@jonjones229 That missed jerk by Fraser looked painful

 

[ritavan]

@rhondalittle The fact he was icing his elbows in the cooler is slightly concerning. Hopefully it means nothing.

 

[chozen129]

@rhondalittle I was legitimately afraid his elbow went out on that one.

@jonjones229 I don't think I've ever seen Fraser go to muscle failure before. Anyone else remember one?

 

[jonjones229]

@dan_r Handstand pushups in Pedal to the Metal 2 and Rope Climbs in the Soccer Chipper in 2015

Handstand pushups one really stands out because it was the the final event of the Games and lead to Ben Smith making up a 36 point deficit

I remember some interview with him were he mentioned how sick he became of people asking him about handstand pushups after that year

@dan_r The pig/rope climbs from 2015?

 

[dan_r]

@tara1211 Missed that one

@jonjones229 Thoughts

Medieros is legit. He’s gonna be a real top tier competitor this weekend and in the future. Hot take but he may bring the heat to Fraser.

Noah still crashes and burns and seemingly is regressing from last year.

@dawn16 Medieros did an amazing job! Seems like such a nice guy too.

A shame to see Noah struggle, hope he picks it up for the next events.

 

[jonjones229]

@dawn16 It's still the same problem with Noah for sure, but I wouldn't call it too much of a regression yet. The BMU is something he is top tier at, but heavy weights have always been more problematic for him and 35 jerks at 235 is definitely going to cause him some issues.

We'll see how it goes through the rest of the weekend though, particularly since we have Total coming today as well

@jonjones229 Fraser may have a race on his hands...

This will be his final title. Medeiros is here now.

 

[anneka]

@coreya8652 It was close lol

 

[coreya8652]

@anneka Hahaha, eating my words for sure

 

[anneka]

@coreya8652 Lol the dude did decent in the first event let’s calm down

 

[annam23]

@coreya8652 Love to see it, it really makes it exciting!

 

[sydneysteve]

@jonjones229 Wow, Noah! That was rough. C'mon brother--you can do this. Long weekend.

 

[ministeveirwin]

@jonjones229 Poor Noah. Medeiros though. Woaaaaahhhhhh.

 

[pnao]

@jonjones229 As a Noah fan this is super disappointing. Justin looked great though.

 

[ezie]

@jonjones229 holy crap noah crashed and burned in this event. my god!

 

[jonjones229]

@ezie I'm a big fan of him, but this has historically been a big problem for him. He has a lot of ability, but his pacing is typically awful
