2023 NoBull CrossFit Games IE8 - Intervals Discussion

@benjames711 She hasn’t looked like her usual self today.

@jonjones229 Is something wrong with Annie's foot?

 

[skelendke]

@jonjones229 Someone at CrossFit is crapping themselves over the very real possibility of the two champions being Khrennikov, who can't do interviews, and Horvath who won't do interviews.

 

[cannie]

@skelendke Is this like a confirmed thing? Khrennikov can absolutely do interviews. Having a translator works fine. Also, Horvath seems to do plenty of interviews?

 

[skelendke]

@cannie I was joking really. Khrennikov isn't fluent in English and Horvath refuses to do any podcasts and is based in Europe.

They're both harder to squeeze market value out of than Raptis and Adler would be.

 

[cannie]

@skelendke Yeah, it would be super hard if the women's champ wasn't from North America....imagine if she was like...Australian or something.

 

[cecilia102]

@skelendke Khrennikov is one of the best stories in CF recently. He adds immense value to the sport.

@jonjones229 Bad event for spectators. It should have been a 2 min break for everyone, so that the first that crosses the line, actually wins the event. Obviously CF has issues with the time tracking. Bakers time is incorrect!

 

[dcpdendo]

Or let the stopwatch go on after the 6min with the first crossing time.

 

[ellorienne]

@dcpdendo That would’ve been cool too. But it’s also more strategy how they have it now because if you go harder for the first interval you get more rest

 

[zongruger]

@jonjones229 Annie just making this look easy! Emma Cary doing what she needs to be doing. This is going to be a real interesting finish…hold on!!!

 

[cannie]

@jonjones229 Kinda wish the tall box jump overs were actually box jumps. Maybe 30/36 would have been better.

 

[intheabyss]

@jonjones229 Unsurprised to see Annie Thorisdottir smashing this; it seems like her kind of event for sure. Although I guess we’ll see if she keeps it up for round two.

 

[nicole89]

@jonjones229 Kelly Baker is proof the cuts are stupid. Slides into top 30 because of the injury and jumps 7 places with one event, now wins her heat for Event 8. Let everyone who qualifies compete the whole weekend for true placement and test of fitness.

 

[johnmorre91]

@nicole89 This is what I’m saying. You cut people without testing everything and don’t give people a chance to rock in their wheelhouse, its stupid. They can be major disrupters in the leaderboard.

Also Kelly goes to my gym so naturally I want her to keep crushing it.

 

[dcpdendo]

@nicole89 Bakers time is obviously incorrect on event 8. She had 4:40ish and 4:20 and total time is shown as 6:42.

 

[jamie01]

@nicole89 Burgers and beer are the best recovery meal as well!

 

[keyboard0012]

@nicole89 I agree! I wait all year to see the top 40 athletes compete.

 

[throwaway]

@jonjones229 I thought the first half was a buy in? Or is the whole thing timed?

 

[jarvis75]

@throwaway You can’t even tell who’s winning because you have to add the rounds.
