Not sure if you're a crossfitter, but it's the same concept behind kips. It's not about building strength in the movement (during competition), it's about the efficiency. He's loading his hips up with the (hyper)extension and driving them back to pull the feet forward. The form complies with the requirements of the movement (feet back, chest/sternum to ground, touch 6" above reach).
None of the workouts would really benefit a specialist as they're all mix modal and pretty basic CrossFit style workouts. If the event was 1RM Clean and Jerk for example, the leaders would look a bit different. And that's just including people signed up for the Open. As greater proof, Chad Vaughn of the US Oly team did the first workout which includes heavy snatches and did not place very high. He holds a national record on one of the lifts. I can't remember offhand which one or his weight class
I get that people like Rich Froning and Kristan Clever and Annie Thorisdottir are amazing athletes and top crossfitters all-around, but does anyone find it suspicious that they always get the highest scores in each of the Open WODs? You'd figure with 140,000 competitors, there would be specialists who get higher scorers for specific exercises? I get these guys are better all-around, but it is suspicious when they are first for every single workout, no matter how different they are.

i mainly bodybuild but i fawking love crossfit LFG 2013!
scott pan. may very well hit the top 3 this year. Hats off to dan though, crazy motor and one strong dude.
Remember when I did this I couldnt do 165 snatch at alll :(
Dude said 245 reps on 13.1 I'm laughing so hard right now.
total dissension on the number
Scotty. In 12.1 scott panchik tied in the first wod with some unknown guy
scott's burpees aren't burpees. he doesn't even do the push-up component. he just sits back onto his knees/raises his hips, then opens his hips
Patrick H. Nguyen a burpee is just getting your chest to the ground
Dan is the bridesmaid again!

Anybody else notice the judge touching Panchik's weights at 30:29? Like seriously, wtf dude..
I couldn't get the sound for the interview. Audio Engineer = Epic Fail
"calm, cool, collective pace..." actually, they're really tired.
ひたすらスナッチとバーピーをやっているだけなのに、こんなに観客がいてよく盛り上がれるなぁ・・・っていう私もずっと見てますけど\(//∇//)\

Awkward!
I don't believe you got a score like 245 for a second... Nice try though
