2023 NoBull CrossFit Games IE6 - Helena Discussion Thread

[dcpdendo]

@65787577 I don’t think that there is difference if you recover for 16 or 14 hours, but there is a difference if you can recover for 3 or 5. Last heat yesterday was done at around 7:30, I don’t think that many athletes where in bed by that time.

@dcpdendo I’m guessing it had to do with espn programming times

 

[dcpdendo]

@sanders1031 I get it, that espn wants the highlights at the end, but it’s a sporting event and the temp/sun definitely made a difference today on the run. If I’m Will Morad, I’d be pissed. Also, all the women put in the hard work and deserve respect. The cuts make even the first heats quite interesting. The least they can do, is to put the women’s final heat last.

@jonjones229 Something I'm wondering, aren't they supposed to swap hand with the dumbbell snatches? I thought I saw Laura Horvath not doing that near the end, surely she did it wrong therefore technically didn't do all the reps?

 

[youthcenterdream]

@giftsigns She was no repped and then repeated that side as a result.

 

[giftsigns]

@youthcenterdream Ah, thanks, that explains it, she just repeated the rep. I wasn't paying close enough attention.

 

[georgesblog]

@jonjones229 Didn’t set dvr. Anybody know where I can watch? (I’m sorry if this is discussed everywhere)

 

[tgbtg7701]

@georgesblog Don't worry, crossfit is clueless as fuck too. No replay on ESPN+ AND no coverage of Helena on YT. This is why people think the games are a fkn joke. Local government broadcast quality televison coverage. What. A. Joke.

 

[georgesblog]

@tgbtg7701 There is a replay on ESPN plus. I’m currently watching it.

People here complain about everything. Our niche sport is on ESPN? Seems cool to me.

 

[winman]

@georgesblog How do you get to it? I'm trying to pull it up on the ESPN app, and it just keeps blinking and crashing the app. Do I need to watch on a computer?

 

[georgesblog]

@winman I pulled it up on my fire stick through the espn app. I was logged in to plus though.

I think I read that all heats will be on YouTube the day after.

 

[mb74]

@georgesblog ESPN+. So behind a paywall. Sick.

 

[georgesblog]

@mb74 The live broadcast was on ESPN?

 

[mb74]

@georgesblog +.

 

[georgesblog]

@mb74 Last night The live broadcast was on regular espn.

@mb74 Welcome to capitalism

 

[giftsigns]

@jonjones229 Emma Lawson and Alexis Raptis ahead of Laura Horvath at the end of day 2, and I don't think anyone expected the top 10 we are seeing now. The women's race is far more unpredictable, and more exciting. Laura Horvath can still win the Games, but it may not be as easy as people think.

On the men's side, Roman Khrennikov has such a big lead he looks like he will win this year. But, there are always surprises. Let's hope Chandler Smith can podium.

 

[mbahchidinma]

@giftsigns Top 3 ladies no surprise

Laura was 3 last year, Emma was 6, Alexis was 10, and 5 of the top 10 dropped out.

Men's side looks like Roman will be hard to catch, but Adler can maybe do it

 

[pursuetruth]

@jonjones229 I was impressed by Adler, but I did look like he had a few no reps on those dumbbell snatches. Did not put both hexes down on a number of reps… Am I wrong?

 

[primrosehill]

@pursuetruth He certainly may have which would be on the judge, but the camera angles can really mess with what we see on the stream
