Chipper: Men's Final - 2009 CrossFit Games
Спорт
This is the eight installment of the Complete 2009 CrossFit Games videos, and the final part of the men’s competition. Here is complete coverage of the Chipper Event and awards ceremony.
The chipper format is a classic CrossFit structure. You have a large number of tasks that you complete in order. They are designed so that as you fatigue in one task, you switch up the demands and keep going. There is a cumulative effect of course, but the variety allows for incredible metabolic demand.
The variety also becomes a great equalizer. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and when the workout has ten elements, both are likely to be featured. The final event of the 2009 Games was exactly that:
15 reps 155lb BB squat clean
30 Toes to bar
30 Box jumps 24" box
15 Muscle ups
30 PushPress /PushJerk 40lb DBs
30 Double Unders
15 reps 135lb Thruster
30 Pullups
30 Burpees
300' OH Walking lunge with 45lb plate
Mikko Salo dominated this event. His time of 19:46 was almost two full minutes ahead of second-fastest Jason Khalipa’s 21:35. BrOPT (Michael Fitzgerald) finished an impressive third at 22:13. The workout also had its casualties. Jeremy Thiel tore a lat on his first muscle-up, and three men were unable to finish in the allotted 30min.
There are interviews with: Sveinbjorn Sveinbjornsson, Stephane Rochet, and Mikko Salo.

It's unreal how much the quality of athletes has improved since 2009 (singles on toes to bar, singles mixed with doubles on jump rope). Much respect to these athletes though. Even the judging has improved...and the level of standards is so much higher now...good stuff.

And I thought that I was the only one that spotted that the level is so much higher this year....I wonder how the games will be in 10 years from now!!!

A big reason why the quality is so much higher in these competitions is because of the introduction of PED's. With the fact that money is now much greater for winning the competition, and the growing popularity it is no wonder that these athletes are getting better, and it is no wonder that they are taking things.

MsAnusanus "And the First Prize Award of $5000..." as well!
Congratulations to Mikko Salo
Great moment at the end of the chipper with Tommy and Miko both done -- great to see good sportsmanship
Miko kills it, with his shirt tucked in!!!
Heat 1 Starts at 4:08 Heat 2 starts at 31:55
Increible como ha cambiado todo.. Esta bueno ver el inicio de todo sobre estos eventos :-)
The demo box jumps were no reps. LOL. But man how CrossFit has evolved.
And no nanos were seen that day
Amazing win for Mikko even with all those no reps! Some of those calls were also a bit questionable...
wow, its so funny to watch this in 2017
Still funny in 2020 😂
1st place $5.000.00, 11 years later $300.000.00. Sorry Mikko!
