Daaaaaym how far have these guys come. Now CrossFit champs are winning gold medals in the commonwealth games and world champs in snatch :) awesome to watch progress in the making.
I remember watching this in '09 and being so amazed at the weight these guys were doing. Now... it's a whole 'nother level. Programming has been so refined, it's awesome to watch the development of the athletes every year.
The difference is remarkable if you compare snatches being done now in crossfit to this event in 2009. It's pretty obvious a lot of CrossFitters improved their olympic weightlifting techniques. These are just painful to watch. A lot of muscling that bar overhead, impressive, but wow. Crossfit has come a looong long way.
Yeah, painful to watch indeed. Almost nobody had their arms locked out, nobody received it at the bottom. It's impressive how fast people have gotten better.
All these people hating on the form. This is when the sport is brand new, weightlifting was not done very much and most people did not have proper coaching. St this point the CrossFit Games was essentially people who were generally fit from a bunch of different sports. No one really trained specifically for CrossFit. You could laugh at any athlete in sport in its 3rd year like come on
Its amazing that this all started in a backyard ranch. Now we have packed out stadiums with sold out tickets. Amazing how far health and fitness have improved over the years.
Wow... Crossfit games is like the average CrossFit gym now. Athletes failing at 175lbs? Only one athlete above 225lbs? It's pretty much standard to lift 300lbs at the games now.
Kevin Ogar was paralyzed because the bar hit a stack of plates behind him, launching the bar right back into his spine. These guys each have a log behind them which effectively would do the same damage...crossfit!
Hey dumbass, Ogar's accident happened 5 years AFTER this video happened. Stupid Crossfit should have seen Ogar's injury in the future and not done this in 2009. Shut up and go do a bicep curl.
Disgusting technique. I haven't seen what these guys are doing these days, but if anyone who isn't familiar with the snatch see this video, please do understand that these guys have put themselves in a lot of risk!
It’s amazing how much the sport and athletes have progressed over 10 years!
Those are the worst snatches i have ever seen
sigurd2498 my eyes are bleeding bro what a shit show!
It was in 2009 CF was young and he evolved
Probably coming from a guy who can't snatch worth shit
There grips are to narrow
@@Pavdaddy123 at least he's not a crossfitter

True!!

Mike DC yeah dude, very painful to watch. I don't think any of the lifts I just watched would get full white lights in an actual lifting competition

CrossFit sucks. That’s my response
It amazing to see how these athletes have gotten stronger since 2009!
Ahhaha holy shit. 2016 teens crushing these now

It really is incredible to see the trajectory of the sport, especially the community's fitness levels!
@@CrossFitGamesTV hope I make it to the games one day...hehehe
No wonder crossfit had such a bad reputation in regards to form. These are horrendous. Thankfully ames athletes are much better now.
Much better? It's like night and day difference better!
CrossFitters have come a long way
Painful to watch but everything has to start from the bottom.
Holy shit holy shit holy shit. No technique! Crossfit came a long wayyy
This is the funniest video I have seen in so long because everyone actually know how to snatch know hahah
It starts at 10:00
Amazing to watch this and then watch the 2016 games snatches. If you don’t believe that CrossFit’s on the rise then you’re blind.
Love watching these old games clips before the whole commercialization of the sport, but from an Oly lifting perspective a lot of 3 red lights
12:23 you're welcome
Wow! Those are the ladies’ PRs now at the Crossfit games! Obviously the technique has evolved enormously 👌🏼 (Guys now snatching #280-310)
How far things have come!!
the guy at the start of the video, isn't he the found of Grid league?
This sport really evolved when you watch this and today technicaly it's better better better
1:05 - 2009 Adidas Crossfit Games xD
Adidas owns Reebok. In 2010 Reebok became partners of CrossFit and sponsor Games
So fucking bad snatches!!!!
who is the best ?
Horrible snatches!! 🙈😷
Incredible how things have changed in a relatively short period of time.
Women falling in the background at 9:29
:)
From carparks and sheds to packed out stadiums crossfit and the athletes have come so far 👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Right?! The athletes keep raising the bar. It's very cool to see. Thanks so much for watching, up 2s!
Dave Castro un gran visionario sin el no seria lo que es en día los Crossfit Games ❤️
Still waiting to see Snatches
David Bravo still?
Wow... Crossfit games is like the average CrossFit gym now. Athletes failing at 175lbs? Only one athlete above 225lbs? It's pretty much standard to lift 300lbs at the games now.
Was is it a Demand that they muscle snatched it? ;)
Crossfit has come along way not just in fitness, but also in simple math...
Today you would need at least 245# snatch to be competitive as opposed to 195 #
Watching this after 2021’s max men snatch getting to 305 like 😮
this is hard to watch..but at least its not this bad anymore
Man is this painful
That one lift where he had his knee on the ground, i don’t think this would be a rep nowadays...
Marco Lilienblum that might have been the only “ good” rep, his elbows didn’t bend
God, crossfit technique has come a long way. These snatches are horrendous, completely horrendous.
Holy crap what is this. Dark times.
I cried watching every single snatch. :(
No hip contact anywhere. Wow.
Damn the miscoloured plates are so confusing!
Wow how the athletes compare to now!
Today the girls lift the same weights as those guys...this year's games snatch event winner (Garret Fisher) lifted 305 lbs.
Mat Fraser wouldn't stand a chance.
no wonder some people hate crossfit...
back when froning was unknown
cross fit in 2009 was funny lol
Kevin Ogar was paralyzed because the bar hit a stack of plates behind him, launching the bar right back into his spine. These guys each have a log behind them which effectively would do the same damage...crossfit!
I know someone killed in a car accident, yet we still drive. Crazy.
Hey dumbass, Ogar's accident happened 5 years AFTER this video happened. Stupid Crossfit should have seen Ogar's injury in the future and not done this in 2009. Shut up and go do a bicep curl.
This video shows everything that is wrong with crossfit...wow
This was 6 years agoooo, chill 😂
Time to update your whining points, moron. This happened 7 years ago.
Disgusting technique. I haven't seen what these guys are doing these days, but if anyone who isn't familiar with the snatch see this video, please do understand that these guys have put themselves in a lot of risk!
12:55 13:01 :)))))))))
Dios mio saquen a esa gente, horrendos Snatchs😂
Lmao crossfit
So fucking bad.

Those are the worst snatch I have ever seen
