Probably my favorite Froning performance. At this point in the games he NEEDED to hold off Fraser. I was in the stadium, and can still see him raising his arms to pump up the crowd from the view from my seat. LEGEND!!! I became a die hard Froning fan at that moment. What a feat.
I just watched the whole 2014 Games again and am amazed at how they talk constantly about Noah & Josh, and rarely mention Mat, even though he was first coming into Saturday night's event, had many top 10 finishes., and is only 5 points behind Froning after this event.
jhssuthrnmama not only that,they concentrate so much on the favorites, when someone different wins they don’t know until they cross the finish line. So embarrassing
Johannes Essentially the kid had mostly been doing high volume weightlifting around this time to prep for the Games. Not as much cardio as the athletes do today.
CLB got a no rep from her helicopter judge on her GHDs. He was the guy shadowing Froning's sit ups while everyone else was a bit away so they could judge the whole movement. Not sure if this was a factor for her.
Not legal, but testing is garbage. You can safely assume that most of them are on PEDs, specially women. Also, it's not optimal, in a marketing point of view, to bust top level guys like Rich and cia. I think they are working on their testing politics and tech (CF is pretty new) but nowadays it's a joke
PEDs are an essential part of any professional sport. We like to think athletes are somehow above it, but it's often an outright necessity to survive the rigors of their schedules. Plus, the whole concept of what constitutes a PED is in itself an interesting topic. Beta Blockers help with stress - and wouldn't remaining calm in a stressful situation be a drug-induced performance enhancement. People wrongly associate PED with roided out freaks. It's far more complex
To everyone out there ... They are NOT on steroids as excessive testing is done and a person on steroids can NOT do a pull up or muscle up as there body weight would be too heavy.

Ahh back when Mat Fraser was known as Matthew Fraser

9 years later, I still watch this and have tears for watching Rich
Koski 19 years old?! wtf have I been doing all the time?

I love how it’s 6 years later and Noah Ohlsen still hasn’t figured out how to pace
Haha thats kinda his thing
7yrs later now lol
Ten years, and no, he still goes fast as f... When the 3,2,1-go sounds
"Nobody likes to do lunges, with or without weights " this is so true 😅
Best line 😂😂
this was a true march...a so-called Rich Fronings victory March! What a MACHINE!!!
That fight in Frowning fight in his face. Amazing
CLBs is sooooo flexible on the GHDs she almost folds back on herself lols
Annie`s a BEAST!!!

alex nettey's a legend!
Can anyone tell me the reason for the fat bumper plates?? Im assuming so it doesnt dent the grass as much but would like some clarification
Nice
skip to 35:00
They love to talk about the winner and completely ignore the rest of the field
They talk about them at the beginning before they start their heats
1:05:58 Women's Event 11 Heat 1
1:20:14 Women's Event 11 Heat 2
1:35:11 Women's Event 11 Heat 3
Rich was awesome
till i collapse at the beginning :)
What is the song playing in the very beginning???
I was there. Man I miss when Rich used to spank these kiddos as an individual.
Rich destroyed that!!!
Greg Jones diet for sliming
Watch this event, then tell me it's ok for Froning to be hiding on a team. It's ridiculous. RICH MUST COME OUT OF RETIREMENT!!

15:22 Wow wonderful body
none of the women's first heat got back to motivate the others like the men did...
Are roids legal in crossfit?

sure looks like it, eh?
merces47letifer LOL. If the Olympics can't stop PEDs from running rampant, CrossFit can't. And your personal attack is irrelevant and inaccurate.
what makes you think they use PEDs they dont look like they do

I just threw up watching that GHB crunch. My trainer makes me do those during our workouts and I cry like a 12 year girl whose unicorn was kidnapped.

fredynuts Ignorance is bliss.
+Robyn Heath Hi, is it ok if I add this quote to my personal collection of clueless crossfitter comments?
+BUTLER SFB he is right though they test everyone for steroids like all the time.

you kiddong or ignorant
That first thing is stupid...
the walking on hands is not power it's technique what a fluke is this
ghd's need to be dropped still...
i like how they tailored this workout for rich, way to make it a competition, garbage
Er, u do realize that this is also the most running/swimming-heavy games to date? Both Rich's kryptonites
Ben Lukins Most swimming? ... Running was same as before
u r just another naysayer.
swimming & that run only made up 200 max points. that's not much.
***** bwahahahaha yeah look who's trolling my comment at 1:45am you are the real naysayer
