@jonjones229 For those that missed it live,
You can watch it on YouTube still, I’m watching it right now. Enjoyed the workouts today. Also enjoyed everyone being confused by the exact kilos they were lifting
@jonjones229 Overall I’m pretty impressed. I do feel for the poor spectators though, it looks freezing! Hopefully some extra bodies filling the space over the weekend will help.
The coverage is great. When you add up the viewing figures across the three channels (filthy150, MCU and the CrossFit Games) the viewership is pretty decent for a Friday/day 1 of a competition. At the time of writing it’s up to 69k
@followerofchrist12 To be fair, the spectators are weather hardened locals, we dress for it. I spent ages laughing my ass off at the guys getting topless for the snatch workout. Ultimate display of ego lifting.
@dayagri Yes! I was there too and had about 10 layers on me. The heating only went on half way through the snatch event. I could not for the life of me figure out why some of the athletes were half naked.
@jonjones229 [Event 1 - Handwalk Hurry] I understand there being pride in being an athlete and all, but if you cant finish the HSW in the 2 min window, and need to go back to start the next HSW, then you should just stop. No reason to blow yourself out if you can't actually finish.
@rasnosauj I was part of that 1/8th. There were lots more over the other side behind the camera.
It’s typical of any weekend event that the crowds come Saturday and Sunday.
Also, the event is held in Naas, not Dublin, don’t know why they keep saying Dublin, it’s a different town altogether
@rasnosauj Everyone was facing the athletes so the camera was at the same angle with the crowd behind it. Place was actually pretty busy considering it was a Friday afternoon. Tomorrow will be busier
I was the same though had plenty layers!
