@mrscutright52612 That was lazy math, he will get 3rd or 4th. I’d say 50/50 at this point.

@civlwrbuf Right now he is gonna be 3rd or 4th as I see it.

@karebrown It sounds like you are really close to getting your first pull up! Maybe you are even strong enough but your technique/line of action is a bit off. I have seen this a couple of times with female clients. From a dead hang you are not trying to pull towards the top of your head, you are...

@jimmyjam_85 Yeah-ah, I-ah could not-ah understand-ah half the names-ah because of it-ah.

@jaylgee1 Those deadlift reps are shit, you don't even need a better angle or slow down the video to tell that. I just looked through the first set and every rep violated the standards. He is a top athlete, and would probably have won this event even with proper reps, but stuff like this really...

@throwaway Yeah I saw several athletes who had plate loadouts written down on their hand before the snatch event.

@presmom22 I have had lots of “elites” come and go over the years in my gym, including individual games athletes and having had many different teams in the games as well. One common thing I have noticed is that the very best athletes usually come at a very high level out of the box. Usually...

@giftsigns Looking forward to seeing some analysis of where the women qualifying out of Oceania would have ranked in Europe. Even ignoring event 1 which clearly had a longer/harder run, some of these scores appear to be pretty slow. Did Europe get too few spots?

@dereklirus I'm just afraid we will be back to the regionals format where we end up with 3 out of 4 heats of 10 athletes staring at some moderately heavy barbell that they cannot lift to continue their workout. At least last year they made sure most of the athletes in the regionals were strong...

@little_sparrow I don’t follow hunter personally, but I see his reels appear in my feed from time to time. He has an amazing engine/endurance and he’s a pretty big guy for an endurance athlete as well. I know crossfitters often like to hate on him after the wildcard debacle, but he is a pretty...

@jonjones229 Looks like we got the first Reebok heat winners already.

@rovella To be fair, Hunter has some very elite level GPP-style fitness. For someone who doesn’t train CrossFit at all he is pretty good at it.

@giftsigns Tore his achilles tendon on the last few reps on the box apparently.

@tennesseegirl1993 I saw it live from the stands. I don’t remember the exact situation but I remember thinking it was a fair call at the time.

@susan67 Doesn't sound too far off to me, but he definitely adds a sort of swedish accent to it. The thing is, us people from non english speaking/sounding countries often "anglify" our names when speaking to an english speaking audience. That is why you often hear the "Davids-Daughter" or...

@susan67 So he should rather butcher the names intentionally?

@giftsigns Lucy Campbell was actually great as a sidekick with Chase in the stream.

@jadex Is this any more weird than people fasting during daylight hours for a month every year for religions reasons, even during competitions?

@patona He has always been honest in my dealings with him at least, and always responsive whenever I reached out via email. Probably been 2-3 years since I had any dealings with him.

@jackline You can technically just find some free online programming and follow that for a while. In my experience there is a lot of unwritten know how that needs to be taught in order to actually do it right and very few people manage to do it right on their own. In particular the intensity...
