I’ve had the opportunity of covering the @crossfitgames on the media team for the past 7 years and this year we absolutely crushed it. This year was also the most challenging for me physically because I was usually chasing athletes through the hills in Aromas, at the beach in Redondo or on the soccer field at the stub hub. Believe me my fitness was tested, thanks @crossfit. Can’t wait to share what’s coming soon. 5 @reddigitalcinema, 2 @freeflysystems, 1 @sonyalpha. #chasingthefittest in the bottom lane on the #shuttlesprint with @freeflysystems #M5

拍攝運動賽事時，為了捕捉運動員的快速動作，攝影師多數都會用航拍機來追蹤目標，而不會親身下場跟著跑這麼辛苦。不過，攝影師 Marston Sawyers 在 2016 年報道「Reebok CrossFit Games」賽事時的在場邊狂奔的片段，就引起了不少網民討論，並在近日重新獲得瘋傳。

從高處拍攝的鏡頭可以見到，在畫面下方攝影師為了捕捉運動員衝線的關鍵一刻，捧著相機跟著狂奔，雖然他不會計算在賽事名次之內，不過他當時也跑在第三。

攝影師的表現令不少人感到震驚及大讚他專業，不過也有網民指出，運動員可能在短跑之前已做了 100 次深蹲，而且短跑全程是 400 米，而攝影師只是參與了最後 100 米，所以兩者速度才會這麼接近。
