Dan Bailey completed only 8 of the 9 required squat cleans at 275 lb. He and his appointed judge both miscounted the score in the fourth round before Dan went on to complete the remaining reps at 19:49. Because of the judging error, Dan’s score has been withheld from the Leaderboard at his request.

The second workout of the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games Open has been announced. Open Workout 16.2 is four minutes of 25 toes-to-bar, 50 double-unders, and 15 squat cleans (135 lb. / 85 lb.). If an athlete can complete that work in less than four minutes, four minutes is added to the clock and that athlete works to complete another round with two fewer reps of squat clean at a higher weight. This continues for up to five rounds. Find the complete information, and scaling options on the Workout Description page. Scores are due by 5 p.m. PT Monday, March 7.
From the CrossFit Games Rulebook: “Any movement deemed uncommon, out of the ordinary or used to amend, shorten or change the accepted movement standard or range of motion including line of action of any event movement can and will be disallowed. It is the responsibility of the athlete to notify their judge or CrossFit Inc. of any questionable movement before the workout.”
Some top athletes chose to use smaller, metal plates in order to intentionally shorten the height of the jump on the bar-facing burpees in Open Workout 16.1.
Those who are found cheating in this way will receive a major penalty, and lose 15 percent of their reps on the workout. Athletes who are required to submit video must show that the proper equipment was used or else they will receive the same penalty.
Scores submissions for Open Workout 16.1 have closed. Late scores will not be accepted.
Affiliate Managers have until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2, at 5 p.m. PT.

I already verified my account but I can’t upload long videos.
If you used to be able to upload long videos and no longer can, check your account for copyright claims and strikes.
You’ll only be able to upload long videos if your account is in good standing based on YouTube Community Guidelines and there aren’t any worldwide Content ID blocks on your account.
My video is larger than 128GB.
If your video is larger than 128GB, try compressing your video in a video editor before uploading it to YouTube. This will reduce your video file size, while still keeping the video quality high. One common way to compress a video for YouTube is to encode it using the H.264 codec.

Plot Summary
Rich Froning Jr. entered the 2014 CrossFit Games competition with three consecutive victories, a feat that no other athlete had accomplished. After finding CrossFit in 2009, Froning began a history-making career, finishing second at the CrossFit Games in 2010 and dominating the competition for the next four years. His four titles, five trips to the podium, 16 event wins, 35 top-five event finishes and 45 top-10 event finishes are all records, and he’s revered in the community. Froning’s athletic prowess has been under the microscope for five years, but there’s much more to the man from Tennessee than snatches and pull-ups. In this in-depth documentary by Heber Cannon, take a look into the life and childhood of the fittest man in history, follow his quest to a fourth straight CrossFit Games championship, and see him as a son, a husband and a new father.
