@giftsigns I loveeeee that Lydia Fish’s lifetime max squat snatch was 160 and then she hit 175 x 2 in competition

 

[kmoreno]

@akingbade That was wild. There was a guy who also had a previous PR under the final weight

 

[keyboard0012]

@giftsigns So happy Haley had this event win

 

[giftsigns]

@keyboard0012 I was surprise she won, but really happy with that. She needed that win with some heavy stuff coming up.

@giftsigns Anikha

 

[zongruger]

@soldout77 1 point! 1 freakin point. That’s gonna sting for a while.

 

[dcpdendo]

@zongruger A lot of if’s and when’s but in event 4, she was actually only 4/10 of a second behind Tia. I’m sorry for her. I mean she did great in event 4, but still 4/10 over 6 events decided if you make it or not…

 

[zongruger]

@dcpdendo Agree with that. That last event she needed a higher ending but struggled with the dumbbell lunges. That was not the time or place to fall into 24th place.

 

[soldout77]

@zongruger Sooo closeee this year and the past!

 

[biblicalselfdefense]

@soldout77 I’m gutted for her. I saw her walking around a couple times this weekend and she seems super cool. I hate that for her.

 

[soldout77]

I remember her being close a couple of times and it's brutal:
2024: 1 spot away
2023: 1 spot away
2022: error with score in quarterfinals
2021: 1 spot away

 

[asatrugirl]

@soldout77 Even her teens career:
2018: 1 point away (14/15)
2019: 5 places out (16/17)
2020: qualified 2nd, but games cancelled

 

[giftsigns]

Danielle Brandon 10th in handstand walk? What happened there?

 

[lindae2005]

@giftsigns The rest of the field just got better at handstand walks.

 

[marissa777]

@giftsigns My guess is the row

 

[giftsigns]

@marissa777 She was one of the fastest off the rower in the first round, but got slower in the 2nd and 3rd round. Pacing may be the problem. What I had expected is that she would have a good lead after HSW, but she didn't, other people were just as fast, or she got slower.

 

[kmoreno]

@giftsigns I think the HSW only has minimal chance to catch or expand gaps on other competitors. Especially the final heat, they’re all going unbroken. The row is what caused separation

 

[giftsigns]

@kmoreno You have to watch her do HSW in some events in the past, she was practically running on her hands.

 

[prodigaldisciple]

@giftsigns Or It's semis and people are going way to deep with their analysis.
