Annie Thorisdottir announced she will be filming each of her Open workouts every Friday and uploading her attempts to her YouTube channel . She will also include her initial thoughts on strategy and warmup.

Note: this is a big statement from a top CrossFit athlete. Having public videos for everyone to review means cheating or submitting wrong scores becomes impossible. Only a few months ago, 12 Sanctionals announced they’ll require athletes to film their online qualifier workouts hoping to legitimise the online scoring system.
