@jonjones229 Lotta no-head touches on the db snatches in this women’s final heat…

 

[leebarnes]

@jonjones229 Poor Ellie.

Ugh you hate to see it! I hope she’s ok

 

[mbahchidinma]

@jonjones229 Ellie prob needs to shut it down

Overlooked but relevant

Barnhart a bad time

 

[jarvis75]

@jonjones229 I’m sorry but why are they cheering on someone fighting through a back injury. I love crossfit but sometimes you say no I need to quit this workout. It’s bad for my body.

 

[leebarnes]

@jarvis75 I wonder if she warmed up and thought she would make it through and then once she started didn’t want to stop in the middle.

 

[savedbythebloodofjesus3]

@jarvis75 On the other hand, Ellie's a qualified Physiotherapist, so she may have judged initially that she could push through. Tough seeing her and her family like that

 

[rick357]

@jarvis75 I’m not watching live, but there is money on the line based on placement and she’s probably trying to make the cut. Professional athletes sometimes have to play through injury.

 

[leebarnes]

@rick357 Do they still get the money if they withdraw and don’t finish out the weekend?

 

[rick357]

@leebarnes Yes, if they cannot continue due to injury they retain the points they already got. So if she makes the cut and gets 30th she would at least lock that in.

 

[leebarnes]

@rick357 Thank you. Here’s hoping she she got out of the event what she wanted.

 

[solascriptura116]

@jonjones229 Are they going to show the final heats on ESPN?

 

[jarvis75]

@jonjones229 Emma McQuaid medical withdraw before this workout

 

[williamandcarol]

@jonjones229 I got a feeling Emma Tall is gonna crush this

 

[williamandcarol]

@jonjones229 Ellie turner is injured?

 

[jarvis75]

@williamandcarol They talked about it on spin podcast. At end of the sand bag workout she told her judge “I have a bad back” and couldn’t even bend over to sign her score card.

 

[williamandcarol]

@jarvis75 What a bummer for her. I hope she can get herself healthy soon. She’s a heck of an athlete.

 

[leebarnes]

@williamandcarol Looks like it

 

[williamandcarol]

@leebarnes What I bummer, looks like she is struggling on that run.

@jonjones229 Emma C likes suffering
