2022 NoBull CrossFit Games IE6: Up and Over Discussion Thread

[aaron2025]

@jonjones229 I wouldn't call Adam's performance in the Capitol a "collapse".
It seemed pretty obvious that she had a plan given how fast she pushed the farmers carries.

 

[jarvis75]

@aaron2025 They always shit on Adam’s strength. She was one of many people who struggled getting up the stairs.

Yes she struggled on that snatch ladder and max out events, but she got 5th freakin place in the Capitol event. She’s strong as shit. Any workout with normal womens barbell weight or dumbbell weight, she moves it fast.

@jarvis75 I was laughing (and crying) at them making a point of saying how big of a weakness strength is during the shuttle run event, when she is repping like 40kg heavier than my max

@jonjones229 Ugh I don’t like it when announcers of any sport praise playing through gross injury. Ripped hands, sure but here and in NFL etc makes me uneasy

Edit: I mean injuries that could have lasting damage, ie Baker Mayfield

 

[dawn16]

@ablitive Browns fan checking in. Please don’t hurt me by bringing any of this up again.

 

[ablitive]

@dawn16 Sorry friend

 

[orthodoxlady1994]

@ablitive I had to step away for a while. Who was injured?

 

[rockey009]

@orthodoxlady1994 Nobody, but the commentators were praising Haley Adams for doing it in the past (ruining her back in the ruck run, tearing up her hands, etc.).

 

[jesuslover666]

@jonjones229 Will Lawson get ANY coverage?

 

[teresa]

@jesuslover666 She's got such a lovely on-camera persona! I wish they'd give her more airtime.

 

[etsisbull]

@jesuslover666 Probably not because she's Canadian. The goal is an American princess to make the podium

 

[jenny011]

@etsisbull Yes I was thinking the exact same thing… Mal being covered if not her then Haley… very American centred

 

[12345susie]

@jesuslover666 She’s in the next heat isn’t she???

 

[jesuslover666]

@12345susie Yeah, but so far she's barely been in a shot! So I'm wondering if they'll show her at all this event.

 

[psalm51flower]

@jesuslover666 I'm sure that if she leads her heat she'll get camera time.

@jonjones229 The axle bar

 

[lipglasshoney]

@jonjones229 So why is Nicole the reporter for the women and another guy for the men? Feels like they don’t think a girl can talk about the mens heat?

 

[jenny011]

@lipglasshoney Nikki Brazier and Mike Arsenault. Not really because Nikki has been doing it for a while … and in previous she was the one predominantly doing the after win interviews but not like this where both genders winners are there at same time. That’s kinda new. Mike previously was more describing the course the athletes will take.

 

[dawn16]

@lipglasshoney I mean, a woman barely knew about Cam Newton’s routes (even tho sports reporting is her job) so why should a women talk about jumping over a log??

s/

Sexism in sports media is super relevant still unfortunately

 

[justprayproject]

@dawn16 Unfortunately true. It irritates me especially as a mma fan and having to hear Joe Rohan and Daniel Cormier who don’t take their job seriously and usually fuck around all broadcast while Laura Sanko is relegated to Tuesday night events not many people watch. She’s as good as they come but we gotta have 2 biased goofballs in the booth for most PPVs.
