2020 CrossFit Games Finals Event 7: Snatch Speed Triple

[holly957]

@brdbroken did you watch the trail run bro?

 

[brdbroken]

@holly957 Yes. She just seemed completely content with taking 2nd instead of even trying to push TCT on this.

 

[josephmetalman]

@brdbroken Chance of being Tia was maybe 5%. If she goes for it and misses, she gets 3rd and 25 less points. It’s better for her to just make sure to hit every rep and get 2nd. Sometimes you have to do the best you can do and that’s it.

 

[brdbroken]

@josephmetalman So, don't try?

That attitude will never make a champion.

TCT from a technical standpoint is tops, but Brooke is very strong. Not a lot of events have lined up her way, why not take advantage when you have a chance?

I'd take her getting a fail and immediately retrying and nailing it, over Katrin in the final heat.

Put a bookmark on those extra points she MAYBE could have fought harder for, see if it has any affect over the remaining events.

@jonjones229 The women’s snatch weights should be heavier IMO.
Edit: I meant in general. All the weights should have been +5 or +10 heavier for the women.

 

[trar]

@dawn16 185 for the final bar is pretty freaking heavy.

 

[dawn16]

@trar I think 190 would have been a bit more appropriate for the capacity of the top females. But that’s just my opinion. Maybe I’m wrong.

 

[trar]

@dawn16 Maybe they could of done 190. But at the end of the day the results would have still been the same.

 

[dawn16]

Agreed. 100lbs lighter seems a bit much.

 

[vladd]

@dawn16 They get heavier in each round.

 

[christissovereign]

@dawn16 It's about to get heavier.

@jonjones229 What was that “coach’s mistake” that they were peddling into the storyline? Did Fraser’s coach fuck up the numbers on the CrossFit total??

 

[wvchristian]

@atheistaaron Yeah Mat pounding his chest after his deadlift. He thought he won. Manager mistake.
