@jonjones229 Let’s have some fun. Without looking it up, who can name the last non-American to win Fittest Man?

@anonymous258 I completely agree with him that this was the same event twice. One of the beauties of the CF Games programming is that it attempts to not benefit athletes who are specialists at one event, or punish those who suck at another event (comparatively to other Games athletes). Having...

@jared280 Just like with any other sport on the planet, CrossFit has good coaches and bad coaches. Any coach, in any sport, is failing at their job if they don’t listen to his athletes and adjust training to accommodate injuries. IME, the vast majority of CF coaches do a great job of adjusting...

@jared280 You’re thinking about these 2 sports as comparable, when they have different purposes. CrossFit by design is a generalist sport. You’ll sometimes hear the expression “knowledgeable in all, master of none”. The goal is to build athletes who have a baseline level of strength...

@jonjones229 I know this is an old-man-yelling-at-clouds comment, but I miss how the Reebok games looked visually. They always came up with a combination of colors that accented each other, and then let athletes pick-and-choose how to combine those colors into shorts, shirts, shoes, sweatbands...

@ladyches It was actually more of a roller coaster than you realize. It was questionable whether he'd get it (partially for previous reasons, partially because of the Ukraine war). He's been here since spring, training in the US. Then when he got in, he had to leave again to compete in...

@tuffsit By the same logic, shouldn't be you be suspicious of any rookie? Couldn't any athlete take steroids, HGH, and anything else, for years, and then drop off them when they want to compete? Unless you're going to start questioning every single rookie athlete, this criticism seems rather...

@psalm51flower He's been tested more than anyone else this year. So if you think he's not clean, you gotta think that about everyone else also.

@ablitive I had to step away for a while. Who was injured?

@gabriel1986 It's a 5-point margin. I wouldn't be declaring the competition over yet.

@12345susie I honestly didn't care until this moment who won. Suddenly I am going to be cheering so hard for anyone but Tia.

@norm 100% still applies. In fact we often see new members gain weight initially. This is often because their metabolism spikes due to the increased workload of wods, and therefore they're hungry all the time. It takes them some time before they can rebalance their diets, during which time...

@jonjones229 Did Tia really have a pair of shoes on standby for when she took the lead? I mean I realize this was likely NoBull's marketing team's idea. But still...

@webbotpredicts Valid point. But at least an underpaid college grad is building marketable skills which increases their earning potential later in life. For instance an Accounting major who takes a $35k Big 4 job may not be earning much. But that experience puts them on a path towards an...

@grace4nan First of all she every right to make whatever choice she wants to make. If it was my child, I’d point out that even at the most elite levels, CrossFit as a sport isn’t very lucrative. Only the elitist of the elite (top 5 in the world, MAYBE top 10) currently make enough to be...
