Week 1 CrossFit Semifinals Recap

The CFMS is focused on educating healthcare professionals about the efficacy of CrossFit in reducing chronic disease and improving overall health. We are proud of welcome CFMS founders Dr. Tom McCoy and Jenn Pishko to talk everything you need to know about this new and ground breaking movement coming to the CrossFit community.

The 18th CrossFit Games is fast approaching this August in Fort Worth, Texas yet for the FIRST TIME in the history of the Games the majority of the events will be held inside. Bill and Chase have been behind the scenes of the CrossFit Games since 2010 and they break down what athletes will need to do to best prep for the 2024 CrossFit Games.

The "Fittest Gameshow on Earth" returns and we have our first BACK to BACK champion! Ellia Miller returns as our first contest looking to claim thae elusive title of "Grand Champion" as she goes for three wins in a row. Before that happens though, we have two new challengers ready to battle it out on the Jeopardy board with her. First, the man behind Fake News, Drunken Interns and Coffee Pods and Wods, Pedro White. The second would say he could beat you at CrossFit with one hand tied behind his back and he would be right, Casey Acree.

The "Fittest Gameshow on Earth" returns and we have a new returning champion. Ellia Miller looks to defend her title against two new challengers: "Captain Jump Ship" Seth Page and "The voice for CrossFit Affiliates" Matt Souza.

We previewed the programming but after 3 weeks we finally get to analyze the programming. Taylor Self joins the show today as the guys sit down and see if their initial assessment of the programming still holds true after 3 weeks and hundreds of athletes putting the programming to the test.

The final week of Semifinals is over and we might have saved the best for last. Bill and Chase sit down and recap all the action from Heart Warming and Heart Breaking moments from the weekend.

Today we talk all things Week 1 Semifinals. The wild finishes in Europe, the Mario Kart run course in Asia and all the big stories and amazing moments that took place week 1 of the 2024 CrossFit Semifinals.

Is 4 events enough to send the top age grouper athletes to the 2024 CrossFit Games? Are the semifinal events just a retread of the Quarterfinals events? Chase and Bill sit down with John Young and JR Howell to take a deep dive into the 2024 Age Group programming beyond just what the events are on paper.

There are OG's then there are OOOO GGGGG's and that is what we have on the show today will Jeremy Thiel and Brice Collier who own two of the largest power house affiliates in the world with CrossFit Central and Koda CrossFit.

Just when you thought The Open and Quarterfinals couldn't matter MORE in our GWTP "Strength of Field System" here comes the great CrossFit Quarterfinals Purge and NEW semifinals "strength of field" system from CrossFit! We will run the numbers with the help of Known and Knowable's Mike Halpin and see what effect the video review system has had on our Top 100 and allocated CrossFit Games qualifying spots and finally compare head to head, our GWTP System vs. CrossFit's. Who's system is better? Watch and determine for yourself.
