Below is a dashboard and analysis tool we created to take a look at what the 2011 Crossfit Games Regional competition would have been like, had it not mattered which region the athletes actually competed in. In other sports, divisions matter, a ton, mainly beacause teams play against each other which directly affects the outcome. This is how you can have a team with a better wins-loss record than another team in a different division not make it to the playoffs because they themselves aren’t in first place in their own division. (eg. Patriots don’t make the playoffs w/ a 12-4 record but the Chargers do w/ an 8-8 record)
In Crossfit, who you compete against has little to do with how the individual athletes perform. Now we admit, that the coditions in which the athletes compete vary, outdoors vs. indoors, grass vs. rubber mat, etc. which do have a difference however the variances are slight.
First we have the top athletes and teams from around the world ranked regardless of which division they competed in.
The next analysis we have here shows the breakdown of the top 50 athletes and teams from the above analysis broken down by region. This tells us, had it not mattered which division athletes competed in, these would be the number of athletes and teams that should have made it to the 2011 Crossfit Games.
Yet another breakthrough in Fitness Intelligence by the data geeks at Hieghtn Athletics. Choose options on the right to compare the top 10 athletes, men and women, from 2010 to 2011. The top chart is a total of the top 10 from both years scores for the 2011 Crossfit Games Open. The bottom chart shows detailed performance trends of the athletes from both the 2010 Crossfit Games and the 2011 Crossfit Games Open.
Note: Valerie MacKenzie Voboril did not compete in the 2011 Crossfit Games Open
People in Motion is a 90 minute film showcasing the potential people have to move through time and space. The film is shot in true slow motion with an original music score composed by Alex Bornstein & edited using a composite technique which illustrates stretches of time in an instant.
Why? We hope this film will inspire people to look at their world with a fresh perspective and search for new possibilities. Most people spend their lives walking & sitting without ever considering alternative methods of moving through their environments. Our film follows people who look at the world through a different lens. They flip off of buildings, leap over enormous gaps, and run on walls. Few people experience this freedom of movement & liberation from normalcy.
What we want to do… we’ve started filming & editing in San Diego, California and want to raise the funds needed to take our athletes on tour from the beaches of Southern California towards the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, we’ll be capturing the journey of how they interact with the world and their personal philosophies.
