Douglas a little slow out of the blocks but wow didn’t he come home sble now it’s his turn for 10 Andrew sell holding on to Second Place finish in the heat he’s got to hold on to this barbell oh the effort I love that love that you can hear the effort you get to see it look we said at the start it’s not a heavy bar but now it is sell sub [Applause] 14 Johan Robertson as well so he has sped up in his last couple of rounds Riley Martin about to step over the line now Nathan Cordon the last 10 Reps for him plenty of time still on the cap no doubt why foran his four-year-old boy Cooper 8 month old Alia will be watching on come on dad you’ve got this and looks a lot more calm composing the first four competitors we’ve seen come over the [Applause] line Nathan Cordon coming over with three minutes left on our time [Music] cap Connor Smith cross it chasing better inwa making easy work this last set of front squats semi final the bo as [Applause] [Music] Welling 31st in the open and our final two minutes coming [Music] up Max Le’s our final competitor the 22-year-old from Crosset wenong he would have been loving it if the Regionals was back in wenong he’s had to come all the way up to Queensland also Debon here at the Tan Pro left his job start of the year six years as a carpenter to pursue the CrossFit dream been watching for the last three years here in person he’s sick of it I want a piece of [Applause] that and he’s moving that barbell very easily for the fifth round in front squat maxle finishing up well under time cap as well seen that time cap be very testy for a number of athletes yesterday not so much this morning Jake Douglas what a performance that’s a performance I’m sure that Jake Douglas woke up this morning knowing that he needed to give if he wants to have a crack at that fourth games ticket so you think about individual events over the three days one yesterday two today three tomorrow there is a lot of points still out on the competition foror 500 in fact you score 500 points you’re well and truly going to the game that’s right and over the years we have seen it happen so Never Say Never And you know Jake Douglas all that experience he made it there last year I think if anyone was to do it he could definitely do it Andrew stample the early leader in the heat that Jake Douglas just that last round able to make it through those double unders and onto an unbroken set of toast to bar and he just ran away with it win to Jake [Music] [Applause] Douglas you can hear the effort I love seeing the effort but been nobody hear it on camera as well Douglas sell and Roberts your top three from heat one again oh you don’t to put the bar down 10 reps it’s so close yet it’s so far away having to pick it up again would be even more painful holding on to it wouldn’t it what and we paint the pro pink day two of competition here for the Tan Pro Pat rafter Arena it is going to be chocka block here the crowd really filling in and and what started off as something so simple has grown over the years and we remember Hannah Clark today someone you competed with back in the day in trampolining our results for Heat number one the top three Riley Martin Nathan Cordon wrapping up got top five and as Bella mentioned earlier Zack Thomas unfortunately withdrawing from competition let’s hope Zach is healing up well and we get to see him over the next couple of days for your official results here to games.crossfit.com aslet enter the arena ladies and gentlemen eight number two hitting the floor and they’ve been sitting in the Corral going oh damn it that’s what it looks and feels like no doubt they would have done their homework last week they would have heard the grunting on that last round front squ from the previous and plenty of pink shirts for these athletes coming out as well individual event number two 100 double unders 20 tot bar 10 front squats five groeling rounds 225 lb it’s about 102.5 kilos of an 18-minute time cap Young Jack Laker competition here last year part of that team from he Tamaki Renegades now living in the Middle East go rock steps to success unbroken double unders and hold on to that [Music] barbell look I don’t know if anyone from the last Heat had the intention of going unbroken on the double unders and that the fatigue got to them but I tell you what if we get athletes going unbroken on those double unders and they can still hold on to that bar they’re going to get themselves well ahead ISAC Newman he’s got some work to do today Adam man the youngster Toby Crouch Dary Hancock Al Lane assignments for Heat number two Ryan malany team competition here last year as well the number of athletes on the floor they’ experienced the vibe the feeling they know what it is to feel and be on this competition floor and throw down with the best in the oceani region and once athletes get a taste of what the Toran Pro competition floor is like they always want to come back I just talking to Ben fer who’s sitting up next to us earlier this morning and he said you just can’t explain to to people what the feeling is like on the floor unless you have been out there and you’re in the middle of it and he just goes it is just so engulfing and for people around the world that wouldn’t be familiar with Pat rafter Arena it’s a tennis stadium so the crowd is on top of the floor so by Saturday and Sunday night when it is full in here it is so loud Tim Davis from blueprint CrossFit all the way in wora in the UK he’s probably traveled the furthest out of anyone here for more on that let’s head down to Bella Martin Tim Davis is absolutely one of the athletes that traveled the furthest something that I was excited to see he trains out there in the UK with Amy Kringle who just punched her games ticket for the first time so you know he’s got to be inspired and excited hopefully he’s leaning on that confidence from their training together this weekend I’ll tell you who also traveled far it’s going to be Jack lacer who lives in Abu Dhabi his coach Elliot Simmons also just qualified for the game so two athletes that I think are going to be absolutely inspired and encouraged going into day two Jack said he was feeling pretty nervous during quarterfinals and he couldn’t manage his nerves enough to eat food couldn’t keep anything down if you’re nervous doing quarterfinals at your own gym I can imagine the nerves competing here on the floor at Pat rafter hopefully he can kind of manage that a little bit this weekend we’ll see how it goes for him it’s only event number two but I’m excited for these two guys B couldn’t agree more Jack with all that experience with East Tamaki he was the captain last year of the East Tamaki Renegades team moves to the Middle East and has got some good training buddies including Michael midi who’s coming up in a later heat one of our original crew from 2014 but something you don’t really think about is athletes who have moved somewhere else and then have to come back and we’ve seen that over the years with Tia and Ellie coming back into female competition we don’t see it so much for the miles we have this year no we don’t and I think what a lot of people who might not be familiar with this level of athletic performance is traveling on the body it is so hard it’s hard on your nervous system your sleep gets disrupted your Mobility from the plane your food everything changes so is a big factor in performance and hats off to anyone who has to do it because it is [Applause] hard time to beat from Europe 1123 old this up to his old tricks again older superni round number one that’s sort of feeling out round and now split time to beat from Jake Douglas from round one 446 we saw in heat one Andrew sell go out with an early Heat lead but I think Jake Douglas just stuck behind him that little bit kept a little bit in the back and he was able to hold on to those unbroken toes of bar in the end so we’ll see if any of this he learned from Jake Douglas so Jack ler only one second behind that split time from round one from Jake Douglas coming in at 206 great battle with him and Isaac Newman Lanes two and three as they come down atoran Pro floor Toby Crouch Lane five your top three Jack looking really good to not one of the tallest athletes in the field so that range of movement is going to be lessened and he’s spending no time in the bottom of that squat he’s little bit of a bounce out using that explosiveness the legs don’t need to be any more fatigued and they’re already going to be don’t spend too long in the bottom of that squat [Music] Isaac Newman now Toby crouch in the second Jack taking a little bit of extra time and the good thing is when you have training buddies that are also competing in the same event and the same division as you you can work with them cuz obviously they’re training buddies so they’re going to be wanting the best out of you they’re not really competing against you and I’m sure they would have practiced it as well at home see where they both could do it definitely helps having someone to Pace [Applause] against Jack Bot on the screen youngster 21 years of age born in Oakland and now resides in Abu Dhabi as Bella mention though Elliot Simmons punching his ticket last week as part of the Ora team from walleye how that no pressure but your coach makes the games and he has doesn’t have to say anything and throws the gauntlet down come on it’s your turn now so he finished the open in first ISAC Newman was great last year Jim hustle and harvest over there in Western [Applause] Australia finished eight here last year and some of the athletes we’ve seen yesterday a little bit of a slow start not what we used to seeing but a number of people we’ve spoken to this morning have said they didn’t realize how grueling yesterday was going to be on them even though it was only one event for the day it was such a big event though a lot of running 4 km of running and 50 cleaning jerks and for the men it was 85 kilos 185 lb 50 of those those hamstrings be tight this morning not worrying Isaac Newman much at all he’s done everything previously football Athletics volleyball surfing probably why he’s so well-rounded at Crossfit because he’s tried all these different sports and he’s got a basis for all of them comes into this and it’s something very similar except no water to paddle in unless you’re outside Pat rafter Arena where there’s plenty of water little bit of rain here this morning beautiful day here yesterday and some great shots from our team and unlock 15% of your order at Northerns use the code CrossFit semifinals that you check out I’ve been doing this a long time pip and I have to say that our crew here yesterday punched out some of the best footage I have ever seen seen at a regional or semi-final ever the sun setting over Pat rafter yesterday with the blue neon I hope they just rinse and repeat that forever it was awesome oh I have to agree and no it was not Photoshop that was real zero filters here we don’t use that stuff down here in the Oceania region as our top three now four with Darcy hanock at the top of screen getting to work throws the Rope down in disgust there you go 100 doubles let split time for this one for Jake Douglas 1031 so ISAC in a pretty good position to get under that time [Applause] Isaac Newman with a big break on those toes to Bar leaving it open the Toby Crouch to jump [Applause] on Toby having the advantage of probably knowing what his brother and what mty St were going to do for this one well Toby Crouch having a chat to him in the last couple of weeks he goes I’m not like fullblown CrossFit he just trains hard and the rewards are obvious because he’s here and you mention it you see your brother do all this amazing stuff and does it rub off a little obviously a bit of genetics at play there if you do just a bit of CrossFit and you end up with the Tan Pro and your brother’s J Crouch I’d say that family’s got some good jeans on their side and if I’m Dasher Darren Crouch is taking full credit for all of it no doubt imagine that both your boys here on the competition [Applause] floor Newman heading back touch slower than Jake Douglas so good news for Jake Douglas as we hit 11 minutes seven left on our [Music] [Applause] cap for athletes that are on the hunt for that games ticket that find themselves in that first heat of the day on a Saturday morning put up a time to beat and you are just hoping that it stands as long as possible to grab those points and Jake Douglas would be doing that right now Adam man taking a deep breath it’s Toby Crouch top of screen with no shirt getting to work Isaac Newman your leader for Heat number two the second event for the individuals this morning it’s about a 30 second gap between Newman and Crouch and about another 30 packs of Jack [Applause] Laker talk me through you are 12 minutes deep of an event that has sent your heart rate and your breathing to another level how do you compose and bring it down well right there in transitions is where you really want to bring it back down you can see that the athletes are not in a hurry to get to the next thing but they’re jumping straight up it’s on those walks the transition’s not very long though no it’s we’ve got about 5 Seconds between rope and double under the good news is the barbell is rolling down the floor so you can actually walk down to the barbell that’s right but that’s what CrossFit athletes are so good at is being able to bring that heart rate down bit really quickly and handle it again when it goes back up again really quickly Newman a big [Applause] chunk out of the way a few reps now to go oh less than five now it’s got to be close he’s got to be one or two reps away oh it was one I knew it was close and Newman oh he getting a little bit of a hustle on obviously got a little bit a little bit in the tank enough to get these 10 reps done and’s his again every rep he’s done he’s caught and stepped back maybe it’s not as heavy as he thinks it is anticipating that leg fatigue I think under the bar no problem at all with the weight [Applause] Newman just under that 14 minute Mark so it will be faster than Andrew sell but not Faster Than Jake Douglas who is still your leader after two Heats now that time will stuck up that time to beat worldwide all the supernick at 1123 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Toby [Applause] Crouch Debbie ton at the Tan Pro and now he is over the line great second place for him in Heat number two at about 1440 all unofficial times of course heads of GameStop crossfit.com for all your offical results check out what’s happening at the West Coast Classic as well the other event that’s going on this weekend Oh composure Jack wonderful we love to see so much composure on our [Applause] youngsters it means they’re being taught very well Jack ler the Kiwi living in the Middle East finishing up Dy [Applause] Hancock Dy hanok in about 1527 about 10 seconds slower Jack ler top four over the line there a bit of daylight now Ry malaney bit of a walk around trying to find his call because it’s been shredded out there Tim Davis adamany Harrison [Applause] Ry ran M from Crossfit generates competed here last year with Team CrossFit Peak [Applause] Blackland Harrison rolling now South Australian Hilltop crossfits again another of those young athletes with a great squat rack position oh beautiful front squat position those elbows are not budging 22 more

he’s going to have to Sprint over this line oh and sneaks it in Tim Davis 10 rep short of [Applause] finishing Tim Davis one of the tallest athletes here but it was a man from the West who showed us lashly what he’s capable of and I cannot wait to see what he can do when the snatches come up later on in competition but what a great performance from Heat number two Heat number two of the men Isaac Newman strong from start to finish and youngster lacer wow front squat string but Isaac Newman just able to keep his composure on those double unders and Toes bar a little bit better just cutting down that rest time Toby crouches well with a great performance he’s learn some consistency from Brother Jay you don’t have to win you need a place high and things are going to look after themselves strategic breaks were all important for our top three human loves squatting under a heavy barbell it wasn’t enough to beat he One winner Jake Douglas but he’ll be happy with that on a Saturday morning at the Toran Pro official results Newman in 1354 is about 30 seconds just over 30 seconds slower than Jake Douglas from the previous heat Toby crutch Jack Laker not a bad result either from youngster Harrison relly from Adelaide e Heat number three coming onto the competition floor and yes we have fire maidi he’s going to bring some of that fire as well one of his training buddies Jack Laker in the previous heat proving what can be done look how these athletes are throwing down Jeremy Aus pit Malone and Bella Martin with you on a wonderful pink day here Saturday at the Tan Pro kicking things off with event number two five rounds of 100 double unders 20 totto bar 10 front squats at 102.5 kilos or 225 lb and an 18-minute time cap Tim Davis the only one not to meet the requirements so far this morning and this will be an interesting Heat a good mix of Youth and experience again a good Shuffle Up from yesterday’s event number one and now gock steps to success unbroken double Anders and hold on to that barbell I haven’t seen too many people know Johan Roberts broke up one of his sets of the squats pit number one but I think you just have to push yourself seen the work that both Jake Douglas and Andrew sell did in Heat number one to get there Elena Simons for Heat number three five Heats of individuals this morning and Lin Park let’s hope he had enough time to get scraped off the floor yesterday after event number one another gentleman who’s traveled a fairway Jake Hendry in this heat who excelled yesterday in his Heats Cameron gray the West Australian there’s lucky Park he’s looking a lot better than he did yesterday it’s almost a smile take Henry in that black shirt b o Brian Johan vanil our all competitor Michael midi one of our 2014 crew 15 of them in the field here at the Tan Pro for 2024 amazing statistic [Music] way for Heat number three and if you’re going to learn anything pip from this event it’s probably going to be the double unders that’s right the double unders is where we’re seeing a lot of the fatigue really hitting in lots of trip UPS around that round three mark for the first 100 yep no problem let’s get in second one’s probably not too bad either and then things start to get a little skewed once your legs start kicking in from those 10 front squats jumping not so [Music] easy he Tangi Curtis oh wow the entire field hitting the pull rig within seconds of each other and travel possibly hampering Tim Davis in the previous H another athlete who has traveled a fairway and one of our older crew Michael MAA more on that let’s hit and to Bella one of the older athletes in the group he’s not the oldest I’d say it’s fun to see Michael midi and Johan vanil next to each other Michael you said it was one of our 2014 athletes that means he’s been competing for at least 10 years he went team at the games in 2022 he’s been to Regionals when we called it regionals five times here he is on the floor competing and now what we’re calling it semifinals I think it’s really exciting to see some of these honestly CrossFit Legends competing against the rookies a lot of times especially in a field like this everyone’s focused on those rookies and their upand comers but you know what it’s the people that have been around for a while that know how to compete and know how to throw down here so I’m excited to see some of those guys like Michael midi and Johan benel competing next to each other on the floor with the younger guys uh I agree bellerin is an athlete that was there in 2014 with them it is so impressive that they are still here because I’ve got fomo but I tell you why I couldn’t do it I couldn’t do it either that’s why I’m on this side of the microphone pep I stay over here why do you think I’ve been doing this for so long there’s something in this we do Fitness for time for fun they do it for competition and lucky Park chasing down our leader Bailey obrien B o’ Brant had a very steady progression of the last couple of years Castle Hill North suburbs of Sydney another one of those Wong gong people but so many Woolen gong based people Bailey started in Wen gong gong have a big CrossFit community gee I wonder why but we mov down so Wen gong from Sydney 2012 we moved to back to Sydney in 2018 then we move up here to the Tan Pro Cameron gray on the left locky Park in the middle Jake Hendry on the rights Cameron gray the brains of the outfits very similar to cat Owen the female division analyzes everything and when I mean everything it’s only 22 but he will sit there and will analyze the hell out of every stat he’s got so X shot putter a discus thrower Cameron gray gives that up runs a bit across crun then comes back with some heavy barbells B O’Brien to the far right Your Leader Loy Park those blonde locks CrossFit scone CrossFit 2337 in scone South Wales Cameron gray your top three O’Brien very [Music] composed little bit slower we might be a little bit I mean a couple of seconds slower than Jake Douglas’s first split time correction second split [Music] [Music] time now lucky Park wasn’t looking too good after event one yesterday but I tell you what he’s bounced back well he’s looking very comfortable on those double Anders B O’Brien underway with third round Defense number two a Miss for him and unlock 15% off your order at northern.com use the code CrossFit semifinals at your checkout Mrs coming a plenty now a little bit earlier than we’ve seen from heat 1 and [Applause] two seeing athletes breaking up those double unders early in hit [Music] three just about 6 and 1/2 minutes into the 18-minute time [Music] cap he got the Brian with a beautiful big Kip on the toes to Bar it’s all went through that we got short Kips we’ve got strict tow to bar and we’re getting that big hit we’re starting to see more and more in round number five benefits well’ Brian has really nice straight legs and a nice big swing out and he’s obviously got good hamstring Mobility because he’s able to touch his toes to that bar without having to bend at the knees too much you see locky Park in the background was just bending his knees that bit more taller [Music] athlete Bailey O’Brien a deep breath before he goes Cameron gray also another one of those taller athletes Jake Henry tall Johan benzil tall so here’s something that they’ve had some go away and practice not sure they would have known what the height of the pull-up bar was going to be [Music] [Applause] you can see in the background Yan bz feet are scraping the ground at the bottom of each swing but you’ve also got to think they have to spend less time jumping to the bar they can just reach up and grab it each time O’Brien finishing up with the round Mai moving into third position [Music] Brian [Music] [Applause] first Cameron gray finishing up roughly the same time and midi is working his way back to round number [Music] four Jake Douglas’s time still standing in this say heat three two Heats to come we got back to Jake Douglas in round number one sorry Heat number one we thought it might have been a little bit slow out of the blocks but the pacing was perfect I mean so far we 9 minutes into the 18 minute cap there’s still Fair distance to go but Jake Douglas may have gamed it really smart [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Brian still looking pretty composed let’s see what this toad bar set looks like and how many we get through the kip doesn’t look too big at the moment but the requirements of the toad to Bar feet must come behind the plane of the bar obviously two toes hitting at the the same time but as fatigue really starts to kick in the feet go back even further each time which is not just adding range of movement it’s also adding [Music] time as you can see O’Brien moving though he’s got such great Mobility he’s not having to work really hard to get his toes to that bar he’s really using that Kip and nice great legs he’s not overusing a kick at the Ben [Applause] me he’s looking very composed o’ Brian strategically placing that block of chalk in the middle of the Arena just those little 1centers that you get experience doing every time you compete and I know he’s probably done in the past where you go through and you go gee I wish I had some chalk right now I’m sure you’ve done the same oh every little bit [Music] [Applause] counts so Brian getting to work [Applause] well about 20 seconds slower than Jake Douglas so very respective time from Bailey O’Brien he got Tangi Curtis jumping ahead now of where Cameron gray is so he will move into third position behind MC who’s at the top of screen in the pink [Applause] shirt Rocky park now moving down the [Music] floor saw it yesterday in event one for locky Park started off well Wheels start to fall off towards the end luy park with that great aerobic capacity just saw under the barbell yesterday in event one that fatig hit on the weight bit of the same thing happening this morning under the front squat he’s not missing any reps but that fatigue is really setting in but o Brian still looking so composed I saw him competing a couple of weeks back in Sydney part of a team and just the same composure back then as he’s got now and I think that’s something he’s probably going away going you know what I’m going to be under a lot of pressure coming into an event like this that’s something I’m going to work on it’s also something about great movers athletes that make hard things look Easy by their range of motion and the way that they move he’s one of those athletes O’Brien owns a bayfit number of athletes here this weekend Under the [Applause] Umbrella good battle between our two kiwis hio Tangi Curtis and Michael [Music] midi but it is biley O’Brien out in front midi now moving to the toad bar for the final time can you roll back the clock with 10 years experience and take this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] out O’Brien taking a break only five to [Applause] go Douglas’s time intact for another heat he’s got to be licking his lips going yes this is the start I wanted Brian now with 10 rips to [Applause] go hio Tangi Curtis trying to catch Mai the book ends the two kiwis Mai back left so back right in the pink coming forward trying to catch our leader for Heat number three looking strong Bailey [Music] O’Brien and enough to get done I don’t think he had too much Sprint over that Finish Line heo looks like he is going to be going faster than Mai hiiki Curtis oh too easy competing at the CrossFit Games as a teenager twice 29 in the 145 and 21 in the 1617 I love the crossover front squat hold his grip’s gone from the toes to bar so just cross those hands over but a great strategy has great has anyone else thought about that maybe not midi is’s all done the old dog still got [Applause] [Music] it Cameron gray Nick Fuentes the left who’s around behind oh the legs the lactate has entered the conversation oh yeah that was almost a squeak wasn’t it we’ll call him the squeaker Rocky Park I love how we can see the effort we can hear the effort and it’s just another grueling test for these athletes Rocky Park one of their taller athletes 6’2 that’s a long way to squat he just gets in there gets it done though doesn’t he 20 years of age massive future just over 90 seconds left now locky park talk about comeback it’s a comeback from absolutely draining the tank yesterday and he had nothing left we could physically see how hard he works to then back it up the next morning luck he’s only 20 then so how do you recover knowing that you’ve got a late heat you go in you’ve pretty much decimated your nervous system as well how do you then recover to pull it back to be the first heat today oh combination of things Jeremy I’d say he would have gone and utilized the great recovery they got going on downstairs lots of food lots of sleep [Music] Johan vanil two time CrossFit Games Team competitor CrossFit Urban energy and our oldest in the fields funny that our oldest and youngest are both called Johan one’s a Ki one’s a South African former water polo player as well Joan vanil another one from the go Coast which is only 45 minutes south of where we are right now and that is going to be all Hendry and Nick Fuentes our final two athletes not going to have enough [Applause] time and I wouldn’t be rushing Jake Hendry you can save your legs from 10 heavy front squats the spoils go to Bailey O’Brien castal Hill in [Applause] Sydney I love the spring in the step from the people who take out the heat the people who don’t take out the heat they’re hurting a fair bit a taking a heat is a good feeling barely O’Brien though such a smooth style from start to finish he just moves so well so effortlessly it’s a very grueling event on the lungs the legs and the grip lucky Park also in there 20-year-old giving it a good [Applause] crack but no one could touch O’Brien those early sets of toes toar for o Brian just really set him apart from the [Applause] pack but Jake Douglas from Heat number one his time still stands after three Heats that’s the impressive thing with Jake Douglas never dis count him gu he had to make a move and he’s done that so far from heat 1 but heat three official results of Brian in 1419 hio Tangi Curtis what a comeback and paced it very well 1436 and second and Mardi another kiwi and our old Brigade from 2014 just over that 15minute Mark hry po unable to get the job done under the 18-minute time cap three Heats done two Heats to come finish off individual event number two for the morning here day two at the Tan Pro where we’re painting the pro pink and plenty of pink about in the crowd today the competitors are well as well our m sees everybody’s wearing Pig even us second to last Heats hitting the floor now even the floor looks [Applause] pink and I love a time when athletes call their shot deliver and then make everyone Chase saw that from Ricky Gard we’re going to see it in Heat number four here event two five rounds of time of 100 double unders 20 todar and 10 front squats 102.5 kilo for 225 lbs 18 minute time cap Jake Henry and Nick Fuentes just couldn’t get there in the previous seat Tim Davis the heat before but everyone else under so far now go rock steps to success unbroken double unders and hold on to the barbell when you say that you just make it sound so easy when you were competing back in the day made the CrossFit Games it wasn’t that easy was it not at all and it never goes to plan so talk to me about the pressure you have as an athlete trying to make the CrossFit Games there’s so many factors that come into it you know what physical shape are you in but also what mental shape are you in are you an athlete that gets rattled when things don’t go your way and you have to chase as we’re seeing Jake Douglas has done this morning putting up the time to beat in Heat number one he’s got some chasing to do today are you an athlete that can handle that or you an athlete that gets rattled by that our L assments for our second last Heat of the individual men Ben Fowler spoke to him this morning he said not a bad result from yesterday cuz he doesn’t like running all that much mcmah was exceptional with his performance don’t discount shy as well who is going to be making some moves in this one as is the man on screen will Carney just missed qualification of the Crosset games last year and he was first in here this morning he was in here very early getting ready and he said today’s the day to move look here’s one of the names on our mind for that fourth spot games [Music] ticket he’s also got a bit of work to do today but I think he’s capable oh we talk about capability right across this field there’s a number of experienced competitors some young competitors as well and one of the youngsters from Over the ditch that we have enjoyed watching yesterday and someone who’s going to be on the ground here for a very long time is Dante kangara more on that let’s head down to Bella Dante kangara has become one of my quick and easy favorites in the field I’ve seen him competing a lot recently at some functional fitness competitions he was at down under and he continues to impress me he’s strong he’s fast and I tell you what watching him yesterday in the run I wasn’t sure what to expect a big guy like him you never know how he’s going to hold up against an 800 me to run with that gradient but he held his own I’m excited to see him in this heat and he’s not alone though so he’s one of those rookies that I’m excited to watch but he’s also got Ben in the heat with him an absolute Legend and he came in fourth in our quarter finals coming in so you know he’s ready to throw down he’s got that games experience if Dante is going to learn from anybody it’s going to be Ben Fowler kangara doing well in Regional competition New Zealand taking out the New Zealand Nationals last year fifth place in the open for 2024 for the entire country of New Zealand and surprisingly his debut here and he’s the third to move the three kiwis Ben F step mfi and Dante kangara are your top three heading into round number two time pretty spot on to where Jake Douglas was Dante absolute massive units almost dwarfing Luke mcmah in the next Lane Ben Fowler very famous Fowler family from New zealands South Island down in choss church fortunately for younger brother Tim we got some really bad news for Tim we’ve done more damage to that knee than we initially thought [Music] [Applause] [Music] yesterday we’ll get more on that once we get to team competition later on today Ben was saying earlier this one is really going to suit him and one of the bigger athletes but what company to be in we’ve got BFI on one side and kangara two lanes away and the three kiwis really going for it there’s definitely an advantage to have your competitors right next to you so you know where they are but I tell you what will Carney over in sneaky Lane number one has that to his Advantage as well he he is sneaking up fourth behind those three new zealanders and I’m going to keep my eye on him oh we know what will carne is capable of I know Ben Fowler has had experience after experience CrossFit Games as part of CrossFit selwin few little injuries to deal with bar squatting does not even seem to be phasing him at all Ben f with the jog on early on but de Coy shot earlier you finished the quarterfinals in fourth coming into this does that put a Target on your back or do you want to come in as a dark horse if you’re looking for a game TI get being in that top heat very important as we’ve seen in previous years though you can do it from the other Heats we’ve seen it over and over again but being in that top heat is really where you want to be so you know where all your top competitors are and your times aren’t being [Music] [Applause] chased an some impressive performances last year B trains out across with C in Christ Church that Mayhem ban I know a lot of the Mayhem crew tuning in gundo big good day to you I know you are tuning in now I’m already seeing a pace change in this heat from the previous Heats we’re getting much bigger chunks of double unders done all these athletes are holding on to these 100 I was chatting to Mom Linda yesterday she was a bit annoyed she’s going okay we’ve got Jay we’ve got Ricky we’ve got Bailey La no one’s talking about Ben as a fourth place qualifier everyone’s talking about everyone else except for Ben and I went don’t be surprised if he gets one of those top four spots going to the CrossFit Games as an individual because he’s got the experience he’s got the skills and he’s got the capacity to be able to get there and he’s showing us exactly why right now you’re doing a faster split time that a game’s qualified from last year you were going great guns Dante kangara pulling up alongside Ben fer moving into second now split time 728 from Jake Douglas these boys are going to smash that and we just spoke about having a Chase before and that is the hard part of being in the earlier Heats when you’re a games Contender as you put up that time to beat and it gets beat Dante kangara to the right of screen almost giving himself a little bit of extra rest at the top of the movement with his squat he’s now in the lead kangara leading Ben F Sten mfi and

harder because you know you’re so far away from finishing 50 g you hey I know this is the last set mentally it’s easier fourth you can still have that strategic break there we go learning something every day the whole thing’s hard for you though Jeremy let’s be real Valor finishing up 20 reps on the Toto bar [Music] [Applause] so Dante kangara to the far right now falling behind a little bit

semi-finals scan the QR code on the screen for chance to win CrossFit World Tour visiting gyms right around the globe terms of conditions apply as we’ve seen previous Heats everything pretty tight the first round and then the separation comes Luke deong showing us in the previous heat you do not need to be leading for about 4 and 3/4 rounds you can be consistent with those rest times on the double unders and the toes to Bar you can really sneak your way up each round I don’t think we’re going to see much resting in this heat [Applause] though Forte mixing it with the Young Guns hand Jes hard Graves Lane number one newcomer to Pro individual as Jay Crouch closely followed by Pete Ellis closely followed by Ricky garat Ricky came out of the gates yesterday I wanted to scare the opposition I think he scared the entire world being so far ahead of Jay Crouch and then Jay being so far ahead of Bailey Bailey being so far ahead of everyone else he just goes to show what sort of level these competitors are on Run Court a little bit different to the one we’ve seen in the Far East Throwdown the French Throwdown and also the West Coast Classic and the incline we had on our run yesterday really started to hamper the hamstrings of the athletes [Music] J Crouch 2 seconds under the split time of Ben Fowler Jay missing with five [Applause] remaining Jay done Ricky D now Ricky in the second ahead of Pete Ellis [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Jay Crouch with a strategic break Ricky Gard holds on you know how good J Crouch is this is very open ES a type of event Jay will be sitting there going okay Ricky you can have your time in the sun yesterday now it’s mine that’s right and we said it yesterday Jay Crouch knows how to place high in every event that’s why he won Victorian Pro two years in a row now the double unders for this heat of men is really going to come down to accuracy under fatigue if they’ve got strategic break stick to those and try not to miss any wasn’t that the goal with everything really competition not just in CrossFit competition cross with competition worldwide the less mistakes the less misses increase your efficiency things are going to go a lot better for you great battle with our top four J CR Ricky garard Bailey Martin Pete Ellis are they going to be your top four qualifiers at the end of tomorrow all four have been

code CrossFit semi-finals at your checkout and Jak Crouch ahead of that split Time by oldis upix from last week we’re going to see another event record fall we saw two fall yesterday in team competition subsequently they have been beaten at the West Coast Classic but we held on him for a little [Music] bit very hard to compare obviously region per region especially with the run the world is 1123 I like Jay’s position s to Bar just so simple easy he’s not overexerting himself either and now putting a little bit of distance between himself and Ricky gard and keeping those transitions bar he flew off that bar straight into a jog picked the bar straight up I love that little pop at the top for jakay he’s not spending too much time holding on to the B so time and attention something he doesn’t have to deal [Applause] with one Crouch two Gard three battle between Martin and [Music] Ellis Martin just that bit faster on his front squats out of the bottom than [Applause] Alice you find the opposite will be happening from yesterday Ricky gets out of this massive lead Jay goes okay I’m not going to chase you down it’s three points end of the weekend it’s probably not going to matter that much Ricky might be doing the same just now okay Jay go for this one I’m happy with second three points again they’re going to be level pegging after two events we back to square again I don’t think Ricky’s going to be happy with second he might not have a choice Jay’s looking in great Nick I say that as he misses his double Bailey Martin Pete Ellis your top four Ricky having a break Jay last five again the transition between rope and to bar is a lot different between toar and barbell the bar getting further away each time as they roll down the [Applause] floor what I like about Jay Crouch is cycle time as he’s wasting no time with time under tension kicks those legs fast same as we’re seeing on his front squats in and out fast hustle up is the official eke Keeper of the CrossFit semifinals scan the QR code on the screen a chance to win CrossFit World Tour visiting CrossFit Gyms right around the globe terms and conditions apply the distance now between J Crouch and Ricky Gat is 32 seconds so Jay making a massive move and looks as though he’s starting to speed up how many reps can he get now between now and when Ricky gets to the barbell he could get all 10 done the prince of the Pacific is going nowhere Bailey Martin jumping in second now but it is the J Crow show Bailey with a spring in his step as [Applause] well three absolute competitors in the Oceania and also World stage of the CrossFit games can we add Pete Ellis to that list over the weekend Pete on the right hand hand side currently in fourth Jay Crouch at the back in Center leading the charge over biley Martin and look Bailey Martin is worth mentioning Bailey Martin in his games debut had a 12th Place [Applause] finish not too shabby not too shabby at all CrossFit games Teenage competitor gets his first shot last year and again just one of those performances that we saw last year that was just consistent Jake Crouch now 8 seconds ahead of the fastest time we have seen over two weeks of competition so far all the superni with that record 1123 can J Crouch come storming home and take that event record [Music] CH starting to speed up that Kip a little bit more spice to it Bailey Martin Jay having a look see what Bailey’s up to the CR urging Jay to get back on the bar can Pete Ellis start doing some damage to Ricky gat J Crouch here we go as we hit the 11 minute Mark 23 seconds is all that stands between Jay Crouch at an event record we’re going to see another one tumble here at the Oceania region J Crouch with less than five 1123 out time for beat Crouch he’s done it 1121 unofficial time in a Ben record here at the oion and the prince back on top once [Applause] again Bailey Martin seconds away this will be a great result for Bailey Martin and with that result J CR will find himself on top of the leaderboard as Pete Ellis starts to move and he’s cycling faster than Ricky Gat is Pete wson don’t if he’s nding to the crowd or just noding Peter Ellis has also emptied the tank as G finishes in four which will probably keep him in second position on the leader board P Ellis wow wow those front squats what a monster [Music] effort that is how you finish an event at the Tor Pro we talk about empathy and sympathy I actually don’t know what that feels like but it doesn’t look good Pete Ellis what a performance Monahan done with four one to go still four athletes on our floor Zan Shel Hy will be next to finish our Graves and forte in Lanes one and two we’ll still have time to get this done I can’t believe the performance pet Ellis just put out that Ricky sented too hard yesterday not have enough for today he will never know but that event number two had Jay’s name written all over it Shel Hy 1340 very respectable time that’ll be top 10 we’ve still got over four minutes left still Jay Crouch going to see his first coach Rob [Applause] Forte and this still won’t be a bad time from Rob Forte still got it oh 37 years of age so we had young son Ryan in hospital during the week with C which is a coughing disease that children sometimes get so he spent a lot of time in hospital in preparation for this offense not the ideal preparation but the old boy he’s still there [Music] har Graves Monahan our book ends and our fifth and final [Music] Heats so Melbourne Bas for most of his life just moving up to the goal Coast 2023 [Applause] [Music] as so does Pete see for children and both adults with disability to one of those special people in the world James Hargraves he’s one of those weird people as well he’s only had cold shs for the last 5 years 5 years of cold showers in Melbourne of all play no wonder he moved to the go [Music] Coast a Grace seems like he’s under pressure to finish he’s still got two minutes to get this [Applause] done that’s the difference between these top athletes on the floor and yourself Jeremy they want to get done as quick as they can and you want to use out the entire time C correct James’s parents watching on from Boston Massachusetts can’t be here unfortunately so big shout out to his mom and dad he’s got two reps to go Jim in the gym on [Applause] Instagram and Monahan getting to work [Music] now last rep James hard Graves and listen to what Rob for says go that way bonan now the last couple of reps he will be finished on the time cap as [Applause] well on hand had such a great finish in event one yesterday I think those hammies are still feeling it that stings those legs have got to be hurting Monahan finishes well under time cap as well but the man of the moment J Crouch the second career semi-final event win tying with partner MD for two as well how cute it’s so good but what we expect from Jak Crouch consistency over the weekend and I’m sure we got it Pete Ellis was the one to jump for me that was an impressive performance and the man that keeps on keeping on Rob Forte he just belongs here on the competition floor doesn’t he one hand’s going to stay on the floor for a little bit longer and let’s head down to the competition floor ladies and gentlemen Jay Crouch welcome back to the competition floor you set an official event record 11:22 did you know you were on that pace you seemed kind of surprised when we were telling you that time I mean I knew I had it in me um you know it’s sort of just like that OG crossfit workout and I’ve been doing this for a let’s say a long time so I was it was nice to sort of see the program and this weekend’s all sort of throwback cross what we all sort of fell in love with so yeah I knew I had it in me um I actually didn’t know that I got it done in the end there but yeah we got it done and uh also I just want to apologize to you guys uh for yesterday for L Ricky uh beat me down so hard um not putting on a race don’t making it exciting uh we’ll make it exciting hopefully all weakend and uh happy to bounce back from that one Jay now you say you’ve been competing a long time your coach or your former coach Rob may be competing a little bit longer than you how is it being on the competition floor with him and then being kind of more teammates rather than competitors yeah nice it’s cool like um obviously uh that’s what I grew up watching with him and um I think it’s really cool that he uh signed back up and got back at he like he’s clearly still got it and um yeah good on him good on him now you’re already talking a little bit of smack here with Ricky are you coming to claim that crown for the third time in a row I mean yeah why not let’s be the first one to do it um yeah I think I’d be the first one to do it on the men’s side so that’d be super cool and we’re always coming here to win but obviously the uh overall goals just come through this weekend safe and uh the do as best as we can at the games but of course like uh it’s the best show in the world here so let’s go well you heard it here first J Crouch coming back for the crown the old head of this region six times to the CrossFit Games and he’s only 25 years of age and apologies for the language for anyone who was offended who’s watching on at home but what a performance and he apologizes to the crowd sorry it wasn’t more of a race we’re going to have one now I’m sure oh we’re going to see more of a race between these two athletes today that’s for sure but Pete Alis on the right of screen [Music] [Applause] wow Jay Crouch though we love a little bit of trash talk down here in the [Applause] Oceania Jay over the years has shown us that consistency matters and will get you places we”re now seeing it with a little bit of Bailey Martin as well results are just consistent he doesn’t have to win every event we saw a couple years ago when he didn’t make the cross hit games and the final event 2022 touring Pro really hurt him with the strongman implement but he’s gone and done his homework and this great rivalry we’re seeing not just between Jay and Ricky but Jay Ricky and Bailey and now with Jay Ricky Bailey and Pete Ellis stepping into the arena they’re all trying to catch the two-time champ and result results for our fifth Heats J crash at 1 second getting that event record that all the subes held from last week Bailey Martin Pete Ellis Ricky Gard great result for Z Shel Healey as well the men are done for the morning all your official results hit the games. cross.com but women are coming up next don’t go anyway [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Fant as all world welcome back to day two of the Tan Pro live from Pat rafter Arena it is all happening here in South East Queensland in Brisbane Rie Dean heading up our adaptive Community competition that’s heading on outside rain seems to be clearing a little bit sun coming out but the party is still going to go on outside teenagers and our women hitting the competition floor for the first time this morning and they will tackle event number two ruling we have to wait and see how things play out for the five rounds of 100 double unders 20 toab bar 10 front squats 155 lbs 80 minutes on our time cap about 70 kilos converting to the metric system and now gock steps to success unbroken double unders and hold on to the barbell how does it feel as a former female cred games qualifier twice and you see the girls out on competition FL do you sit there and you go okay someone’s got my sort of physique and my ability do you go I could could have potentially done this or they should be doing this or do you compare yourself at all no definitely no there’s no I don’t think you can compare it’s grown and changed so much obviously there’s lots of stats we can compare but at the end of the day they’re all individuals Out There Our Lane assignments for the first of five Heats for our individual females for today newcomers ma wild C Ashton Caitlyn ham the oldest in the field Brook to a tow currently getting through the age group quarter finals during the week and great splash of pink there’s Brook there big smiles Campbell her first stab at individual competition as well papamoa [Music] underway things started to really get rocking for the men’s division Jake Douglas with a great result for him overall and we’ve noticed Luke dong proved it during the men’s competition as well you don’t need to be leading from the start when you sort of work your way through the five rounds strategize to make sure you finish Fast there’s a lot of reps involved in this event important not to blow out too [Music] early we’ve especially seeing lots of strategic breaks on the double Anders [Music] and on the toes to Bar the women with those Rises there to help them jump up to the bar for a lot of these ladies without that Riser it’s just too high to jump up Safety First always think’s getting a little bit lighter and brighter in here which means the rain is going away which is what we want to see to a tow to your left in white pink T-shirt Alis Scott another one of our young pee [Music] competitors Betty Huggins coming from Team competition last year and also Cody Campbell moving to the bar number of youngsters in the field for event number one one of those in particular from the guy who did pretty well in heat one of the men Jake Douglas snake CrossFit young Maisy wild more on that lender Bella we got a couple of youngsters in the field that’s absolutely right Maisy wild Alice Scott two of the youngest but Maisy and Caitlyn ham from snake CrossFit you were talking earlier about gymnastics backgrounds and bodies and I’ll tell you what both Maisy and Caitlyn are former gymnasts and they look it too so having that background and that skill in their back pocket for this specific event I think will play to their advantage they’re going to be able to hold on to that totto bar a little bit longer than some of some of the athletes that didn’t have that gymnastics background like the two I love seeing rookies like this like Maisy competing against athletes like Brooke again age is just a number here for CrossFit I’m so glad you said AG is just a number Caitlyn ham taking a photo of herself in the crowd last year Bella wearing her pink shirt and she goes maybe one day well that day was yesterday and today she gets to wear that pink out on the competition floor and that’s awesome that’s got to feel surreal dreams truly coming true out there in the stands and then now on here on the floor I love that for her it’s great to see that crossover as well from gymnastics we see it a lot in CrossFit a lot of EX gymnasts coming over I was one of those obviously there’s a lot of skills that transfer things that you pick up really easily and there’s other things that you really have to work on I know for me front squats was one of those things front squats are one of those kind of trickier or weightlifting elements you and I were chatting earlier the difference between an athlete that has a strong front squat and then an athlete that can have a strong front squat and hold on for volume and that’s what you’re going to see here this bar is not necessarily heavy but with the volume that they have to hold on we saw it really blowing up some of the guys in the previous event so hopefully the girls can hold on and manage that’s right 155b on the bar for the women that’s 70 kilos and look all these women can lift that weight but doing it over this amount of reps the fatigue is going to kick in but what we do see a lot in CrossFit is athletes that might not necessarily have the biggest one rep max on a lift like a front squat but they can rep out High weight over and over and over again with that strength endurance no pep you’re absolutely I think you’re right on that but something that’s funny that you and I can have a joke about and have a laugh about some of these ladies aren’t even 71 kilos and they’re going to have to front squat the house to just finish this event that’s right it is above body weight for a lot of these ladies very impressive [Music] Alice got one of those athletes and she’s having absolutely no trouble she may be one of our smallest and young athletes on the field but she is really getting to work this morning when you’re hitting the floor pip as you know it’s good to have experience it’s good to have youth is there a point where you need to have a sort of a blend or a mix of both to push yourself to that next [Applause] level we say it time and time again out here experience in this competition environment really does help just knowing what to expect the way competitions run and the way events run compared to how you practice it in your gym at home is so different knowing what the judges expect knowing the layout of the floor how it all works your time out the back I know that the sport is unknown unknowable but knowing a bit of what’s going to happen really does help [Applause] [Music] Alice Scott far right at [Music] screen seems like she’s been around [Music] forever still very [Music] young another one of those athletes from Cross C in 19 years of age New Girl spoke about it before that 70 kilos Alice only weighing in at roughly 60 kilos the cross it games competitor as well as a 16 to 17y Old finishing ninth that was back in [Applause] 2022 the former International Alpine skier another find a pattern here of skiers or cross country skiers [Music] but I love the fact that we’ve got the youngest and the oldest in the same heat here Al Scott she’s way out in front on her own [Music] I’m loving how Alice Scott is handling these front squats she’s wasting no time at all in the bottom bouncing straight out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] unlock 15% off your order at Northern Spirit dsport docomo checkout amazing [Applause] [Music] wild one of those youngsters I don’t know what they putting in the water out there in Tamworth sure where Tamworth is just Chuck it into your Google Maps light happening out there Jake Douglas Georgia prior wild Caitlyn h all part of the crew out there and they have got a very good crew Wilder top left in the whites crop top picking up her [Music] rope B wild ex gymnast Poli gymnast is it easier having that gymnastics background that a body awareness moving into an event like this where movements are fairly demanding especially on the core but also on you where you’ve got to put your body and when definitely helps having a gymnastics background for a lot of the CrossFit movements having already a strong core and grip strength but as we said before there’s so many elements that you do learn coming in the CrossFit lifting a barbell is one of them also a lot of our gymnast are smaller athletes this barbell is a good 10 plus kilos above the body weight for a lot of these ladies Kaitlin ham finishing up her round another competitive gynus Brook to a tow back left she’s got an 18-year-old daughter as old as Maisy W is in this heat and Scott for that matter she’s the second eldest of 10 kids you talk about diet when you’re trying to fuel your body the brook has never eaten red meat nor done anything to do with alcohol so putting all the good stuff in Alice she’s another one of those athletes that’s come through her progression has been slow and steady which I really like yeah there’s some holes a lot of athletes do have holes sometimes they go away and try and fix everything at once Grace did it over the years Alice is doing the same thing and the results are proven right here I think it’s well some of the athletes that come through the teenage Division and then make it in the individual division probably get a little bit ahead of themselves with where they’re reaching and you just have so much time just soak up the experience enjoy yourself enjoy your training keep your body healthy where W going through a gap here currently she does a lot of water skiing if you want something that’s going to improve your grip strength and your core water skiing is it and could potentially prove to be a winner for ma wild who’s currently in second behind Alice Scott [Music] the extended transition time between rolling the barbell down proving a bit of a winner for the ladies inat number [Music] [Applause] onea Ashton into third now just ahead of Amber Cohen who we met last year on the competition floor here at Toran Pro it is day two of comp competition the last day competition for teams the second for the individuals we are going to paint the pro pink today raise awareness of domestic violence and former tooran pro competitor Hannah [Music] Clark hugin being started on hers as Alice Scott wraps things up 4 minutes left on our [Music] [Applause] Capers are absolutely buckling everybody regardless of who they are regardless of how many times they’ve been in the crossing game if they’ve been to the games all they Fitness level these 500 double Huns are rough now Alice Scott is having a look around for where Maisy is seeing how close the gap is Alice to the far right of your screen Maisy near side to the screen now if Maisie can get out a big set of these toes to Bar she could close the gap on Alice Scott wow she’s done a few of those in her day with that beautiful gymnastic straight legs are they what and the race is on now here we go Alice Scott with a hustle on she’s just had a peek over her right [Music] shoulder in is Alan Scott squats have been fast and the range of movement is shorter and there is going to be no stopping Alice Scott from [Music] [Applause] here Al Scott 1552 unofficial time La wild having a quick break two minutes left on our time cap [Music] big snake CrossFit contingent here Pat raar this [Music] weekend the youngster Maisy wild impressive very impressive I like how she gained that last set of front squats her legs look rocked solid but the front rack looked like was fatiguing out she put the bar down and got that last set done got to know your limits Christina Ashton mty Huggins Amber Cohen are going to battle for these 10 reps Christina Ashton the newc to competition those squats do not look like 70 kilos is on the bar Ashton doing and easy and Cohen is [Applause] in Huggin part of Team CrossFit create last year having to step out of the team she was offered a position backf position and making that cut off had the drop out of the team she’s in Indies 30 seconds remaining now Caitlin ham Brook to a tow Cody Campbell are your final three athletes on the [Music] [Applause] [Music] floor final few seconds of out first e CrossFit game teens’s experience coming through knowing where our competitors [Music] were she’ll be happy with that one I think I don’t think overly happy with yesterday but coming out of the blocks today and speaking to Georgia PRI earlier today she wasn’t happy with the start she got your sa but she said there’s still five events to go so it’s hard now that we’re moving from one event on day one to two to three plenty of points still up for grabs and chances to to move up that leaderboard Alice look Rock Solid and how much does range of movement come into it and body height you’re doing a movement like a toad bar and a front squat you’ve obviously got to go a little bit further well your front squat you don’t have to go you don’t have to move as far so you saw Al Scott just bouncing out of that bottom she didn’t have very hard to stand up at all 1552 is her time for Heat number one the youngster Maisy wild snake crossfits getting in 1619 so Brook to a tow just not able to get over the Finish Line in time but all the Reps completed [Music] athletes hitting the floor heat number [Music] [Applause] two the vi in here Pat ra Arena really starting to build Splash of pink for day two this is event number two five rounds for time of 100 double under 20 toad bar 10 front squats 155b or 70 kilos 18 minute time cap strategy in pacing the name of the [Applause] game now go steps to success unbroken double unders and hold on to the barbell so talk to me about unbroken double unders how difficult is it to do 500 unbroken double unders I don’t think we’ve seen anyone get there yet they’ve tried to get the unbroken double unders that’s the front squat leg fatigue that really kicks in on those double unders and then the accuracy under fatigue when your legs get tired you start to trip on your rope seen lots of athletes have strategic breaks but then there’s also been a lot of accidental breaks from tripping on their Road Sheree wiot 37 year old Cooper and ly hopefully they’re here watching caught up with her and husband tra this morning have a little bit of a chinwag she is an Australian Defense Force MTI physical training instructor and runs the Australian Defense Force CrossFit affiliate here in Australia should be in Lane number one Hanford with some work to do in Lane number two and just like a synchronization oh they’ve done it twice that hurts when the buzzer goes and you’re tripping over your rope but they’re off and there’s a long way to go so it’s not going to matter yet jol Hanford we spoke about her yesterday not the ideal event one for her she needs to start moving down here in Heat number five she needs to start progressing her way into that heat number one yeah two athletes I’ve got my eye on in this heat is Julia Hanford in Lane number two and Bry chalice in Lane number three to athletes that will be looking to get out of this heat today and move their way up rnie chalice going to the CrossFit [Music] Games part of Team exf 2 years ago Christy Hollard MOS Patell getting that team together Henry car the fourth member of that team and they were impressive two years ago althia Boon the top of your screen you spoke last Heat about the gymnastics Kip and you can tell the gymnast the fact that they’re using a straight leg position for their toad to Bar every time and if it’s struggling a little oh the toad toar is the dead giveaway for an ex gymnast on the floor those beautiful straight legs and an easy Kip just all that hamstring [Applause] [Music] Mobility Haniford doing well taking a couple of strategic breaks on those Toaster bus so that’s probably going to be her thing getting under that barbell is going to be a strength py Woodhouse cosset more from wagger [Music] [Applause] lley big shout out to a number of our broadcast friends that are watching along as in the states as well Annie Sakamoto is watching tuning in good day Annie hope you are [Music] well and day two of the Toran Pro we paint the the pro pink awareness of domestic violence and our former competitor Hannah Clark taken from us and her three young children as well we raise awareness on Saturday and that is why you see so much pink not just from the competitors from all around the stadium here at Pat rafter Leia Boon almost head to toe in pink also one of our very special Mothers now we know lethia Boon does not like jumping and running anymore after that Achilles rupture she’s doing very well though but we’re going to see her strategically break these double unders up to take the pressure off that Achilles we spoke to althia this morning she’s feeling good after yesterday very happy to have gotten that one done under the time cap Lor Arley doing very well for the M athletes watching along as well they might find this little fun fact funny when we spoke to althia on Thursday she said when she was being shown around downstairs in the athlete area all the recovery guys were coming up to her and showing her around and she’s like I don’t know if I should be concerned that all the recovery people are coming to me and showing me where their services are the athlete services with Andrew alner here it’s like a magnet to the old people two of the older heads on the field as well Bry chalice and Julie Hanford in Lanes two and three Bry moving forward now and probably making a move but more on that let’s head down to Bella she’s going to have to make a move as she wants to be in contention going into the final day tomorrow both Bron and Julia were two of those kind of Darker horses that a lot of us had picked for that open fourth spot going to the CrossFit games this year talked to Julia yesterday she was saying oh this first event is just damage control for me look what else K can do here she is not in that top heat yet after yesterday but I’m hopeful that after this event and maybe a little bit later we’re going to see her starting to climb her way up the leaderboard it’s tough I’ll tell you these stronger athletes and I’d say shorter athletes too really struggled yesterday on that run it is not easy starting your competition weekend off with an event that you are not stoked or confident to do but I’m excited to see what Julia can do and hopefully you said it team’s game athlete Bion can climb their way out of the hole that they dug themselves in and make their way up you’re right on that b it is a very hard place to start is event one with your weaknesses straight up mentally it is a Hard One to overcome but I know that for Julia Hanford especially there is some events coming up this weekend that we know that she will shine on just a matter of getting as high up the leaderboard as she can moving her way up the heat and seeing what she can do we’ve seen it happen before down here in Oceania we have sent athletes to the games from the bottom heat it happens and I tell you what Julia says she’s got her cowboy hat ready to go yes ma’am you got to look at her nails too she’s got a cowboy hat on her middle finger I said if you want to flip off the camera we’re in Australia you can do that but make sure it’s worth it the iconic Julia hanit cowboy hat oh she’s got to bring it on the Saturday night it wouldn’t be the same Lori Yardley from Iron body crossfits over in Perth Western Australia grew up on a cattle property in Townsville probably couldn’t get two further points in Australia Townsville all the way to Perth so her partner

hanford’s but Ronnie just goes about her business doesn’t bother anyone impossible almost impossible to get information out of her cuz she’s just so humble and so reserved [Applause] so level pegging Lor Yardley and bronnie chalice 802 Qui time after three rounds oh the balance talk about double unders and how you miss double unders is what happens normally the fatigue level hits so badly that your arms skew out to the side ring beautiful and those following along at home that might be working on their double unders you know how frustrating it is that when you start missing double unders you keep missing double unders do you see a lot of these athletes they’ll miss it and they’ll stop for a second compose themselves before they start again because it’s one of those things you start missing and you do not stop fellow broadcaster bill grundler will attest that he just goes they’re either on or they’re not there’s nothing in between and Bill I am with you all the way and Bill

of them so far in the seven Heats that we’ve seen from the males and females so far no doubt more strategies to come hit Malone but our steps to success thanks to gock unbroken double unders and hold on to the [Music] barbell now we’ve seen lots of athletes holding on to the barbell we haven’t seen lots of athletes doing unbroken double unders we’ve seen lots of broken double unders accident or not our L assignments for Heat number three I’m just laughing because I know how hard 100 double UND 500 Jemma H one of those athletes along with Georgia pry that we’re used to seeing not in Heat number three so with some work to do Georgia pry knows she’s got some work to do and this is probably one event in particular that she’s going to excel out marus Jennifer bong Aon Felton one of our older athletes in the field 37y old Jaye mancy two Time games competitor in the team Division and no doubt that vibe from Jay’s going to extend right throughout the weekend cuz she’s having the best time of her life again Jay’s always got the best Vibe out there like we had in the previous heat we had a couple of names probably in lower heat they wanted to be for a Saturday morning we do have the same in this heat Georgia PRI in Lane number three is one that be looking to move her way up Gemma hul as well in Lane number four [Music] and Jaye mansey another one of our M athletes it was very happy to hear that she was not the oldest on the floor this weekend not by a long shot JY mancy that 35 to 39 Masters division booked to a tow taking the mantle of oldest in the fields and prior another of the snake CrossFit athletes from [Music] Tamworth and we spoke about in the previous heat so gymnastics backgrounds Georgia PRI another one of these athletes with a gymnastics background now Sheree Willcox in the previous heat potentially qualifying for the Masters games leaderboard obviously not official but looks like she has come in 20th so B couple of weeks for Sheree Wilcox and great result for her hul prior maruson in the background to the far right in the black and the pink I say black and pink everyone’s pretty much out there wearing black and pink JMA H this is more like it Jemma H look very strong on those front squats we know she’s good under a barbell another one of these athletes that has been on that bubble each year there’s so many points up for grabs this weekend is she another one that we could see move her way up toward towards one of those games tickets talk body position for a second Georgia prior the white shorts he’s not moving at all Jemma h on the other hand there is a lot of arm hand movement even Mel holen hands moving a fair bit is that what works for you or is it sort of a set rule where the Le the less body movement the better definitely the less body movement the better on a double unders you don’t want to blow your grip out and they’ve got 500 double unders to get through and then they’ve got to grip the bar the toes the bar and then hold that front score in the front rack so they can do the least amount of movement with those hands and arms in the double unders the better it’s easier said than done though under fatigue sometimes the body just does things that you don’t want it to do we are seeing it firstand here on the competition floor with the elite of the Oceania region these Elite athletes and they’re struggling with a simple Movement Like skipping it’s weird it’s the simple stuff that hurts in these big [Music] events be Lannister left of screen she knows his fall like the back of her hand Shante maruson on the far right just dropping down having a [Music] break reason she’s having a break is cuz she’s finished the 20 to to bar now Georgia prior broke her first set of front squats but she made

squats giving time for Jemma H to catch up with a straight set of 10 it’s going to be interesting to see if that tactic plays off in those last couple of rounds breaking the front squats maruson on

between her double unders more on that let’s get down to Bella Mel is one of not the only police officers in the field we have a couple we have 13 firefighters you mentioned Gilly we’ve got a lot of military servicemen and women as well pip something that comes to mind for me is how do you manage to train at this Elite level while also doing shift work is it possible to find that sort of balance while your job is so demanding it is possible Bella it is hats off to all of our we have firefighters police nurses Defense Force we’ve got it all in this athlete field and it’s just a testament to the athletes they are to be able to manage such a demanding job shift work and their training and then to come out here at the highest level of athletic performance and be killing it it’s just unreal to see and we have such a great representation in the ocean of the service men and women it’s really impressive I think a lot of times at least within Northern America CrossFit a lot of these athletes have just decided I’m going to dedicate my entire life to training and they don’t you know don’t think it’s possible to do both but we have so many athletes here that are still full time in their careers with demanding careers and doing it I’m incredibly impressed and you said it hat off to them oh definitely you see so many athletes that you know take time off their usual full-time job to just train for these events and then you’ve got these other athletes out here that are still doing their shift work and training and then coming out here and they’re mixing it it’s great tell you what on Sunday night when there’s a little bit of fire one of these guys is going to put it out let’s hope not we want to keep that fire rolling here at the Tan Pro melol head just doing that in Lane

to [Music] move so normally Pip with six events across the weekend can afford to have one little glitch but everything else has got to be highly consistent so this won’t be good for Gemma cuz this will be two that are not what we normally expect of [Applause] them obviously the squat not the issue those toad bar those double unders absolute killer H willby next to finish still for ladies out on

few reps Georgia prior back in the world of the living again she mentioned her plan her strategy Precision is what I would call it I liked it start to finish she stuck to her plan of breaking up those front squats she did five and five marus holding on to all 10 each time and just a little less efficient on a double unders than Georgia and that’s really what got Georgia ahead in this event to be honest at the start I was a little worried when I saw her breaking up the front spots but tell you what she obviously trusted her plan so efficient on the double unders and toes to [Music] bar and then that last set of front squats held on for the [Music] 10 snuck in over the Finish Line ahead of marcuson that’s going to be a really important finish for Georgia PR this morning we know that she would be looking to move up from yesterday’s event she’ll be really happy with that one [Applause] chance he be quite to start off with but wow the last couple of days showing us she is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the yosia region prior coming in in 1423 so a little bit of buffer back to 1431 for Markus and only four athletes getting the job done in this Heat going soon 154 hok in

Georgia prior proved that step to success correct in The Unbroken double unders and got the Heat win glad to see [Music] it we’ve got to go to your strength we know that most of these athletes could probably squat this barbell for 10 Georgia prior previous he goes I’m not going to double unders have been proving the deciding factor so far for the men and women our lane assignments for our second last Heat great work from some youngsters to competition MD Gilmore Emma idel [Music] Nikki stter as well Chelsea [Music] Lane some of the old heads as well Simone Arthur flying that 2014 flag don’t we love it underway for Heat number four our fifth Heat final heat of the individual females to come shortly after which we will get to bet number four for the team competition plenty of excitement happening with that as [Music] well I’m enjoying watching how the ladies and the gentlemen earlier on how they adapt to fatigue on the fly positioning of what they’re doing with their double unders how big a kip they’re using with their toad to bar and then their positioning of their elbows and their torso in particular on those front squats well like we saw on the run yesterday in event number one so those athletes that can really not show the fatigue on their bodies their body positioning keep that movement standard strong it definitely sets athletes apart mty Gilmore far left of screen Dr shelling getting that PhD finally done she said it has been difficult training working and writing 100,000 words over the last couple of years more doing well yesterday out of CrossFit Bondi 23y old

the all purple Simone Arthur [Music] and Matty shelling two of our most experienced on the floor in this heat got plenty of youngsters as well so head down to Bell up for more on that we’ve got youngsters but we’ve also got some of these Underdog rookies when I tell you this entire heat almost is made up of backfill invitations that’s pretty fun we’ve got Matty Gilmore we’ve got Emma yell who put on a phenomenal performance last night Nikki Salter and Chelsea Lane these ladies weren’t even sure they were going to make it in and now here they are almost in that top heat second day of competition I tell you what I think the confidence that you can find and build upon on this second day of competition knowing hey I might not have supposed to be here but here I am I might as well show up what’s the worst thing that can happen I might as well just try it’s pretty fun to watch that’s right Beller I think the athletes that have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain but experience you really do see it come through in the performances because they just out here having a go and just saying well here I am what can I do and there’s no nerves there I mean if no one has any expectations there’s no pressure all you have to do is go have fun and run the race do the event the way that you know you’ve said with your steps of success do it the way pip says to do it and you’ll be fine did you hear that Jeremy do it the way I said to do it I listen to every female in my life that’s why I’m staying silent smart man very I learned my lesson years ago Dr shelling in lane [Music] two Sone Arthur at the far right of screen you go in with a strategy like Georgia PRI what happens if that doesn’t come to fruition and you got to change on the fight do you have a plan B C D and even uh plan X as we go down the alphabet look I think there’s definitely a plan B and then it’s damage control just do what you can we saw that with Georgia Pryor on her last round of front squats in the previous heat she did not want to hold on to that bar for 10 but she knew she had to I think if she had a bigger buffer she definitely would have dropped it and stuck to her plan Mo though no problem at all on these front squats neither is Dr shelling she asked me to call her doctor every time I reference her on the call I said well you deserve it you’ve earned it so I’m going to call you doctor doctor of philosophy mty shelling two Time games competitor in team competition so plenty of experience double unders are just one of those movements as I mentioned with Bill grber earlier on you either have got them or you don’t some days they feel amazing and you are never going to miss it’s like you don’t even have a rope you’ve just got handles but some days you feel like

difficult Jo Lan will be 70 kilos if she’s got pockets full of rocks and marbles everything else one of our smaller athletes and the fatigue levels from what she’s done on the barbell is transferring immediately to the double unders more comfortable you are squatting the easier things are going to be that’s right for the athletes at the the squat is close to their one rep max they’re just having

Clemens a very big set of Toto bar it was interesting that she did her Ecentric lower when I mean that for people watching at home she lowered her legs under control rather than just dropping off the bar if you’re going to go to that position you just get your toes there and just let go the bar wouldn’t you let your feet hit I think she’s aware that she has a riser under her which is easy to miss

are facing the finish line and they are between the start line and the riglin vanil grace Walton choosing to jump on the dolma which is the soft padding underneath where the rig is to minimize the

competition for Grace Walton and Grace will be first on unbroken set of to toaster bar and also double unders Matty St choosing to break them up look I think it’s too early to save whose tactic is going to pay off yet but what I do know is that Grace Walton is coming for an event win Walton finishing up that first round in about 150 and another youngster great with gymnastics Daisy McDonald back on the competition for again more on that let’s head to Bella Daisy McDonald looking at those totto bar Kips in round number one she was long and she was powerful and look at her now rolling that bar forward and fourth going back to it for round two she’s got that gymnastics background we’ve seen that really pay off for some of the girls in the earlier Heats but I tell you what you never know what’s going to happen especially when you’re up against Grace Walton Matty stur Caitlyn vanil hopefully Daisy’s strategy with the long Kip for the totto bar pays off that barbell looked a little heavier for her even though it is round one she looked to be straining a little bit more than the other ladies but you know what it’s only round one we got a long way to go that’s right Bella there is a long way to go and as we saw with Georgia prior in one of the previous heat also ex gymnast the barbell was also heavy for her but she won it on her double unders and her toes bar you know when all eyes are on the big names in a heat some of these outside Lanes Lane 8 and Lane one can sneak along be getting the work done silently see what they can do I mean they can sneak along and if you’re talking about anybody sneaking along Michelle Hayes and Adams I did not expect them to be in the top Heat going into day two here they are anything’s [Music] possible sh very impressive yesterday and not really surprised to see her here in this top heat she’s one of those athletes that’s been kicking around for a little bit but as you’ve been watching the last nine Heats on the competition for with the men and women what have you noticed with the to bar it’s the totto bar that’s really getting people you’re seeing some athletes that can maintain the big sets some that are breaking Maybe by choice Maybe by force of fatigue you’re not really sure but watching them already go and even last week’s French Throwdown athletes doing this workout they were saying it’s not just the totto bar it’s the double under into the totto bar that’s got them really messed up here Grace Walton making her way back she’s got the the lead on mty St Maddie still breaking her toes to Bar Grace keeping them

seconds behind Laura harvar with time to beat of 1124 split time at the end of this 6 minutes and 36 seconds so just under a minute from [Music] now yeah Grace that face looks relaxed she knows exactly what she’s doing and if you’re going to finish second in the open strategy and plans are all part of it neck and neck now Grace wton Matty thir Grace 12 seconds ahead of Laura harvas split time can she maintain it Matty’s dirt looks great in that squat we know MADD stur is great on High Reps heavyweight she doesn’t necessarily have the biggest One max out there but she can Squat and she can squat for days and Grace dropping that chalk and going down to get it which is going to allow Matty St to jump in the lead but only these double unders going to be interesting keep in mind M St is actually moving further each time to go behind the rig and off the dolma onto the rubber mtic now Jeremy while we have a battle between Maddie and Grace going on Caitlyn vanil is sitting in third but Daisy McDonald in Lane number eight is creeping her way up to Caitlyn and closing the gap [Applause] Caitlyn looking to make her way back to the CrossFit Games as an individual Daisy McDonald looking

the French Throwdown Grace now breaking the totto bar up Matty thir continues the strategy breaking from the start is it going to pay off mty stur ahead does she pull away her chance to go one and one for the first two events the first two days of the Toran Pro what does MD need to do to stay in front she’s got to hold on to her Squat and move them fast I think sticking to her tactic of breaking those toes to Bar are going to start to pay off now Grace may have gone a bit too hard on her grip so grip obviously an important factor when you consider you’re holding a skipping rope you’re doing toad to Bar you’re holding a front squat in a front rack position we saw eang Curtis cross his arms over because his arms were completely busted earlier on we’ve only seen it once and that was from him we haven’t seen it from anyone else I don’t I don’t think Matty st’s going to have a problem with this last set of squ but is that something potentially Grace could look out for her last set it is potentially you know she went aggressive with those first sets of toar holding on unbroken round four mty St 857 the split time Grace coming in at [Music] 916 now Matty’s put a big lead in what a start from M St if she can go 200 points after the first two events could you have dunk it I know you predicted [Applause] [Music] it Matty doubles she hasn’t moved her body position for nearly 500 [Music] reps stt only only a few seconds ahead of Laura Horas event record from the last week Ry ouch M St strong through the midline does she have enough grip left to get an even further lead what does she do with this set 15 and [Music] five she’s got to be smart and not blow out keep some reps in the tank [Applause] oh she is unbroken come on the ground’s got to go nuts if she does she drops she wants to go unbroken on this last set of front squats oh the last five the crowd are loving this I know we’d love to see M back for five the cross it games the crowd they want it as well [Applause] [Music] at time from Laur hbar been and gone now with no event record the individual males sorry individual females but mie St an absolutely incredible performance and we’re 200 points now in the bag and four events to come you couldn’t ask for a better start from Matty St for her fifth potential fifth trip back to the crossing games oh Matty St what an execution of a plan Grace Walton came out of the gate aggressive with The Unbroken toaster bar but it has just ripped her group apart but here she goes for her last set of front Sports Grace has just got to stick with MD you know second place not bad at all consisteny again is the key race this is actually looking like a much better Center Front s cuz she got a little bit more in the tank it is way quicker than every other heat so she can just Cruise doesn’t matter what she does now Grace walson she’ll jump in second position on that leaderboard are these going to be two of our qualifiers at the end of [Music] Sunday Daisy McDonald with that massive gymnastic swing holding on for dear life oh Daisy McDonald come on knew she had something special in her and if you’re jumping ahead the likes of Danny Ford and klin vanil you’re doing okay Daisy from wton CrossFit in Melbourne 22 years of age ah impressive Daisy McDonald Bella highlight before she potentially with that gymnastics background kicks in a contention and not too bad on a front squat either well she’s got the mobility for all those years of gymnastics [Applause] V this will be good enough for fourth overall Caitlyn vanil doing what she needs to do to stay in that top four contention we knew yesterday was going to be in her wheelhouse with so much cardio firefighter Danielle Ford so strong under a barbell little bit slower than Simone Arthur

stt sticking to her game plan of breaking up the Reps paid off she just had that bit more left in the tank as gra said training she went for it d died a little died a little in the last round but he got to test where you are at when you’re at this sort of position if you can get out that far in front and still hold on things are going well for you and look we say it time and time again experience and Maddie stt has more experience than anyone out there and she knows how to run her own race and it is paying off she’s just concentrating on herself she’s in the best shape that we’ve ever seen her

going to know who is going to the games tonight for the teams we certainly will event number four three rounds for time one male female pair doing three rounds of 30 cows on the rower 30 overhead squats and the second pair will be doing one round of 90 cows on the rower and 90 overhead squats the men 1885 L 85 kilos and for the women it will be 125 L and about 57 kilos a 16-minute Time cap now go rock steps to success athlete order and keep some reps in the bank let’s talk about athlete order you and I are doing this you’re a great overhead squatter because we know that because you’ve gone to compete for Australia at the Commonwealth Games is something you do the first three rounds of 30 and you go on or you do the 90 I think you give you stronger athletes more volume because they’re going to handle it oh there we go done simple we’ve got five teams on the competition floor unfortunately crit San having to withdraw yesterday Tim Fowler had a chat to him this morning he’s got crutches with him and he’s hobbling around the place he has actually torn his anterior cruciate ligament his posterior cruciate ligament and torn his meniscus as well the last warm-up lift before they were hitting the floor absolutely devastating for the SN team from Christ Church [Applause] [Music] and a very slow start that team’s really in a rush to get [Music] started Papa MOA M Diamond alry kicking things off so as you mentioned with the strategy of where and when you put your athletes the athletes at the back they’re going to be waiting a fair well they Corral underneath where we are here and come out on the competition floor and they sit and wait now what’s an adequate rowing percentage if you’re going to do 30 cal you put your males on the road to shift the calories the quickest or how do you work it out well obviously the males are going to be shifting them quicker but the females just starting it off get it R rolling I think it’s really coming down to the overhead squats on this one they need to they need to row at a decent pace but they’ve got to leave enough in the tank to make sure that those overhead squats stay nice and steady and clean and they’re making all their reps count they’re doing a lot of overhead squats having to do any extras is going to really hurt I never thought of the extras yet I was just thinking about the volume of 90 amalei Bing to the far right of screen for the monal star strength wild cards one of our youngest competitors on the competition floor ra West with Tim Good Sam tonbridge getting things [Music] underway seeing teams breaking up those overhead squats really early on and already quite a few no reps athletes have to make sure that they’re hit crease gets below the knee the B has to be locked out [Music] overhead as we go along Amali with a very good overhead squat position and for a youngster to be shifting a barbell like that impressive the quality lifting that we’re seeing in all our young athletes down in the Oceania region is just unreal they’re clearly doing their homework with their Olympic lifting in their gyms I remember early on we were taught to raise those shoulders towards those ears in get a position and then later on we’re taught to relax those shoulders and bring them down to open up that shoulder joint a little bit more to stabilize the weight so everything is loaded on top of your ribs when you go from say cross into a weightlifting position what do they focus on specifically for that overhead position well every athlete’s different because your overhead position is really going to come down to your overhead Mobility which I have none [Applause] of too much bench press in my early days and almost finished round number two movement is going to be key in this more on that let’s head down to Bella Martin well while these athletes are working through it you’re seeing different movement patterns for that overhead squat you’re seeing some of the stronger athletes able to squat snatch that bar go straight into the squats but I’ll tell you what you’re going to see a lot of these athletes struggle and they’re going to power clean power Jerk it put it into the back rck position if it’s taking you that much time and effort and energy to just get the bar up and overhead you’re back for a failure and it’s not going to be good are you’re right on that Bella a lot of the time in CrossFit as well we see athletes when they’re starting out new they really struggle with that wide grip on the barbell puts a lot of pressure on the wrists and the shoulders something that you need to ease into you cannot rush into it with the big weights these weights that the athletes are moving is something that they’ve worked on over time yeah it’s def a moderate to kind of heavy barbell for this volume of overhead squats especially for the women it’ll be interesting to see who far is better in this event if it’s going to be the men or the women when it comes down to the overhead squats what are we looking at loading for an event like this we don’t want anything too light and obviously we don’t want anything too heavy I think they found the absolute perfect weight for both males and females in this that’s going to be testing athletes as we see our first box move and the athlete that moves the box is only able to jump back onto the rower so you’ll see the first rower the person who moves the box and that weight load that they are shifting you do the three rounds of 30 but when you get to the back end one set of 90 then we’re really cooking you’re really cooking and I think overall all of the events this weekend have been great tests of fitness and you’re absolutely right in my opinion the way for all of the barbells are pretty fair to test that Fitness and not just your strength but can you hold on can you handle the volume can you handle the fatigue we’re trying to figure out who’s going to the CrossFit Games here we got to give him a little bit of a test a big time no easy ticket here especially in the Oceania region greater West split time of 532 ruach too far behind in 545 and monal star strength wild cards in [Music] 557 [Music] ruach seems It’s been here many years spoke about positioning of that barbell and it’s almost like The Wider you go is not always better depends obviously on your Mobility jam looks like he’s just tilting those hips a little forward yeah having the barbell over that Center of mass in an overhead squat super important but how you can make it over your center of mass is the biggest thing because you need that shoulder Mobility to be able to get the bar into the perfect position you mentioned that Nicole Drummond and jerked the bar put it on her back got set and then put it overhead in the perfect position obviously the stronger you are the less you have to do that but what a way to do it while maintaining that position on your back rack it’s also a smart way to do it if this is a particularly heavy weight for you over this amount of reps and you’re not comfortable squat snatching into it it’s a safe way to get it over your head make sure the first rep counts and not be wasting time the Dr going again funo rep starting to creep in for Papa MOA map she’s doing really good work with that 125 lbs just like to see the athletes push their hips back a bit more to get their Center of mass right under the bar help with that balance chesco laaco left of screen Marley boning on the right a core fatigue athletes are almost at the end of their competition how much is their core activating or getting fried in an event like this oh for the teams they did all that worm holding yesterday which static holds we know absolutely below your midline out and then having to do all these overhead squats that also require midline stability stability out the door by now ruach our first team over the line 838 our split time Raider West in 843 and now the monovale star strength wild cards hamali and Franchesco are done good knowing as you hit the halfway point if you’re the first pair anyway job’s done there’s nothing else you can do to help your team the meatball Nathan herner Center of screen Roxy George far left just getting off the row now Jake Lackey one of our stronger taller athletes so I’d be giving him the bulk of the rowing galleries that’s for sure oh yeah we know tall people and aowa goes hand in hand and overhead squatting and shorter athletes go hand in hand as well so perfect partnership on the far left for Roxy George and Jake Lackey for monov Val star strength wild [Music] cards and cross it creates and cross it papaa in Lanes five and six they are still battling Jenna lenich for create a very wide stance two athletes in Joe JS picking the bar up in the background with the pink shirt on Jam hsby doing the same squat s at 80 easy the time to beat worldwide cross Prana ker 1310 that is in 2 minutes from now so they must have been absolutely [Applause] hustling Catherine Owen now getting on on the row for greater [Applause] [Music] West now something we’re seeing the teams doing we just saw on the bottom of the screen the athletes helping each other with their foot positioning on the rower saving that time it might not seem a lot to someone who’s not familiar with doing row events or workouts in their gym at home but where your foot strap is makes a huge difference with how much power you can put through your legs if you’ve got big feet then you need to move that setting up a bit and then your smaller female athletes would be have smaller feet and have to have their strap down lower I’m smiling only because I know you’ve done a half marathon row and I’m wondering what you did with your footstraps in an event like that at the CrossFit Games I actually changed them around a lot because I was getting blisters so I had to keep adjusting it because my feet were hurting so bad any worse than losing all of your toenails last weekend I actually think it hurt worse on the road the halfathon road Papa MOA for getting their box and they haven’t had a happy event for Papa MOA among a party Jamon Orby and Nicole Drummond are done now shami King and Aiden Poco the far right of screen said Vargas CLA Alam waiting for CrossFit creates [Music] and talaki for ruak battling away as Roxy George Jake Lackey Katherine Owen and Nathan Horner in the center of Pat rafter Arena Katherine owens’s got a very good mobile position for overhead squat she’s got great shoulder position well remember she’s our genius so she knows a lot of stuff and you spoke about that positioning before she looks like she’s got that positioning down pat she looked like she had a lot more reps in the tank she was able to push her hips backwards and under the bar and let her leg legs do the work once your shoulders are in a nice strong position overhead the overhead squat becomes less of a shoulder movement and more of a leg movement Nathan Horner oh that core nearly giving out I guess you’re relying on your body when to tell you enough’s enough but he strategize with your kny how many reps you’re doing or do you go by field I think you need to go by field and when you feel like you’re getting to that point of failure you need to put it down and keep a rep or two in the tank I like that I got no reps in the tank cther Owen breathing’s an important one as well you go up and you hit the platform for one single lift what are you doing with your breathing you’re holding your breath the entire the entire lift it depends how long it takes you okay so you’re going up for that say 3 4 5 Second lift you’re holding your breath for the entire time that’s not very long when you’ve got 90 reps to complete what are you doing with your [Music] breathing you got to be a little bit strategic with overhead squats because if you breathe at the wrong point and you’ve already got a wobbly midline it can make it a little bit harder to stabilize through the middle probably want to be breathing at the top of each rep so that you can reset to go back down again absolutely tough going for our Heat number oneor when I said exra yeah yeah it was extra 10 reps it wasn’t yeah 100% cuz we had the disagreement at 56 and then you went what a battle the two girls Roxy and Marley still smiling bouncing around having the time of their life but tough going for our teams our second last event for the team competition for the entire torian Pro for 24 how sad but it was a tough one to get things cracking so bit of rowing bit of overhead squats I like the combination personally but these teams have done a lot of work already after yesterday midlines are [Music] blown lots of good overhead squatting though from our teams the majority of the athletes had no problem with the weight it’s just how fast can you get it done once that fatigue starts kicking in on an overhead Squad and you get those death wobbles it’s very hard to pull it back back in you mentioned the combo and we’re squatting stabilizing shoulder position and a very strong pulling motion for the row [Music] calories if you’ve got someone who can overhead squat you are in good position teams a little bit of struggle streak and hit one down oh outstanding young man oh great splashes of P right throughout oh cross a create team PL of support here for all of our athletes individuals teams you name it there we go create pits down in Melbourne I don’t think we can get any more pink if we tried it’s getting better and better each year more people embracing day two of the Tan Pro where we paint the pro pink that guy’s got headphones on so he doesn’t have to listen to us or me sorry me [Music] oh what are we calling that I’m going to take a guess and say they’re from the country I was going to say so but the Western Cut Off pink check oh lovely pink wigs going on Panthers in the house I’d be wearing that too it’s not overly warm here our second day of competition at theorum Pro for 2024 at least the rain has stopped we’ve got some patches of Blue Sky plenty going on outside as well our community competition our teenagers our adaptivesportsmen.org [Music] he number two making their way on it is three rounds for time the first male female pair will do 30 calorie row and 30 overhead squats and pair number two will do one round of 90 calro and 90 overhead squats men at 185 85 kilos women 125 lb about 57 kilos 16-minute time cap that ticked away very [Applause] quickly go Ro steps to success athlete order and keep some reps in the tank something that heat W wasn’t able to [Music] do 168 Alexandra from Sydney they will be in Lane seven on our lane assignments concept they’ll be very happy there’s no worm in sights bit of a battle yesterday with it and some [Music] experience Jake L one of the most experienced in the field field CR our star strength I can definitely see a few teams out there that would be very happy that there’s no running or worm this one we’ve got some Heavy Hitters out there with chocolate box well Sandra she’s very happy there’s no running give her a heavy barbell any day of the week just give her the 90 over squat honestly oh know she’s actually going out first they mentioned the volume the strategy the volume’s the same the intensity is different how many times you practices oh talking to Star earlier he had teams practicing some of the events number of times different strategies to play out a lot of the teams as well would have been practicing events in Parts save the volume on their training [Music] Ben Alvaro James brief for iron body far left and aani fing things up as well Dan Potter on the row first for chocolate box Jak L doesn’t mind a barell nor does m [Music] Davis Kira just coping a couple of no reps athletes are got to get down below parallel now one person I know who would love these is Sammy Moore on screen no stranger to that position overhead Australian weight lifter she got the call out late for concept she still got it so her partner Ben wardwell this is an interesting combo cuz both are very experienced and both we know could Shi a lot of load interesting that they’re going out first they could be using the strategy to get out ahead and give their other teammates time it’s 125 lb for the ladies 185 for the men that Waits absolutely no problem for Sammy Mo even after having her second baby split time time to beat 204 for round number one which is ridiculous we’re already in 2 minutes 40 Bailey running back for body CrossFit in that blue shirt bottom of the screen Jake La at the bottom see M getting to work with her row so it’s Ryan Le in the center for Rick Jim Kira we a light red shirt we’ve already seen a speed change from our previous heat our first pair of athletes making easy work of their overhead squats Sandra Larina excited to see what she can do with the barbell Stan pot has finished up with his row and you mentioned it earlier with the height of athletes and how easy the row seems to be you just get more distance on that chain each time for shorter athletes not enjoying the row as much that’s right taller athletes have further to pull it which means they’re generating more power shorter athletes having to work that bit harder through their quads to generate the power oh that’s a great squat Arisa Larina from chocolate box no rip there just due to dep that stabilization at top looks great well we saw her lifting yesterday was so strong she had no problem with the jerk overhead but that wider grip might be something that she’s not quite as strong as and we see that quite a lot where athletes are really really strong clean and jerkers but the overhead squat just posing a little beit more of a problem you can see how hard the muscles in her shoulders are working you can see them pulsing each time this is a really really good stint but just not able to get below that at parallel yes below not so much yeah and she just CED a few no reps from her judge but not getting those hips below parallel Dan Potter really narrow with his stance really wide with with his arms something not normally you see with athletes well he’s got really great shoulder Mobility you can see that he doesn’t need to create the space for his shoulders with his hips quite often you’ll see athletes with a really wide stands with their feet they’re doing it because they’re trying to create space with their hips because their shoulders can’t get there Jake FL Bailey [Music] J that’s nice and composed from Jake La far left to the screen the black shirt it’s a really good strong pull [Music] PL happening with our first pair 6 and 1 half minutes down from all its head down to bont you know what watching these athletes take on this event for the second heat in a row I am seeing no reps on no Reps for these overhead squats I think it’s tough when you’re trying to move quickly and when you’re trying to move efficiently you’re really skirting the line with depth and opening those hips up at the top I’d say the judges are doing a great job trying to keep these athletes accountable but it is so disappointing and heartbreaking to watch a no rep especially towards the end of it these athletes are tired and they’re struggling through it trying to say mentally locked in as you’re getting no rep through these sets I can’t imagine how they’re feeling right now tired exhausted sore what else we got defeated probably a little bit Jesse Ward with a great set of overheads squats before partnering up with Jake law Jesse another one of those athletes with a narrow stance and a wide overhead position like that where are we up to how we got to go I know there’s one team in particular that may be sitting on top of the leaderboard who have got a very exciting speed on this actual event have to wait a couple more Heats to get there apparently it’s going to blow the event record out of the water and done Jesse War Jake law for the motor star strength [Music] team Mitch Clark ad carit your next pair Ryan Le and me Davis for greater West Jordan Bailey Bri Johnson for iron [Music] body Sammy Mo and Ben wardwell have finished up now in Lane number [Music] eight ke Vanella Richard’s done Arina Dan Potter I shouldn’t laugh it is difficult to move those boxes and it’s just little things like that that you get from competition experience like where is the equipment going on the floor what are the standards of the floor layout as an athlete that’s stuff that you need to know but it’s also the stuff that frustrates you as well as an athlete like when things don’t work out how do you knock that stuff out of your brain and try and refocus like you’ve got to move a box it shouldn’t be that hard but you’ve just exhausted yourself for the last 9 minutes just move the Box well it’s little bits like that in training the athletes at this level you know if you if you’re practicing the event then practice little things like moving a cone or where you have to be placed on the floor that almost replicates competition so that you’re used to not just standing in your little square and doing it [Music] interesting that the box was chosen as an Implement just making it that little bit harder if it’s rolling a barbell down or doing something it’s going to be pretty easy but big awkward object with sweat involved it’s going to be pretty hard why use a little cone when you can get a giant box out and move that alaro and Mari for 168 Alexandria done as well Dylan Jolene for Mecca white underway for all teams pass a halfway point workwise TimeWise we are way over that and it’s funny being here in this open air Arena at to at the Tan Pro because when the sun comes out it gets so much brighter it does it was dark and glooming in here this morning with the rain the sun is starting to come out [Music] 1140 Mitch Clark passing over to ad [Music] carwiz no she just didn’t dye her hair pink for today she has her pink there normally it’s just a thing she does 80 lots of experience as a competitor individually and [Music] team Kieran power far out pit malan you talk about centering that barbell he has got it nailed Kieran power great with the barbell but what a rock solid overhead position he’s got very little movement up top the bottom half is doing all the [Music] work in the heavy diesel fitter he knows heavy Christy bar part of the 35 to39 Brigade another one of our special moms on the floor they just struggling with a little bit of [Music] depth Jing standards are on pointsan Pro oh they’re getting away with nothing she goes deeper on that next one but she did a whole bunch of reps that didn’t count and that is going to really hurt his [Applause] shoulders couple of minutes remaining of our second of four [Music] Heats greater West Center of screen in lane four Emily fenick portelli on screen [Music] [Applause] pelli oh look at that Focus now we talk about positions you want to look to on the ground he’s obviously focused on a line or something on the floor cuz his gaze has not moved is that something that is dependent on a good lift preferably looking at something up ahead that is not moving to help with that stability spin slightly down and eyes forward focused on something that you can find even if it’s just a line on the floor up ahead apologies reum Kiri not great to West getting ahead of himself talk about nicknames James portelli’s got them all Jim Jimmy Jimbo Jim Bob jumbo Jamina Bob you want to throw anything in there there I like Jamina Jamina I think it’s great I wonder if he has personalities to go with each of those nicknames well one of his Hobbies is talking rubbish so I think he might he makes really dumb bets too cuz he’s got a VB tattoo for those of you who don’t know what a VB tattoo is VB is a brand of beer out here Victoria bidder I wonder where he put that VB t whoo maybe that’s what he’s looking for would we say the equivalent of a VB tattoo for Americans would be a bud tattoo a what a bud tattoo oh bud bud what yes absolutely the final 10 seconds of this heat and what a battle all of our teams have had so far in the last two hats [Music] and this is going to be tough to finish okay I’ve just heard from Bella Martin apparently a Natty light tattoo whatever Natty light is we’ll get to that in the next Heat no doubt the teams progressing further and further each heat we get into event number four the second last event of our team competition at the Tan Pro second day of competition saw these teams get that bit further little less issues with that overhead squat weight 56 kilos for the women 84 for the men 125 lb and 185 lb proving difficult after all the work they did yesterday but not for Sammy Mo Jan Bailey slap this is where the Box goes and that’s how you move it it’s easy just with some great overhead position it’s funny how some people struggled with the box and some just didn’t but when you know it’s coming it’s good to practice it and then it’s not a surprise on the day [Music] the strategies get rejigged for the teams that are coming on in the next two Heats do they stick to their original strategy have they seen maybe the accumulation of fatigue over the last three events from yesterday carry over you’re a little bit sore you’re a little bit busted up I don’t know we saw that with iron body on screen Karen power having no problem with his over he’s partner just getting all those no reps the 90 seeming to be the problem child of this event to two Heats down two to come day two of the Toran pro pro plenty of going on here plenty of pink as well we’ll be back very soon [Music] bre [Music] for 202 L [Music] gent welcome back to the competition floor for our athletes in Heat number three event for the second last event of the day for our team competition Jeremy Austin pit Malone Bella Martin with you this is second last Event Event number four three rounds the time of a male female pair one doing a 30 C and 30 overhead squats and number two will do one round of a 90 C and 90 overhead squats for the men 185b 885 kilo and for the women 125 57 kilo a 16-minute Time cap and all teams so far have needed way more than [Music] that is anyone going to go anywhere near our time to beat from Crossfit prisana kga 1310 but goak steps for Success athlete order and keep some reps in the tank as we saw with our previous heat athletes starting to fail those overhead squats is what was keeping them from moving ahead dep’s becoming a [Music] [Applause] [Music] problem BR Martin CR Tes leading the charge on the runs yesterday leaving his team in his wake they are in Lane number one a little surprise Packers from the Gold Coast with our good friend zek Gro for CrossFit carve they had a good Heat win yesterday as well the run and the worm [Music] [Music] thrusters and yes today is a pink competition raising awareness for domestic [Music] violence he three of the teams bringing the pink the entire amazing lot of them all in pink well joh and Mike having Hannah Clark as an ex competitor 2019 of the Tan Pro we recommend people come with a splash of pink tell on some of them I can’t talk I’m head to toe but a lot of people have gone to a lot of effort to make sure they’re representing small steps for Hannah such an important cause everyone here in southeast Queensland and right across Australia such a devastating story want to raise awareness by Hannah Clark and her three children Lanna and Trey great to see so much pink out and about [Music] today exf 2 with some very Heavy Hitters Alex heroini Matias Huli they are going to be ones to beat improve their prowess on Bosley for East tamy Renegades getting to work Palmer that is a wonderful overhead position and no one up she’s an under 59 kilo weight lifter from New Zealand there you go that is a strong overhead position as is oh Jimma Ellis she’s really rock solid in the shoulder stability still got to get those hips down below parallel can’t forget the bottom half the last three people on screen are all parents and all from New Zealand how good gal is not but he’s got a wonderful hairo loving the pink in the hair today Cur absolutely outstanding [Music] [Applause] position an exf 2 no surprise cron Millard in the exf 2 team as well partner to Jack Jeffrey he’s currently leading the team competition with his team tan Mayhem BR Martin getting back to work on the row hero Winnie I would hate to be that rower but wait wait till Matias gets on there if rowers had feelings which I’m sure they do it would be shaking well for some of these big guys 30 cal row can get it done really quick and if overhead squats aren’t particularly difficult for them then using a bit more power on that rower isn’t going to hurt Aiden toi sprinting back to his rower from plus 64 crossed pump and dump another good day from them yesterday and showing experience does count Shaya getting to work now bottom of the [Applause] screen Chay getting to work out most days with partner Jack Jeffrey actually started back with me about five or six years ago down the goal Coast but her progression since going to cross toan has been amazing nearly as amazing a cirs Palmer’s overhead position I don’t get sick of seeing that holding her breath as she goes down keep that stability through the midline it’s like a piston oh she knows exactly what she’s [Applause] doing in the background for carve you can see Nicola batti with also a beautiful overhead position close grip Taurus has really impressed me that down the bottom of the screen freezing hot cross with wonderful head to R Martin overhead squatting as he passes on but it is exf 2 our first team to move on to the third round Alex heroini the team member who is starting the next row must move the Box any team member can move the Box and again that difficult position of moving in odd objects I like these little intricacies that have been added into the team events like moving a giant box instead of a small chest piece or cones and then even the small touch of the athlete that moves a box is the one that has to go to the row off [Music] [Music] [Music] one of our New Zealand teams Smith Kaya Smith getting to work with rir more on that let’s go to Bella I’m loving watching Kaya this weekend they came in as a new team between two of the athletes Emily Julian and Roman Blackman they barely have five years of total CrossFit experience together this is their first time competing on an elite competition floor specifically here in the Pro field at the Toran Pro it’s fun to watch them kind of figure out how to navigate being on a team they’re great team athletes when it comes to these local or national level competitions phenomenal athletes on their own but I’ve truly enjoyed watching them throw down and try to figure it all out as they’re working through it and I tell you what it’s the second day of competition here for tooran pro a new team being in almost the top heat but in the center of the floor that’s got to feel really good for these guys moving forward out into the next season here Maya one of those teams to watch in the coming years two ex rugby players you can’t really go wrong Bryson ran that rugby background Here’s exf 2 your leaders third heat of four one more to come after this one freezing hot Brandon [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gasal Taylor McDonald about to pick up the bar bit of a break between athletes and Reps that was interesting maybe they just need a little bit more rest Shay [Applause] [Music] Alex and Over The Line 752 so not a bad split time taus they’re not far behind oh Teamwork Makes the Dream workor C Regan done just over 8 minutes car Cas Tyler McDonald and Brandon gasal they are done now for freezing hot CrossFit a lot more time for our competitors at the back end the 0 calro the 90 overhead squats schwarz’s CrossFit Melbourne Poppy and Elliot they are done [Music] [Music] K making really good work of those overhead squats three of our New Zealand teams still on the floor left K Meer front pump and dump Kyler McKenzie and Aiden toak oh I love it I don’t think that’s what the CH doing that for he was holding the the other team but kind of sing the opportunity to give the judge a high five and so you short they do a great job on the competition floor she is just a ray of sunshine I love it oh between her and Poppy hay tell this heat amazing see gra he’s going to be hating this row he loves an overhead squat though doesn’t he what interesting the partnership L and also zek Grove for CrossFit car two of the smaller athletes I thought they might have mixed that up a little bit and put Mitch with Laura maybe but obviously they know a strategy way better than me Lee Martin bottom of screen Travis Williamson for the left I don’t know about you P but I can smell a barbecue I was thinking the exact same thing that’s just cruel got a barbecue in here but we can’t have any [Music] 16 minute time cap our time to beat CrossFit frana krier 1310 they must have been overhead squatting like demons cherd broy Scots talk about the old and the young gford Gabby [Applause] Nappa we know naer is going to have absolutely no problem with those overhead squats oh can’t wait to see what she can do with it 100 kilo snatch at 17 years old I was I was actually there when she did it and the whole crowd was just Gob smacks the Jaws hit the ground I didn’t even know what a overhead squat was when I was [Applause] 17 Mar denore and Matias moley don’t worry about exf 2 they going to come storming home Samara competing in the team for CrossFit desire back in 2018 the Kudos Bank Arena in Sydney the last time we saw a regional event [Applause] I’m just going to casually power snatch 185 lbs right tius they must have been confident coming into this event knowing that all four of their team members can overhead squat with no problem I spoke to Moses the affiliate owner Moses Patell who’s in exf team and he said don’t worry about what these guys are going to do they are just going to bring I went here they are you go I’ve done my 40 Travis looks like he just dipping forward that sway in that barell overhead what fatigue first is it the rear shoulder muscles is it your core is it your grip oh look what whatever is your weak point really but as I’ve said from what they did yesterday you can really see a lot of these athletes struggling through the midline got a really narrow grip there nice shoulder Mobility that narrow grip though makes it really hard on the midline because you’re having to rely on it more to stabilize through the middle leash with that great [Music] Mobility Z GR with his narrow grip no one’s no ripping him on his squat depth today let me tell you the whiz Callum gford Swiss army knife jack of all trades master of crushing Souls we need to ask him how he got that nickname I think he just gives himself nicknames James portelli from the previous heat from reim kir I think he’s maybe in the front number of nicknames per person that’s great position from her at such a young age she just CED a no rep on one of those just moving a little bit too fast yeah they’re going to struggle with the depth they’re going to struggle with extension more I think a lot of these athletes they’re not struggling with the depth because they can’t squat below parallel they’re trying to get up and out of the bottom quick so they have less time under tension but they got to realize that they do need to get down there for the judge to see before they stand up final minute of competition second last event for the teams exf 2 have got to be close tomorrow’s already yeah five to go Ex exf two but a no [Applause] rep and the last thing you need is an overhead squat we’re going to have a team finish the event record CrossFit for kga from

squats exf to fire much faster out of the gate for heat three of the teams but it’s that set of 90 that seems to really be slowing them down some great overhead positions across the floor putting on an overhead squat Clinic exf 2 [Music] though their first pairing on those sets of 30s really just set them up for [Music] [Applause] Success moving the giant box across the floor it should be the easiest part of it but some sometimes it’s becoming the hard AR Samara dinmore s samly Ah that’s what you want to run home to your team Smiles are plenty the ties make sure you going and get sorted

though that’s some of athletes are pretty much there that’s a good point Ben Gard just made me think of it where do you put your damper that’s an interesting one we’ll get to in a little bit but our lane assignments for our fourth and final heat event number four tan Mayhem and Mayhem thunder in Lanes four and five both equal on 288 points exf the first team from exf they’re about 20 minutes

through with it to Roy Laura Clifton hang on we’ got less range of movement here and we know how much she can shift interesting she’s going first we love Laura clipon with the barbell in hand she is so strong and can she move absolutely Rock Solid overhead I think it’s smart putting her first gets some the time under your belt Jack Fleming all he wants to do is overhead squat come on give it up liio angelucci Tri Northern beaches daring about the row surprised he didn’t do the 90 Cal [Music] row James Thomas with Brent working with Katie Brock but our side the move they needed to make and Laura sprinting back to start of the row KH not too far behind wouldn’t be a semi-final regionals without KH sprinting down a competition floor now would it talk to me about elbows and Rowing especially with Laura those elbows seem to be just spraying out a little look Laura Clon has really strong legs can’t see it from this angle but they’re doing a lot of work she’s just finishing off the pool there probably spaying out the elbows a little more than what a lot of people are taught to do but it’s no problem for her she’s so strong and powerful also games qualifier kton for Affiliates our side part of the 64 Army setup they are looking really good oh 1940 Blake Atkins [Applause] Vali me rowing that sort of thing would be almost the max effort they’re doing it comfortably Jack Fleming coming to the bar Laura Clifton just getting ahead of Emily Dy Laura Clifton also is really low on her squats giving her judge no problem Emily Dy is copped a few no reps now on her depths she’s going to be doing a lot of extra reps Laura Clifton’s physique is very similar to someone else in this field for Mayhem Thunder and that is car saers I can’t wait to see what’s coming up for the one round of 90 and 90 Shere Meyers getting to work the tribe Northern beaches [Music] [Music] Emily Dy still popping those no reps on her dep that is going to hurt the fatigue on the legs out

those extra reps just caught up with Emily Dy those last [Music] couple keep in mind they still have a caraus in their T and we know Mr James hury has got a fairly big engine and he’ll probably sit on

leaderboard [Applause] incredible that is an unbelievable performance what a deficit to make up our side and Holly Hardy slaps the box as she goes down cuz she knows how important that is [Music] oh what a way to finish an event with Cara Saunders overhead squatting the [Applause] house the battles kill still continue exf this lead B shakeer is going to get a little bit oh they’re close are they going to be close [Music] enough unofficial time of 1427 for EF now where tooran Mayhem end up after this and the Damage may have been lessened a little 1457 they’re still going to be fourth place remembering three qualifying spots for teams going to the CrossFit Games in August Dicky Arena Texas Fort Worth draing grit AR in chocolate box just after them wsman and Vander felden getting in well under that 16 minut time [Music] cap Benny Gard Drive Northern beaches and Emily Aton for Fitness alley our last two athletes on the floor as we hit our time cap holy doly not the only thing heating up here it’s not surprising at all that our side with a team to shake things up that’s what they do best Laura Clifton taking the chunk of those overhead squats and they were well under paac to get that event record fit catching up now arite sitting on 240 points 48 points back from the lead oh Roy done he put in some work in that round of 90 90 K row almost Max effort and then a whole lot of overhead squats J green Georgia wisman for chocolate box finishing up exf they’re going to progress forward up that leaderboard let’s head down to the competition floor with Bella Martin Mayhem Thunder we came in today tied for first you obviously have a lot of fans in the house KRA first things first are we having fun we’re having so much fun yeah Thunder that’s a dad joke I’m not actually I’m not going to say I was we’re obviously having fun Emily you were out the gate first who decided the pairs and how did that go for you guys uh well K’s being in charge of pretty much everything so far I think um so he decided on our pairs myself and Cara are both pretty strong squatters overhead squarters as well um so it would be silly to not put us obviously separately she’s got massive strength endurance there so it would be smart to put her on the 90 myself I can have a little rest and just keep on going so that’s kind of how we decided who was going to go where and then the boys just sent the row I didn’t touch the row it was great it was great con I heard your team was sub2 in training what went differently on the floor here at Pat rafter versus when you were training down at home uh probably a little bit of extra volume beforehand here we had a judge and uh having to move the box as well so there you go guys keep those reps clean in the gyms you won’t have to worry about no reps on the floor clean reps moving a box Everything Changes last thing James we’ve got got one workout or event left to go feels weird ending on a Saturday I’m used to seeing you light up the flames on a Saturday night can we expect a little bit more from you guys for the last event of the day oh absolutely uh we’re pretty fired up the good thing about um all coming from Individual backgrounds like we’ve all adapted to high volume so having it done in two days we’ve still got heaps of gas in the tank if it went for another day it would all be good to go so one event left we’ll put it all out on the floor and you guys are in for show later tonight at 7:30 spoken like a true Games Team guys thank you give it up for Mayhem [Applause] Thunder impressive impressive impressive I actually I’ll make it four impressives cuz there’s four of them on the team I told you they probably didn’t move the Box in training you did that was it just moving the Box cost them minutes oh can we talk about our side though oh they were just exceptional they just got that experience now as a team Laura Clifton you know she’s been around for a bit now and she’s just so great with a barbell she’s so strong and powerful and a great team leader as well I like how unassuming Jack Fleming is as well he just gets to work he gets told go do this okay I’ll go do it no monkey business we’re in many did you hear that do as many as you can so interesting strategies they might be changing on the flly with the strategies it obviously worked for them and that vent record it was so [Applause] close finishing their bit and then it was like dancing for the rest of it Roy done vorian Mayhem absolutely going to town on that rower if you’ve got a row that is the guy you want to do [Music] it very fitting to have car Saunders bringing it home the Thunder taking the frontt of those 90 overhead squats go go go go go know they didn’t have to rush they could just casually stroll down the floor laed it up and that’s what it means to come first in your heat and overall in fact at the tan pro day two of competition our heat for results a lot more teams getting the job done Mayhem Dunder 1342 our side important result for them and exf they are going to continue their rise up that leaderboard Mayhem Gritz and now final team chocolate box star strength about 35 seconds underneath that time cap

go they’ve just done one event we’ll find out this afternoon who is going to go to the CrossFit Games in August this year representing the Oceania semifinal and a tough old event four for the teams oh event four was a tough all right those overhead squats just getting the better of most of our teams out there we had a couple of Heats when no one finished of course our top heat though exciting stuff from Mayhem Thunder Big Time some exciting stuff coming from the individuals as well splash of pink right around the arena special day today when we paint the pro pink we remember former Tan Pro competitor Hannah Clark and her three kids Ali Aliana and Trey all Spectators [Music] competitors asked to wear a splash of pink and we’ve seen some wonderful representations of that right throughout our crowd I on a little bit more excitement than that come [Music] on oh he’s getting ready for [Applause] tonight individuals coming back out no Zack Thomas unfortunately yesterday had an SVT attack super ventricular attack of cardia so we won’t see Zack Thomas back in competition this is event number three for the individuals the final event for the day seven rounds for time 10 Cal Echo Bike One Legas rope climb 10 box jump overs and back again for one legless rope climb 30-in box 15t rope for the gentlemen 16-minute time cap no final rope climb the athletes will just keep rocking down the competition floor to finish our STS to success all thanks to go rock manage grip fatigue and fast transitions now seen over and over again each year of CrossFit semi-finals what the grip fatigue can do to an individual’s finish on a road climb event well we throw it back to the Cross hit games with Rich Fring and Matt Fraser they know exactly what it feels like to lose your grip Zack Thomas will not be appearing on the competition floor in Lane one but great event previously from the athletes in this heat none other than Jake Douglas is down the far end Riley Martin on this end Conor Smith look like he’s ready to set his watch sure why we’ve got chip timers we got you covered there Ry m is about to box on every minute of every heat of every day we’ve got you covered with our broadcast wherever you’re tuning in right around the world thank you for your company our wonderful crew down here the Oceania region providing you with some wonderful pictures they did last night some of the best we’ve ever seen in any event worldwide Nathan Cordon he is in a massive rush to get things rocking flinking your Miss Road [Music] [Applause] CL seven rounds 10 Echo by calories one legless Road clb 10 box jump overs that box extremely high and there’s a skill to it yeah that extra high box jump deceiving got to use a lot more explosive power to get your knees up high and onto the Box we’re going to see that take effect on the echo bike with the fatigue Nathan Cordon go coaster former rugby league player back to the Echo Bike first let’s talk strategy for a minute there’s probably four or five different strategies you could use firstly let’s talk about Echo Bike how do you attack that do you go guns blazing get the Cals done recover on the other implements or do you just cruise I don’t think you can go guns blazing on the Echo Bike simply because of the height of those box jump overs you really have to keep some reserves in the tank to make sure that you can get up and on those box majority of these athletes are not going to have any trouble with their one legless rope climb they’ve only got to go up once which is nice but it’s this box jump over that I think is deceiving Max Le he’s over there in Lane number four and he’s popping up and just stepping straight down look bit of little parkour going on athletes different strategies of where they put their feet Max Lee seems to be working for him cuz he’s actually not working as hard I really liked his technique quick turnaround he was already facing the right direction he didn’t leave a leg lagging up the top to long it’s all those little things that really do play into your energy levels throughout this event and that box found out how difficult it was to move in team competition the added some to it to make it even harder to move Le still in the lead now he’s taking a number of hand positions get up that rope you want to spend more or less time on the Rope always less time on the Rope I liked how he was bringing his knees up really high and using his legs to propel him up the Rope they’re not allowed to have their legs on the Rope though but he’s doing such a great job with these box jump overs he’s staying facing forward as he jumps over and then really quick step down with the front foot and a quick turn around you’ll see some of the other athletes they’re jumping sideways and then turning it’s working for him I like it obviously something he’s practiced head down to the floor with Bella watching these box step Downs has been really exciting you touched on it Max is doing it differently than almost the entire rest of the field here he’s staying facing the top of the box staying very tall and he’s keep he’s almost doing a Bulgarian split squat to get down because the box is so tall and he’s not on the taller side as an athlete I’ll tell you I think it’s probably saving his hip flexors a little bit so he can move and get back on that bike he looks the most calm I’ve seen him all weekend long so far happy to see him finding kind of hitting his stride a little bit here we’ll see if he maintains that same body positioning on this fourth round of the box it might be the key and we’ll see if anyone else in the following Heats do it too to stay tall and stay close onto that box kind of limits the energy use here no I agree Bella I think also what’s on his side is that he’s really explosive as you said he’s not one of the taller athletes out there but you can see how explosive he is off the ground he’s having no trouble jumping to that height he’s also really quick with his hands up the rad which tells me that these sorts of movements are his Jam some of your bigger athletes taller athletes it might be better with a heavy barbells just a little bit slower up onto that box a little bit slower you look at the difference between his cycle time on the box and that to you know someone who looks completely different Jake Douglas Max is bounding over the top of the box taking one breath and getting back up you see an athlete like Jake who we know to be very very fit but he has taken a step and a breath maybe two and then getting back onto the Box Max really putting on a performance here on what to do for this event to be successful pip if you’re thinking recipes for Success we might just talk to Max later about it definitely I’d love to know what his secret is to being that agile but as we say with lifting events you know Mass moves Mass but then in CrossFit they’ve got to do these body weight movements and then they’ve got to move their own mass as well and how well can they do that the Rogue Echo Bike is piece of equipment that everyone loves to hate and truly versatile warm up on it get a longer zone two work at end 30 seconds it can destroy you for an entire day watching these athletes on Echo Bike absolutely incredible the way they’re moving Rogue is the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] Max Le part of that CrossFit Wen gong gang includes the like of Zack Thomas luk deong he’s not moving fast but he’s moving so efficiently I was just thinking that Jeremy he’s so efficient his movement patterns have not changed throughout each round his box jumps have looked the same throughout he’s just cruising on that bike which is what he needs to do because the box and the Rope is where it’s at it’s only 10 calories which is not a lot for these guys they can get through it very quickly as we can see the hand is in the air already Max Le Nathan Cordon Riley Martin your top three in our first heat of the individual men’s [Music] competition five Heats of men five Heats of women will see off individual competition for the day and our final evented team competition Max Lee still with that great box jump technique you could see on the screen Andrew Stell next to him one of the bigger athletes he was just having a little more trouble heaving up onto that box having to use a lot more energy to get himself up there Le is just so agile Max Le’s favorite workout is murf and pretty apt with Memorial Day coming up in the US where a lot of gyms worldwide get in and do the very very tough workout M the first hero workout established by CrossFit not sure what that is just jump on the Google if you’ve seen Lone Survivor the movie you know exactly who Michael Murphy is Max Le [Music] really setting the standard early in heat [Applause] one he picked up the pace on that Echo Bike he’s looked the start the same from start to finish on that rope 16 minute time cap this is going to be super [Applause] [Music] quick outside the event record yellow Hoster from the Europe semifinal the Franks throw down last week a winner go oh Heat number one for event three max Le’s in just on 30 check out all your official results head to GameStop crossfit.com Ry Martin finishing up Nathan Cordon now to your top three from the start continues down the floor sble now struggling a little K good love you B go coaster Nathan [Applause] Cordon shout out to the kids who are watching on obviously Jake Douglas looks like he’s got Springs in his shoes a lot of distance between him and the bottom of that box sorry the top of the box Jake Douglas he’s a big man he’s got a lot of M to get up onto that box also important to note the athletes are not allowed to put their hands on their legs and push off their quiet Douglas over the line Johan Roberts finishing up two athletes still remaining Connor Smith Andrew sell still four minutes on our cap and a requirement [Music] now cross it Games Team box step Downs only you jump onto the box but step Downs are the [Music] [Applause] requirement with a step down really seems to be the part of this box jump over that is hurting some of these big athletes it’s almost like eccentric loading on one leg stepping over the other side they aren’t able to Spring down jump down like they normally would be able to sble nearly done one rip REM mining and he’s going the wrong way no last rope clb required that was a bit of extra running he did not want to do I’m sure the C has started to cramp up a little bit [Music] Conor Smith CrossFit chasing better Western Australia only one rope climb and 10 box jump overs to go Connor [Applause] Smith he’s got two minutes left of the six minute cap to get it done Conor Smith back in the day to start CrossFit finds a video of Ben Smith are you going to find someone with better movement than Ben Smith it’s a very good example to have if you’re an intro to CrossFit is Ben Smith oh big time that’s what got him into the sport head coach of CrossFit chasing [Music] better jumping down on that second last rep doing an extra Conor Smith finishing up feels like an eternity since Max Lee’s finished Max Le wow interest see how that time goes against the Heats that are coming up next he was looking so efficient though from start to finish really good game plan on that Echo Bike didn’t go out too hot Jake Douglas also cruising along Cru first round but Max Lees one he got on that box he was not touched again [Music] really efficient stepover technique and he just didn’t slow down he looked like that the whole way through he said his favorite workout was MF no surprise at all that he likes body weight movement absolutely not it’s soow down to Bella quickly just chatted with Max and I said hey where did this step down technique come from why do you do it that way how did it come to be and he goes well I actually did it as a joke for an Instagram video and then we figured out it was faster and more efficient so I used it out here imagine figuring out a new technique for something so simple like a box step down for an Instagram video and that tells you there’s a new crop of athletes on the come up learning how to play the game here seems to be the way to go learn stuff online these days what do you reckon but it’s working for Max Le 1028 the new time to beat in the Oceania region Ry Martin Nathan Gordon making up your top three Jake Douglas with an 1140 heat one done heat two just around the corner we’ll be back soon [Music] [Music] is [Music] welcome to the floor he number two tackling event three seven rounds for time 10 Cal on the Echo by one leg rope Prim 10 box jump overs at 30 in and one legless rad Prime to finish no rad Prime to finish the final round athletes will just progress after their box jump overs and step Downs so the finish line 16 minutes on our time cap time to beat 1028 from Max Le finding new ways to do stuff online who would have thought our steps to success thanks to go rock manage grip fatigue and fast transitions I think that fast transitions can apply to your step down on the box as we just saw with Max Le [Music] [Applause] [Music] elen assignments for our second of five Heats for the individual male competition and a number of athletes taller athletes that are going to benefit from this rope climb Tim Davis one of those Toby Crouch Isaac Newman [Music] but one of the shest men in the field Max Le showing us how it’s done in he one at the 1028 [Applause] finish Ry closest to screen and I know the cows are important to get moving early Harrison doing a great job of ripping the handles pretty quickly to get the wheel spinning and then just get into a nice easy Rhythm as we said with the last Heat it is only 10 calories and all these male athletes can get those done very quickly with just a few hard pushes at the start and then just cruise at the last seven or so are we going to see any online Instagram strategies here I wonder if any of them asked Max Le about his transition technique as he was coming back out that’s something that we need to discuss you find something online that’s great you’ve obviously got to go away and practice it on the competition floor in the middle of an event is probably the not the best way to bring something new into your training oh definitely not unless it’s a last resort because nothing else is working for you you know you want to try these things in training first this higher box jump over with the step down is something that these athletes would have had to have been practicing in their gyms at home first so they knew what effect it was going to have on their body Toby Crouch brother of Jay first time both brothers have been in the same competition and the same division and doing it very easy for on the younger crowd brother let’s head down to Bella the younger Crouch brother who has an absolute opposite perspective of the sport than his older brother Toby shared that he really doesn’t take it too seriously just kind of seeing what he can do but he’s definitely learned a lot from Jay you can see in his step down method he does it very similarly to his brother his brother’s the king down here so it kind of makes sense I would take lessons from him too if I was going to listen to anybody doing it saving a little bit of time probably bringing his heart rate down too as he’s through it’s clearly going really well for the young athlete I’m happy to see him out here on the floor and what you said about Toby having a different perspective on CrossFit to his brother look I think it works for him out here he’s so relaxed he clearly enjoys what he does and do there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing it for fun at this level doing it for fun at this level is all you know we chatted about it earlier with all the athletes that got the back fill there’s no pressure you’re doing it for fun well go have fun figure out how to do these events the best you possibly can and just have a good weekend you’re here at the torum pro doesn’t really get better than that third event for our individuals a big day of competition for our third and final day tomorrow 600 points in total 300 points of them coming tomorrow we’re just to easing the Indies in we’re about to spit out the team [Applause] competitors the teams have really cocked it haven’t they but the individuals are only a small part of the way through a massive [Applause] weekend that massive 30in box Newman leading Pat number two and the rope 15 ft the athletes look like they are doing it so easy it’s like a little bit of a Slowdown method Adrian Bosman seen anyone really struggle Newman split times four 16 a little bit slower than our event record holder yellow hosta the fren throw down last week the European semi-final I think a majority of these athletes would agree that only having to do one legless rope climb at a time is a really nice rep scheme probably a few of them that have a strong point the legless rope climb might have been hoping for a couple more just to be that spacer but none of these athletes having any issue at all accumulation of fatigue as well 13 over a 16 minute time cap your Call’s going to be pretty shredded individuals really working their core hard in the previous event with the Toto bar not been able to use the [Applause] legs malaney Toby Crouch and Isaac Newman your top three in this heat Tim Davis sty hanock and now Jack [Music] Laker will be done with this round now stopping the chalk precious seconds giving up to your competitors in your heat oh we we know with the legless roope climb that making your way all the way up the top to then slip down before you’ve actually touched the top and made the rep count is crucial so stopping a chalk no problem at all rogo bike piece of equipment that everyone loves the hate including myself truly is pretty versatile though warm up on it get a longer Zone to work it in if you want I’ll have 30 seconds to destroy you for an entire day watching the athletes on the Echo Bike is absolutely incredible the way they’re getting through their work Rogue the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit [Music] Games Newman two rounds ahead of [Applause] him that rope want it easy Crouch and malany the three athletes in the [Music] lead is there a time is there a round where you’re level pegging like Toby Crouch Isaac Newman and Ryan malan are currently where you go right now I’m Going Hammer down and I’m going to see what happens I think they’re coming up in it now Jeremy once you’ve got you know four or five rounds safely and you know where your fatigue levels are at you know you’re not going to fail any road climes it’s time to push the hammer a bit on that Echo Bike red lining is applicable some stages you don’t want to get to the point where you can’t actually physically do anything post Echo Bike Crouch Newman malany your leaders [Applause] Harrison roelly on the bike but one round behind he’s in Lane number one far end of the Arena just out of the [Music] shot Crouch and Newman so Isaac Newman is catching up some time on the Rope climbs and the Box not so much on the Echo [Music] Bike level pegging now Newman Crouch alany just behind Newman now jumping ahead SL lightly half a rip ahead Toby Crouch just spending that little bit of extra time on top of the box with an extra step ISAC Newman is he putting the hammer down [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this is going to be a great race to the Finish Newman just ahead as ISAC Newman kept something back in reserve to see what Toby crou would [Applause] do huffle and harvest here’s his gy Isaac Newman remembering no second rope climb at the end of this so one rope clim remaining and that last pesky calerie that refuses to take [Applause] over Newman with a very slight lead Here Comes Toby [Applause] Crouch oh Toby moving quick oh he’s catching slowly the Sprint to the Finish is going to be good level pegging now rep for rep Newman Crouch oh the Sprint finish the boy from wa beting the man from Melbourne oh yeah oh yeah oh loving these tight finishes we’re having it’s almost every heat we love a foot race on a Saturday at the tan PR malaney coming in third just under 11 [Applause] minutes 10:44 unofficial time to that slower than Max [Music] Le Dary hanock will be next finished Jack Laker oh Sprint Tim Davis couple of athletes still on the floor one of those Harrison Ry another at a man part of the bill athletic team [Music] just missed out 30 teams coming to tan pro he was team 31 still qualified as an individual athletic crew from the go coast and the ones here in the crowd very proud of their affiliate owner [Applause] [Music] Ry finishing the open in 73rd and the qualifier coming into this in [Applause] 31st 22y old has got a big [Applause] future and will be better for the experience of being down here on the competition [Music] [Music] floor Newman ISAC Newman just stealing it from Toby Crouch he just spent a little less time on top of that box so really neck and neck on the Echo Bike Toby Crouch actually a bit faster up the road but the fox is where it’s at transitions on and off fast ones chaos how about Toby Crouch though just doing this for fun and still pulling out some really great performances this weekend just sort of like first couple of rounds let’s feel each other out let’s see what we’re both doing here the lead changed four or five times throughout the 16 minutes and Newman first place finish last year the five and seven he had a really good back end to the tum Pro last year we’re going to see him progress up that leaderboard today you think what we’ve seen so far from these first two Heats of men is that you cannot send it too early you need to stay consistent on that box cuz that is where it’s at as you men B time we love a Sprint finish here and we’ve seen a few of them today results of our second of five Heats CL Newman about half a second between him and Toby Crouch Aly Hancock and Davis not too much between Davis and Laker either so Lake a little bit slow to get over the line Davis taking full advantage of that Ry rounding things up 3 minutes under time cap [Applause] two down three to come individual males will continue on with their last event of the day back with more this after this 10 28 all know [Music] individual [Music] [Music] ladies gentl eight number three three coming out to the floor the hangi Curtis cheer squad will be in full [Music] [Applause] voice and a number of athletes in this one to really keep your eye on event 34 the individual males seven rounds 10 cows on the Echo Bike One legless rope climb 10 box chop overs and final legless rope Prime to finish except for the final round 30in box 15t rope and 16 minutes to get the job done our gock steps to success manage grip fatigue and fast transitions are they listening to you oh the ones that have won so far so managing your grip fatigue what does that mean when you get to the echo bik well it’s more on the legless rope climbs not going out too hot spending least amount of time on that rope as possible Al assignments for Heat number three and a number of tall athletes that I’m interested to see how they go we got two tall athletes in the previous heat Isaac Newman Toby Crouch we’ve got Nick Fuentes Loy Park Jake hendri Johan Ben and Zeal on the taller side of things Cameron Gray’s no slouch either and maybe one of those dark horses that could potentially do something special back to competition after being one of those special 2014 athletes at the Pacific Regional now makes his way back here to the Tan Pro 10 years later [Music] and if you haven’t heard us banging on about it there is 15 athletes here at the 2024 toan Pro that were at the 2014 Pacific Regional 10 years ago and I’m just flabber because I was there and there’s no way I would be out there right now it’s unbelievable you reckon we’re a little bit proud of that in fact super proud super proud we’re going to tell everybody continue to tell everybody and look at me Henry Park vanz gray fores the tallest guys can they hold on we’ll wait and see athlet did a fair bit of running yesterday El fatigue is going to be fairly big does that constitute where you put your seat on the Echo Bike in relation to your lactate build up in new quads I don’t think 10 calories for these guys is going to bother their quads too much none of them are going out too hot I think where it is going to affect them is on that higher box jump over and the step down having to create that explosiveness muscles and connective tissue a bit tired and sore from yesterday it’s going to affect that Loy Park Jake Henry in the center of the Arena here for heat three five heat right individual males it’s got to be something to be said for tall people and climbing ropes I think lucky Park the farmer really sent it yesterday need a forklift to come pick him up but he is good to [Music] go oh that last reach I like it Jake hrew he said the start of this heat and the start of the whole event spend as less time as you can on the Rope Jake Henry with a couple of short grabs and then a big long reach I I’m going back easy Muhammad oh that’s going back with run a way back you did that event too didn’t you time Sprint yeah we go back and he was spending milliseconds on the Rope cuz he would jump so high grab it with one hand and then hit the top of the with the other look I think the ideal way to execute a single rope climb event like this where you only have to do one at a time is to have a game plan of how many climbs you’re going to do with your hands see Henry was doing three big jump and then one two three tap the top and he’s straight back down again trying to stick to that is going to manage your time under tension on that rope I am going back to that wonderful 2014 year again we just kept Haring on it it was so good hry doing it [Music] [Music] easy hit coach foret Alo and to buy started training with Luke star back in 2020 Luke star with about 4,000 athletes here who hasn’t trained with Luke star at this point in the Oceania me and you I’ve I’ve competed alongside but not trained with [Music] him andry managing his fatigue well let’s head down to Bella see what’s happening down on the competition floor he’s managing the fatigue very well all of the rounds so far have looked nearly identical once he gets up onto the box it’s a quick little step and rebound right back over the top he is wasting no time here on these step Downs tell you what it’s heating up here and the Sun is finally shining we saw that gorgeous sunset last night so I’m hoping Saturday night ending it out with everything we maybe get a little bit more of that out here you know Jak’s a pretty boring sort of guy cuz he actually told me that he go I was going to say Jeremy he goes I don’t do much I just train a fair bit and hang out with Karen PPS and and just chill out I don’t do a lot so which is interesting I wouldn’t call doing this boring I don’t know if it’s boring I think hey he’s good at doing the things that nobody really wants to do just sit down and be still there you go and look Bella Jeremy just showed me the notes and he actually did write I’m a pretty boring guy and that’s for btim at least he’s honest that’s right we can’t all be sparkly we can’t all be Ricky I’ll tell you that oh Cara McKenzie or pop or poppy he for that matter Rogue Echo Bike piece of equipment that everybody loves to hate truly versatile though can get a good warm up a longer Zone to workout or a Flatout Sprint of 30 seconds it’s going to ruin you for an entire day watching the athletes on the Echo Bike absolutely incredible here at the Tan Pro Ro the official equipment supplyer of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games [Music] Hendry locky Park I thought this two guys that I said would do pretty well in this I think you did I don’t like admitting when you’re right though I like the way Jake Hendry moved yesterday with the running and cleaner jerks vent two little bit of a stumbling block for him this one is going hard as we saw with Le in the first heat this sort of event rewards good movers wasting no time on transitions just a clearcut plan and sticking to it Bella mentions good to be sparkly out there Jake Henry is actually a Sparky electrician by trade gave that up the wonderful world of [Music] Fitness Hendry at 658 to about 22 seconds slower than yellow Hoster the event record for the Europe semi-final last week the French Throwdown in Leon this is week two of competition last week the Far East Throwdown in Busan Korea the Asian semi-final West Coast Classic North American West semi-final going on they have finished day one day two coming in about 12 hours time and Henry doing well to extend the lead between him and L park now this point is where you can push a bit harder on that Echo Bike done all the work you know you can get up that rope now is when you can push I think we just saw the point when he did push cuz his massive Grimace came out on his [Music] face locky Park the hair’s flying [Music] [Applause] that kid’s got an engine and uses panene andry the last rope climb completed andry wants some love from this crowd he’s come home is that something you’ve done ask the CR for a little bit of support on the way through or you just head down bum up get to work I don’t know actually it’s just a moment thing I think I don’t really [Music] remember andrean Park are way out in front for any of their competitors oh 945 little bit slower than yellow [Applause] [Music] hosta set the time to beat we’ve now got three digits instead of four locky park with four digits next to his name coming in after 10 minutes Bailey O’Brien will be next and Loy just going thank goodness it’s not the same event as yesterday isn’t he having a good weekend though Loy Park wow come sixth in the team competition last year you know you’ve got something in there [Applause] [Music] B O’Brien is done just after 10:30 Cameron Dre will be next finished good battle between oh Nick Fuentes oh he’s going to get the jump cuz Cameron Gray’s legs don’t work Cameron gray was using all arms to get up onto that box swimming freestyle hi Tangi Curtis collapsed over the line Johan vanil getting done still a lot of time left on the clock Mel midi who trains with Jake Henry quite a bit in the Middle East Hendry coming in as the second to last male scene in the event and he’s now got the time to beat with 10 to [Applause] go Mikey you just got to keep training buddy we love seeing you down here last five reps [Music] [Applause] Mardi coaching AC cross y who have got a very solid CB the 33-year-old is done and the good mates who train almost daily Jake Hendry performance to go home and brag about Henry with a very stylish event win I thought he went about his business sorry Heat win not event win but I like it stylish because it was stylish he just went about his business from start to finish making no bus and making it look [Music] easy it’s all about pacing on this event not going out too hard and it really is coming down to those box transitions there’s at least amount of time on top as possible as fewer steps as possible to get down and back up again love the way Jay Hendry spent no time on the rope and his stance on the box overs was nice and wide midi earlier on was stepping short so we have to doow an extra step to get over the stance he’s almost falling off the box as he goes down what a great strategy and it’s work to Perfection well he’s got the time to beat right [Music] now you said he was grimacing on that last set of echo I think he was smiling cuz he knew he was going to take it all that he was going to finish K collects the judge on the way through but great result for Jake Henry and Henry we don’t think you’re boring at all results for our third heat two more Heats to come Henry with that sub 10 minute time 16 minutes pretty generous time cap these athletes wiping the floor with it Rocky Park 103 B O Brien 1036 so good top three or your official results head in games.crossfit.com our standings after two events is Jay Crouch out in the lead apologizing to the crowd earlier on for not giving him a better show yesterday that’s okay Jay you’ve done it for the last two years Ricky Gard in second equal with Bailey Mar so that is going to be a battle that top three Pete Ellis jumping now into fourth a bit of a gap back to Zan Shel heing Ben Fowler making a big jump after that last one into sixth Rob Forte still in the top [Music] 10 kangara we have got so many points still left out 300 points tomorrow we know what 300 points can do to a competition from the previous Heats we’ve seen so far of the men what strategies have you seen that have impressed you oh the Box definitely those box transitions the techniques getting up and down fast speed’s probably a factor that hasn’t really come into it transition times have been cut down obviously the Box moves down the floor but the transition time hasn’t really been a mad Sprint so they’re managing their fatigue really well I interrupt you to bring you some cuteness I was just thinking is it time for cucumbers is that cucumber oh not sure what that is should have spray right at the Cucumber pink [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Applause] your [Music] [Music] [Applause] ready [Applause] [Music] [Applause] turn our fourth Heats coming to the floor oh look at that gentleman will Carney shaking the judge’s hand on the way in Take a Bow good sir two more Heats to come of our individual males this is event number three seven rounds of 10 Cals on the Echo Bike One Less rope climb 10 box jump overs one legless rope climb 30-in box 15 foot rope and 16 minutes to get the job done which has been ample time so far time cap not a problem for our males go steps to success manage grip fatigue and fast transitions I think both steps of success have been utilized very well from all of our competitors so far [Applause] [Music] great crowding here at Pat raft arena for day two we paint the pro pink I mentioned will Carney out there fourth place qualifier last year in Lane one keep your eyes on Luke dong however cross hit wenong in Lane three MF as well one of those athletes that could really blow the lid off this thing shevy one of the lighter athletes as well so getting up and down the Rope getting over the Box going to be a lot simple and someone like his countryman Dante kangara who’s quite a hefty unit but with such a strong mustache oh mo game is strong and his Echo by game is strong as well Dante is going to utilize his strength which is going to be the Echo Bike and Tall a oh wow Dante up and down before anyone else hits the Rope this is going to be crazy Conor melani the green and white striped shirt in the center of the arena and Dante using the same strategy as Jake Henry going along and just dropping that front foot down similar to Max Le in the first that’s right least amount of time as possible up the top trying keep that chest up high so your lower black back doesn’t blow out so molan an absolute fan froa glasgo Celtic hence the white and green shirt which he wears everywhere even wears it to [Applause] bed D I think the battle between him and Dante might be a good one J very good in the previous event sneaking along nearly taking out the heat wind and your new leader Luke dong there no surprises for us we’ve seen Luke dong absolutely send it out here at the Tan Pro we know what he’s capable of we also know he’s very good at a body weight workout or event rather like this mvi surprise surprise here he is Dante kangara trying to matching with Luke dong mevki maevi leaving his foot on the box and I think it’s deliberate as a pacing strategy look it’s an interesting tactic it’s working for him at the moment he’s up ahead maybe it’s just something to keep him on Pace jump and then leave your foot there for a split second drop it down I’m too clumsy for that I would have fallen off the box I would have done the max Le’s version but Fallen flat on my face on the far side [Applause] the still your leader two minutes and 40 seconds about 20 seconds slower meski call him the chef I would have thought that one looked like a little bit of a struggle for Luke dong lost his shoes last time he was on the floor to go and borrow James Newber if you remember I do remember so he had a tear on the bottom of his shoes from rope climbs believe it or not this time around it’s not going to be a problem cuz they’re legless and James y be the gentleman that he is offering up his shoes to Luke D James get any nicer Rogue Echo Bike piece of equipment that everyone loves to hate truly is versatile can warm up do a zone two workout or just like me get absolutely ruined in 30 seconds watching these athletes blow through these 10 calories absolutely incredible brogue the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games utilized at the West Coast Classic this weekend as well as dong gets to work Jake Henry about 13 seconds faster than dong after round [Music] two now dong starting to pull away a little bit Dante kangaro second shvy equal with him now Ben Fowler kiwi contingent sticking together Josh to meris and Conor melan in the mix Connor just getting the jump literally on Ben fer Ben Fowler is it going with the single foot Landing technique he jumps up onto one foot leaves the other behind and then steps it down over the other side it’s very efficient as you can see in the background white tank top very J Crouch es seen that before from Jay on this competition floor theong still your leader five rounds down this is the sixth pfy now ahead of kangar melany ahead of Fowler malany there in bottom right in the green and white stripe shirt glas go Celtics Scotland you’re either one or the other either blue or green to Shong he doesn’t seem too phased by what’s around him either he’s just doing what he’s doing D keeping a lot of composure not just then just a no rep his hand hit the box as he went over so he got called for a no rep the athletes not allowed to touch their hands on the box and they’re not allowed to put their hands on their quarts to help them push over the Box got to keep the hands off the body and off the Box dong behind by about 15 seconds that time from Jake Henry of 9:45 might stay intact this is heat four one more heat to come Jay said it in his interview be ready for something special tonight race with him Ricky Bailey Pete Zane it’s going to be epic [Music] Luke dong has picked up his Pace on the Echo Bike he was looking very calm and composed he got through that 10 very fast then did he need to though he’s battling the other Heats he’s well and truly ahead in this one points are up for grabs Jeremy he’s got to do everything he can to give those top guys in the next Heat of run for their [Music] [Music] money y Hoster from the Europe semifinal last week 9919 it’s less than a minute from now dong wants a piece of that he better get [Music] rocking mvi caught up some time and funnily enough he had that bit of chalk in the middle of the Box he’s now picked it up he’s got in his hand how offputting having to position your feet around a piece of chalk and that foot dragging and step down he continuing with it hey it’s working you just keep doing you he hasn’t slowed down [Applause] je back to the Echo Bike and Rogue the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games and I am pretty sure all of these athletes are extremely unhappy that they’re seeing the Echo Bike here this weekend de he wants some love now and work for [Applause] Henry hry now 6 seconds ahead dong with a faster split time mention a pip he started to really get [Applause] going 919 finish time from yellow hosta as well and truly gone as is the time from Jake Henry the second fastest time will be luk L takes hit number four let’s go and that would have been exactly what Luke D was looking to do put up the time to beat for the next shy not too far away and he has absolutely crushed that piece of chalk on top of his box something to contend with it’s really bothering you isn’t it oh big time what if your trip over brought itki over the [Applause] [Music] line pound probably one of the strongest in the field moleni will be next to finish kangaro in the background we haven’t seen a lot of Speedy box jumps up until now melany gets in very respectable time he’s going to have some quiet time in the corner and kangara about to finish up now and he is done just under that 11 minute mark wani he is done for merus and Fowler merus a full round back I don’t think I’d have the capacity to be able to know which foot to put on the box Ben fer doing that one foot step up as he finishes up I’d be just happy just get on the box get over the box but they’re actually breaking it all the way down and they know exactly what’s happening they are and you can really see now Luke mcmah that fatigue is really affecting that efficiency on the box he’s taking a few extra steps gets the job done though 12:03 unofficial time for Luke mcmah 4 minutes under the time cap the meris getting a big cheer from the crowd as he finishes off round number six how to ruin an event of workout put a rogue Echo Bike in it truly mercus turning 22 during quarterfinals number of those athletes that we are going to see around here for a few years to come train M morph in Adelaide [Music] so he’s training with Ellie Hutchins before she moved up to bruis to be part of the tan grit team James Thomas Riley Smith and Katie Brook full-time Carpenter as well to training to side gig using that big swing of the legs to propel himself up the road and this is where movements like a higher box jump over see your efficiency go out the window when you were tired you just want to walk away from the box but you can’t do that you have to stay on it keep those steps minimal you just see the head drop when he got to about four like oh leg burn what a cheer under 4 it’s Josh the verus all done but what a performance Luke [Music] D we’re used to seeing him out here on the competition floor I think we’re going to see Josh out here for a little bit longer now pardon the language Jong currently sitting in seventh position 155 points points and he has done himself all the favors with that one considering there’s only eight athletes to come for the final heat Luke dong is chipping away at that leader board look we have called Saturday Moving Day Luke dong is doing just that today Paul Carman collected it from the start didn’t go out too hard but he kept his pace and then it started to drop the hammer on that sixth round you really did notice it on six and seven Henry had about a 15sec lead over him it got down to about 6 or seven I think you’re not on any of the implements too long like he’s done really well I think you once you pass round five and you’re like right I’m not going to blow out I can go faster two to go just finish it off strong [Music] massive leg fatigue from yesterday 4 K of running 4 km that is and the cleaner jerks done a fair bit of work with the front squ this morning as well [Applause] but I don’t know if you just noticed what he did reached out with his foot he knew exactly where his chip timer was the Jong 9947 2 seconds slower than Jake Henry so he did make up a 13 second deficit in nearly a round and a half mvy impressive melany glco Celtic fan 1045 kangara good for him as well sitting in 10th currently a bit of damage control for Ben F who’s sitting inside the top 10 as well all your official results the games.crossfit.com [Applause] standings for our men after two events sees Mr Crouch the prince of the Pacific back where he knows he belongs not really the same if he’s not at the top is it Ricky gard and Bailey Martin Eagles second Pete Ellis only a few points back and about a 24 point spread back to Zan Shel healing foul and Dong equal points dong depending on what happens now in these Fifth and final Heats could jump himself up a little bit into standings mvi he’s having a great weekend as is Dante kangara 300 points down 300 more to come tomorrow we are nearly at the halfway point of the male individual competition melany with a good result there will jump him up maybe into the the top 10 and Newman don’t forget him Newman with a 1044 Heat number two some Emily Clement fans in the house hopefully they are from [Applause] Adela and the house here absolutely rocking now Fifth and final heat hitting the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] floor and are we

them for the last hour and they’re so valid that they are manage your group fatigue and fast [Applause] [Music] transition Mr Robert for on one end Jack Monahan on the other and be seeing the best of the Pacific right here we know what Crouch Gerard Martin can and have done and Rob Forte as well he has been to the games more times then I’ve had hot dinners [Music] [Applause] [Music] underway the fifth and final heat of our individual male competition for day two of the Toran Pro live from Pat RAF Arena thank you for your company we’re joining us right around the planet H up is the official timekeeper of the CrossFit semi-finals scan the QR code on the screen for a chance to win CrossFit World Tour visiting CrossFit gyms around the planets terms conditions apply you’re in for a show you are about to get one I reckon Ricky Gard is so annoyed at the previous event and he’s going to come out and rip the horns off it oh I agree with you Jeremy I think he is going to come out Full Throttle which he has can he hold on to that pace though garage back now does Ricky Go full send the whole way through these seven rounds well be cast your mind back 24 hours he did just that with an 800 met run and 10 cleaner jerks he didn’t even look like slowing down pace is something I think Ricky’s worked on over the last couple of years he knows when to Red Line and he knows when to pull back Ricky with a great rope climb just one big jump two climbs and he’s off I’m loving the way he’s Box jumping as well he’s staying very upright to me that says he’s done a lot of petric work as he can spring off the floor he very explosive up on the top Bailey Martin going for the low squat on the box we know his legs can handle it and Mr Jay Crouch just that hunched over position smooth and efficient he’s almost crouching as Ricky gets to [Music] work Jay coming back Bailey Martin into second 231 this one is going to be [Music] quick Ry a fair way ahead of where Jake Hendry was you want to separate yourself yesterday Ricky said I want to scare the competition he did yeah yesterday there was a 30 minute time cap though tonight is a lot faster you want to get out ahead but you do not want to blow out too early he’s now opting for that squat on the top that explosive power is going to start at the teag out so really interesting strategy obviously Ricky b i lot of homework on this event in [Music] particular now Bailey Martin was very fast on that box he did not slow down very explosive he’s actually caught up to Ricky a fair bit he’s only half a rope climb behind are we going to see Bailey Martin sneak into the lead here at some stage J Crouch it must be so difficult because you know your capacity and you’ve got these people that you want to beat and they’re in front of you by milliseconds and you’ve got to sit there and control yourself and use your strategy and we’ve seen it time and time again over the years on events where there’s a less roope climb involved and a bike or either or and you can just go out too hard and not have enough left for the race the [Music] end Gard back up the row rope and moving his way forward let’s head down to the floor with Bella Martin Jack Monahan putting on a performance again he’s in Lane eight he’s in second right now behind Ricky we’re always talking Ricky Jay Bailey but Jack is in the mix now too if he’s going to run anybody down he’s going to run down Ricky we’re not even we’re just a little over halfway through this event and I’m telling you what it’s still anyone’s game my eyes are on Bailey but Jack’s giv him a run for his money Bella it was so weird seeing Jack Monahan yesterday looked like he was in a world of hurt on those runs but what a performance and mixing with the big dogs here bit of a struggle on that last rope f for Monahan but Ricky Gad Bailey Martin search of a program to support your fitness goals visit roguefitness.com iron game programming options created by decorated athletes and coaches to help you meet your training [Music] goals now Ricky was looking for Jay just now at the end of his Echo B cows I think the trash talk earlier is paid off the race is on what’s the number one rule don’t poke the bear Ricky now making sure he had a look to see where Bailey was so 3 and 1 half box jumps ahead of Bailey Martin Jack Monahan coming strong just out of view Jake Crouch now in fourth athletes on the floor running out of rounds Ricky one Bailey two Monahan still in third having trouble with his box oh about a second between gard and Mark no rep for Jay crouch in the middle of the Arena which is going to be crucial losing precious seconds look I could be wrong but Bailey Martin is looking in a little bit better condition than Ricky Gard right now Ricky looks like he’s in a little bit of pain Bailey Martin has picked up the [Applause] pace Bailey really ripping those handles down on the left of screen in the black Ricky getting the jump on that last pesky calerie Bailey Martin oh Ricky [Applause] wow Ricky one ahead but Bailey is cycling his box jumps fast up this last round is going to be tight Monahan in third in the [Applause] background for br just ahead now Martin has cycled quicker the crowd here is absolutely pumping at Pat rafter Arena Monahan Crouch battling for third Martin back on for the final 10 calories Ricky has have to go absolutely bananas on this [Applause] one the hand in the air from the judge will tell the [Applause] story Riley Martin 11 reps away from possibly an event win here yellow host time of 919 in Jeopardy Bailey 5 Seconds ahead 919 is our time to beat we’ve seen Ricky win one we’ve seen Jay win one Bailey goes hang on boys it’s my turn Bailey Martin one rep to go Bailey Martin and an event record and he is loving it Ricky under that event record time as well from yellow [Applause] hostar haven’t we seen a performance monah [Music] unbelievable Jake Crouch now with a bit of damage control going on and he will finish underneath Jake hendry’s time wow I was calling for magic I think we got it [Music] [Applause] Shel Healey will be ahead of Pete Ellis that will be an important result pis with that great finish in event number two now in some damage control how many athletes can he get ahead of from the previous Heats he’ll finish dead on with Max Le’s result from Heat number one at 1028 Jake Hendry beating him Luke deong James hard Graves Rob four final two to finish [Applause] still plenty of time to hit that time cap hard Graves moving [Music] [Applause] fast and very respectable 1116 ladies and gentlemen aan of and the master r 14 bringing home heat number five but magic didn’t we see it Bailey Martin third career semi-final event win for Bailey Martin and I think something he really needed to do to stop the other guys getting any more of a lead on and I love absolute shakeups on leader boards and GE we got one let’s head down to Bella Martin on the competition floor we’ve we’ve

with me and snuck me at the end so respect to you bro I love that it’s the two of you that finished this event first because you were tied for points coming into this event the last event of the day Bailey how does it feel to be going up against Ricky and seeing him on the field and knowing hey I’ve got this one ah he’s just another competitor right no it’s it’s good to have him back and it’s good to um have him there because I know he’s going to perform at the games and that’s what I want to do as well so I just try and stay as close as I can if I can beat him I can beat him and then just gives me more confidence going into the games yeah well you’re both in great positions to go to the games again we’ve got four spots up for grabs Bailey what is it going to take tomorrow to secure

done credit where credit is you and Bailey Martin deserves all of the credit oh Bailey Martin springy boy from start to finish on that box he did not slow down and he just looked so good throughout the fatigue really not getting to him at all dropped the hammer when it counted and Ricky could not catch up so interesting strategy early from Ricky jumping very high minimizing the fatigue on the legs and then dropping down as the rounds went [Music] on tell you what though Jeremy I am loving the trash talk that is happening amongst these boys and it is all love down here oh so much respect oh but the trash talk between our Aussies and new zealanders is just so great got to keep them on their toes don’t you it just creates such good competitive atmosphere amongst them and we just get these amazing performances from it but pacing Bailey Martin springy boy when they going to call him doing exactly possibly the perfect strategy for this event an event record for Bailey Martin we see you Europe we’ll raise you a few seconds anyway our heat Five results sees Bailey get in at 91 Ricky outside that time from yellow Hoster no just under so 5 Seconds under Jack Monahan with another great

[Music] [Music] yes welcome back Toran Pro 2024 P rafter arena is where we are at some amazing performances right across the day so far Jeremy Austin pit Malone Bella Martin with you I thought we’d seen enough magic yesterday Bailey Martin has just knocked one out of the park unbelievable can the women stack up as well Matty sturt 200 points Grace Walton Caitlin vanil your top three and some ladies in there that we used to seeing and probably not this early so Georgia Pride jumping into that top 10 as well Matty St you know mattye very well back in the day this is the old mat St that I’m used to see oh look a little bit of old Matty stt but new Matty St she’s really a matty St reaching her full potential we love to see it and I want to see her go for a third event win the makeup of the top four is going to be phenomenal cannot wait till the end of tomorrow we’re going to find out at the end of today who are going to be our top three teams heading to the Cross hit games in in Fort Worth Texas in August this year and today we paint the pro [Music] pink team from Fitness alley Woolen gong plenty of support down here for them four individuals for the male females three [Music] teams CR absolutely buzzing right now bit of a lull but we welcome out to the floor for the first time for a little while Heat number one and this is event number three for the individual female seven rounds for time 10 CS on the Echo Bike One legless rope climb and 10 box jump overs and one legless rope climb to finish except for the sth round 24 in box and a 15t rope 16-minute time cap drive back to the male division plenty of time left on that clock yeah that there was but we know that legless roope climbs and the women little bit harder obviously they got further to [Applause] go now go rock steps to success manag the grip fatigue and fast transitions fast transition doesn’t mean running between transitions either fast on and off that box and on and off the Rope Huggins moving from Team competition to individuals she will be down there in Lane number seven and our youngsters bisy wild CrossFit snake in Tamworth Caitlyn ham from the same gym as well they’ve watched Georgia pry do some amazing things and also Jake Douglas with a great start competition this [Music] morning Christina Ashton in the all black finally after trying for so many years she ticks the box and her progression has been so good [Music] underway the final event for the day for the teams in heat 1 and when they finish this one that’s the halfway point so not normally what we’re used to seeing used to seeing two events per day do you think this has thrown the athletes at all it’s crazy that we’re Saturday night and it is only the halfway point I don’t think so I think having a break after event one yesterday was nice for these athletes and probably a bit of a relief knowing that they could push hard in event one and go home and recover come back for a fresh start on [Music] Saturday Ashton with first athletes off onto her rope climb National Sprinter for 11 years 100 meter hurdles so this box should be absolutely no bother for Christina ashon in lane two she have some explosive power then being the Sprinter I’m all for the 100 met Sprint I’m not all for the 100 me 110 me hurdles C Campbell her first crack at individual competition Macy wild and Alice got the first to move Alice was impressive earlier on this morning Alice only 19 years old but I feel like she’s been here forever it’s funny it’s like that J Crouch M start the same and I think composure grows with age coming in the last couple of years Alice Scott sometimes letting emotion get the better of her in some events when she doesn’t perform as well as she’d hoped haven’t seen that this year at all composure has been wonderful from Alice Scott oh not just a is experience getting out here knowing what it’s like learning from your mistakes from the previous years it’s hard only managed to do it once as an individual and it was hard back then but now the sport has grown so much and there’s so many expectation on the athletes especially young girls coming through they see what T has done and continues to do and they go oh I should be be able to do that doesn’t always work like that no it doesn’t Caitlyn ham will be third grabbing that chalk see I like that leaving the chalk on the box so you don’t have the chalk when you get to the Rope climbs he cutting down that rest time in between W wild the young Jim Maisy wild and Alice Scott making easy work of these legless rope climbs gymnast are no strangers to a rope climb do an absolute ton of them in your conditioning just teaches you so much about body awareness it’s very unforgiving there’s the Rope you just got to get up there efficiently let’s head down to Bella talk about body awareness and how all of these women on the field are moving differently I’m watching Maddie hugging specifically she’s on the floor in Lane number seven we saw her yesterday struggle a little bit in the Run she had a decent performance this morning and now on this box jump she’s landing on one foot very gingerly each time and then stepping down I wouldn’t say it’s the most efficient nor the fastest strategy but I’m sitting here wondering well maybe that’s what works best for every athlete’s different every athlete’s built different and especially when it comes to a box step down you got to work what’s best for you so it’s been interesting to watch all the different strategies come in here yeah you’re right on that b I noticed the one foot Landing as well interesting tactic loading one leg with all with the body weight it’s working for her though it’s working for now we’re only 5 minutes in we got a long way to go and we still have a lot of competition left tomorrow so it’s all about balancing that fatigue and doing what you can while you’re in the event knowing full will we have a big day coming up M Huggins police officer so thank you firstly for what you do for our community competed at the Asian Crossing championship in 2019 as an indie and she’s done it all she reckons she’s done it all very badly but netball basketball soccer and gymnastics Athletics swimming rowing cycling surprise surprise she’s got a CrossFit who would have thought we love our sport down here M wild continues 18 years of age on the big stage probably something Alis Scott has got in her favor going to the crossford games as a teenager you are on the big stage very early you probably get used to the pressure the people the sound it’s hard to explain to people if you’re not there on the competition floor that’s right she would be very familiar with how these competitions run what’s expected how the floor Works how judges work how the movement standards are implemented very different to training at home in your affiliate very much so Macy wild way out in front now this is going to mean a whole lot to you and not a whole lot to anyone else but she’s an ex level 10 gymnast I know exactly what that means do you want to try and break that down for people at home a to put it really simply there’s levels 1 to 10 one being the lowest and when you’re young little ones and 10 being one of the one of the highest before International Elite level and 10 means that she has got some skills and she’s probably spent a lot of years doing gymnastics to get to level 10 competed for 12 years made Nationals three times so we’re talking Fair chunk of skill there know she reminds me of a young Grace Walton someone who can actually build on what they’ve got over the next couple of years and at 18 the world is at her feet I would have to agree with you there I know we’re only three events in but there is so much good stuff there that Maisy wild is doing I’m really looking forward to seeing what she’s going to do over the next couple of years when I say young Grace Walton I mean an inexperienced Grace Walton she’s still 23 still young where is Old or you’re old yeah just me not you Alis Scott continues her progression still your leader Amber Cohen finishes off her round Maisy Wild Caitlyn ham another of the snake crossfits faithful and robe climes again so simple [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Maisy wild still looking strong on that the same as she did in round one in search of a program to support your fitness goals this at roguefitness.com for iron game programming options created by decorated athletes and coaches to help meet your training goals Rogue the official suppliers of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games and the wonderful Echo Bike Maisy wild seems to be fairly comfortable on right now she’s looking very comfortable a lot more comfortable than you or I would be if we were down there I think for these female athletes though as these Heats go on what we’re going to see is it is a little bit of a different event for the women as it was for the men the women have got a little bit lower box 24 in box the men had a 30in box but it is a a little bit more of a legless Road climb event for the women the Box won’t pose too many problems it’ll be the women that could climb the fastest with the men they could all climb fast it came down to the [Applause] Box things starting to get a little bit darker here we noticed it last night come in very quickly the bright light that is Maisy wild continues to [Music] shine ma back for her seventh and Final Round what she does at start only one rope climb requ [Music] [Applause] wi Maisy wild getting moving on her final round she’s in her own race at the moment that’s got to be difficult for a youngster coming into a competition like this you know how hard you should be pacing but do you as a youngster sort of put the foot off the pedal when no one’s around to chase it out I think for these youngsters they’re coming in here mostly for the experience and to enjoy the atmosphere I think for a lot of them a games ticket is probably not on their radar yet but definitely in the next couple of years this weekend would be about getting that experience and enjoying it she’s this far out in front just get that Heat win lap it up Amber Cohen up and down C wild this is the final rope climb this is round number seven for her [Applause] [Music] 24-in box bit of a staple height now for elite competitors for the females absolutely no trouble bisy 1347 you know what she’s saying please get the camera away from me Caitlyn ham finishing off hers as well 16-year competitive gymnast as well so no surprise the girls from snake crossfits dominating the Rope climb event Alice Scott will be next finished [Music] FR Campbell in the background still on round number six as his Brook to a to and Alice I’m loving to seeing her finishing with a smile on her face this year she is it so comfor it’s honestly like the entire pressure of the world is off her shoulders she’s just having fun that’s number one rule isn’t it when get into competition like this going to have some fun difficult to do mat Huggins coming back to the Box the final time her spirit animals the warthog I don’t know what that means look she’s kept consistent with that single leg Landing throughout kudos to her [Applause] the efficiency has worked for her you got to do what’s best run your own race understand the spirit animal reference now mty Huggins they struggle with muscle ups and rope climbs she’s done well to finish that under time cap 15 seconds left Amber Cohen’s got to get a rle on here [Music] Amber having a quick look you’ve got to get down to work oh it’s going to be [Applause] tight the chip timer will tell the [Music] story and if you wanted to utilize the entire 16 minutes she timed it to Perfection she’s getting her money’s worth this weekend crazy wild yes please get the camera out of my face she’s saying it was all business early for ma wild but as expected Elite Gymnastics background coming to the four well we spoke about the gymnastics background obviously with the physical performance but also the composure having all those years competitive gymnastics anyone watching who has done it themselves know what that competition atmosphere is like it’s very different to this but composure is needed and these young ones have got [Music] ity wild only 18 years of [Music] age Caitlin ham at [Applause] 24 Alis Scott older 19-year-old we throw it back to Maddie Huggins also Brook twow who are also in the same heat so the blend of Youth and experience continues toan Pro for 2024 Maisy 1347 and that is going to be the time to beat for Heat number 2 3 4 and five emall 10:42 our time to [Music] beat the crowd they have not gone anywhere after the individual females the next four Heats we will get to our team competition for the final time and we will Crown our top three teams that will represent the Oceania region we told you yesterday they’d be dancing the toan pro and we’ve got it [Music] unreal don’t we have the best crowd here he was doing a shoy earlier I don’t know what he was putting in his shoy but the splash of pink right across Pat rafter Arena today day two of the Tan Pro when we paint the pro pink the atmosphere absolutely electric as we welcome onto the competition floor he number two and yes it is the cowgirl Julia Hanford once [Applause] again she’s got the cowgirl hat out which means that she me business God doesn’t it once she should have bought it out yesterday always a special Saturday night here Julia Hanford doesn’t disappoint ever event number three for the individual femal seven rounds of 10 CS on the Echo Bike One Legas rope climb 10 box jump overs and one legless rope climb 24in box 15t rope 16 minutes on our time cap and the requirement for the athletes to step down not jump [Applause] down different strategies right across the Heats we’ve seen including the males but our gock steps to success are managing great fatigue and fast [Applause] transitions fatigue from most athletes being manage quite [Applause] well Elena sment for Heat number two don’t be surprised to see a very young althia Boon do well with these rope climbs those biceps bulging yesterday she did say though that she was very happy with the step down standard not not having a jump [Music] down Julia Hanford it is time to put the hammer down Sheree Wilcox coming off a wonderful finish in event number two she is front and center giving your a quiet talking to [Applause] [Music] all of our ladies off to a fairly conservative Pace or Yardley probably not listening to everybody else [Music] Caitlyn Porter bran chalice athletes really not need to start making a move Yardley and not bad positioning from lur Yardley getting those elbows in nice and tight and rope climbs going see 13 of them in the next 16 minutes where do you normally fatigue forearms is it shoulders biceps where is it oh forearms biceps but we talk about time under tension legless rope climes is it one of those movements where you want to spend the least amount of time as possible on that road the longer you’re there the more it blows your grip they’re only doing one at a time but they’ve got seven rounds and they’ve got to do two each round about the last round so if you had to spend more time on the [Applause] Rope just doing exactly that least amount of time on the Rope as possible and then casually just jump on the Echo Bike and cruise along we’ll see a few different techniques from these women we said in the previous heat that this event is a little bit different for the women than it was for the men the men have a high a box it’s more of a box jump over event for the women the Rope climb as we saw with Maisy wild is where it is at the more efficient female rope climbers I think are going to take [Music] it to early on in Heat number two I’d have to say I’m going to be a bit biased but I have to say lethia Boon looks the best on the [Music] Rope the old spit on the hands the old school version of chalk and [Music] boony now spending less time in the Rope is probably going to allow her to just missed it out of screenshot is Alia Boon jogging to the Box you mentioned the transition time it’s important to that time you’re not spending on the Rope you can spend running to the box that’s right ala know she’s going to get up and down fast so she can be a little bit faster on her transition so the some of the other athletes you’ll see they’ll be walking towards their rope composing themselves before they jump up althia has that confidence in her grip strength Ronnie chalice one Julia Han Leia Boon two oh stop it althia burn doing a few less climbs than Bry chalice but I love Bry chal’s rhythm with her legs as she moves her hands [Applause] up Bry CrossFit Games experience with Team exf Christy Hollard who is in team competition looking like she’s going to book another ticket to the games Moses patello can he take his exf team back to the games Henry car the fourth team member back two years ago now the amount of grabs that Ronnie is using on rope is she going to run out after 13 of these BR is using her legs a bit more than althia she just had to do a bit of a kip on that last pull she doesn’t look too phe though she’s taken off into a run we have just wait and see if that grip starts to go but Bry has all that experience now Wally over here jumping on the box 10 times over and back what are you doing with your arms to try and minimize the grip fatigue just trying to relax though like Julia hord’s having a little bit of a shake out they’re not allowed to use their arms on the box they’re not allowed to touch the box and they not allowed to touch their legs which allows them to relax the arms ready for those rope climbs Bonnie chalice heading on her way back great battle between Alia Boon and our cowgirl Julia Hanford Bella Maron what are we seeing down on the competition floor from Julia I’m seeing Julia start to hit the Jets she’s in 15th going into this event tonight we knew it had to be a big day for her she was my Dark Horse I’ll tell you that going into that fourth spot for qualification this weekend she’s trying to catch up BR here on bani but I’ll tell you what I think Ban’s got this one in the bag but Julia tomorrow that’s going to be her time to shine Rog geeko bike is a piece of equipment that everybody loves to hate it’s truly versatile put a warm-up composed with it you can do a long zone two workout as well which I prefer to do or have a Max Sprint for 30 seconds which can destroy you for an entire day watching these athletes get through their 10 Cals each time truly incredible Rogue the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit [Music] games now you asked before what was going to happen to Bry Charles’s grip so far nothing she’s added that extra little Kip at the top of the Rope but she’s not phased by it at all she’s extended her lead over the field but it’s going to be Julia Hanford to her Road [Music] [Applause] next bnie no too fast slowing down wow and pulling ahead of Hanford to her own admission she said she hasn’t been doing a lot of training I don’t know what a lot meant but she’s been doing a bit she’s looking in great shape chalice getting to work on the Echo Bike once again I knew no full well coming back after giving birth how difficult it is and for some of these ladies getting back on the competition floor here it’s just truly remarkable it’s hard enough just getting back into the gym after giving birth but to get to this level of performance again and I know Alia will tell us time and time again that she’s nowhere near where she wants to be but she is doing absolutely phenomenal out there as are all of our other moms that end up back onto the competition floor you know this level of competition it’s hard it is hard to get here we met little leani yesterday she’s running around Pat raft arena in the tennis courts for Leia doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all going on Gladiators this year Australian Gladiators and holding her own as well as some the biggest youngest brightest stars in The Fitness World chalice still your leader into Lane number eight Elia Boon now the slowest part of this entire event is the bike for althia and she’s probably using it as a pace setup for the entire event rnie Charles with a really efficient technique on these jump overs wasting no time on either side event record emall Europe semi-final the French Throwdown last week of 10:42 time to beat here 134 s from Maisy [Music] wild leafia looking strong py Woodhouse now jumping ahead of Julia Hanford cross it North in wager [Applause] [Music] wager Bonnie chalice this is what we’ve come to expect from her she’s gotten through these crucial first five rounds can she hold her lead through the last two and is she going to drop the hammer a bit like we saw with the males earlier Ry looking quite comfortable on the Echo Bike lri yardi finishes another round and heads back to join Hanford Bo [Music] Woodhouse just got to maintain that lead event record time from em Ticks [Applause] [Music] by the end of the sixth round for Bry chalice and a great Rhythm great timing every single Jump’s the same oh every single jumps been the same every single rope climb she say consistent on as [Music] well on to the final round now finishing with her sixth round the final round two rope climbs remaining one on the way back and one on the way down to the boxia Boon comfortably in [Music] second time of [Applause] 1347 is still 2 minutes away should be plenty of time for both Ronnie chalice and althia boon to get this completed especially at the ra lethia Boon’s climbing the Rope now Bry Charles just took a bit of time before getting up onto that rope to chalk her hands she’s just had to keep a couple of extra times but she’s gotten through a road climb and she only has to get through one more you mentioned that our go rock steps of success manag your grip fatigue she didn’t have much left in that last one so the grip fatigue management was perfect from bronnie chalice come on Boon up and down the Rope she has got one climb remaining after her 10 Cals on the bike trying to chase down Bry [Music] chalice under a minute now Maisy Wild’s time so not a bad time for Maisy wild from Heat number one snake CrossFit chalice just waiting patiently for that last gallery to tick over now interesting times has Brony got enough now yes she does [Applause] Talis now with 10 reps [Applause] remaining Boon’s going to be out there all on her own once Bry [Music] [Applause] finishes Bonnie chalice and she managed that fatigue on the grip so well that last rope climb looked like she had just hit her limit I thought that second last one was a little bit dicer than the last Leia burn you can’t wipe the smile off her face 40 years young and kicking it with the youngsters showing them how it’s done bigger biceps in the entire male field one of your faor yes young lady welcome back please don’t go [Applause] anywhere Maisy wild still with the lead Julia the youngster sh on the experienced how it’s done Hanford not a bad result Caitlyn Porter here she comes Kenzie Woodhouse jul and Julia Hanford [Applause] [Music] glor odley with a minute left on the time cap now Porter finishes [Music] [Applause] up Sheree wox second last Athlete on the floor looks like she will be the only one left left Charlotte bwin still out on the floor work will on her final now there go great work from Sheree another one of our masters athletes absolutely killing it in the individual field [Applause] [Music] we talk about personalities on this floor is she not the greatest she really is we just love her down here we protect Bo at all costs yes we do very happy Bry chalice but still your leader Macy wall heat one and a conservative start but it wasn’t long before Bry chalice put the hammer down and got in front of Julia Hanford and Alia Boon it was a conservative start but Bry chalice just P calm and collected start to finish had a clear plan and just manag that fatigue on the legless Road climb so well she rested at all the right points and her box jump overs the entire time and stayed really fast finish that Bry I’m sure is very happy with and Alia Bo just smile from ear to ear we know she loved the Rope climb of [Applause] V Ry chalice not enough to beat Maisy wal time from he but a very respectable time a he to results bronnie chalis in 133-51 official timeo getting in 14- 26 Haniford will start her progression up that leaderboard Charlotte BN the only athletes in Pete number two unable to get under the time cap only 10 box jumps remaining but an interesting play out the leaderboard not just the individuals but the team of leaderboard as well right throughout day two no doubt we’ve got more Magic on the way here from Pat ra Arena this crowd just waiting anticipation about to be joined by Heat number three on a day when we paint the pro pink a wonderful day of competition as well as a heat three ladies hit the competition floor B number three seven rounds 10 cows on the Echo Bike One legless rope climb 10 box jump overs and a legless rope climb on the other end 24 in box 15t rope 16 minutes on our time cap and one less rope climbing round number [Applause] [Music] [Applause] seven our go rock steps to success have been working so far manage that grip fatigue and fast transitions saw Bry chalice in the previous heat do just that but when we talk about gymnastics background my eyes are on Lane three Georgia prior she could really do some damage to that leaderboard in this event well the two girls from snake CrossFit have thrown it down and going right come and chases so she’s under a little bit of [Music] pressure now heat three start list and there’s your girl Georgia PRI in Lane number three I’m not exactly sure or Shante markuson has got apologies I was pronouncing it Shante it is actually Shante so apologies shant while rectifying my mistakes love to see what she’s got in the tank she’s a very good mover and in the previous Heats have two older girls Leia Boon and Sheree Wilcox they’re both heading to the Masters Legends games so both qualify unofficially of course still been able to throw down here on the competition [Applause] [Music] floor love how all the girls start out just going oh how hard should I go here I’ve got a theory for you what would you think about doing one round hardest nails one round cruising I’ll be seven rounds so you go out of the gates really hot back it off for number two pick it back up for three down for four etc etc to seven I can see where you’re going with that but the thing with legless rope climbs is that once your grip goes it does not come back it takes time to come back and you probably need more than a round if you blow it out JMA hul in lane four with a point to prove and some position I to move Jaye mancy far right of screen from Bill athletic on the Gold Coast and Georgia pry your top three B glennister just in [Music] fourth now what I’m hoping to see from Georgia prior in this event is what we got in the last one from her which was sticking to her game [Music] plan just stay in her Lane run her own race because it really paid off in event two for her and she dropped the hammer when it counted what do you think’s the heart of rope climb after you get off the Echo Bike straight away or after you’ve done your rope CL going to depend it’s going to depend on each athlete and where their strength is you think if you’re holding on to the handles of the Echo Bike like you should like a great Push Pull Implement grip’s probably going to be a little bit more fatigued and potentially doing your two rope climbs and 10 box jumps in the middle yeah I think those box jump overs are they really raise the heart rate [Music] jilee [Music] mancy Steady As She Goes GE prior Jemma H H your leader and this is more like it from Gemma [Music] hul PRI ear marked her early she had a great strategy with her toad to bar the previous events and I think Gemma hul would know how strong Georgia PRI is on alg’s roope climb so she’s gone with the tactic of getting out ahead early and seeing if she can hold [Music] on so faster time than Maisy wild Jimma H hope really going for it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jemma hope gets to work she’s looking very composed next to Georgia Pride this is going to be a great battle down the floor for the next 14 15 minutes more on that battle let’s head down to Del Martin well it’s a battle on the competition floor it’s not as much of a battle on the leaderboard there was no receding of the Heats today so Georgia prior right now sits in that 10th Place position whereas gemma’s actually sitting in 21st so while Gemma might be winning the Heat overall she has a lot of more of a hole to climb out of if she wants to be closer to that top tomorrow it’s going to take a very impressive performance from Jemma pip what do you think she’s going to have to do she’s in heat 3 here what time do you think she’s going to have to go to even make it in consideration with those top girls oh look I’m not sure at this point what number she’s going to need but she needs really to win this heat and put out the time to beat sitting in that 10th position she’s in really good contention to keep moving ahead but she needs to limit the amount of people between her time and the times that are going to come in the next Heat that is a hard thing about being out of the top heat when you’re after a game’s ticket is that you’re setting the times to beat for the top guys to come in and and grab we’ve seen that all day too we’ve seen athletes in heat one setting times to beat that stand through Heat number three it’s really tough to know where you are sitting when it’s such a mixed bag but it I think it’s pretty solid that we’ve got three events tomorrow we’ll see that receding and we’ll know exactly where we are a bit more of a story to tell there that’s right there’s plenty of points still up for grabs hul trying to grab a lot of them the split time’s going okay she ahead of Maisy Wild’s time now time to beat worldwide 10:42 from emal 1042s of electric time athletes not allowed to leave until they 10 calories tick over hence why there’s a bit of a bark from Gemma before she got off the bike gemma’s rope climbs have gotten better as she’s gone along she’s gotten quicker she started off a little bit slower with a bit of a keep up the top and she just blew up that roope does that happen often when you get when you get into an event and you actually get a better feel for it as you go along do you get more efficient as you go along even with some increased fatigue maybe if it’s one that she didn’t practice a lot at home maybe she’s feeling better than she anticipated and that is always great that’s what you want is to feel better than you thought you were going to push that bit harder but she looks like she’s got a lot left in the tank she hasn’t dropped the hammer yet if she wants to stay ahead of Georgia prior she’s going to have [Music] toesy box athletes have had trouble all day moving it down the competition floor what are the benefits of pushing the Box other than maybe lifting it I think just not fumbling the Box very rogo bike a piece of equipment that everybody loves to hate truly is versatile get a warm up on it a longer Zone 2 workout I’ll have 30 seconds destroy you for the entire day great to see Jemma hul and Georgia PRI getting to work on these Echo bikes getting through the calories absolutely incredible the official equipment supply of CrossFit and the CrossFit [Applause] [Music] Games JMA hul she can feel it it’s [Music] close I think there’s enough of a gap [Applause] I don’t know where Jemma hope found that extra boost of energy to make those legless Road climbs faster but it is paying off cuz Georgia pry hasn’t been able to match her [Music] yet h slides her box forward and she’s just about to end round number five she’s about a minute ahead of where Maisy wild was in Heat number one ah Gemma easy but here comes Georgia PRI who’s added a little bit of a spring to her step and the transition speed you mentioned in the steps of success thanks to goo George’s up the anti as well so is it that time when you get to that fifth round and go okay let’s go let’s party having that little bit left up your sleeve to push when it counts and now is when it is going to count Georgia PRI is hot on Jemma H’s tails [Applause] o and prior competing against each other for a number of [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] years now the touches on the Rope getting short Georgia spending a little bit too much time [Applause] on those Echo by Call’s giving Gemma chance to get ahead so Georgia having to make up that time with the speed of transition Jemma H needs to keep these reps nice and clean make sure she doesn’t cop any more no reps and she starts to drop the hammer jogging to the [Music] Rope not bad from JMA hope holding off Georgia prior with a very fast sixth round Georgia looking really good still on those rope CLS [Music] this is where you’ll see Gemma really pull ahead this last round still not the fastest time we have seen in the world but still fast enough for the best time in the region ma wild with 1347 from number [Music] one and Hope just easing off that last calorie little bit of extra recovery [Music] [Applause] time and the kip comes into play for the last pull Georgia prior doing well that last round of the echo as she comes down hope four ahead won’t be enough George a pry though she’s fast she’s going to make Jemma work for it Jemma h on no rip oh no Georgia brii steals the win oh what an Gemma hope mistake at the end and she will be kicking herself oh that hurts it hurts and it hurts Georgia prior F time once again Georgia prior with just an Immaculate game plan [Applause] throughout 12:45 from Georgia prior oh the jump down what a great call from the judge you’ve got to step it down and The Rush Oh the double what a wonderful call from the judge Eagle Eye oh the fatigue just getting to brain l [Applause] and drama here at bat rafter Arena Beck glenister coming in Jaye mansy the best apple crumble maker in the [Applause] world and still happy to give us a smile Shante marcusen oh yet springy boy in the men bailing M shant goes okay as well and the simple guidelines from Crossfit you must step down from the box came to bite JMA [Applause] [Music] hope Jennifer CL yes the management of group fatigue you have said it time and time again oh Georgia prior less than 60 seconds left of the 16-minute time cap got three athletes on the floor still working well holstead keeping those elbows sucked the slips already started this is going to be hard we said it earlier once your grip goes it is hard to come back good luck find good luck finding it and Felton tribe Northern [Music] beaches a yes the crowd loves it oh and the crit fatigue management and it must be hard sprinting going fast and remembering to keep your foot on the box Aaron Felton good Sprint finish but drama in Heat number three hul with an error make that two errors at the end which gave Georgia Pride the opportunity to sneak in [Music] look I’m going to toot my own horn here but I said it at the start that Georgia prior in event two had the best executed game plan and she just did it again unfortunately at Gemma H’s expense with those no reps but Georgia prior the composure to just Sprint the end no matter what and did you notice round number five she went fast round six she backed it off round seven she went fast you might be on I might be on to something I doubt it but you never know but hope was great on the Rope the entire time all is not lost it is one place oh look it’s got to hurt it doesn’t come across on screen it’ll Bruce ego a little it’s hard she just looked so good from start to finish she was really dominant kept that lead ahead of Georgia and and just you know we talk about it it’s fatigue and accuracy and just forgetting in those last moments that you have to step down you cannot jump and have judge just on the ball keeping the standard leaving it wide open for Georgia fire to take it and absolutely Deo oh brutal now good luck getting in between two seconds between the two of them the pry make that 4 seconds officially 43 to 47 so could only be a three-point deficit for Jemma H to make up those three points could come back to bite her prior 12:43 your new time to beat here the Oceania region the Dr continues the shake up on the leaderboard will continue also crowd’s been absolutely wonderful today and good splash of pink Simone Arthur cheer squad and small steps for Hannah a great charity that we do support here at the touring Pro every year on the Saturday and we paint the pro [Music] pink athletes about to take the floor for Heat number for two more Heats of individual competition to go tonight we have got a bucket load of Fitness tomorrow as well three events just for the individuals this is event three seven rounds for Time s Cal Echo one legless rope Prime 10 box jump over one legless rope Prime 24 in for the Box 15 ft for the Rope 16 minutes for the time cap and a reminder keep your foot on the box as you step down don’t fall into the Trap of jumping down and getting a no rep especially when it counts our go rock steps to success coming to fruition once again manage that grip fatigue and fast transitions [Applause] and I think management of fatigue was managed perfectly in Heat number three JMA hope not having too much left in the tank MD Gilmore one of our newcomers from Crossfit Bondi she’s going to be down there in Lane number one I’m excited to see what Emma idel can do one of our taller athletes Simone sorry Simone Arthur will do well in Lane seven as will Matty shelling in lane two something comes from practicing certain movements when you need the most CrossFit Games prepares you for that mty shellings had that twice so rope climbs are not going to be an [Applause] [Music] issue Betty Gilmore I don’t know if she’s trying to quien down her cheer squad or calm down the butter [Applause] [Music] lies second to last Heat for our final individual event for day two of the tan pro at Pat rafter Arena the 2024 cross hit games Oceania semi-final presented by twl the home of [Music] training Chelsea Lane might be surprised to see her up and down that rope quickly not carrying a lot of body weight so of struggle a little bit with those heavy front squats earlier on today ER Pasty that’s a mon arur there we go see [Music] [Applause] you Sone Arthur being absolutely no stranger to the legless rope climb either she’s been around for such a long time she’s done a few in her time that’s sure you’ve been around a while too are there certain movements that come out in a programmed event like a semi-final or a regional and you go yes similar to some pull-ups and overhead squats maybe well I think Simone’s cheering that there’s LEL those Road climes I wouldn’t be okay but you sit there and break it down as a competitor and go yes okay I don’t need to work as hard in training with this one as I do with other ones oh definitely and you have to work to your strengths as well work your weaknesses but when your strengths are there you have to use them but who that a thing do you get complacent cuz you should do well and if you don’t do well at them do you beat yourself up probably more complacency about the athletes around you and what they’re capable of as well cuz you know there’s a lot of athletes out there that don’t showcase everything they keep their cards close to their chest and they come out here on the flooor and they show us what they can do Simone Arthur leading the charge let’s head down to Bella Simone Arthur leading the charge not only on the competition floor currently but she should be in that top heat we have a mixed bag of these Heats right now because they haven’t reshuffled but I’ll tell you what Simone seventh overall right now she should be in the top heat so if she’s leading that means she deserves to be leading and Pip this is going to be fun to watch she’s going to try to set a time to beat that the ladies in the next seat are going to go for it I think the time set by Georgia prior in the previous seat is going to fall a Sone Arthur knows what’s up she knows that she has to set a blistering time for the top heat the Heat this Technically she’s in sitting in seventh but with no reaing she has the disadvantage of setting a time for the top to go after and she is flying up and down that rad flying up and down the Rope but I tell you what if you’re supposed to be in that top heat it’s anybody’s game and she’s going to do [Applause] it Arthur leading after two Erica pasty and Dr shelling [Applause] second and third in this heat blasty shelling Simone Arthur with the very slight lead but she’s making up so much ground on these rope cles oh stop it had an anxiety attack that was [Applause] close well she’s looking unbelievable on that rope nice fast transitions on these box jump [Music] overs Erica also no trouble on that rope either but I really really am excited to see what speed Simone is still doing those rope climbs at around round five she keeps dropping like that she’s going to give everyone a heart attack in here talk about time efficiency though she is saving so much time with that fast descent [Applause] dominating the rogo bike the piece of equipment that everyone loves to hatte it’s truly versatile you can warm up on it get a longer zone two workout in I have 30 seconds to destroy you for the entire day watching athletes like Simone Arthur on the echo incredible to see them plowing through these 10 calories so quick Ro the official equipment supplier of CrossFit Mo out of CrossFit 4165 in Brisbane 4165 constituting the post code here and because Simone you mentioned it she’s working so hard and she’s so efficient at the rope and the box and the transition she can afford to spend a little bit more time on the Echo Bike tell me you’re a firefighter without telling me you’re a firefighter wonder if she’s got one at the firehouse she just climbs ropes all day long oh [Applause] definitely Simone’s really distancing herself from the rest of the field M shelling the background the pink and black on the chase down two of the girls we expected to do well are doing just that mon Arthur just ahead of mty [Music] shelling three reps in fact mty you got to go back and move your [Applause] box mistake for mty shelling didn’t move her box that was a costly mistake that has cost her about 25 seconds she’d made up some ground on Sone but she didn’t move her box and then she wasn’t sure what she got called it back for it matters not to Simone Arthur she will [Music] [Applause] continue basti CrossFit wol gulgar even though she looks like she struggling a little bit that massive Kip at the end is really doing her well the massive Kip at the end does tell a story on the level of grip fatigue But Eric is still looking very strong up that [Applause] rope round number five underway we’re looking to get this one done so the bottom of the Rope climb for Simone to get back at 914 to try and beat Georgia prior and that Long Reach SM of the tallest athlete out there but she’s ensuring those legs getting as wi as possible so she can just drop down mty shelling doing a really good job catching up after that mistake but it’s closed the gap between her and Erica speaking of which Erica coming down the [Music] floor I don’t think M’s going to make that mistake this time around it’s one of those things where you oh you idiot and Simone Arthur look I wanted to see what her speed would look like around round five round six she’s still exactly the same just as fast as round one Arthur back to the Rogue Echo Bike Rogue the official equipment supply of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games [Music] [Applause] getting another another pointy end Georgia PRI with our time to beat of 12:43 emal from the Europe semifinal the French Throwdown last weekend 1042 so Simone’s moving quick emor must have just been sprinting around the competition [Music] floor I’m not sure Simone’s going to finish six rounds in under [Applause] [Music] 1042 youth versus experience here this weekend experience is winning so far [Music] Arthur just been so impressive today just that flick of the switch and changing Simone tied with the split times now the Georgia prior but if you think about the course of the weekend so far Sheree Wilcox Leia Boon these athletes synonymous with the Oceania region Simone Arthur one of those and just proving that experience does count for a lot especially in competitions like [Applause] this P shelling hot on the trail of Simone Arthur [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] mty shelling doing really well the top of that rope climb that grip starting to kick in now she’s narrowed up her stance a little bit mty’s gone the normal grip on the Echo Bike and I don’t think Simone could get a lot narrower than that so that’s going to change the grip fatigue that’s going to make a little bit easier on the shoulders I don’t think it’s going to matter all it doesn’t matter look at that rope climb on the last round and it’s still that fast Georgia PRI is going to have the fastest time so far at 12:43 now importantly Gemma hul 12:47 so keep your eyes on that clock all maybe not lost for Jemma h don’t jump off the Box Sone oh it’s going to be TI yes Simone Arthur the firefighter she’s happy with it what a performance had a feeling an inkling she was going to do pretty well with this not that well mty [Applause] shelling so Jemma H that lost the zone she could potentially hold on to that second place spot going into the fifth and final [Applause] [Music] Heats shelling really solid time for mty shelling we spoke it before about the seating not being reshuffled in some of these top contenders not in the top heat Nikki Sala job 26y old Tasmanian girl Nikki great finish still with two minutes on the clock Chelsea Lane and Emily Clemens the South [Music] Australian Gilmore first competition at this level Erica pasty last couple of Road climbs have really stung not exactly sure what’s happening with Emma idel but I think the Rope climes have got the better of her as well you’re coming into your first competition at this level 13 legless rope climes a pretty tough Brenan Swan back in the day found that out at the CrossFit Games if you don’t practice stuff like this it is going to come back to bite you Erica for a second there I thought she hadn’t hit it but she will get done under the 16-minute time cap M Gilmore back for her final round and Emma idel trying her hardest in the background to get up the Rope the crowd urging her on but it is just not going to happen Erica palassi from Crossfit W go stupid body oh she just fell victim to that blown out grip unfortunately pushed it a bit too hard supporters here do not care last couple of seconds from MD Gilmore and that is all she wrote but performance take a b a moan AR winner she had another seven rounds in by the looks of those last roope [Applause] CLS he four of the women did not disappoint we said during the heat these Heats haven’t been receded so we do have some Heavy Hitters that are not in that top heat of women’s they’re throwing down the gauntlet putting up the time to beat the arur doing just that one of our many athletes in the floor that have been here for the last decade since [Music] 2014 firefighter by day rope climb Crusher by nights she just she just e it up if if you want a rope climb Clinic go and see Simone Arthur there be a lot of ogs from the ocean region watching going yes Simone Arthur still killing it still got it and Maddie shelling a great finish for her so much experience games level on a team paid off for [Applause] her happy I think so pumped oh shed enough energy in the tank for that one now results from Heat number four 1247 43 still out time to beat from Georgia prior have to see the split times on our full official results to see where Jemma H is sitting now we are coming down to our final heat of individuals for today day two we are nearly at the halfway point for our females we’re there for the males it doesn’t feel right but here we [Applause] are a little bit of magic I reckon is about to happen here at Pat rafter Arena seven rounds for event number three 10 Cals on the Echo Bike One legless rope climb 10 box jump overs another less rope climb except for the last round 24 in for the Box 15 ft for the Rope 16 minutes on our time cap we talk gymnastics people who gymnastically gifted and have trained that their whole life are going to do very well but our steps to success thanks to go rock manage that grip fatigue and fast trans positions and finish as fast as you can ahead of everybody [Music] else this is going to be worth the price of admission alone this heat’ got the likes of not only mty stur who’s won the first to events Grace Walton who’s sitting in second on the leaderboard but firefighter Daniel for and gymnast Daisy MD Donald and gymnast Ella price this is going to be crazy times emall still without time to beat from the Europe semi-final [Applause] 10:42 Georgia prior 1243 now that’s a great result for Georgia Gemma hul with those couple of mistakes in heat three 1247 still still a very good [Music] [Applause] time so ladies get underway for our fifth and final Heats of our individual female competition for today the good news the last thing you see will be the EO bike as you go off into the distance [Music] up hustle up is the official Time Keeper of the CrossFit semi-final scan the QR code on the screen for a chance to win a CrossFit World Tour visiting CrossFit Gyms right around the globe terms and conditions [Music] apply Li f [Applause] zil Ro climbs bought her team unstuck back in the day at the tring cross Championship not so [Music] today interesting watching Daisy McDonald’s rope primes she’s got a big sway going on and a big Kip for the last two but her speed on the box jumps is AB absolutely [Music] incredible these first couple of rounds is where we really see if the technique they’re using is just they’re using it because that’s how they do it or they using it because grip is going to become a [Music] problem Daisy knows exactly what she’s doing she is also a high level gymnast and I just have a little look down see who’s doing [Music] what now Caitlin vanel has been quietly chipping away at that top four position up until this point are we going to see her try and make a move in this event normally female competition what you see is all guns blazing and athletes coming out of the blocks blasting their way through a competition shoot it over to the male side of competition where you’ve got Jake Crouch who’s steadily going away and doing bits and pieces but staying consistently top three top four and still managing to take out that top spot at the end of the weekend Kaitlin’s doing just that she’s definitely one of those Nam games that everyone’s been talking about the potential to take a ticket back to the games as an individual we know she wants it leader cin benzil heading back leg seem to be going all over the place not usually what you’re used to seeing but it’s efficient for Caitlyn E Bike piece of equipment that everybody loves to hate it is truly versatile get a great warm up a longer Zone to workout in it if you like or even a 30 second Sprint that is going to leave you destroyed for the entire day great seeing these athletes on the Rogue Echo Bike and Rogue the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games Caitlyn vanz just chopping down that trans position and rest time by chalking up on the Echo Bike see different strategies over the last nine Heats most of the time it’s on the floor to the Box on the way back or on the box Caitlyn some down some athletes have come out of the blocks too hot and paid for it later this is going to be really crucial to see what Caitlyn does here and just a second or two behind her is MADD St Silent Assassin sneaking away in the middle of the floor doing MD St things just chipping away at the lead off don’t be surprised to see Matty St with 300 points at the end of today I want to see it I’m here for it 300 points her strategies have changed somewhat I don’t know if it’s strategy I think she’s got more aggression and confidence she come back and hit the Rope first before Caitlyn vanil and go into the lead oh that swing of the legs just a cycle Kip and is that the break that MD St needed Grace Walton the third behind Caitlyn van seal Daisy McDonald in fourth Daisy doing all the right things four ladies in this field are going to the CrossFit games this year not three but four [Music] we know Matty’s off to a great start with 200 points honestly Matty’s finished both events one and two and it seems as though she’s got a whole lot more to give that’s got to hold you in good stead oh look we keep saying it time and time again with MD she’s been out on this floor for so many years now and we are seeing for the first time that athletic potential just coming to fruition with mty st I know last year heard her a fair bit as it did Grace Walton I think it’s a testament to the character you know she made it four years in a row M St then missed out for three years she has stuck to it made a few changes and coming back this year so far we’re almost halfway through the Tan Pro and she’s stamping her name on it yeah Caitlin’s got to be careful not to try and keep Pace with Matty St and potentially ruin your own strategy Matty with a two rep lead Matty with a bit of a benefit being a shorter athlete low to the ground pushing that box that big Kip at the end is really saving one grab on the rope and there’s your minimizing your fatigue one of you go rock steps to success she’s just very efficient with her Kip and her leg cycling just timing it with each pull of the Rope as is Caitlyn vanel who is trying to keep M close by the paac is okay from both girls Caitlyn and Maddie they’re just under that 30 for their speed mty just looking a little bit more comfortable Your Leader still Matty St Your Leader overall after a day and a half of [Music] [Applause] competition lead getting extended now she’s now a full rope climb ahead of Caitlyn [Applause] vanil Grace Walton in the background in Lane three has also closed the Gap a little between herself and Caitlyn vanel you know she said that she just went out and sent it in that last event has she learned to be a little more strategic here and will it pay off I don’t think so speaking to Grace the other day on Thursday morning we ran into it it was a I’m this fit I want to showcase what I’ve got not a strategy based thing at all which I love I get after [Applause] it m stir back onto the bike once again and Rog the official equipment supplier of CrossFit and the CrossFit Games which is where mty stt is looking to go at the end of tomorrow Maddie flew up and down that rope again that grip looking like it is well intact distancing herself from Caitlyn and Grace [Music] [Applause] I don’t think I’ve seen Maddie look so comfortable within a competition Maddie said in an interview earlier you know this is unknown territory for her coming out and winning events on you know the first couple of days of competition well get used to it Maddie it looks like it’s going to be something that is going to continue to happen s a play Sweet two years ago with Tia when she was down here six out of six first place finishes a lead getting extended has Caitlyn come out to hot is it going to bite at the back end here comes Grace Walton into [Applause] [Music] second M finishing up she’s onto her final round now fast time it won’t be near emal’s 10:42 the Europe Regional last [Applause] week continues on this progression 300 points out of a possible 300 points what a start tell me you want to go to the Cross hit games without telling [Applause] me R still doing well with herro climbs the West Australian has got one goal in mind Daisy McDonald still in fourth time is going to be crucial for Daisy if she can get under that time of 12:43 of Georgia [Applause] prior Caitlyn vanel getting a no rep that grip fatigue wow here goes Maddie St on her last rope climb oh Caitlyn is now getting halfway up the rope and coming down Caitlyn’s grip is blown mty St is going to go three from three and it is going to be a super fast time Daisy McDonald can she creep into third the crowd is going to [Music] Roar when she comes over the line for three event wins a take it B the hits just keep on coming for this youngster and four Time Crossing games qualifier and Grace walson is grinning from ear to ear she has done just what she needs to do as well 27 points for Grace Walton now Daisy McDonald is going to grab third Caitlyn vanil still stuck on the Rope the grip is gone completely Daisy McDonald the young so we said at the start was she going to look like that from start to finish and she’s stuck to it Georgia PRI is going to jump in Jemma H is going to jump in so Jemma H the top five but Daisy McDonald will progress up the leaderboard still Caitlyn getting that rope climb done as Daddy for gets ahead as well oh [Music] drama so you mentioned it did Daisy do it for strategy Absolut absolutely she did now the pressure on Caitlyn vanil Ella price coming to the Box she’s going to beat Caitlyn vanil as well Michelle Hayes will do it as well damage control coming for Caitlyn vanz that grip blowout just so costly as Ella Pryce gets it done [Applause] Michelle he is home and Caitlyn gets it done time important now Ben dealing damage control and she is going to move fast she doesn’t care what her arms are doing right now ladies and gentlemen so not bad considering 1426 she knows that is going to hurt her on the leaderboard she had a lot of athletes between where she needed to be across that finish line and she just had to look down to all the girls that had finished before her in that look of dam it Haley Adams the final Athlete on the floor with just over 1 minute the crowd is going to urge her up this [Music] rope vanal 20th Place that is going to sting that’s a lady who is dominating the Tan Pro mattye sturt goes and celebrates with everybody else and cheering on Haley Adams Haley Adams so close come on young lady come on spe K come on come on she just needs to get those hips swinging higher easier said than done when you’re 15 minutes in she won’t have time and that is all that is going to be written today for the female compet ition and this has blown the barn doors off the female competition oh MD St absolutely dominant can you imagine three from three oh look if we know Maddie we know that she’s going to be in disbelief with it but believe it just so humble she’s been to the games four times already it’s absolutely crazy Ella price Michelle Hayes they are having great [Applause] weekends strategy the important bits and some athletes have done strategy well some athletes haven’t let’s head down to Bella Martin on the floor Daisy nice to meet you for the first time we are we were fourth going into this workout you are now sitting in third place moving into the final day of competition does it feel surreal to you or was this what you were expecting here this weekend at torium PR um I don’t know if I was expecting it but I was definitely hoping that it would be the case so stoked after that workout for sure talk me through your mindset that you’ve had going into this weekend it’s all new for you you’re putting on a phenomenal show what are you telling yourself as you’re moving through it um well my coach at the back is my number one training partner so essentially just treating it as if we’re just doing a Saturday night training session yeah very casual mindset something that’s also been very casual we’re three for three now Maddie I think we’re kind of hitting our stride here fourth ever semifinal event win does that feel surreal to you you’re saying it’s new territory does it feel normal now yeah it definitely does I I don’t know what’s going on but it’s pretty cool it’s definitely pretty cool we have three events left to go tomorrow what are you going to do to get ready for tomorrow so we can see you on top of that Podium just eat and sleep it’s it’s real boring but that’s all I want right now well we’re going to eat and sleep and we’ll see everyone here tomorrow but we’ve got the teams coming up first congratulations ladies see not everything is exciting down here Jake Hendrick’s a boring guy Maddy’s going to do boring stuff tonight she’s definitely not boring us here this weekend three from three three mat thirt and casy McDonald my little Dark Horse moving into third and that 20th Place from Caitlyn vanil is going to sting and she’s going to do have to do a lot of recovery tomorrow oh 20th Place in that event for Caitlyn really shakes things up on the female leaderboard she was sitting in the top four position she was one of our contenders coming in been to the games before individual and team she’s got some work to do tomorrow but Daisy McDonald the youngster oh we are so happy to see her hitting her stride as well but oh Maddie St is the name on everyone’s mind now three for three what is she going to do [Music] tomorrow I don’t want to say it can we see a clean sweep from MADD s is she flick that switch now she just mentioned in the interview with Bella it feels normal it doesn’t feel surreal anymore this is what she’s been aiming for and training for can she actually do six from six and really submit herself as the number one going to the CrossFit games again oh look she said she doesn’t know what’s happening but we do she has spent the last few years on the cusp and doing the work to get back there you don’t go to the games four time times without knowing how to do it and how about Smiley I love that for Grace she is having a blast out there the strategy didn’t work in the previous event strategy worked very well but now third place Daisy McDonald but the real story Caitlyn benil the 20th Place finish in that one that is going to drop her down to eighth place haly Adams very very close to finishing P denil 1428 but it is the MADD stt show this weekend and can we just talk about what a contrast we’re seeing with Grace Walton from last year she’s finishing these events with a huge smile on her face compared to last year where she had a bit of disappointment standings after halfway points of the Tan Pro for the individual females Matty stur 300 points Grace only 12 points back that’s crazy to think that there’s only 12 points separating one from two big gap back to Daisy McDonald Daniel Ford now jumping into fourth and some big movers and shakers JMA hope one of those jumping up to 11th individual competition is done for today a big day tomorrow three events for those but the team competition coming to you soon [Music] [Music] all Brian give yourselves a round of applause absolutely

former Toran Pro competitor Hannah Clark that team massive team of volunteers here at tour pro get prepared for the final for the team competition events it’s been a hectic schedule for the teams and now standings after four events season Roar Iran Crosset Mayhem Thunder 388 tan Mayhem 376 and exf 364 a bit of a buffer 24 points back to Chocolate Box star strength and another four points back to aride it is all on the line now and all we’re after is our top three teams Mayhem thunder only dropping 12 points over the enti weekend so far they have been impressive as long as the top three keep doing their thing and no major glitches we will see those top three teams qualify but as we’ve seen over the course of today pip anything can happen oh anything indeed it has been absolutely Electric in here we have the greatest crowd in the world I’m biased but they’ve been bringing the energy to these athletes all day long ex exf there is so much support in the crowd as there was 2 years [Music] ago we’re so nonjudgmental down here as well pip you can do whatever you like with in reason we’ve already had a shoy today does a Crocs does that count as a shoy that has holes in it can’t really hold a lot of liquid in your shoy if you’re doing it with a Croc now the thing is our teams have finished in about an hour what sort of state of they going to be in tomorrow when they Rock up but we are going to welcome out our Heat number one athletes to the competition for for the final time for 2024 here at the torum [Music] pro a great blend of young and old not just across the heat in the same team this is the final Event Event number five four rounds for time each pair completing five synchronized of bar melops 10 worm cleaner jerks 15 burpees over the worm and then they will lunge the worm to each station down the floor with a 16-minute Time cap back end of a very grueling schedule gock steps to success fast Transitions and communication got the synchronized elements in this event require a lot of communication between the athletes have time to beat around the world last week CrossFit butchers lab chaos 10 minutes 40 seconds our Lan assignments for number one male star strength wild cards in two ruar in three greater West in four creates from Melbourne in five and papa Mo Monga part in Lane number six [Music] not too far away from starting Jam Orby very relaxed from Papa [Music] MOA five synchronized bar muscleups seeing different combinations here p we’ve got some female femal some male males and [Music] male so five required from both pairs and then get to work on the worm Poco oh how about that white belt [Applause] we spoke about fast transitions as being one of the steps to success the transitions for the team that are crucial is getting on and off this worm it’s pretty loud in here down the competition Flor you would expect it to be a lot louder the music is pumping crowd has been excellent today how do you ensure communication is held to the highest stand and everyone can actually understand what’s going on look on the worm having one athlete calling the shots and the same with the Synchro BMA slabs having one athlete that’s leading the pace so it doesn’t get too confusing with everyone shouting at each other do you make that your first athlete or your last if you’re on first you’re actually yelling towards An Empty Arena if you’re last you’ve got three athletes in front of you we’re seeing a mixture on the floor Jeremy we’ve got a couple of teams where looks like their team captains calling it from wherever they are on the worm see a lot of teams use the tactic of having their front Athlete on the worm that calls it they miscommunication causing a bit of confusion there all athletes have got to be chest down on the ground at the same time before they can all pop up team listen to Franchesco what you do but difficult we mentioned like not a minute earlier how hard communication’s going to be on the floor it’s difficult out [Applause] there if in doubt just hit the deck and wait to wait till all four team members are on the floor before you can move on to your next rep [Applause] I think is a good tactic to have is having one of your back athletes signaling that everyone’s down because they can see you know your two athletes at the front can’t see if the back two have their chest [Applause] down what’s a create getting a no rep there in the pink shirts picking the worm back up now as raer West start their lunge down the floor [Applause] 23.6 M 12 ft for each of the luning stations create with Seb Vargas and Joe J to the right of [Applause] screen to West with the two girls Sam tumbridge and Cat Owen [Applause] athletes from Crossfit create just a little bit of a communication breakdown there the athletes have to be synchronized at the top both at the top at the same [Music] time and elbows locked out of course of course Roxy George ch Marco star strength W carts from monovale [Music] [Applause] Franchesca lakco Roxy [Music] George Lackey andali binding for Star strength wild cards to the right hand side [Applause] the worm is just so unforgiving it’s 165 kilos 365 lb and the sections all are different as well there’s two 100 lb sections and two 70 lb sections so what you’re saying is if we’re a pair I would take the 70 you take the 100 exactly exactly how we would do it but also to add on top of that the separators those red Parts they’re also 6B to add to it as well of course yeah we do see most teams doing the male female male female structure as they hold the worm and now as they Burpy over the worm [Music] some athletes really starting to struggle with this let’s head down to Bella Martin on the floor for more I’m watching as these athletes are working through this Synchro burpees over the worm which is normal it’s a normal thing we see in team workouts but in lane two a CrossFit monaville star wild cards I’m hearing more no reps than I am hearing them hitting the deck on time Sinker before they’re jumping up I’ve seen no reps on the burpees no reps on the muscleups for this team it’s not looking good for them I think they’re just trying to move too fast yeah I would agree with you Bella someone needs to take the lead on that one and tell everyone just to slow down a bit and just wait for that judge’s signal it’s not worth doing all that extra work unlock

upping the game of this Sport with this absolutely awesome kid ra West still in the [Applause] lead far back only 5 Seconds back CrossFit create from Melbourne greater West from Sydney and they seem to be rocking along Bella mentioned it before just about how frustrating it can be back end of a very grilling weekend you probably sick of seeing the other three people and you can tell by the way the worm is hitting the ground if it’s hitting the ground nice and straight you know things are going going well when it’s a mess then you know things aren’t going so well the positioning of the worm is also really important as you said if it’s hitting the ground a mess then the athletes are having to straighten it up spend that time bent over at it making it in better position to pick it up before they pick it up the teams that are more efficient on the worm are dropping it nice and straight and they’re able to get straight onto it similar to if you were dumping a barbell down and letting it roll all over the floor for having to waste time chasing it create greater West doing well your leaders to the left Al greater West and Hornell plenty of experience under his belt and he’ll be guiding this team along nicely samd Tim good at the back not sure who’s actually calling trying to see to is Tim good at the back of these ladies having to redo their hair after grabbing a worm and throwing it on their ear have you ever had your ponytail caught in the worm it’s bad it’s something that females have got to think about you’ve got to get rid of your earrings obviously CU you don’t want your earrings in if hitting the ear with the [Music] worm all these little 1centers that teams need to think about going into team [Music] competition 10 and 1 half minutes in 16 minutes on our clock Joe jelf at the front CrossFit creates varus behind him General lenich and Clara Alamance make up the team from Melbourne C Owen to the right Sam tumbridge on the [Applause] left girls Glock out using that as a bit of a rest greater West are doing a really good job with this event communication no problem for them one more you mention it communication is the key heard it just in one more team knows exactly what they need to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] do look at the risk of sounding really obvious but you’re not out there as an individual you’re there as a team so everything you do affects the team if you’re not watching the judge for that signal or you’re not listening to your other teammate it’s costly on the time now ruach starting to make a move on create they are only 13 seconds behind R West still out in front by about 50 seconds [Applause] P West edging ever so close to finishing their [Applause] [Music] [Applause] weekend welome back again wonderful communication Shay King for papam Moa mangap Jo Jes steing his CR create to potentially a second place finish in this heat monal star looking much better on their worm now they seem to have gotten it together you just don’t have the time to try and work things out inside an event they’re such a young Team all this experience will really help them in the future you put the Locker on a p I spoke too soon yes you did oh that was my fault I’m sorry just absolute fatigue at the end of a very grueling weekend this is only day two but they have been put through the ringer busy schedule yesterday with three events to today they’ve also got quite a height difference between their girls and their guys it’s making that worm bend through the middle makes it hard to [Applause] control and great finish the greater West team Tim good Nathan Hornet Sam tumbridge and Cat [Music] [Applause] [Music] 90 seconds left first of our Heats for our teams we’re going to find out soon who is going to the CrossFit Games [Music] [Applause] [Music] the girls creates little bit slower than the boys to get back and forth from these burpees may allow ruach who are moving much quicker to play some catchup create the 40 seconds to go looks Z 38 are going to hold on to that second place position yes they [Applause] will tough going ruach now will be our third place team and they are going to have to move to get over this Finish Line third place to cross the Gardner Jordan Sherwood Nixon Gardner Tyler py big congratulations to Josh and Nixon as well for their eight years being [Music] [Applause] married and I am 100% sure every single team is happy that is over I think when you look at event five for the team you fall into the Trap of going okay the Synchro bar muscle ups you know might pose a bit of a problem but really most of these teams were really smooth on the Synchro bar muscle up no trouble at all but the worm that’s where the problems were happening lots of communication breakdown just that trouble under fatigue meeting the standards greater West though they were nice and smooth from start to [Music] [Music] finish great couple of days of competition they’ve had from greater West one of those teams that have got so much experience under their belt I bring it to a competition floor like this and you get results like that right to West finishing up in first place Ru Ark finishing in third and creates picking up that second place position some great work from our heat one teams papam map part and also ruach traveling from over in New Zealand great New Zealand contingent here this [Applause] [Music] weekend CR it creates there’s plenty of love it’s a crowd it has been absolutely awesome crowd this weekend got a day to go [Music] crazy to think that normally we’d be getting ready to get things sorted for our day three of competition which we are for individuals but for our teams we’re only three Heats away from announcing who’s going to the CrossFit Games this is crazy it is a very strange feeling Jeremy it’s exciting though no doubt the teams will appreciate finishing up today and having tomorrow to digest what what’s happening come and enjoy what’s happening on the competition FL here for the individuals I think all the teams have spoken to were pretty excited to be able to kick back on a Sunday and enjoy the individual competition as we welcome our second heat of four to the competition floor the final time these teams will be here no cross games aspirations for any of these teams unfortunately but it is our final Event Event number five five and four rounds of five Synchro bar muscleups from the entire team in Synchro pairs 10 worm cleaner jerks 15 burpees over the worm 12T worm lunging as they progress down the floor or 3.6 m 16 minute time cap and Heat number one some of the teams made it look quite difficult there was a lot of issues on the worm in Heat number [Music] one it’s tough at this point of competition to really hit those standards and hit them properly without having to do extra work big time and go rock steps to success fast Transitions and communication as we just said the communication on the worm crucial some teams working it out from the start some working it out on the Fly our lane assignments for Heat number two number of Sydney based teams monovale Hiro we chocolate box 129 168 Crossing concept just up the [Music] road mea white from over in New Zealand and iron body from Western Australia [Music] his looks of absolute joy and looks of absolute [Applause] [Music] fear the start of our third last Heat no surprise Kiri making easy work of their B muss mag Davis gymnastics background Pedro and Mari as well from 16a suing it very simply Jak 80 from Star strength monovale Sammy Mo she’s at the time of her life hasn’t she I think Sammy was happy to get through those B mus slops she’s only what 10 months post baby number two she’s killing it we mention it in Heat number one that worm hits the ground in a bit of a mess we know things are a bit of a [Music] mess seeing some much smoother reps from the teams in Heat number two but the burpees is where the problems really began for last he Jord Bailey at the front of ir body light pink shirt to the left of screen warie job mea white on the right I love how I embody uh simultaneously setting pulling the worm in close and then picking it up now you mentioned before CrossFit kir and their proficiency on the bar if you’re not wasting much time getting your bar muscleups done You’ got to have a little bit more rest time when you do get to these I’m going to call them grueling cuz they are but that Split Second rest in the bottom of the Burpee you’ve got extra time to spend down there if you need it their teams could have used that in the previous [Applause] heat and one to n meca white and now chocolate box our top three IR body not too far away from finishing either [Applause] [Music] so you can see what the athletes are doing they are lunging forward over the line and reversing back over the line the requirement is to Lunge the worm over then bring it back to the starting position inside the segment just those little intricacies we’ve been seeing over these team events the last couple of days just making it that little bit harder no reps coming and you don’t want a no rep on the worm especially when you have to pick it back up again James portelli in a rush to get forward for reim Kira one more mck Davis Emily fenick and Ryan Le back back back back they need a reversing beeper like a truck alvar’s got that sorted out back back back back back back it’s just like reversing beep on a on a truck hey I got it hey I got it sounded like a chicken a duck or something but team knows exactly where they need to be and when [Applause] 168 getting their first pair through their bar muscleups in Lan number seven now if kway can keep these worm reps nice and clean and not do any extras they can really set themselves apart here now what they’re doing which is really really clever Ryan Le at the back with no shirt on he’s deliberately delaying his Burpy at the back cuz he is calling the Reps because he knows once he is down the entire team is ready to go looking around so good this is stuff you need to practice this is teamwork I think by now as well we’ve seen the worm at every team event in CrossFit for how many years now I think if you want to have a contending team you need to have a worm in your gym you need to be practicing it all the time and doing the the yucky stuff that you don’t want to do picking it up off the ground all the time when you’re absolutely fatigued Kira we they are doing a great job [Music] [Applause] smooth from kir again no reversing beep required just back it up that’s all they needed wait until they’re behind now you can go [Applause] oh judges all over this this [Applause] weekend a big thank you to Northern Spirits applying all of our athletes with some amazing uniform kit this weekend each athlete receiving multiple tops and bottoms and personalized not only to the awesome Toran Pro that is but to their athlete and the affiliate as well that they represent all optional to wear of course but Northern Spirit is upping the game of this Sport with these [Music] K Kira we about 40 seconds ahead of Mecca about 10 seconds Ahad head to iron body and about 2 seconds back to 129 things getting pretty tight on the competition floor for the second place in this [Applause] heat and the same again Ryan Le the firefighter by trade and deliberately waiting till everyone’s ready then he picks up great strategy I love how teammates are getting down there and they wait for him they’re not budging they don’t have a choice you follow this things go smoothly if you don’t we know how they did Heat number one exhibit a halfway through their time cap wanie cholene Dylan T just saw Joan gasping for a few breaths of air Mecca have the advantage of having taller female SS their men and their women are pretty evenly spread with their height making it bit easier to keep that worm nice and straight wani at the front Jolene L and then married couple till Dean at the back D tan I should say but you’re right the height difference between the two couples is perfect you can see the the worm progress slowly from higher to lower [Applause] y lots of communication breakdowns happening out there Jeremy massive this is tough stuff [Applause] Kira final round coming up they are under split times Jake La trying to lift ped worm on his own that ain’t going to work [Applause] [Music] [Applause] y the little things when it comes to the worm to have one athlete just a little bit slower than everyone else throws a worm off the whole thing’s got to hit the ground at the same time again deliberately waiting for Ryan Le at the back they know they’re close [Music] [Applause] only 10 cliners I say only one rep taking about five or 6 [Applause] seconds Bailey cing [Music] power hband wife Dylan andan MTI oh they in sync love it body joining their girls Johnson Christy [Music] bar love it let’s go you don’t have a choice you got to you said that before couple hours back you said it’s a choice or they’re forced to do something but sometimes some of the athletes you don’t have the choice you just got to go that’s what happens when you sign up to do the team competition choice is almost taken out of it in these events just got to do it for your [Applause] [Music] team jelli Emily fenick Ryan Le mag Davis [Applause] [Music] cawi in the southern suburbs of Sydney looking the goods this is a team that is in tune they’ve been doing their homework that is for sure they just know exactly when to move where to move to without even speaking a word they know exactly what’s going on [Applause] making the judges job very easy and they are finished for the weekend at 13 minutes J kir taking out this second of four hits [Music] [Music] just about 13 and 1/2 minute into the 16-minute cap are we going to get another team across the Finish Line oh I think we’re going to get another couple that last little bit not taking these teams too long once they get rid of the cleaner [Music] jerks IR body Mecca bottom of the screen [Music] iron body now it’s over just over two minutes left Jordan [Music] Bailey in power Bri Johnson Christy bar absolutely well done what a weekend careful of those low fives what Bri Johnson in the [Music] face 29 James Kean Nick lella Richards and pushka great work from tush three team

Davis oh mag Davis she’s no stranger to this competition floor now she’s been out here year after year Kira we are really starting to get a name for themselves down the Oceania as a really strong team that just show up year after year concept from Newcastle bit of trouble with the worm over the last couple of days they did have some team changes this last minute they’ve done so well Sammy Moore a veteran out on that competition floor kir way just so strong with their communication everybody knew what they had to do [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the worm was absolutely no problems at all for [Applause] Kiri 13 minutes for CrossFit Kiri wreck gym iron body sneak in with 1406 very respectable couple of days of competition for them CrossFit 129 team otn 1428 we got a few teams over the line rookie we did and just goes to show teamwork absolutely does make the dream work and it feels weird that we’re too heat in we got two Heats to go and the team competition is done it’s a weird one but these athletes on the floor deserve it all Pedro deala leading his 168 team off the floor crowd haven’t budged [Applause] now that is what we like to see party time here on Saturday nights outstanding if you’re tuning in wherever you’re tuning in right around the world you’re missing out you need to be here familiar faces in the crowd our side yes our side in two Heat’s [Applause] [Music] time need something special to book their ticket to the Cross hit games this year as we welcome out Heat number three to the competition floor the final time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] when you come onto the floor anticipation exhaustion all of those emotions hitting you this is the final event for the teams Heat number three event five four rounds of five Synchro muscle ups for each pair 10 worm cleaning jerks 15 burpees over the worm and 12T or 3.6 M worm lunge to the next station 16-minute time cap and expect the communication to get a little bit better the cohesion will be better let’s hope Zeke Groves a little better and now go up steps to success fast Transitions and communication see messaged me this morning and his kids absolutely loved the shout out yesterday and they’re shouting at the TV the crossed carve is where zek Grove’s gym is sitting K Maya a young kiwi team that have got a big future but we have got some teams in this heat that have provided us with some great entertainment and great performances right throughout the weekend exf 2 have been awesome as well Alex herwin and Ma mly and also pump and dump of course pump dump the last time we get to say pump and dump on air how could we [Applause] forget he’s Tamaki reneg [Music] Gates he accept two team in Lane number seven sending Shah cron Millard andar dinmore first off and the big boys in pink Alex on this side Maas on the far side they can lift heavy stuff but they can also move beautiful synchronization and movement getting those hips up so high to the bar just a little bit of work left with their elbows at the top I think Matias is probably going to sit at the front of this woman man handle it Renegades Tom Bosley at the front Jim Ellis Callum gford and Gabby Nappa Callum around in 2014 Gabby been here for the last two years no rep oh and I don’t know if that annoys you or if it’s my OCD but when the worm hits the ground not flat and straight really annoys me I get [Music] [Applause] frustrated pump and dump one of our first team Schwarz is also exf 2 and Kaya in the center of the Arena K Maya bagging and no rep in the center Roman having to fix up that worm Travis willamson at the front of Taurus Taurus with really strong communication from the back on their bbies we’re seeing the fastest teams on this event they’re going with their back athlete waiting that extra second before they go down so that everyone else has got their chest on the [Music] ground now I don’t mind what Gabby Napp is doing just using that extra space on the outside of the arena for her Burpee which is wonderful schwarz’s cross it mour Alex Nikki Elliot be heading back now thank you Elliot for fixing up my OCD straing up that worm he must have heard me so did [Applause] Louie kiah are down and back exf two at the top you mentioned the go rock steps to success before with communication poppy hay she has communicated all weekend with her team whether it’s doing this sort of stuff or running or whatever it is she has been wonderful hasn’t she and still communicating center of the Arena they’ve done the schwarz’s name really proud this weekend no doubt Benji will be watching on so big good day to Benji Schwarz one of the original affiliate owners in Australia he may have been number two or three [Applause] [Music] loving the audio we’re getting through the feed of the actual communication from each of the teams I think that’s poppy hay you can hear yelling well it’s loud down there you got to be the loud for you team to hear you also some of the athletes at the back might not be able to see their judge signaling them Schwarz is the worm crumbling underneath them look just straightening up the worm is taxing 365 lb 165 kilos that is not easy to straighten up it’s just a dead weight you need to shift as we come 5 minutes into our third heat of four let’s head down to the competition FL with bamont as we’ve progressed through these Heats we’re seeing fewer and fewer no reps as the experienced teams know how to move slow and steady which they know to be fast I’m having fun watching all of these teams for the final time but most honestly my favorite team to watch this weekend has been CrossFit Melbourne Schwarz they have lit up every single heat they’ve been in they are flawless with the execution and honestly they like they’re having fun when they’re doing it and that’s all you can really ask from these guys I agree with you Bella CrossFit Melbourne Schwarz as we said doing the name proud they’re one of the ogs down here in the Oceania region just so much experience out on that floor and in an event like this experience does count for everything as you said just having that composure yeah watching the earlier Heats with the younger team team especially a lot of teams that are comprised of mostly rookies not to say anything on you rookie but they are struggling out there when it comes to trying to find that Temple that they can maintain through this final event if I was them honestly I’d probably be trying to get finish with this final event too I’m tired just watching them it’s been a long two days for these teams a lot of volume for these teams and Schwarz is doing the job the most successful affiliate in the Oceania region to date but not in the leag currently our two kiwi teams pump and dump and Kaya your two leaders Northern Spirit supplying all of our athletes with amazing uniform kit each athlete receiving multiple tops and bottoms that are personalized not only to the Tan Pro but to the actual athlete and also so their affiliate they’re representing all optional to wear of course the Northern Spirit is upping the game in this Sport with this amazing kit L Foster from plus six4 cross pump and dump it’s like when you drop something and it goes everywhere doesn’t fall exactly where you want it to go and that something weighs 165 kilos FR Bon it Gibbs Aiden taaki and Kyler McKenzie the McChicken who’s given us so much joy and happiness this weekend highing judges Smiles bouncing around the place she has been [Applause] [Music] awesome have two to the right of the screen I like how Matias is just throwing that over his head like it weighs [Applause] [Music] nothing Schwarz on the left pump and dump in the middle exf 2 on the right all wanting to finish strongly kire no just getting him no rep we heard that from here everyone around the world heard that no R they’ve all got to be down on the ground at the same time chest down this is where it starts to fall apart with the worm is when team members are starting to get fatigued and they stop listening that’s the wonderful programming of the entire event the five different events of the semifinal you incorporate something that’s really simple to do but difficult to execute under fatigue and here you have it clean and jerk with the worm Burpee over the worm lunge with the worm it’s not that difficult but when you’re tired things get pretty tough K Maya heading back Emily Julian Nicole Smith Kaya got a bit lucky there because they CED that no rep which let pump and dump make up some space on them but then they c a no rep so distance [Music] again Taurus on the far left lane one don’t discount them they’re sneaking up on the outside and they’re only 18 seconds behind Kaya pump and dump only a second or two behind Taurus Travis Williamson on the left ran Martin on the [Music] right judge Trevor on the right as well looking very [Music] [Applause] serious Roman Blackman at the front [Music] [Applause] taus are in second pump and dump in third all three New Zealand teams Kira still holding that lead Taurus are just looking that Bit Stronger on the worm moving a bit [Music] quicker interesting Travis and Regan swapping positions halfway through what’s the benefit of that interesting tactic it could be to give one of the athletes more weight second from the back does cop a lot to rean taking the frontt for the team again doing the same thing yesterday with the runs he’s also the tallest so it’s just going to happen anyway whether he likes it or [Applause] not no doubt Frankie and banks are watching back home mom and dad doing a great job in the middle of this worm alash and rean little Jordy mom’s doing really well Jordy back of the tourist team I’ve actually loved the way tourists have gone about their business and caught up k with the last five and tus the last five last rep now for Kia Maya center of the [Applause] Arena we now Lune to finish the last little bit taus are done but there won’t be enough time Kira still time to beat it 13 minutes as K Meer cap up a very successful weekend for this young [Applause] team and one we are going to see a lot more of Taurus again another wonderful weekend as leash goes thanks re for signing up for another one next year both teams sneaking in under 14 minutes and pum their favorite up here one pump up let’s go can you just stay around forever just bringing such great energy to the teams competition freezing hot bottom of screen car two up as exf 2 with Maas leading the charge tomara Alex sh great weekend [Music] so I bet they’re happier than they look they’re just really tired they’re probably hoping their exf team in Heat number four can do the job snag one of those top three qualifying spots to the CrossFit Games we’re going to know in less than 40 minutes who is going only 45 seconds left left of our clock freezing hot are going to get home and I’m not sure if any of the other teams are going through car are going to be close Brody Braden Taylor and Lauren another good showing from freezing hot CrossFit as Mitch Lura zek and Nicola finished their weekend with 15 seconds to [Applause] spare the final two teams on the floor are not going to have time to get done and that is Schwarz who have fallen a little bit of a hole in the last couple of rounds and East Tamaki Renegades are two of our most experienced cilian not able to get the job done [Music] [Applause] [Music] Kira we still your time to beat at 13 minutes Kar at [Applause] 1337 and our second last Heat of the team competition gave us a good mix bag lots of experience out on that floor also lots of rookies too as you said a mix bag CrossFit Melbourne Schwarz say the name is definitely not new but a new team for them Kaya putting on a great performance from start to finish holding on to that [Music] lead Tores got close but it was not close [Applause] enough kir away from the previous Heat their time is still going to stand 13 minutes flat great result from K meire Taurus I reckon another round Taurus would have had Kia pump and dump so the Kiwi is representing in Heat number three with those top three spots he’s Tamaki the fourth not able to get the job done with schwarz’s but exf 2 another of those teams with so much support In This Crowd and they will just get better and [Music] [Music] better anticipation coming everyone waiting to see what is going to be happening in Heat number four now standings after to four events we we have only five team events 388 points for Mayhem Thunder back to tan Mayhem at 376 and exf and 364 so barring any sort of major mishap we’re looking at possibly our top three qualifiers already chocolate box star strength and aide grit not too far behind either the three teams with a real chance to upset definitely all the talent to upset it’s just whether or not they could beat our top three teams and get some other teams in between them as well it’s a points game look I want to see ourside be a cat mons of pigeons and try and get back there are they going to do it I don’t know but I want to see them try that’s all we want to see something amazing we’ve seen some magic here today at Pat rafter Arena more magic please and of tight finishes right across our heat I was thinking that rean and Leash Martin’s kids Frankie and Banks were back home watching from New Zealand I was wrong they’re right here they just picked them up in the crowd of course they’re here got to see Mom and Dad [Music] perform the medals teams hoping they can get their hands on them in 16 minutes or less the second day here at the Tan Pro where we paint the pro pink in support of Hannah Clark and her children and raising awareness for domestic violence and it has been an incredible day of competition [Applause] the crowd has been absolutely buzzing and they are going to buzz some more we’re going to find out shortly who our top three qualifiers are going to the CrossFit Games and hold on to your hats here they come oh would you listen to this crowd Jeremy Austin pip Malone and Bella Martin with you and I’ve heard some crowds before pip but that’s been pretty good exf have got a massive cheer squad here for our final Event Event number five four rounds of five Synchro muscleups for each pair 10 worm cleaning jerks 15 burpees over said worm and 12T or 3.6 M worm lunge to finish things off 16 minutes on our time cap I don’t about you pip but I’m pretty excited our go rock steps to success fast Transitions and communication this is going to be massive was side the team that need to bring it hly honey happy to dance as Lane assignments for heat four Cesar aside in Lane number seven so not a bad allocation for them they can just Chip Away nicely on the outside but we’ll be looking at Mayhem Thunder tan Mayhem and exf Lane three four and five if they can finish in the top 10 times all three will will go to the crossing games well top 10 doesn’t sound like much of an ask but anything can happen in the team’s competition in the final [Music] event Mayhem Thunder needs 13th or better to go tan Mayhem needs 10th or better and exf needs seventh or better to clinch qualifying you would expect these top teams to be in our top five teams of the entire competition KH Porter absolutely pumped and ready to go [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh holding them for a little bit longer I love it underway for our final heat of our final event for the team’s competition it’s only day two [Music] [Applause] our vent record held by CrossFit butchers lab chaos in 10 minutes and 40 seconds event records have been falling like [Applause] [Music] [Applause] raindrops now you mention it pip communication probably the number one key to success you’re one of the top teams in the ocean region the final day of competition you would expect they’ve done their homework with this [Applause] work the thing is with this final heat and qualification spots on the line try and control yourself a little bit not get that heart rate jacked up too high [Music] [Applause] mistake from exf immediately which is allowing mayem Thunder and tan Mayhem to sneak up communication breakdowns at the start when you fresh something they’re going to have to rectify really quick because it’s only going to get worse when they’re tired probably a good thing it did happen early hey we know what we need to do let’s fix it let’s move on 16

earlier on the banter between those three has been absolutely epic I love that it started with just Jay and Ricky and then Bailey gets in on it as well the more the merrier I say oh big time but the teams they are done for the weekend we throw back over the five team events which one did you think was the most difficult uh not just talking about physically I’m talking about overall I think looking at the two days I think event one and event five that first one was pretty tough a lot of reps the running really buckled people in event number three late yesterday but mentally this one was tough event number five cuz I just had to think so much and the volume on the worm has been massive but the standard as well has been so strict they haven’t been allowed to get away with anything which is what we want to see but it really just adds to that fatigue the judge Michael Berg right on point with his team and a big thank you to all of our judges and volunteers right throughout the weekend we’ve still got a day to go so they need to rest up get ready for tomorrow let’s go down to the competition floor for our presentation for the team competition all right we are about to
