@jonjones229 How can I watch the replay? I paid for ESPN+ but now that the live stream is over, it’s asking for a tv provider. I was watching it late and missed all the womens!

 

[dawn16]

@samtop I ran into this last night: go to the search, type in crossfit, two different selections will display. I had to pick the second in line but it may differ for others.

@jonjones229 Where can I watch the first heats that weren’t on espn of Helena?!

 

[st333333]

@rene88 ESPN+

 

[rene88]

@jonjones229 Where can I watch the event 5 heats that’s weren’t on espn?! Can’t find it anywhere

 

[littlefox]

@rene88 YouTube has them now.

 

[rene88]

@littlefox Can you send a link? Still not seeing it

 

[littlefox]

@rene88 Search CrossFit games day 2 primetime

 

[rene88]

@littlefox Maybe it’s not available is the US just yet.

 

[littlefox]

@rene88 Im so sorry, you're probably right. I should have posted the link the first time.

I wonder if it's available now:

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Did the DB snatch standard change? Lots of men changing hands over their heads.

 

[winman]

@dawn16 You could always change hands overhead except in, I think, 2018

 

[dawn16]

@winman Ahhh ok. I thought it had to be below eye level. Maybe that’s just a rule at my gym so nobody drops dumbbells in their heads.

 

[winman]

@dawn16 That was the rule that one year, then they just dropped it

 

[sleepingsubject]

@jonjones229 Am I doing this wrong? I am watching the ESPN window thru YouTubeTv which has access to that programming. However, for two nights in a row, the ESPN broadcast has only included the last heat of the event. Essentially, I am missing 80% of the athletes.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong? Located in the US if that matters.

 

[seattlehope]

@sleepingsubject The early heats are on ESPN+. It’s $10/month to signup for it. I set an alarm to cancel it after the games. Annoying as hell, but, the coverage has been on point.

 

[sleepingsubject]

@seattlehope You’re awesome! Thank you for the explanation.

 

[dcpdendo]

@jonjones229 Am I the only one, thinking that putting the men’s final heat last was stupid? It’s not only unfair to the other men (longer resting time, cooler outside temperatures) but it also takes away the spotlight away from the women, who would have definitely earned the spotlight.

@dcpdendo However, it gave more recovery time between Helena and the 5K to the earlier heats. Those heats can get body work, food, and be laying down in their hotel bed by the time the last heat was starting.
