@paradiseregained Yeah I’d dare say with a 5th in the open if he announced a return to individual competition I think he’d be the favorite to win it all.

 

[paradiseregained]

@garyholden Rich comes back, wins 5. Mat and Rich battle it out one last time only to have Pat Vellner win, shrug and rides off into the sunset

@jonjones229 Dani looked right pissed she got beat in that last moment.

@jonjones229 I really wish they'd rethink how the team events are done. It's so boring to watch now, used to be so fun. Not sure why it can't just be more like the regular events. If I have to see that stupid fuckin worm one more time.

 

[dawn16]

@butlersdog Sooooo boring

 

[at7ila]

@butlersdog Agreed that burpee squat wod was hard to watch. Literally no excitement.

 

[nungirl_7]

@at7ila I disagree, watching one of the Invictus team imploded was quite entertaining.

 

[at7ila]

@nungirl_7 Touché lol

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Did brookes twin sister do event 1?

 

[zongruger]

@dawn16 I think she got time caped with a few others back on maybe the third lift set.

 

[dawn16]

@zongruger Ahh gotcha. I don’t blame her, those are heavy snatches

 

[papabearjunior]

@dawn16 I think Shane said that she hit a PB on that one. Can’t ask for more than that!

 

[mtollett]

@dawn16 Yes.

 

[dawn16]

@mtollett Wht heat cause i did not see it at all

 

[mtollett]

@dawn16 Second heat.

 

[neonm]

@jonjones229 Can only imagine what was going through that judges mind as that woman ran at her, barbell in hand.

 

[little_sparrow]

@neonm probably sees the same therapist that the camerman who almost killed by Khalipa also sees

 

[st333333]

@little_sparrow Nice reference. I see you've also been around a while

 

[zongruger]

@neonm That could’ve went bad fast. I noticed a lot in the third heat in the girls that not a lot know how to bail the weight. So many bars going behind the athlete or the bar doing weird stuff with the shoulder being twisted. Good way to end your Games experience.

 

[sarachesus]

@zongruger Failing a snatch behind you is actually a sign that you were very committed to getting it, moving fairly well and is not necessarily a bad thing. Don’t get me started on press outs but it’s CF what ya gonna do
