Review of Fittest on Earth: Next Gen

This gave all the promise of showing the rise of athletes in CrossFit and where the sport is going. Sadly, this did not turn out to be the case, this was the Tia Clair Toomey show with a smattering of others. Yes she is the most dominant athlete of all time, yes she is clearly the best, however did she come across as arrogant? Perhaps. Saying workouts were easy and almost mocking that the programming was easy didn't come across well. Justin Mederios was heavily featured and rightly so under the premise of next gen, however the likes of hayley adams, Gabi Migala, Jayson Hopper, Danielle Brandon, Saxon Panchik got very little airtime and they are the ones taking the sport forward. We all love a montage and in this there are in abundance which is a big plus, but this was no different to a YouTube behind the scenes we see now. It just feels like CrossFit missed a real chance to show where the games is going.
