We're off with event 1, and it's a classic based off an event from the 2007 CrossFit games. Heavier and more complex movements that the athletes will have to rip through! Big fan of this one, and I expect some fun

@jonjones229 Champions take event 1, both failing their last rep, and youngest both take 2nd!

@jonjones229 Event 1 of like, 26:

Everyone on here-"Noah's toast. Brooke is a failure. Mat and Tia have this locked down"

(The last part is probably accurate no matter what)

 

[brdbroken]

@jonjones229 10 total athletes, workout coverage from less than 50% of them in Event 1 LOL

 

[anneka]

@brdbroken I’ll call you a wambulance

 

[brdbroken]

@anneka LOL what?

This has always been an issue to some extent, that many people have brought up, but it's more forgivable/understandable in multiple heats of 10-20 people. How are they not able to bounce back and forth and show footage and talk about FIVE ATHLETES in an event though?

 

[jasonrporter0316]

@jonjones229 Tia's muscle-ups are so smooth and efficient it's ridiculous

 

[lbir0]

@jasonrporter0316 Did you not see Kari Pearce's ones? Her elbows barely moved because she was getting so high above the bar!

@jonjones229 Ben Burgeron's female athletes not looking too well right now. Wouldnt be surprised if they come in 4th and 5th at the end of the weekend

 

[musicman887]

@turnkeyfx The arching in their lower back on the jerks were so hard to watch, especially Wells

 

[turnkeyfx]

@musicman887

m not shocked to be seeing Katrin not doing great on that one.I feel like over the past few years, the pure strength element needed for reps has outpaced her gain in strength (similar to what happened to Briggs).Now what is uncomfortably heavy for her for reps is part of a fair number of workouts and often coupled with something that might be considered her wheelhouseReplyGive AwardshareReportSave

Brooke was the strongest female athlete in 2015 & 16 cleaning 270, now shes looking sloppy strength wise

 

[leannec]

@musicman887 I didn't think Katrin's looked overly arched, she was just catching her jerks a lot lower than the others were vs Brooke with the big arch and wide legs both on the clean and the jerks

@jonjones229 Its worth noting that Kat had a significant back injury this winter and Ben said she wasn't able to lift for awhile. I'm sure shes still dealing with that and nervous to put so much weight overhead.

 

[ezie]

@jonjones229 Haley Adams isnt that strong either. but she moved that barbell without it kicking her ass anything like it did to katrin and brooke...

 

[rob3rt]

@ezie if you listened to the commentary they mentioned that while Adams doesnt have a *ton* of raw strength comparatively speaking (like her 1RMs) shes able to cycle more volume very close to her 1 RM pretty efficiently

 

[jonjones229]

@ezie I think there's a difference between pure max strength and being able to comfortably cycle a barbell.

It's definitely a hole in their games, but I kind of expect that to happen to Katrin at this point as it has shown to be a weaker part of her game in the past. Just as it often is with Noah

 

[anneka]

@jonjones229 What was that like 4 or 5 out of 10 athletes fail their final rep?? Brutal

 

[pnelson]

@anneka Turns out the loading in male vs female was perfect.
