2022 NoBull CrossFit Games - IE9: Hat Trick Discussion Thread

@kennybest No, she was asking Taylor what it was like to be racing against Annie, who was clearly faster than her. The workout was really won by her 3 teammates.

@jonjones229 I think Nisler could podium in individuals she’s so dominant in this field.

@audmanout Nisler is a monster I guess relatively bad at muscle ups? 290 front squat I think

@jonjones229 Annie is strong on those wall balls ❤ love her

 

[zongruger]

@jonjones229 Annie is so fun to watch.

@jonjones229 seems like this will be a bit rougher for the smaller athletes

@nina1125 Dunno man. As a 6” 4’ lanky old man, snatches have A LOT of distance to travel!

Obviously helps with stride length in the run but it’s not going to be an all out sprint I wouldn’t have thought.

@jonjones229 Do we know whether the DB snatch has to be a squat snatch? Based on this I'm assuming DB power snatch is allowed, unless the athlete needs to squat snatch it.

 

[psalm51flower]

@lmf They were saying on the Sevan show that they have to be squat snatch.

 

[lmf]

@psalm51flower That's why I'm asking, because they said it on the podcast but nothing in the actual event description mentions squatting.

 

[psalm51flower]

@lmf FWIW the event description for Elevated Elizabeth only says "cleans" and they had to be squat cleans.

 

[lmf]

@psalm51flower Ah, interesting. Thanks for that detail! I guess I'll just wait and find out.

I wish they would adopt a specific set of descriptors for power/squat/optional, like "power clean" or "squat clean" or "clean" so it would be clearer. I know they're a little bit trying to appease the Oly lifting community because in those circles a "clean" always implies a squat unless specifically described as a power clean. Back in 2015 the 12th event included DB squat snatches and they were named as "dumbbell squat snatches".

 

[jonjones229]

@lmf Usually they'll specify if squat is required, so I'd assume you're correct
