2022 NoBull CrossFit Games IE6: Up and Over Discussion Thread

[fearey]

@thespeedboy They have a pig though at the gym

 

[thespeedboy]

@fearey What does that matter?

 

[fearey]

@thespeedboy They can practice with it

 

[thespeedboy]

@fearey Annie could have one. Hell, she might have one in her gym.

 

[fearey]

@thespeedboy In hindsight I didn’t mean to downplay the achievements of the mayhem teams in that event, just it shows when a team has put practice in - much like how some teams were really well in sync on burpees and RMU

 

[thespeedboy]

@fearey No worries. I figured you meant that they could practice but wanted to make sure there wasn't some other reason. It's been around for close to 10 years now, I think?

 

[fearey]

@thespeedboy Good point hadn’t realised it had been that long!

 

[thespeedboy]

@fearey I actually didn't either. I do have to make a small correction. The pig, in it's current form, debuted in 2015. There was a flip sled they called the pig back in 2013.

@jonjones229 It's kinda wild that the top 5 women in that event were also the top 5 on the overall leaderboard, in exact order.

@jonjones229 Didn’t Barnhardt take a top 10 position in 2019 during The Standard? And usually she seems super strong on events like this… I hope she didn’t injure something, especially after a 9th in The Capitol

@jonjones229 hangry competitors

 

[psalm51flower]

@ben3721 Haha I'm definitely feeling hangry after postponing both breakfast and lunch this long.

 

[psalm51flower]

@jonjones229 Once again the massive discrepancy between heats 1 and 2. Fuselier took 2nd in the first heat but 18 out of 20 women in the 2nd heat beat her.

 

[ellorienne]

@psalm51flower Large*

 

[ellorienne]

@psalm51flower It’s crazy how these are the top 40 crossfitters and there is still such a gap between them

 

[thomasgreentiller]

@jonjones229 Very surprised by Amanda Barnhart!

 

[spookydawg77]

@thomasgreentiller Wondering if something got tweaked in the Capitol event.

 

[sydneysteve]

@thomasgreentiller She doesn't look well, almost like she was in serious pain. Not just the pain of "this workout sucks" but something else. I hope she's okay.

 

[psalm51flower]

@jonjones229 Tia with her characteristic pole to pole domination in that event, but I'm super impressed with Mal O'Brien going sub-13 minutes in this workout with all the jumping over tall things.

@psalm51flower Mal is a fighter holy cow. Wonder if there’s any weird tension between Tia , Mal & Mat, with him essentially coaching her to try and overthrow the queen some day
