@jonjones229 The lack of standard upheld with moving past the dotted lines is unfortunate to see. Like others have said Vellner had Medeiros had they done their jobs as judges

@jonjones229 Did the women struggle because their shoulders aren’t as wide as the average male competitor? Makes balancing the bag difficult. That seemed much harder for them and I know most can handle that squat weight.

 

[st333333]

@jarvis75 Could be because they did same calories on ski erg

@jonjones229 Horvath!!!

@jonjones229 Alexis drops to 4th. Bugger.

 

[leebarnes]

@jonjones229 These games have been wild. Ellie Turner went from towards the cut line to 61 points away from tenth place in one event.

Insane.

 

[anneka]

@leebarnes Also 55 pts away from the cut line still. These early events shake up the leaderboard a lot

 

[leebarnes]

@anneka It’s just seems to be more than usual the leaderboard is jumping around.

 

[grace4nan]

@leebarnes Check out Horvath last year:

 

[leebarnes]

@grace4nan This was cool to see. Thanks.

 

[anneka]

@leebarnes Nah it’s legit always like this lol it settles down day 3 and 4

 

[leebarnes]

@anneka I guess I just didn’t pay as much attention last year to the leaderboard

 

[sharzid]

@jonjones229 Such a good pain cave workout. Very complete programming so far.

 

[nikelove]

@sharzid I’m sad not all athletes get to do the total, but it has felt very fair before the first cut.

 

[pixey]

@jonjones229 How's DB in the test?

 

[grace4nan]

@pixey death blow

 

[mbahchidinma]

@pixey irrelevant

 

[pixey]

@mbahchidinma like she should be
