2020 CrossFit Games Finals Event 7: Snatch Speed Triple

[anneka]

@sookie1953 I think it was more cause the women knew they could hit it. Noah just didn’t have that 265 in him if you saw that first attempt

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Mat is just a god damn animal

 

[aaron2025]

@jonjones229 Do they hit Ohlsen with the "Effort required" rule?

 

[dawn16]

@aaron2025 The rule applies if you are 5th. The question is whether you get 15 pts or 0 pts. Noah was already 4th. Otherwise, in theory, if Tia had the total locked up before the last DL, she would still have to attempt it. Makes no sense. The athlete who is guaranteed first place shouldn’t have to attempt a Max deadlift to avoid a 0 on the event.

 

[sookie1953]

@aaron2025 Technically they should! That’s why they shouldn’t made open to interpretation rules like that!

 

[anneka]

@aaron2025 No

 

[notbybreadalone]

@aaron2025 It’s gonna be interesting cause he wasn’t “last” but he didn’t give “max effort” lol

 

[dan_r]

@aaron2025 Exactly my question

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Almost all the guys missing the last weight on last weight of 2nd round. Women's weight should've been at least 20lbs heavier each round.

 

[libiya]

@jonjones229 Disappointed by ohlsen

 

[dan_r]

@libiya Yup.

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Weight difference there between men and women: Top guys need to squat on the last weight of 1st round vs the women who power snatch 1st weight of 2nd round.

 

[rhondalittle]

@jonjones229 Fraser only one belted for this? (I find it awkward to snatch in one, personally)

 

[juniorsti]

@rhondalittle Re: snatching with a belt

It depends on your proportions and what your pull from the ground is like. Also depends on the belt type i.e. nylon vs a leather belt with a buckle

 

[john25]

@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

 

[josephmetalman]

@jonjones229 Adler, Fraser, Meideros is my pick

 

[dawn16]

@josephmetalman I think Medeiros said he still struggles overhead a bit. That aside, I do think Adler could have beaten Fraser if his technique were a little better. With his Oly background, Fraser’s lifts were for the most part technically sound. But even during the second round, second weight, it took Adler 3 attempts; he wasn’t staying over the bar and was pulling really early. He was able to use his strength to muscle the bar the rest of the way up, but he wasn’t in a good receiving position. Dude is strong though, still getting the bar overhead even if he was unbalanced and unable to stand it up.

@jonjones229 Tia after her events: cheers everyone and hugs everybody.

Mat after his events: huddles silently in the corner like Gollum with his body parts buried in ice.

 

[jesseb04]

@christissovereign Tia is friends with those other women...Mat doesn’t have a relationship with the guys there and there is definite unfriendly beef between Mat and Noah.

 

[rentalman]

@jesseb04 Is there any history between them having beef?
