@jacknorth I mean, yeah. I guess they have to create at least some drama/narrative other than "Mat/Tia GOATS" though!

@brdbroken She just has that resting dumb face.

@lenanais Nah no way! But he needs to keep his ‘baby’, the Games, relevant and exciting, so he’ll chat shit about elite guys (Pat, Mat) and look for reactions, and stir that narrative up that Mat’s slipping etc. Honestly I think in terms of his job, he’s a genius. He plays it perfectly.

@althalus12 Ah see i feel almost exactly the opposite. I think he's awesome at his job, his programming is excellent, and as per, this is a really slick event in the face of a shitstorm around it. He is a massive piss taker though, loves stirring shit up, he's like a cartoon villain.

@jonjones229 Castro will LOVE it if Noah beats Mat here, ha

@oddrob I know man, i was just fooling! Making light of how shit i feel at this age, ha

@christissovereign That's the age difference in effect! Speaking as a 35 year old, shit gets TOUGH after 30. Mat's a freak but he'll be hurting at least a little bit!

@rhondalittle The Rogue Nylon belts are quite good for it, much more flexible but still offer stability. The leather Rogue one designed for Oly lifts is even better, its shaped slimmer round the front so you can bend better in it

@nina1125 Dunno man. As a 6” 4’ lanky old man, snatches have A LOT of distance to travel! Obviously helps with stride length in the run but it’s not going to be an all out sprint I wouldn’t have thought.

@rentalman Yeah absolutely, must be a really fine line!

@rentalman Proper effective though. Lift back end, take a ton of drag off

@dawn16 Without a doubt. It’s absolute garbage. It’s one of those movements you see as a non CrossFitter and completely understand why there’s still a level of “WTF is this”.

@jonjones229 I'd love to see this be an elimination twist event They think they're done, but get a 2 min rest and have to go again, minus the previous round's loser.

@dawn16 Ok but the reality is that ‘cost’ in minimal, and OP has just been given a pay rise. If the 5 hours thing is too much to swallow, then they could suggest the boss keeps the pay rise and let’s them continue to use the gym for free. I’m not saying this is ideal, but I definitely don’t...

@actor4life20 5 hours a month? What’s that, 15 mins extra a day? And he just gave you a pay rise and you already contribute nothing to your membership. And it’s the only box in town? I mean…am I missing something here?

@jesseb04 They’re doing their best buddy, haha. They all look gassed because they’re absolutely rinsed. Brook to be fair to her did well, recognised she’s not going to beat Tia, and important not to burn out doing so, keep safe at 2nd.

@jesseb04 Not sure if you've ever tried to run a sled at that weight, for any distance, but it sucks. The drag factor, the body positioning....It's such a burn. After 2 days of leg events, and a sprint right before, it's honestly impressive they even made it there and back!

@lipglasshoney Do the athletes get a choice? Some may prefer their dominant foot maybe?

@ezie Yeah he was fucked! Anyone else id worry about but his recovery is unrivalled

@jwpastor Ooooooh apologies, I see! My mistake, and agree totally, his individual event wins here are skewed by a lower number of competitors. Mat doesn’t seem to care much about the individual wins, all about the big picture, but it’s certainly a narrative the commentators love to bang on about!
