2020 CrossFit Games Finals Event 2: Corn Sack Sprint

[emdie]

@dawn16 Lol he is DQed

 

[anneka]

@dawn16 Yes it’s ok

 

[pnao]

@dawn16 Thats a good question.

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 We don’t want to interview Mat 5 times each day so we’ll interview 2nd place

 

[ezie]

@jonjones229 in that replay showing Mat cross the line and dump his sack, anyone else notice how wobbly his legs were under him. wow.

 

[john25]

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

 

[jonjones229]

@ezie Yeah, he was moving pretty gingerly to get that water too. Legs must just be absolutely on fire

 

[dan_r]

@jonjones229 Jesus, it's not even close through the first two heats on the Men's side.

 

[dawn16]

@dan_r It's just a product of 5 athletes and scoring. If Matt has a bad event (probably won't happen, but still), the lead is gone in an instant.

 

[dan_r]

@dawn16 I'm not talking about the score. Fraser isn't just winning, he's crushing. It's not like he's sneaking by with close wins

 

[dawn16]

@dan_r He only won the first workout by 8 seconds...

 

[nikolle3295]

@dawn16 You know that was by design, he paced off others took breaks to keep ahead but not bury himself.

 

[dawn16]

@nikolle3295 Yes, he did pace the workout, but he also failed his last rep which allowed Medeiros to close the gap.

 

[the_laconic_dead]

@jonjones229 Oh no Justin

 

[primrosehill]

@the_laconic_dead Well, lesson learned.

Pulling for Jeff though, I’m glad to see a Canadian there

 

[hbyej60]

@the_laconic_dead its like when you see a car crash happening in slow motion. nooooo

 

[patrick1975]

@jonjones229 My legs could not

 

[ledbythespirit]

@jonjones229 This event is where I really miss watching the back of the pack struggle.

 

[musicman887]

@ledbythespirit Yeah you miss the lads at the back having to drop the bag a few times as they struggled to walk up.

Not saying I'd be able to either. I'd get like 20% of the way up and say fuck it, give me a 0 coach.

 

[jonjones229]

This isn't like a sexy, super fun event to watch, but dear god does it look nasty and effective
