.....i guess most people missed this?

is it only in the stadium? cuz it wasn't at the field. It was an announcer over a PA, not the same as last year which is what most people meant

Am I the only one who thought the commentators last year were annoying? When the one lady mentioned going "balls to the wall" on the last run of Helen on steroids, the other commentator flipped and goes "OH MAH GAWD THERE ARE FAMILIES WATCHING THIS! I APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF ALL THE WEENIES HERE!" .. I'd rather have silence in the booth and listen to Castro screaming out how all the athletes are doing.

yeah there was some good and some bad, but overall atleast it was more like watching tv so i could veg out and not rely on something else for audio entertainment

Patrik- Chill bro! haha,

if you watched any of the footage from regionals, it was really well done, and i imagine it will be at least as good as the regionals once they are back at the HDC

Is the feed live on the website?

e.g. wfs
http://games.crossfit.com/finals/live/satellite

Mine isn't loading?

Or is there a different site showing this

Ask for a refund then.
