2022 NoBull CrossFit Games IE6: Up and Over Discussion Thread

@jonjones229 Roman took a tumble in that event. He'll still be a solid 3rd place because neither Adler nor Dukic did well either, but he's well over 100 points behind Ricky now.

@jonjones229 I’m way more invested in the womens side this year. I don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other on the mens side.

@12345susie Having Garard and Roman shake things up has been interesting. Vellner and Justin seem like they’re a little dazed by them at the moment

 

[kmoreno]

@seattlehope Agreed. After all the trouble Roman has had just to get to games despite qualifying year after year, I’m excited to see how well he’s doing in the mix.

 

[khathutshelo]

@jonjones229 Pumped for Medeiros, was hoping Uncle Pat wouldv'e pulled through!

@jonjones229 Sucks for Fikowski being in the second heat. Finished 2nd in his heat, 15ish overall.

 

[larry3]

@dawn16 In fairness it’s his own fault to be in that heat, stay in top 20 if you want to be in the better heat

@jonjones229 The hope is that Medeiros passing Garard at the end will kick him into gear and make this a little more interesting... Everyone just has to hope that Garard struggles in at least one event so this can be competitive this weekend.

 

[markos]

@michaell Roman is still in this

 

[michaell]

@markos He is, but that 15th-place finish puts him pretty far back now. All depends on what workouts are coming up.

 

[markos]

@michaell He’s still in 2nd ahead of Justin by a few points. I think the swim (whatever it ends up being) will be the deciding factor in the mends side

 

[michaell]

@markos The point total hasn't been updated on the leaderboard. They have where they placed in the event correct but not the actual standings. So Justin will jump him once that's calculated.

 

[markos]

@michaell Ahhh I stand corrected then.

 

[psalm51flower]

@jonjones229 Ricky's finishes have been unbelievably consistent: two 1sts, a 2nd, two 3rds, 5th and 7th. He's gonna be tough to catch.

 

[michaell]

@psalm51flower Getting to the point where I'm very interested in how he would have done the previous four years if he had stayed clean in 2017.

 

[psalm51flower]

@michaell Is he clean now?

 

[orthodoxlady1994]

@psalm51flower He's been tested more than anyone else this year. So if you think he's not clean, you gotta think that about everyone else also.

 

[tuffsit]

@orthodoxlady1994 But was he tested over the last 4 years? He could have been using that whole time and still benefit from it even though he’s “clean” now. The integrity is lost

 

[ezie]

@tuffsit in a conversation elsewhere, someone said that on Sevan's show they discussed that he was tested during his ban. IDK details though and thats second or third hand knowledge so...

 

[orthodoxlady1994]

@tuffsit By the same logic, shouldn't be you be suspicious of any rookie? Couldn't any athlete take steroids, HGH, and anything else, for years, and then drop off them when they want to compete? Unless you're going to start questioning every single rookie athlete, this criticism seems rather hollow.
