Can’t wait to see Mal at the finals this year, especially since Matt’s been coaching her.
that iss a fun fact
M&M combo🔥
Couldn't agree more
That’s a fact like Jar Jar Binks “ISSA FACTS”!🤣🤣
@@SuperMortiki no ijjjjjj. Kioi
I was trying to figure out what to do as a new adult and this young woman wins an event in one of the most stacked events in the games. Good on you kid, keep up the amazing work.
I admire her dedication and motivation. Such talents are rare at her age.
seriously impressive athlete!
1:56 I would definitely not be dropping the bar and having to clean it back up again if I didn't need to. And Mal definitely didn't need to. She has the engine and strength and clearly knew her game plan. Awesome work!
i think theres actually an argument to be made that holding the bar overhead is actually less fatiguing than putting it down, as if you put it down you have to complete an extra "clean" to get the bar back to position to begin reps, so a little bit short sighted of the announcer to be calling it out so harshly.
Agreed. Locked out in an overhead press with a very submaximal weight is a rest position. Adding more cleans would have drained too much energy for her with her strategy. The announcer's continued advice against her approach was getting pretty old!
You guys both understand. Strange how the announcer doesn’t
@@40yearoldasian whats strange is how the announcer was wrong about everything he said lol and im pretty sure that announcer is Dave Castro, and they were so bias toward Tia it was annoying. Everything Mal did they said wouldnt work lol
@@ryanmolnar6783 I wouldn't say he got everything wrong but he did contradict himself a bit when discussing what Mal can do and then saying she shouldn't pause at the top.
And the voice is not @davecastro. Plus I don't think he would say something like that

Mal is just unbelievable!!! Wow
I’ve never watched this sport before but damn sure will start too. Definitely makes you proud watching this and sharing the same last name with the winner. She’s a true warrior spirit
even with so much leg drive, 150lbs ohp for so many reps is no joke. pretty impressed!
#135 . Its a #25 bar. Still insanely impressive. I would die
She is incredible. Hope she will win this year.
When she was only 17, she could teach 99% of adults discipline and sacrifice. All my respect for her 👏👏👏👏
That's what we call DEDICATION Bravo Mal :)
She’s such a champion and a warrior💪🏻
Champion? When did she win the Games?
Mal is coming into this season strong, winning the 2022 Open. Check out more videos of her here: th-cam.com/video/C7y4I9UsDao/w-d-xo.html
She just got lucky thats all
Mal is one the best athletes on planet earth!🥰👍🏾👍🏾💪🏼
Mal is a warrior! Amazing work. And a 1st class Coach.
I was literally standing up screaming at my TV when this was live, I was so excited!
We love your energy. Are you going to be streaming Semifinals? We can't wait!
@@CrossFitGamesTV
I will be watching every event of every semi final! Same as last year!
Awesome! Find all the direct streaming links and more details here: games.crossfit.com/article/get-ready-watch-2022-semifinals
*Literally? How 'bout figuratively?
@@alcalu no, literally lol
Go Mal!!
Best part of this whole video was definitely the Hans solo reference
Go Mal! What a performance! We have a lot of strong American females coming up!
This woman is gonna set records.
I think this 08:12 is also a "no-rep" not to take anything away from the win, since it was spectacular mad props
Mal is a badass!! Love watching her get after it
Good work champ
Happy New Year
she looks good enough and young enough to take up a real sport
We will comeback here after Mal will win Games this year #2023 🥇
Very cool.
Gotta love the guy trying to critique Mal and then she crushes it.
Mal O'Brian worked for that yuhhhhhh
Somewhere in the background, Dell Speegle is taking a selfie
There is crowd noise and cheering in the video, but the crowd is sitting quietly without expression. LOL
It will be so excited that Mal competes with Tia in Crossfit Games 2022 and I am gonna watch this game.
I'm in love!
This event is perfect for shorties.
WOW...
Its like Mal has been adopted by the perfect family with Matt as her coach.
She’s got a very bright future ahead of her
We agree, Carlos. Did you get a chance to watch her comment in the Granite Games this past weekend?
@@CrossFitGamesTV yes I saw that
These ladies are beasts. Congratulations to all of them.
Some very impressive young women
Only thing I could lift at 17 was a spliff! Have a feeling I took the wrong path!
😂
Monsterrrr 😌👊🏼💪🏽
bad ass!!
молодцы Девочки

КРАСОТКА!"
She is going to be dangerous this year
age?
17
@@sgavin4340 months?
Good job O’BRIEN !!
im not sure but aint the bar 20kg to?? i work in KG I just looked it up she is lifting 25kg total of 50KG whats the bar also??
As a person that did CrossFit for a little while I still don't understand half the work outs we did lmfao
This will get 200k + views like all of Mal’s videos 😂🏆
Gotta love when the desk jockey is talking smack about the strategy of the person in the lead...like it clearly is working, and she ended up winning the event smh.
That’s what’s I was thinking lol
The one announcer was criticizing her as she led the entire time and won comfortably, not a good look bro
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Super women - all of them. Amazing!
In 2 years she will be un touchable
Them women are so incredibly impressive, Wow, pleasure to watch
8:07 Mal gets a no rep and starts the next rep with anoother no rep. And the Judge is just like 'ya whatever'
You're beautiful and strong Mal 😍🤩
4:28
One in a million genetics, she does not need to win a lottery being blessed with such genetics. Just wow.
She's on steroid btw. It's literally impossible for a girl that young to be that strong without pharmaceutical help.
All these top athletes are in "vitamin s"
I didn't exclude that she's on gear, I said that she has one in a million genetics (it's not possible to achieve such results with only vitamin s and hard work being 20 sth years old, believe me), I'd wish I had at least half of such genetics in my 20s. 😅
@@gniady You didn't mention it at all lol. The fact of the matter is ALL of Crossfit is on gear. She has terrible genetics btw. Just an average girl that got into crossfit and took drugs to compete. Also crossfit is terrible for looking good/being strong.
@@zerox4434 sorry friend but you are wrong. It is not achievable by an average teenager to compete at this level with only gear and hard work, she's blessed with hell of a genetics to those two things above, probably. ;)
haha this announcer got it completely wrong with mal.
Came here for this comment
Looks like Mal got away with at least one no rep
One? At least 9-10
Lol
This is CrossFit, where only the Average Joes like us have to follow the standards. If you’re a star you can cheat reps and it’s fine.
Really, and the judges just missed them? Weird
I can't imagine the damage done to her from starting on gear at such a young age as a female. Hope everything stays good for her in her mid to late years!
@Nils Eik He's prolly not wrong though. It's highly likely that she's on gear.
@@lishengshun2873 its beyond probably. There are definitely genetic freaks out there who will look 100% roided up even when they are not, but even they have genetic limits. She simply has wayyy too much muscle at that level of body fat to be natural. Her frame, literally, could not develop and hold that amount of muscle being that lean.
I'm not against her, probably 90% or more of the people in this contest are on heavy gear. She still beat them all. And at 17! Which is INSANE. But still, that's a lot of drug use during puberty, and I just hope it doesn't have far lasting implications in the later half of her life.
@@Drillbitayler I give her and the others at the top of CrossFit all the credit in the world. It takes so much dedication, literally 24/7 to get to the peak. But to say these athletes are ANYWHERE near clean is ridiculous. Something will happen and an athlete will expose them for encouraging PEDs
all these top female athletes are going to be getting cancer at the age of 40 from their heavy gear use now.
@@samkessler1111 I 100% agree. Taking gear doesn't make you an elite anything without huge effort. It does, however, give you a super unfair advantage against those who do it clean. Since basically nobody in Crossfit is clean, it doesn't bother me in the least. In fact, sometimes I wonder just how much more exciting the Olympics would be if they let people openly dope xD I'm happy they don't, just for the health of the athletes, but it would still be hella fun to watch.
Isso de escalar parede cansa muito e ainda pior um seguido de outro exercício, tem que ter foco pra não cair com a cara no chão
SHOUT OUT to her Coach James Townsend to get her to this level.
Don’t forget EZ Muhammad too
FORMER* Coach. She is all Matt Fraser's now.
Why in the hell are those judges wearing masks?
Ever heard of covid?
❤🌹❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
What good is a belt when you are too tired to brace against it?
Sorry I thought this was a legitimate video. My bad
She is a sister i wish i had
sorry just found it lol works out 61kg a rep jesus I struggle with that at that little 17 year old just kicked my ass well infact all just kicked my ass lol
Tia still going to crush it.
Literally everything the announcers said about Mal was wrong lol. "She is going to burn out resting with her bar over head", "she cant take breaks between the wall walks and the thrusters" lol just watch and color commentate, we dont need your opinions, just facts. They were clearly thinking Tia had this and that the kid couldnt hold her off. Bias from the top of the crossfit games personnel....shocker. Then the interviewer "when youre chasing down the most dominant female" uh....Mal was out front after 9 reps, they were chasing her. The bias here is disgusting.
химией по брови заправлены
And as Han solo once said, you're all clear kid. Let's blow this thing and go home
Only 17 ..she's only gonna get stronger ..2 years..3 max she's gonna be a problem for everyone..Tia is incredible and almost super human for sure and a winning attitude..just saying at 17 your strength isn't even fully there yet...girls gonna deff have a few wins in her future..might be the next Tia if not passed that.
🌍🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🌍
That happens when you get trained by Matt fraser
3rd
Whenever I think about women in the US military I picture these sort or women
women in the military are far less athletic
I would have expected girls with such top physiques to be able to do one proper push up.
Thats not part of the competition so why waste energy. Also yes they all have crazy physiques
Not if the event they’re doing doesn’t require it - why would they.
@@mdurham2137 lame event then.
Weak ass comment
🤣
Take spirits don't break spirits
First!
мне пора вставать с дивана
13:45 Jesus that was cringe. kinda ruins the moment
Grueling competition.
it is very tormenting to see though.
They will have serious knee issues with bad form like that lol
That annoncer should shut it up
Tia toomey is as natty as Mike O Hearn 🤣
Just curious, are these athletes vaccinated?
lol crossfit games
This is not quite the same thing....yeah, in the wrong way too lol
I’d rather watch hotdog water boil
Obviously. That's why you're here. Watching.
And commenting.
@@AlexShiro Karen
@@imfromthestreets5856 awww says the Kevin who's on here whining like an overstuffed hot dog to start with; love a good projection and " rules for thee, not rules for me" 🤣👍👌 primo
Cool, go ahead and do that then.
Go ahead then.
Did they start PED testing these athletes? I remember watching these a few years ago and the women were so obviously on gear it was almost funny but they look natural here.
The CrossFit Games Drug Testing Policy aims to prevent the use of prohibited substances through rigorous testing. See the full Drug Policy here: games.crossfit.com/drug-policy
Here is more information on Drug Testing in CrossFit if you are interested: games.crossfit.com/video/drug-testing-crossfit/games
@@CrossFitGamesTV yeah right. You can fool the people that don't workout, and even some that do. These guys and girls are geared out so stop the bullshit
CrossFit never fails to make me laugh. These women are strong no doubt, but the lifts and movements are all injury prone.
Not to mention all the gear they are on. Not going to be good for them when they're older. If they make it that far
That announcer is a clown.
Jesus, 17 and already juicing that hard
You’ll never see a hater like you doing as good as her
@@coveredbridgecontracting heath wise i'm doing much better, also, stating facts is not hating
Some of the forms were pretty atrocious on those squats..Crosfitt creates nice physiques but it's a funny event as crosfitt athletes are never really ever top actual athletes.
Competitive exercise is fucking ridiculous
Why? Men's netball, fake cricket and fake rugby played in America is ridiculous.
