WE HAVE THREE EVENTS AND WILL BE REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THEM SIDE BY SIDE PUSHING EACH OTHER AND KNOWING BOTH ARE CAPABLE OF GETTING THE TOP SCORE HERE. ≫ ANDREA SOLBERG ON RIGHT SCREEN AND 9 POINTS OUT OF A QUALIFYING POSITION. REMEMBER, WITH VERY A TOTAL HEAT LEFT TO GO THAT IS THE TOP 10 ATHLETES AFTER THREE EVENTS AND WE USUALLY LEAVE SATURDAY AS MOVING DAY AND WAY THAT THE EVENTS ARE FORMATTED THIS YEAR IS SUNDAY IS A BIG MOVING DAY. ≫ ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE FULLY 50% OF ALL AVAILABLE POINTS AVAILABLE TODAY AND ATHLETES NEED TO BRING IT AND BRING A GAME FROM START TO FINISH ALL DAY IF THEY WANT TO GET A QUALIFYING SPOT. ≫ COMPETITION AND ROWING AND HANDSTAND WALKS AND THINKING ABOUT MANIPULATING ROW AT TIMES AND WHAT BODY PART WILL I PREDOMINANTLY USE AND PULL WITH HIPS AND LEGS OR PULL WITH ARMS GOING TO A SPOT OVERHEAD WHAT WOULD YOU DO OR AT LEAST COACH ATHLETES TO DO — BASICALLY HOW TO APPROACH THE ROWS PHYSICALLY. ≫ ON THIS YOU WANT TO BE SEPARATING UPPER AND LOWER BODY AND HANDSTAND WALK YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE YOUR UPPER BODY AND REALLY THINK ABOUT SLUGGING SHOULDERS PULLING TIGHT AS POSSIBLE AND LET LEGS PULL YOU ALONG.

YES. A LITTLE OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL GAME THERE TOO AND IN MY OPINION WILL COME DOWN AND WHO WILL EMPTY TANK ON 800 PUTTING THEMSELVES IN A GOOD POSITION TO FINISH STRONG. ≫ IN UPPER LEFT PART OF YOUR SCREEN IS ELLA WILKINSON TRYING TO KEEP PACE OF ANDREA SOLBERG AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AND IS INTERESTING ROWS HAVE INCREASED BY 200 METERS EACH TIME THAT IS ABOUT DEPENDING ON THE TIME YOU HAVE ALMOST MORE TIME THAT THEY HAVE THAN THEY ARE GAINING ON THE HANDSTAND WALKS. ELLA ACTUALLY HAD A FASTER ROW THAN ANDREA AND SECOND OR 2 BEHIND THE HANDSTAND WALK AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTANCE ON THIS ROW AND MAYBE GET HER JUST ENOUGH TIME . BOZ AS YOU SAID IT IS THE SHORTEST HANDSTAND WALK THEY HAVE. THIS 800-METER ROW IS NOT TO BE LOOKED AS WELL AS VITAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. ≫ SHE HAS TO MAKE A MOVE HERE TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH TIME TO CATCH ELLA ON THE HANDSTAND WALK. ≫ WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM THE LAST ROW ANDREA TO THIS ROW ELLA IS DOING IS TWO PACES 1:57 ELA IS SITTING AT 1:528 SECOND DIFFERENCE IS COMING OFF THAT ROW AND CAN BE MASSIVE COMING TO HANDSTAND WALK THAT WE SAID IS THE SHORTEST ONE.

AS WE ARE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE 9-MINUTE MARK, AT 8:40. LAURSEN SETTING UP FOR HER 175 ATTEMPT. GOOD. AND IN THE BACK PART OF THE SCREEN, WILKINSON WAS 7 POINTS OUT, SHE CROSSED THE LINE. VON ROHR SETS UP FOR HER LIFT. AND THAT WAS A GOOD SAVE IN 2 SPOTS. NOT STEPPING OUTSIDE OF THAT BOX THAT THEY HAVE TO LIFT IN. ≫ SHE IS CATCHING THAT SNATCH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SQUAT. ≫ LAST REP.

LUCY TALKING ABOUT RESPECTING THE LADDER, IN TERMS OF THAT, NOT A QUESTION OF CAN THESE ATHLETES FINISH THIS LADDER, CAN YOU DO IN IT A WAY THAT YOU WILL NOT SET YOURSELF UP FOR MAYBE FAILURE LATER ON BY GOING TOO FAST EARLY IN THE HEAT? ≫ YES, CROSSFIT, SLOW IS SMOOTH AND SMOOTH IS FAST. WE ARE LOOKING AT STEADY PACE TO MEAN THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE WATCHING THESE ATHLETES FOLLOW THE BAR DOWN, GET THEIR HANDS ON IT QUICKLY AND SET UP FOR THE NEXT REP AND THEY ARE NOT ACTIVELY PUSHING THE PACE ON THESE EARLY BARS. ≫ HORVATH ADD ENNS HAVE AS THE BAR FROM THE ROUND OF 10 TO 8, AIMEE CRINGE UNTIL THE LEFT ON TAN PANTS WORKING ON SET OF 10. AND FREYOVA HAD ONE OF THE HEAVIEST LIFTS LAST YEAR AT THE SEMIFINALS WHICH INVOLVED A SNATCH AFTER AN 800-METER RUN. TOP TWO LEADERS, MIGALA TOP RIGHT AND LAURA HORVATH KEEPING HANDS ON THE BAR AND RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO POSITION. AND WE SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND A LOT OF FOOTWORK, MIGALA REGULAR SHOES. ≫ THAT IS THE THING. A LOT OF ATHLETES, WHEN I STARTED CROSSFIT I DID NOT LIKE SNATCHENING OLLIE LIFTERS IT IS PERSONAL PREFERENCE, A LOT OF WEIGHT LATERS THAT ARGUE STABILITY YOU GET AND MOBILITY THAT YOU GET FROM OLLIE LIFTERS WILL BENEFIT. I MEAN, LAURA IS NOT EVEN WEARING CROSSFIT SHOES. INTERESTING CHOICE. CLEARLY CONFIDENT. ≫ HORVATH NOW TO THE ROUND OF 6. 6 REPS AT 155. MIGALA LOADING HER BAR AND APPROACHING THE MARK.

FIRST, THIRD AND FIRST AND FULIANO STANDS BETWEEN HER AND POTENTIAL THIRD-FIRST-PLACE FINISH OF THE WEEKEND. 4:20 THE TIME IT TOOK FULIANO TO FINISH THIS BARBELL AND HORVATH TAKING A BREAK, MIGALA ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, ONE REP BEHIND LAURA. MIGALA HITS THE REP, LAURA DONE AT 4:12. 8 SECONDS AHEAD OF PACE. BUT FULIANO LOADED HER BAR AND HIT 2 SNATCHES IN 40 SECONDS. THE TIME IS 5:01. 5:01:24. MIGALA TIED IN POINTS ON TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD, HORVATH SETTING UP FOR REP 1 AT 175. 175 IS GOOD. ONE MORE REP AND 20 SECONDS TO TRY TO SET THE TIME. LOOKS LEFT AND RIGHT. TAKES A QUICK BREAK. AND MIGALA SETTING UP FOR HER REP AND MIGALA SHOULD GET HER FIRST WITH ONE TO GO. AND HORVATH HITS THE LIFT AND FULIANO WILL WIN THE EVENT. ≫ THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ELISA IN TERMS OF CLIMBING THE LEADER BOARD. ≫ MIGALA WILL MISS AND LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS NOT IN A STABLE RECEIVING POSITION FOR THAT BAR. MIGALA SITTING IN SECOND, TIE BREAKER TO LAURA, MUCH BETTER ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT AND THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SECOND IN THE HEAT. 4th OVERALL IN THE EVENT. FREYOVA ONE REP LEFT TO GO. SITTING IN FIFTH AFTER 4 EVENTS. STILL HAVE ONE MORE EVENT TO GO. CRINGLE BEHIND HER TO THE RIGHT. ONTO HER. STILL ON SET OF 4. AND FULIANO WILL MAKE HERSELF MOVE WELL INTO TOP TEN. ≫ TIMES OF THE LAST HEAT ARE STARTING TO COME INTO PLAY MOVING TOWARDS 6-MINUTE MARK. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE LEADER BOARD PANS OUT AFTER THIS. ≫ KEESMAN CENTER LANE, HIT FIRST REP AND RIGHT TO SECOND ONE AND DESPERATELY NEEDED THAT TO SEEP HER IN CONTENTION FOR THE TOP 10 SPOT. GLUCK ON THE LEFT IN THE GREEN. ONE REP LEFT TO GO. GLUCK NAILS THE LAST REP IN FRONT OF THE HOME CROWD AND THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET THEIR ATHLETES A TRIP TO CROSSFIT GAMES, TOP OF THE SCREEN, DAHLSTROM IS IN. AND THAT SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR TOP 10 FINISH, TALL DONE. UNDERNEATH 6-MINUTE MARK AND AIMEE CRINGLE FIRST REP SHE HAD. AND SOLBERG BEHIND HER STILL ON THE SET OF 4. WE KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE EVENT THAT WOULD POSE AN ISSUE FOR ANDREA. ≫ YES, BIG WITH FULIANO BELOW HER ON THE LEADERBOARD AND LOOKING TO CLIMB WITH THAT WIN. ≫ CRINGLE AND McQUAID. NIPPY SLIDE ACROSS FINISH LINE. CRINGLE WILL BE IN. AND CRINGLE SITTING IN THIRD OVERALL. ≫ CHALK OUT AND THERE WE GO. BACK IN. ≫ SOLBERG ONE REP LEFT TO GO. BUT THIS IS AT THE 165 BAR. AND SHE STILL HAS 2 REPS AT 175. WE ARE APPROACHING THE 8-MINUTE MARK NOW IN TERRITORY. WE HAD A BIG POCKET OF ATHLETES IN THIS TIME. ≫ I THINK IT IS ALWAYS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW, YOU KNOW, BODY LANGUAGE-WISE AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT ATHLETES HANDLE THEMSELVES IN THIS SITUATION. BECAUSE IF SHE STARTS TO THINK ABOUT THIS IS NOT WHAT I NEED IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS, GOING IN TO ONE MORE EVENT, AND BEING WHERE SHE IS ON THE LEADER BOARD. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT WILL COME INTO PLAY IN TO HOW SHE EXECUTES THIS LIFT. SHE NEEDS TO PRESENT AND IN THE MOMENT. TWO LIFTS TO HIT. IF SHE CAN DO THAT WITHOUT A FAIL, THAT WILL BE A GOOD PERSONAL RESULT FOR HER AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT OUTCOMES THAT IS AN ISSUE. GREAT SAVE. ≫ FIRST REP FOR SOLBERG AND IF THIS IS ANY OTHER LIFT IT WOULD NOT BE AS IMPERATIVE TO THIS AND SINCE IT IS SQUAT SNATCH, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE IN LINE. ≫ 100%. THE PRESSURE IS ON. AT THE SAME TIME, ANDREA IS A TECHNICIAN. AND SHE WILL BE REALLY FOCUSED ON HOW DO I EXECUTE THIS. ≫ 5,000 PEOPLE, PACKING OUT A SOLD-OUT LDLC ARENA, ARE ON THEIR FEET CLAPPING TO GET SOLBERG THIS 10th AND FINAL REP. ≫ COME ON ANDREA. ≫ COME ON! ≫ YES! ≫ AND THAT IS THE THING RESULT-WISE THAT MIGHT NOT BE WHERE SHE WANTS BUT FROM A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE THAT MIGHT BE A MASSIVE WIN FOR HER. ≫ GREAT LIFT FOR SOLBERG. AND AS YOU SAID. YOU THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN IT FIRST CAME UP IN 2016, PROBABLY GETTING CAPED IN THAT EVENT. HORVATH FROM THE BEGINNING, TIED WITH MIGALA IN POINTS, SITTING IN FIRST OVERALL WITH A TIE BREAKER. ≫ AGAIN IT WAS, YOU KNOW, PERFECT PACING THROUGH THE FIRST BARS. EVERYONE WAS KIND OF COMING THROUGH THEM AT THE SAME PACE. BUT THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY FOR LAURA SHE IS IN A BETTER POSITION. LAST BAR IS NOT ABOUT HOW YOU DO IT, IT IS ABOUT HOW YOU GET THERE. ≫ WE WILL HAVE A SHAKE-UP ON THE LEADER BOARD. AFTER 5 EVENTS, NOTHING IS ABSOLUTELY SETTLED. AND KNOWING WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP AND WHAT IS ON THE LINE, ESPECIALLY HOW THIS UNFOLDS FOR THE WOMEN. KNOWING THAT COULD BE — COULD BE IN THE LAST HEAT OR THIRD HEAT, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS COMING IN, IN THE BUBBLE IN OR OUT, HOW ARE THOSE NERVES? ≫ BIG-TIME THEY ARE THERE. 100%. NO ONE IS BLIND SO WHAT IS ON THE LINE HERE. AND THE CROWD IS 100% GETTING BEHIND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ATHLETES WE HEARD WITH IT ANDREA COMING INTO THE LAST REP, INTERESTING ON THE SNATCH BAR IT IS SO TECHNICAL, SOMETIMES THE CLAPPING BUILDING YOU INTO IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT AND SO SHE DID WELL TO LET THAT SETTLE IN AND THEN HIT. ≫ IT DOWN TO THE FLOOR, WITH JACQUELINE DAHLSTROM. ≫ JACQUELINE, THAT WAS SIXTH IN THE HEAT, 10TH IN THE EVENT YOU CAME IN IN 9th PROTECTING A TOP 10 FINISH IN THE GAMES SPOT. CAN YOU BREATHE EASIER AFTER THAT ONE? ≫ I DON’T THINK ANYONE IS GOING TO BE BREATHING EASIER UNTIL YOU FINISH TO BE HONEST EXCEPT FOR THE TOP ONES THAT ARE COMING IN YOU ARE SAFE. EUROPE IS STACKED. IT IS VERY COMPETITIVE. AND IT IS LIKE TODAY IT HAS BEEN WORSE. IT WILL COME DOWN TO THE LAST ONE SO I’M GOING TO BREATHE WHEN WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE LAST ONE. ≫ AFTER YOUR EXPERIENCE LAST YEAR, SO NARROWLY MISSING OUT ON THE GAME SPOT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A NUMBER OF YEARS, HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THAT EXPERIENCE ON HOW TO APPROACH THE FINAL EVENT? ≫ I THINK THAT THE MAIN THING WAS THAT IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST CROSSFIT. IN SOME WAYS IT TAKES THE EDGE OFF BETWEEN THE EVENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT IS FINDING A BALANCE WHERE YOU ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR ON THE FLOOR LIKE IT IS EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, BUT THEN STILL KNOWING THAT IF IT DOESN’T PAY OUT I WILL BE OKAY, I STILL HAVE MY PEOPLE STILL LOVE ME. SO I THINK IT KIND OF OPENED UP A BIT IN SOME WAYS TO LIKE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. ≫ AND SHALL WE ALL REMEMBER YOU LIFTING THAT INCREDIBLE SANDBAG AT CROSSFIT GAMES IN FRONT OF AN INTERNATIONAL CROWD, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO BE OUT HERE DOING A SNATCH LADNER THIS INCREDIBLE EUROPEAN CROWD. ≫ THIS IS JUST AMAZING. YOU CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING. I CAN’T HEAR MY JUDGE ON THE FLOOR. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. SO THANK YOU! IT IS PRETTY COOL. ≫ THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK. ≫ THANK YOU SO MUCH. ≫ AND BACK THAT SENTIMENT UP.

MAX SNATCH IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN THIS FIELD AT 298 POUNDS. THAT IS 135 KILOGRAMS.

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS EVENT BEFORE? ≫ NO, I SAW THIS WORKOUT COME OUT, I DID WANT TO TRY IT. PART OF ME DIDN’T WANT TO TRY IT I KNOW THESE GUYS WOULD BE FIVE WORKOUT INTO THE WEEKEND, MAX SNATCH IS 146 I DID NOT WANT TO BE EMBARRASSED BY HOW FIT THEY ARE AND HOW FIT I CURRENTLY AM NOT. ≫ SEEING WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN TO THIS POINT, FIRST TWO HEATS AND WHO YOU FAR WE HAVE COME SINCE 2016 FOR YOU AS A FAN ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN, SEEING THE PROGRESS IN THE LAST 8 YEARS. ≫ IT IS HONESTLY INCREDIBLE. LIKE, WHEN YOU USED TO LOOK AT SOME SNATCHES, PEOPLE SNATCHING 100 KILOS WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE. AND NOW, EVERYONE IN THE FIELD IS LOOKING AT 120 MINUTE NUMBER SNATCH AND UPWARDS TO 130. WHICH IT IS PRECEDENT TO TECHNIQUE THAT THEY USE. AND THE VOLUME THAT THEY ARE PUTTING IN. LOOKING BACK 8 YEARS, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THERE WASN’T MUCH OF THE FIELD WAS WAS SNATCHING 120 OR 130. ≫ DOING NOT ONLY SNATCHING 120 BUT DOING THAT UNDER FATIGUE. 4 EVENTS IN ALREADY BY THIS POINT AND THEY WILL BE, WHAT, 28 REPS IN BY THE TIME THEY HIT THAT 120 BARBELL. IT IS NOT ONE REP MAX AT 120 OR 130, IT IS ABOUT DOING THAT UNDER FATIGUE. ≫ I THINK WHAT IS INCREDIBLE HERE IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF A SNATCH, THEY THINK OF IT AS A PULL. IT IS A PUSH UP THE FLOOR, DRIVE WITH THE LEGS AND AND THEY HAVE DONE SO MUCH SQUATTER AND BIKE WORK THOSE QUADS WILL BE FRIED. WHEN THEY GET TO THE FINAL BAR, THAT IS WHERE THE QUADS WILL BE TWITCHING, BUT FOR THEM TO SNATCH IT, IT IS INCREDIBLE. ≫ ALL 10 ATHLETE INTO THE ROUND OF 8, 8 SNATCHES. 205 ON THE BAR. KOSKI IS ONE OF TWO ATHLETES IN THE FIELD THAT DID THIS EVENT BACK IN 2016.

ANOTHER EVENT TO GO, HOWEVER HE IS 2 POINTS OUT. ≫ KOSKI ON THE RIGHT HAS NOT HAD THE WEEKEND HE WANTED TO HAVE BUT MAKING A MOVE HERE IN THIS FIFTH EVENT. ≫ I SPOKE TO JONNE YESTERDAY, HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS BOTHERING HIM, HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE SIXTH GEAR AND MAYBE LAST DAY HE WILL FIND IT. HE NEEDS TO. ≫ ONE REP LEFT TO GO FOR VICTOR HOFFER ON THE RIGHT. TOP START AND DECENT MIDDLE BUT 100 POINTS GOES A LONG WAY HERE AT SEMIFINALS. HOFFER AND FIEBIG MAKE THEIR WAY TO 245-POUND BAR. ≫ HERE WE GO. NOT ABOUT HOW YOU START IT IS ABOUT HOW YOU FINISH. SEE HOW THEY DO ON THE LAST FEW BARS. ≫ ONE REP IN, BLACK SHIRT GRAY SHORTS, VICTOR HOFFER IS LOOKING REALLY SMOOTH RIGHT NOW. ≫ I WANT YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT THE BUILD OF THESE TWO ATHLETES. HOFFER SUPER SLIM. MOVING WELL. MORITZ A BIGGER ATHLETE, THAT IS IN THE CROSSFIT WORLD NOT IN THE WEIGHTLIFTING WORLD. ≫ TWO REPS, FIEBIG HITS 3, HOFFER BEHIND HIM. TIME TO BEAT 5:25 SET BY BRONISLAW OLENKOWICZ IN THE PREVIOUS HEAT, DONE WITH 4 REPS AT 4:27. FIEBIG ADVANCE TO 265 AND HERE COMES HOFFER. ≫ AND THE INTERESTING THING IS THESE TWO GUYS ARE SIDE ABOUT I SIDE. IT IS NOT LIKE YOU SEE STAGGERING BARS SOMETIMES BENEFIT TO BE THE PERSON SLIGHTLY BEHIND BUT THESE TWO GUYS ARE DIRECTLY LEVEL WITH EACH OTHER. ≫ 5:25, OLENKOWICZ, THE BEST TIME IN 2016 WAS MATT FRASER AT 6:05, CRAIG A LONG WAY IN THE LAST 8 YEARS. ≫ THIS IS THE PART NOW WHERE THEY GOT TO THE BAR. BOTH PUT THE WEIGHTS ON AT THE SAME TIME, ABOUT UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY AND HOW YOU’RE FEELING. NOT SENDING IT TOO EARLY, MAKING EACH REP COUNT. ≫ HANDS ON THE BAR SAME TIME, HOFFER MISSES IT BACKWARDS AND FIEBIG GETS IT. AND IT IS CONFIDENCE. MISSING BACKWARDS SOME SAY BACKWARDS YOU KNOW YOU ALMOST 4 IT. ≫ WITH WEIGHTLIFTING YOU KNOW IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE PULL. ≫ AND FIEBIG DONE AT 5:50. 37 POINTS OUT, TRYING TO PULL A HOFFER AND CLOSE THAT GAP IN ONE EVENT. CLEMENTS. ONE REP LEFT TO GO. HOFFER MISSED THE FIRST ATTEMPT. HOFFER TRYING TO TAO USE THE CROWD, CLEMENTS HAS HIS HANDS ON THE BAR AND SQUEEZE THESE. HOFFER NAILS IT. AND NOW HE HAD TO TAKE A VERY, VERY LONG BREAK BETWEEN THAT MISSED REP AND THIS ONE. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE PANIC NERVES THAT COME INTO PLAY WHEN YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO FINISH LINE. ≫ I THINK HE HOPEFULLY GO INTO THE NEXT REP WITH THE CONFIDENCE HE CAN DO IT. MULTIPLE MIXED REPS THERE IS THAT QUESTION AND THERE WE GO. ≫ THIS CROWD I’M TELLING YOU, WHEN YOU ARE DOWN THERE AMONGST THE FRENCH PEOPLE IT IS WILD. ≫ YOU GET A PART OF THIS, BEEN TO SEMIFINALS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND EUROPE, THIS ONE ITSELF, KOSKI MISSES THE LAST ROUND. IT IS — IT IS DEAFENING IN HERE IN THIS ARENA. ≫ IT IS DIFFERENT. WHEN YOU TO GO HE AMERICAN SEMIFINALS YOU HAVE ATHLETES THAT YOU FOLLOW, HERE IT IS COUNTRY PRIDE AS WELL AND WHEN THE COUNTRIES TURN UP THEY ARE LOUD. ≫ FRENCH START TO SING THEIR NATIONAL ANTHEM EARLIER OUT OF NOWHERE, COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED. ≫ THE FRENCH WAVE THE ANTHEM AROUND THE ARENA. KOSKI NAILS IT. ≫ YES. ≫ AND KOSKI FINISHES THE HEAT. NOT THE TIME TO BEAT, KOSKI, AND ZENONI, ONE REP LEFT TO GO. ≫ THIS LAST BAR, LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, IF YOU MISS IT BEHIND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE PULL AND WEIGHTLIFTING, IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON’T HAVE THE PULL OFF THE GROUND THAT IS THE SCARY PART. YOU ARE LIKE I DON’T KNOW IF I GO IT THIS AND HE GOT THIS. ≫ ZENONI IS DONE. ≫ BRIANT, 1 SECOND BEHIND HIM, KOTOULAS WILL MISS. ≫ AND BIG FOR SMITH ON THAT BAR, HAS TO HIT FIRST REP HE HAS NOT FAILED BUT NOT ATTEMPTED IT. IN THE CONTEXT WHERE HE SITTING 4 POINTS OUT OF 10, THIS WILL BE BIG. ≫ SMITH OUT OF IRELAND, KOTOULAS MISSES SETTING UP FOR 265. 4 POINTS OUT OF THAT 10th SPOT, ONE HEAT TO GO. HITS THE FIRST REP. ≫ NICE REP. ≫ IT WAS A GOOD REP, YES. ≫ HE KNOWS HIS OWN PACE HERE. HE IS NOT PUSHING IT. HE KNOWS HE HAS GOT TO FINISH AND NOT MISS. ≫ KOTOULAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. NOT KNOWN FOR STRENGTH BUT HE IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN ON THE FINAL BARBELL. SMITH IS SETTING UP. APPROACHING THE 9-MINUTE MARK. TIMES ARE FLYING BY FROM PREVIOUS HEATS, THOUGH. ≫ AND THAT WAS ALMOST TOO SOLID IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCES, I’M LIKE COULD YOU HAVE GONE MAYBE 5 OR 10 SECONDS EARLIER. ≫ CAT AND MOUSE GAME WITH YOURSELF. ≫ 100% WANT TO BE ON THE EDGE. ≫ KOTOULAS IS IN. ≫ ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN A POSITION LIKE MICKEY IS WITH THAT TOUCH AND GO OF MAKING IT. ≫ PARDILLOS. ≫ THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT PULL LOOKS HEAVY. THAT FOR ME I’M LIKE I DON’T KNOW IF HE HAS GOT THAT. ≫ A LOT OF IT TOO COMES IN THE TRAINING WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVIER WEIGHTS IT FEELS HEAVY, HAVING THAT TRUST, IF YOU CAN GET TO IT THE HIP CEASE YOU WILL BE OKAY. ≫ WEIGHTLIFTING LOCK EVERYTHING, LOCK YOUR LEGS IN AND KEEP BAR CLOSE THE FURTHER THE BAR IS AWAY FROM THE BODY THE HEAVIER IT GETS. IN THAT PULL IF YOU LET IT COME AWAY YOU ARE NOT HANDLING IT AT THIS WEIGHT. ≫ 60 SECONDS REMAINING ON THE TIME CAP, FERNANDO SMILING AT THE CROWD. MIGHT BE A PR. HE WAS PUMPED AFTER HITTING 245. CAN HE HIT 265. ≫ IT IS CLOSE. ≫ I THINK HE KNOWS. ≫ LIVE TO FIND ANOTHER EVENT. ONE MORE EVENT TO GO. ≫ PARDILLOS THE 40th, THE LAST MAN IN OUT OF QUARTER FINALS HERE. AND HE WAS VERY CLOSE TO A QUALIFYING POSITION AFTER THE FOURTH EVENT. THAT WILL END HEAT 3. AND THE TENSION BUILDS EVEN MORE AS MORITZ FIEBIG PUT YOUR TOP 10 ON NOTICE, THAT TIME THAT WILL STAND AND POSSIBLY INCH HIM EVEN CLOSER TO THAT 10th AND FINAL SPOT TO THE GAMES. ≫ WE SAW HOFFER LEAD THE WAY THROUGH THE FIRST THREE BARS LOOKING SO CONTROLLED. EVERY REP LOOKING THE SAME AND THEN ACCELERATING TO THE NEXT BAR. WITH FIEBIG AT THE SAME TIME, THAT REAL BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVIER BARS. BUT THEN COMING ONTO THE LAST BAR, SAW A FEW MISSES FROM HOFFER WHICH THEN OPENED THE WAY FOR MORITZ TO HIT THE LAST TWO BARS AND COME AWAY WITH THE BEST TIME OF THE HEAT. ≫ FASTEST TIME OF THE HEAT, THIRD FASTEST SEEN SO FAR, 10 ATHLETES LEFT, CRAIG THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR THIS HEAT. ≫ HEY IT WAS FUN. ≫ ENJOY THE SHOW FOR THE NEXT ONE, GETTING SET FOR THE FOURTH AND FINAL HEAT OF THE INDIVIDUAL EVENT 5 COMING UP AFTER THIS. ≫ HEAVY BARBELL GOES HAVE MADE THEIR WAY ONTO THE FLOOR HERE AT LDLC ARENA, 5,000 STRONG CHASE INGRAHAM WITH LUCY CAMPBELL AND LAUREN SMITH.

HIMSELF INTO THE TOP TEN FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEKEND AND ANIOL EKAI UNFAMILIAR SPOT OF POTENTIAL GAMES QUALIFICATION, WHAT DID YOU LIKE FROM HIM THIS WEEKEND? ≫ REALLY COMPOSED, NOT THE BEST START BUT SLOWLY CLIMBED HIS WAY UP THE LEADERBOARD ON EVERY EVENT IT TAKES A LOT TO DO THAT, ONE SET AT A TIME, ONE MOVEMENT AT A TIME, ONE EVENT AT A TIME. ≫ EKAI ROLLS HIS BAR. ≫ DOWN TO LAUREN. ≫ LAST YEAR SNATCH WAS STRONGEST OF THE COMPETITION. CAME SECOND AND WITH HOW THE EVENTS ARE LINING UP IN DAY THREE, TRAINCULT ARE HOPING THAT HE WILL HEAP TOLD OF HIS TICKET. ≫ LAZAR DUKIC SITS SECOND PLACE OVERALL, YOUR WINNER OF LAST YEAR’S SEMIFINAL, HOSTE TO HIS RIGHT. AS HOSTE IS TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THAT FIRST PLACE POSITION. HE EARNED IT OVER HIS LAST TWO EVENTS. ON THE MEN’S SIDE, NOBODY HAS A HOTTER START THAN HOSTE. ≫ AND HE IS LOOKING REALLY QUITE SMOOTH THROUGH THE FIRST FEW BARS. EVERY REP LOOKED THE SAME ON THE FIRST SET OF 10. INTERESTING TO SEE IF HE HOLDS ONTO THAT GOING THROUGH THE BARS. NOT NECESSARILY KNOWN FOR ONE-REP MAX STRENGTH. ≫ HOSTE, TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD. LAZAR DUKIC TO THE RIGHT. TOP THREE LEADING AND EKAI ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS PUSHING THE PACE. ≫ INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE POSITION THEMSELVES IN THE BOXES IF YOU STEP FORWARDS OR OUTSIDE OF THAT BOX NO REP, HAS TO BE IN THE BOX. YOU SEE PEOPLE POSITIONING THEMSELVES TO THE BACK IF THEY ARE TRYING TO CATCH THAT LIFT FORWARD AND END UP TAKING A STEP FORWARD THEY ARE NOT AT RISK OF TAKING A FULL STEP OUT OF THE LINE. ≫ HOSTE WHAT A WEEKEND FOR HIM, COMES OUT TO GET A FIRST AND SECOND IN THE LAST TWO EVENTS.

PAST THE 4-MINUTE MARK. YOUR TIME TO BEAT. 5:25:95 AS TOP GUYS ADVANCE. EKAI AHEAD WAVES FOR CAMERA MAN TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF HIM. SECOND TIME WE SEEN THAT SO FAR. DUKIC HANDS ON THE BAR. HIT THE FIRST REP AT 245. RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, BKG, FIRST ATTEMPT AT 245 IS GOOD. AND EKAI HAS A COUPLE OF REP LEAD ON THESE TWO ATHLETES. EKAI STRUGGLING THERE. BUT ALMOST LOST THAT STABILITY POSITION IN HIS SHOULDERS. ≫ IT JUST LOOKED LIKE THINGS ARE STARTING TO TIGHTEN UP A BIT. IT IS INTERESTING, BECAUSE IN THIS SITUATION YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE ARE CAMERAS BEV WHERE. IT CAN BE DIFFICULT WHEN YOU ARE USED TO LIFTING HEAVY IN A SPECIFIC SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES. ≫ AND EKAI IS DONE WITH 245 AS HE MOVES TO 265 AND WITH THAT SHAKY REP LUCY THAT GOES INTO YOUR DEPPE FOR SUCCESS AS FAR AS HOW TO PACE THIS OUT? ≫ YES, FOR SURE. AND THE THING IS AS SOON AS YOU HIT A SHAKY REP, IT CAN EFFECT YOUR CONFIDENCE INTO THE LAST BAR AND HE HAS TO HIT THE BAR WITH FULL CONFIDENCE AND FULL INTENT BECAUSE IT IS HEAVY AND HE IS UNDER FATIGUE. ≫ PASSED THE TIME SET BY OLENKOWICZ THE NEW WORLD RECORD FOR THIS EVENT, 5:25, AND THE NEXT TIME IS 5:45. REMEMBER THAT IN A PREVIOUS HEAT, HOFFER WAS 2 POINTS OUT OF A QUALIFYING POSITION AS EKAI HITS THE FIRST REP AT 265. BKG. TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THAT 10th SPOT. AND HITS FIRST REP AT 265. AND EKAI GOES FOR THE LAST REP AND HITS IT. JUST OVER THE 6:09 MARK AND THAT IS BIG FOR EKAI. HE SHOULD KEEP HIMSELF IN A SOLID POSITION IN THE TOP 10. AND ONE REP DONE FOR DUKIC. BKG IS SETTING UP. DUKIC SETTING UP. LAST REP FOR BKG AHEAD OF HOFFER’S TIME OF 6:42, GOOD FOR BKG TO HOLD ONTO 10th SPOT, LAZAR WILL BE DONE BEHIND LUKA AND LUCA IS ONE EVENT AWAY FOR GETTING BACK TO CROSSFIT GAMES WITH HIS BROTHER. HOSTE IN CENTER LANE HAS MOVED TO THE 265 BAR, HAAPALAINEN TO THE LEFT, MISSES THAT 265. OVER HIS HEAD. ≫ THIS IS INTERESTING. GOT WHAT, A MINUTE UNTIL THE LAST CAP. AND LIGHTFOOT STILL HAS 2 REPS TO GO ON THAT SECOND TO LAST BAR.

ACROSS FINISH LINE. AND HAAPALAINEN WILL MISS, 20 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAP. AND BOSSHARD MISSED HIS FIRST ATTEMPT. HE STILL HAS 2 TO GO. LIGHTFOOT HITS IT 9 SECONDS AHEAD OF THAT CAP. AND HERE IS THE THING. TALKING ALL WEEKEND, CAN LIGHTFOOT ON THE RIGHT IN THE GREEN AS HAAPALAINEN HITS LAST REP, GOOD FOR HIM. HAAPALAINEN IN THE GREEN LANE 7, BOSSHARD TO THE LEFT, NO SHIRT BLACK SHORTS, COULD THEY MAKE IT TO THE GAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WE HAVE GOT TO THE 5th EVENT AND THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THROUGH THIS ONE. BOSSHARD HAS ONE REP LEFT TO GO. AS WE ARE APPROACHING 8:30 MARK AND A LOT OF ATHLETES IN THIS TIME. LIGHTFOOT SAID AFTER THE FOURTH EVENT THE JOB IS NOT DONE. PLENTY OF WORK TO GO. HE HAS TWO REPS AT 265 TO GET THERE AND GOT ONE OF THEM. VUNJAK STRUGGLING ON THE FLOOR. HE HITS 265 AND THAT GETS HIM ACROSS THE BOARD. BOSSHARD NEEDS THIS LIFT.

SITTING IN A QUALIFYING POSITION COMING INTO THIS. ≫ THAT IS THE THING HE DOES NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT CIRCUMSTANCES GET THIS REP DON’T THINK P CONSEQUENCES. ≫ UPENIEKS STRUGGLING AT BOTTOM LIGHTFOOT HITS IT BUT IT IS AFTER UPENIEKS AND LIGHTFOOT WHO CAME IN TO THIS HEAT IN 4th PLACE WITH 331 POINTS, HE WAS 90 POINTS CLEAR OF 10, HOWEVER, THAT FINISH WILL HAVE TO SEE WHERE HE LANDED. ≫ IT WAS PRETTY MUCH ANIOL EKAI FROM START, HE WAS ABLE TO STAY CONSISTENT IN THE RACE WITH BKG, STAY COMPOSED AND SECURE THE PLACING THAT HE NEEDED TO KEEP THE TOP 10 PLACE. ≫ EKAI, GREAT FINISH FOR HIM, DOES WIN THE HEAT. AND AS YOU SAID, LUCY, HOPEFULLY SECURING THAT POSITION, LOOK AT THAT. THE RACE FOR 10th, FIEBIG, 37 POINTS OUT GETS HIMSELF A THIRD PLACE FINISH, THAT IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE A LOT OF ATHLETES IN THE TOP 10 DID NOT HAVE THE BEST EVENT HERE, BKG 6th PLACE, STAYS AHEAD OF VICTOR HOFFER OTHER ATHLETES IN THE TOP TEN, MAY BE FALLING OUT OF THE BOTTOM 10 AND EKAI WINNING THE HEAT IS DOWN WITH LAUREN SMITH. ≫ HE IS INDEED CHASE, ANIOL FOURTH IN OVERALL WON YOUR HEAT SPECTACULARLY, WHAT WAS KEEP TO PACING IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS. ≫ WELL MY STRATEGY WAS TO GO A LOT AND THEN AS SOON AS I GET TO HEAVY BARBELL LIKE 110 I FELT LIKE I COULD PACE IT.

SO MUCH DRAMA IN THAT LAST SEGMENT OF THE EVENT! ≫ YOU CAN SEE HOW CLOSE FIEBIG WAS THERE AFTER HOFFER HAD TO GO BACK. ≫ AND 100 HERS. ≫ THEN THE LAST REP BECAUSE THE HEELS WERE ON THE LINE. ≫ HEAT 3, CLEMENTS 2:35 AND KOSKI, BEHIND HIM AND HOFFER 2:41, ONE MORE HEAT TO GO. AS NOTHING IS SET IN STONE FOR THE MEN HERE FROM THE FRENCH THROWDOWN. FINAL HEAT COMING UP! [MUSIC] ≫ FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS, BUCKLE UP, BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE HEAT THAT IS GOING TO DETERMINE WHICH 10 ATHLETES GO TO THE CROSSFIT GAMES IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, CHASE INGRAHAM WITH LUCY CAMPBELL AND LAUREN SMITH. WE JUST FINISHED HEAT 3. VICTOR HOFFER THIRD IN THE HEAT, FOURTH OVERALL IN THE EVENT, CELEBRATING TOO EARLY NOW. ≫ I WILL NOT LIE, I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN VICTOR’S POSITION NOW WHEN YOU LEAVING IT UP TO HOW OTHER PEOPLE DO, WITH THIS FIELD YOU CANNOT DO THAT. ≫ AND THIS IS WHAT IS ON TAP FOR YOUR FINAL HEAT OF THE WEEKEND. 30 CALS ON ECHO BIKE, 15 RING MUSCLE-UPS AND 72-FOOT WALKING LUNGE WITH THOSE 100-POUND DUMBBELLS AND WE HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING FROM ELATION TO HEART BREAK AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THEM. GORUCK STEPS TO SUCCESS. ≫ PUSH IT DON’T SEND IT ON THE BIKE, EVEN THOUGH THE GUYS DID IN THE LAST ROUND AND KNOW YOURSELF ON THE RINGS, CAPABLE TO COME STRAIGHT OFF STRAIGHT INTO DUMBELL WALKING LUNGES AND HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE. ≫ AND ATHLETES HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, WHERE DO WE START? THIS IS YOUR FINAL HEAT. AS WE WILL GO TO YOUR 10th PLACE HOLDER IN LANE 8, UPENIEKS HAD A HOT START BUT HE IS NOW SITTING IN THE HOT SEAT. TWO FIRST PLACE FINISHES TO START WEEKEND BUT SINCE THEN, 25th, 17th AND 28th AND HOT ON HIS HEELS IN THE LANE NEXT TO HIM IN 12th, 6 POINTS AWAY, 15 POINTS ONLY FROM VICTOR HOFFER WITH CLEMENTS HAVING THE TIME TO BEAT. EVERY ATHLETE IN THIS HEAT SAVE FOR SOME HAVE HAD A FINISH OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 20, 57 POINTS ON THE LEADERBOARD. NO ONE IN THIS HEAT IS SAFE YET. HERE WE GO! 30 CALS ON THE ECHO BIKE. FINAL HEAT. FINAL EVENT. THESE UNIFORM KITS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY ARE PROVIDED BY NORTHERN SPIRIT, UNLOCK 15% OF YOUR ORDER AT NORTHERNSPIRIT-SPORT. COM USE THE CODE CROSSFIT SEMIFINALS AT CHECKOUT. ULDIS UPENIEKS STARTED WEEKEND THOUGHT HE WAS A SHOO IN TWO FIRST PLACE FINISHES ANYTHING BUT THAT HOLDING TO 10th THE MAN TO HIS RIGHT, VUNJAK HAS HAD MULTIPLE FINISHES INSIDE THE TOP 4, TWO SPOTS OUT AND 6 POINTS BEHIND UPENIEKS HOFFER IN THE PREVIOUS HEAT, FOURTH PLACE FINISHED THE EVENT, ONLY 15 POINTS AWAY FROM VUNJAK, ON THE RIGHT, VUNJAK HAS TO WIN AND UPENIEKS HAS TO STAY AHEAD OF HIM IF HE WANTS ANOTHER TRIP TO THE CROSSFIT GAMES AND ON 15 RING MUSCLE-UPS. ≫ IT IS NOT PHYSICALLY CAN UPENIEKS STAY AHEAD MENTALLY HOW DOES HE DEAL WITH THE PRESSURE OF KNOWING THAT THE GUY HE HAS TO BEAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. ≫ TIME TO BEAT, 3:35 IN THE PREVIOUS HEAT, HOFFER HAS A TIME OF 2:41 . 16 AND UP PEN KNICKS STAY AHEAD OF THE MAN TO HIS RIGHT, REP FOR REP, RACE IN LANE 2 AND 3, VUNJAK IS OFF THE RINGS FIRST AND HAPPEN PAL LANE NEN IS ON DUMBBELLS. UPENIEKS, VUNJAK ON THE RIGHT, HAPPEN PAL LANE NEN IN THIRD, HE LOOKS GOOD, MAKING HIS WAY DOWN, VUNJAK ON THE RIGHT STARTS DUMBBELL LUNGES FIRST AND HERE COMES ULDIS UPENIEKS. ATHLETES ARE ALL WORKING THEIR WAY ON THE DUMBBELL LUNGES A STUMBLE FOR VUNJAK, FOUR 12-FOOT SECTIONS TO GO AS HAAPALAINEN IN THE RED SHOES LOOKS LIKE HE WILL SECURE HIMSELF A QUIET VICTORY HERE AS HE HAS ABOUT 20 SECONDS AWAY 2 STEPS AND HAAPALAINEN WINS THE EVENT AND BACK TO CROSSFIT GAMES AND IN LANE 1, EKAI AND HE WILL GO FOR THE FIRST TIME, HOSTE COMING IN, VUNJAK IS DROPPING AT THE END. BUT HE IS STILL A SECTION AHEAD. AND UPENIEKS TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP, 2:41 PASSED. THAT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR HOFFER BUT IT IS STILL NOT SETTLED VUNJAK TWO STEPS AWAY, ULDIS HAS TO HOLD ON. VUNJAK IS THERE, ULDIS BUT WITH THE TIMES WE HAVE HAD WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY WILL STAND, ULDIS DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO AND BEAT — SORRY, VUNJAK DID EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO STAY AHEAD OF ULDIS THE QUESTION IS WHO SNUCK INBETWEEN THEIR TIMES. IF IT IS ONE SPOT IT IS NOT ENOUGH. IF IT IS TWO, WE HAVE A MATH PROBLEM TO SOLVE BECAUSE IF IT IS JUST TWO SPOTS, THEY WOULD BE TIED ON LEADERBOARD. ≫ HERE HE COMES. ≫ VUNJAK. HAD TO GET AHEAD OF ULDIS AND HE DID AND THE QUESTION IS, DID HE DO ENOUGH? ULDIS DID EVERYTHING THAT HE COULD TO HOLD TIGHT, HE HAD TO BEAT HIM TO GUARANTEE A TRIP TO THE GAMES. SHEER ANOTHER QUESTION — WE ARE FOCUSED ON ULDIS BUT IN LANE 3, THAT IS BOSSHARD. AND HE IS NOT GUARANTEED A SPOT BECAUSE THIS IS A FAST AND FURIOUS EVENT AND BOSSHARD DROPS IT AGAIN. BOSSHARD HAS TO GET IN. WE HAVE BEEN SO FOCUSED ON ULDIS AND LUKA, BOSSHARD WAS NOT ONE OF THE ATHLETES THAT WAS. HE HAS TO GET IN AND HAS TO GET IN NOW AND DROPS IT AGAIN AND THAT MIGHT BE THE DAGGER FOR BOSSHARD. ≫ DANGER THAT HE WENT A BIT TOO FAR IN TERMS OF THAT LENGTH OF STEP AND JUST COULD NOT STAND IT UP. ≫ LIGHTFOOT FINISHED 27th, 27th PLACE IS ONLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR 26 POINTS. MORITZ FIEBIG MIGHT BE BACK IN THE QUESTION. BOSSHARD APPROACHING THE 5-MINUTE MARK, DANGER TIME FOR COLIN. MORITZ FIEBIG STICK AROUND WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, VUNJAK DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO ULDIS MAY BE SAFE, DON’T KNOW ABOUT LIGHTFOOT, BOSSHARD — AND IT IS NOW GOING TO THE SCORING TABLE. ≫ I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE ANY OF THESE ATHLETES RIGHT NOW. ≫ WHERE DID LUKA VUNJAK FINISH. HOW CLOSE WAS ULDIS UP PEN KNICKS DEPPE LIGHTFOOT WITH A 27 PLACE FINISH AND BOSSHARD WITH A 37th PLACE FINISH BOSSHARD WAS SITTING ONLY IN 7th PLACE. LIGHTFOOT WAS ONLY IN FIFTH PLACE. ≫ THAT WAS CHAOTIC WITH START TO FINISH I THINK. OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THEM PUSHED REALLY HARD ON THE BIKE AND THEN — LOOKED SOLID FROM START TO FINISH ON THOSE LUNGES AND THEY BARELY LOOKED LIKE 100-POUND DUMBBELLS. SUPER SMOOTH. AND OBVIOUSLY SETTING THE FASTEST TIME SO FAR. SHOWING OFF. NOT A PROBLEM. ≫ THAT IS THE MOST — ≫ SO MUCH DRAMA! LITERALLY A SECOND BETWEEN UP DISAND VUNJAK. DIFFERENCE IN POINTS AS MINIMAL. ≫ TOP 10 THAT WE KNOW OF BUT WE NEED TO LOOK AT BOTTOM OR MIDDLE 10. HENRIK HAAPALAINEN ABOUT TIME WE SAID HIS NAME HE IS SNEAKING UNDER RADAR HE WINS THE EVENT AND WINS THE EVENT AND SHOWS HIM THAT DUMBBELLS ARE NOTHING. CALUM CLEMENTS AND ANIOL EKAI, HE SHOULD BE MAKING TO IT THE CROSSFIT GAMES, BENEITO AND KOSKI, SHOWING UP FOR THE FINAL EVENT. LUCY, SITTING HERE ON THE SIDELINES. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU FINISH AND THOUGHT YOU WERE CLOSE AND NOTHING IS FOR CERTAIN. IS THIS ABOUT TO BE THE LONGEST 10 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE? ≫ ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION. YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE — THEY WILL BE SITTING BACK THINKING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE EVENT, THINKING WHERE COULD I HAVE MADE THIS MORE SOLID AND NOT LEFT THIS DOWN TO CHANCE IN THIS WAY, NOT DOWN TO CHANCE BUT BOTH OF THEM HAD GREAT STARTS AND THEN SAW THEIR PERFORMANCES DROP OFF OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. YOU CAN SEE HIM SHAKING HIS HEAD THERE, POOR GUY. ≫ THE SCORES ARE BEING TABULATED. AND WE ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHO ACTUALLY MADE IT TO THE CROSSFIT GAMES. ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THOSE ATHLETES ARE NEXT.
