The fan who beat The Freeze by saving his legs for the finish
A short on the Atlanta Braves' famous between-innings race became the clips channel's standout of the week, well ahead of a golf honesty story and a Pickford penalty save.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 452,958 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (36,580).
The Fan Who Actually BEAT “The Freeze” 😳⚾
Most people who race The Freeze lose. The ballpark sets it up that way: a fan gets a huge head start, and then a sprinter in an icy blue bodysuit comes from behind and passes them before the finish. The man in FitVision's newest short tried something different.
As the description tells it, he did not burn everything in the first stretch, as most challengers do. He kept something back, sped up at the right moment and held on to win. The Freeze has been a fixture at Braves home games since the club moved into its new park in 2017, so a fan actually getting to the line first counts as an event.
FitVision is a clips channel that collects odd and memorable sports moments: a golfer calling a penalty on himself, a corner kick taken while the defense wasn't looking, a motorbike rider hurling a sandbag mid-race. Its shorts usually open in the tens of thousands. This one passed half a million views in little more than a day, at a time when the channel's overall pace was a little below its usual.
The small comment section mostly argues about strategy. Some viewers praise the patience, others insist they would simply sprint from the start and keep going, and one wants IShowSpeed to try his luck next.

Dang that’s pretty smart not wasting energy
@Finplays17See it on YouTubethere's no way the freeze runs a 200m 5-6 seconds faster than me, I'd just take off and maintain for the race
