Transcript
- 0:29What is going on, everybody?
- 0:30Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
- 0:32Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
- 0:35We are here,
- 0:36and I am finally off the road
- 0:38for a while.
- 0:40Just got back from PA this afternoon.
- 0:42So glad to be able to jump
- 0:43on and be with you guys tonight.
- 0:45I'm celebrating my mom's
- 0:46eightieth birthday this weekend.
- 0:48It was so cool being able to
- 0:50do that with her.
- 0:51And I had some emotional
- 0:53times this weekend talking about my dad.
- 0:55And I'm going to talk about
- 0:56that this week on lunch
- 0:57with the Clydesdale.
- 0:59But it was really cool.
- 1:01So doing that, keeping it real.
- 1:04We are not on at the same time as seven.
- 1:06Savon Savon is on the same time as us.
- 1:09We'll hear every Sunday
- 1:10night at eight o'clock.
- 1:11This is locked in at eight o'clock.
- 1:14So as Kenneth DeLapp says,
- 1:16we are the original Sunday
- 1:18Night CrossFit Talk.
- 1:19I said that in the comments
- 1:20this morning when he was like, oh,
- 1:22come on.
- 1:22And he was asking when the
- 1:24leaderboard would come out.
- 1:26And I'm like, probably not at eight.
- 1:28Like,
- 1:28there's no reason to go live at eight.
- 1:29It's going to take.
- 1:30No, normally.
- 1:33Yeah.
- 1:34In the past, it closes.
- 1:35And then one hour later is when it goes.
- 1:39And then for the age group,
- 1:40I think because of all the
- 1:41videos that were on,
- 1:42I think that's what took so
- 1:43long for the age group.
- 1:44Yeah.
- 1:45Yeah.
- 1:46And I think the same thing
- 1:47is going to happen.
- 1:47You had to submit videos for this, right?
- 1:50Yes.
- 1:50Yeah.
- 1:51So it's going to be,
- 1:53it's going to be a couple hours probably,
- 1:55but we'll keep refreshing.
- 1:56If they pop up,
- 1:57we will pull it up as soon
- 1:58as it comes up in the chat.
- 2:01We have that on our rundown.
- 2:03I'm going to skip over that
- 2:04and do some other stuff,
- 2:06hoping it kind of comes up, but if not,
- 2:08we'll hit it in some way
- 2:10because these two ladies
- 2:11did at least some of the
- 2:13workouts this weekend.
- 2:15Oh, Jamie did all of them too.
- 2:17Carolyn did them all.
- 2:18We'll talk about that now
- 2:19that everything is locked
- 2:20and nobody can submit
- 2:21anything after this.
- 2:23But we'll talk about that
- 2:24later in the show.
- 2:26Did you guys have a good
- 2:27week going into the weekend?
- 2:28Carolyn,
- 2:29I know you have the pressure of
- 2:31trying to qualify in both
- 2:32the elites and the age groups.
- 2:35Were you able to sleep this week?
- 2:38actually a really busy week
- 2:39with like school um a lot
- 2:42of like I'm it's soccer
- 2:43season right now so I'm
- 2:44coaching soccer season
- 2:45after school um and like my
- 2:47students are like can we do
- 2:48more practices after school
- 2:49I'm like this is not the
- 2:50right time like I need to
- 2:52train so like I honestly
- 2:54like barely did any
- 2:55training this week leading
- 2:56up to the weekend and like
- 2:58I am sore now because I was like
- 3:01coaching soccer uh after
- 3:04school and I have tutoring
- 3:05that I do on Mondays which
- 3:06is normally like my rest
- 3:07day so it's been a busy
- 3:08week trying to do some
- 3:10catching up in the last
- 3:11couple hours of what I
- 3:13didn't do all week but yeah um
- 3:19Yeah,
- 3:20the only thing that really is
- 3:22lighting my heart on fire
- 3:23right now is my daughter
- 3:24has been calling us this weekend.
- 3:26Actually,
- 3:27not as much as she has been in the past.
- 3:29She is loving Montana.
- 3:30That's good.
- 3:31And she is loving her job.
- 3:33And as a parent,
- 3:35nothing warms your heart more than that.
- 3:38And it's so good to hear the
- 3:40joy in her voice when she calls.
- 3:43um it's been awesome it's
- 3:45been julie and I have been
- 3:47just glowing all weekend
- 3:48because of how much she
- 3:50loves it out there and uh
- 3:53so happy for her and hope
- 3:55that that continues to go
- 3:57she has kicked ass on her
- 3:59first week on the job um
- 4:01and is already being given
- 4:03projects so uh super stoked
- 4:06for that that's awesome
- 4:09Um, Jamie, you,
- 4:10you did the workouts this week.
- 4:11Why did,
- 4:12why did you jump in and do them all?
- 4:14Uh,
- 4:15train to live says it's because you're
- 4:16a beast.
- 4:18Um, I mean, I did,
- 4:19I guess last year was a
- 4:20little different since they
- 4:22combined them and you'd had,
- 4:23you were able to pay one fee and do them.
- 4:26I I've done them every year.
- 4:27I, you know, me,
- 4:29I like to think I'm twenty half the time.
- 4:31So why not?
- 4:32I didn't pay this time because I couldn't,
- 4:35which I almost hit one fifty five.
- 4:37I caught it like three times.
- 4:39um but once I knew they were
- 4:41doing uh heavy isabel it's
- 4:43just not worth paying the
- 4:44money like it's good like
- 4:46and I figured I could do
- 4:47good at like a couple of
- 4:48the workouts um but it's
- 4:51just not worth it but it's
- 4:52I told haley I would do the
- 4:53workouts with her so I went
- 4:55went to her parents gym and
- 4:57did the workouts with her
- 4:58um so I feel like I helped
- 5:01in that fashion a little
- 5:02bit pacer on some of them
- 5:04you did them with her every time
- 5:06So I did not that I did
- 5:09Isabel in the background
- 5:10while she was lifting fast,
- 5:11I was attempting.
- 5:12So that one didn't really matter so much.
- 5:14We did the ring muscle up one together.
- 5:17So she could pace off me and
- 5:18we did the burpee one together.
- 5:20So she could pace off me.
- 5:21I did the rope climb one.
- 5:24like an hour or two after
- 5:25the burpee one while she was still there.
- 5:28So she could watch me and
- 5:30get splits and have a Frank timeframe.
- 5:33I told her the lunge one was
- 5:35not going to matter.
- 5:37And it, it didn't not for like,
- 5:39she's not gonna want to go
- 5:39against me for that.
- 5:40So, um, I did that one today.
- 5:43She did that one yesterday
- 5:45and she did the rope climb today.
- 5:47I have to pull up some of these comments.
- 5:49I bet Carolyn and Jamie
- 5:50killed these workouts.
- 5:52Uh, both ladies are fire.
- 5:54Um, we have a question from Vi.
- 5:56Are your students aware how
- 5:57good you are at fitness racing?
- 6:00I think they know I work out.
- 6:01They see me work out sometimes, but like,
- 6:04I don't really talk
- 6:05CrossFit too much with them,
- 6:06to be honest.
- 6:08Um,
- 6:09I think they just see me as like a fit
- 6:11teacher.
- 6:12They know I do CrossFit.
- 6:13Um, but like they don't,
- 6:17I don't think that they
- 6:19knew I was competing this weekend.
- 6:20I took Friday off work.
- 6:22Um,
- 6:23which I don't have many days
- 6:24left to take off.
- 6:26I think I have three more
- 6:27days off that I can take that's paid.
- 6:32Yeah,
- 6:32I don't think that they knew that I
- 6:34have my competition this weekend.
- 6:36They'll randomly ask me if I'm missing.
- 6:41They're like, oh, are you competing?
- 6:43Are you doing something?
- 6:43I'll be like, yeah,
- 6:44I have a competition this
- 6:45weekend in this place or whatever,
- 6:47but I don't think that they
- 6:50grasp really what it is.
- 6:53Jason Bourne says they don't
- 6:54know you're a legend.
- 6:57Jamie,
- 6:58you're fitter than ninety percent of
- 6:59people I know in their
- 7:00twenties and trained to live.
- 7:02We love Carolyn and Jamie fire emoji.
- 7:05I mean,
- 7:06it's kind of like it's kind of like
- 7:07the general public, like family,
- 7:10even people in your own gym,
- 7:11like they don't truly grasp it.
- 7:14right I mean I I had a
- 7:16member today who comes she
- 7:18came to open gym and I was
- 7:19there getting ready kind of
- 7:20to do the um like lunge one
- 7:23and she kind of asked like
- 7:25she'll see posts like she
- 7:26saw I think she saw a post
- 7:27of haley and I that haley's
- 7:28mom had posted and was like
- 7:30you have another
- 7:31competition this weekend
- 7:32and I was like trying to
- 7:33you know it's hard to
- 7:34explain the season anymore
- 7:36to people I'm like well I
- 7:37already did age group kind
- 7:38of just doing this one for
- 7:39fun I don't even know that
- 7:41they quite understand what
- 7:43making this like getting
- 7:45past this round means like
- 7:46they don't even still
- 7:47really comprehend what the
- 7:48crossfit games is so I just
- 7:49say world championships
- 7:51like to go to world
- 7:52championships because like
- 7:53crossfit games I don't
- 7:54think means too much
- 7:56somebody you say world
- 7:57championship of any sport
- 7:58and they're like oh that's big yeah so
- 8:02Yeah, I actually,
- 8:03my seller that I met with
- 8:05the other weekend kind of
- 8:07talked to him about if I
- 8:09was free this weekend or
- 8:10not and was trying to explain this.
- 8:11And he knows that I'm good
- 8:13in the age group.
- 8:14And when I was showing him
- 8:16the leaderboard of the age group,
- 8:17he was like, oh, he's like,
- 8:18there's an app for this.
- 8:20And I was showing him the flags.
- 8:21He's like, this is worldwide.
- 8:22He's like, holy cow.
- 8:24Like,
- 8:24I think he just thought it was United
- 8:26States.
- 8:27And, you know, I'm like, no,
- 8:29it's worldwide.
- 8:31I'm trying to live.
- 8:31These kids need to get
- 8:32educated on their teacher.
- 8:35And then Denise asked Carolyn,
- 8:37are you off the whole summer then?
- 8:38Uh, so my last day of work,
- 8:41I think is the end of June.
- 8:43Um,
- 8:43so our summers for us is July and August.
- 8:47I normally have to come back
- 8:48like the last week of August before, um,
- 8:51like labor day weekend.
- 8:54And we normally have a
- 8:55couple of days prior to that,
- 8:56that are like, um,
- 8:58PD days where we just kind
- 9:00of set up the classroom,
- 9:02have meetings and stuff
- 9:03like that without the
- 9:04students being there.
- 9:04And then we always start the
- 9:05Tuesday after Labor Day.
- 9:10These kids are going to learn today.
- 9:14It's funny because I think
- 9:17it's hard to we are so
- 9:19ingrained and grossed into
- 9:20this thing that is CrossFit and fitness.
- 9:24And then you go outside this
- 9:25bubble and nobody has really a clue.
- 9:28right and um it's it's got
- 9:33to be hard because it's in
- 9:35you in the bubble you're
- 9:36famous outside the bubble
- 9:38nobody knows your name you
- 9:40know it's it's it's kind of
- 9:42funny that way I find it
- 9:44funny um but anyway
- 9:48like I can walk through water Palooza.
- 9:50I'm not even an athlete and
- 9:51people know who I am at water Palooza,
- 9:54but I walk,
- 9:55I walk down the streets of
- 9:57Lewis center where I live
- 9:58and nobody has a clue.
- 10:01So anyway, um,
- 10:05we'll keep refreshing the leaderboard,
- 10:07like I said, um,
- 10:09but we'll hit some other
- 10:09news up till then.
- 10:10And there was news just a
- 10:11couple hours ago that Katrin, um,
- 10:15is with child and it looks
- 10:18like she's due this fall.
- 10:20So they've been keeping that under wraps,
- 10:22but she is doing the
- 10:23broadcast this weekend with
- 10:26world fitness project.
- 10:27So I'm assuming better get
- 10:29the news out now than just
- 10:30show up on camera this weekend.
- 10:35and do that but congrats to
- 10:37her and Brooks they are
- 10:39with child and I think when
- 10:41she retired you could see
- 10:44this coming like oh yeah
- 10:46her best friend is Annie
- 10:47Annie's on her second child
- 10:48you know yeah any friend
- 10:50group that moves through
- 10:51those ages like everybody
- 10:54starts having the kids at
- 10:54the same time everybody
- 10:55gets married at the same
- 10:56time all those things and
- 10:58and you saw that kind of happening so
- 11:01congrats to those two for
- 11:03that and I'm sure she'll
- 11:05have a few things to say
- 11:06this weekend on the
- 11:07broadcast for sure um we'll
- 11:11skip over indie semis for
- 11:13now uh castro's week in
- 11:14review there was a couple
- 11:15things I wanted to bring up
- 11:16to you guys um he uh said
- 11:21that there's going to be no
- 11:22cuts at the games this year
- 11:24Oh,
- 11:24time already cut to thirty thirty
- 11:26athletes.
- 11:27They have more time because
- 11:28there's less heats and
- 11:30there's no need for the cuts.
- 11:34Thoughts?
- 11:35I mean,
- 11:36that's I've never been a fan of the
- 11:37right.
- 11:38Like,
- 11:41I think that the whole if this is the
- 11:44test,
- 11:44the whole group takes the test and
- 11:46every test is worth the
- 11:47same amount and every test
- 11:49is important for the like.
- 11:52overall placement I think
- 11:54whenever you um have cuts
- 11:58you know the later workouts
- 11:59mean more all of a sudden
- 12:00than the earlier ones and
- 12:02you could have done better
- 12:03at those ones and I know
- 12:04people are like oh you
- 12:05should have earned your way
- 12:06there and it's like no they
- 12:06did earn their way there
- 12:07already so like I think I
- 12:09just feel like everyone
- 12:10should take every single test
- 12:13It's like a decathlon that
- 12:14you cut after seven events.
- 12:16Like it just, it makes no sense to me.
- 12:18It will never,
- 12:18it will never make sense to me.
- 12:19And I tried to tell Dave to
- 12:21his face the one year and
- 12:23he was just like, no.
- 12:24And I was like, okay,
- 12:24but it makes no sense.
- 12:27Yeah, I agree.
- 12:30Um,
- 12:30he also said that the comment section
- 12:34will be added to the public review, uh,
- 12:38in order for you to give a
- 12:38thumbs up or thumbs down,
- 12:39you have to leave a comment.
- 12:41Now it was unclear whether
- 12:43that's going to happen
- 12:43immediately this week for Indies,
- 12:46or if that's going to be
- 12:47for the twenty six season.
- 12:49He did not say specifically,
- 12:50but I'm hopeful that when
- 12:52we see the leaderboard board pop up,
- 12:54we see a comment section.
- 12:56this week for the thumbs up, thumbs down.
- 12:59I think that will make it
- 13:00more useful for CrossFit.
- 13:03Your thoughts?
- 13:05Oh,
- 13:05you absolutely should have a reasoning
- 13:08behind what you clicked.
- 13:10Prove that you watched it at
- 13:12least like have,
- 13:13have something to back up
- 13:14your thumbs up or thumbs down.
- 13:16I had heard that there was,
- 13:18you could only watch the video once,
- 13:20like you weren't going to
- 13:20be able to click it again.
- 13:23Like they do in their courses.
- 13:24No, they don't do that in their courses.
- 13:25No, they don't.
- 13:28But I think they're,
- 13:29they're probably limited by
- 13:31the rules of YouTube.
- 13:32I would think so too.
- 13:33In some, in some respects.
- 13:35So yeah.
- 13:40Uh,
- 13:40and the last thing I wanted to bring
- 13:41forward with this is, um,
- 13:44CrossFit may be partnering
- 13:46with Ruck Race USA.
- 13:48Dave actually was talking
- 13:49about he had participated
- 13:50in their race last weekend,
- 13:53and they're looking at
- 13:54partnering with them to
- 13:55have their finals at the
- 13:56CrossFit Games at the same time,
- 13:59which I thought, hey, that's really cool.
- 14:01And then it came out that
- 14:04the CrossFit Occupational
- 14:05Games and Everyday Heroes
- 14:07for Mayhem are now
- 14:08partnering up to make one
- 14:10competition for...
- 14:14um for the occupations like
- 14:16firefighters educators
- 14:18medical professionals um
- 14:20with an in-person finale my
- 14:26first question to you is
- 14:28we've never seen crossfit
- 14:29do this much much
- 14:30partnering with other
- 14:32people for things they're
- 14:34involved in do you think
- 14:36that's a good step forward
- 14:40I mean,
- 14:40it probably helps money-wise to
- 14:42partner with anyone, I'm assuming.
- 14:45Last time the Mayhem group did,
- 14:48you partnered up with a
- 14:50fellow educator and the top
- 14:53firefighters were partnering up.
- 14:56I wonder what the information will be for,
- 15:00what the format will be, sorry.
- 15:02Yeah,
- 15:02nothing released on the format of the
- 15:05finale at this point.
- 15:07Because the CrossFit
- 15:09occupational games awarded
- 15:11one person the champion of
- 15:14that occupation.
- 15:16Mayhem actually had a
- 15:17competition where they
- 15:19combined people into teams,
- 15:21and then the firefighters
- 15:22took on the police,
- 15:23who took on the medical,
- 15:24who took on the educators, and so on.
- 15:27So...
- 15:28I like, I like that idea,
- 15:30but you're not going to get
- 15:31any top person like from
- 15:33Europe or Australia from
- 15:35their occupation travel
- 15:37most likely for that.
- 15:38Yeah.
- 15:40So it just becomes really like a,
- 15:43a us centric type competition.
- 15:46A little bit of breaking news here.
- 15:48Blair letting Leadingham
- 15:49just got the email on the judging.
- 15:51It says judge must provide
- 15:53comment explaining their vote.
- 15:57Excellent.
- 15:57That's a great,
- 15:58mean I'm glad they listened
- 16:03the comments and the
- 16:04judge's name will be
- 16:05visible to the internal
- 16:06review committee only so it
- 16:08looks like it's live for
- 16:09this go-round that's a step
- 16:13that's a step I I feel like
- 16:16just like the video needs
- 16:17to be public your opinion
- 16:20should be public like
- 16:23So the comments that you
- 16:25leave are only seen by the
- 16:28internal review team.
- 16:29Yeah, not even the athlete,
- 16:31which is a little frustrating.
- 16:33I would like to know what
- 16:34people were looking at.
- 16:36Denise just got that email too.
- 16:41But at least it doesn't
- 16:43allow you just to hit a
- 16:44thumbs up and thumbs down
- 16:45without watching the video.
- 16:47Yeah, that's important.
- 16:50And that's a huge step.
- 16:52it may be just a first step
- 16:54but that is a huge step and
- 16:56it will help crossfit sort
- 16:58out what needs more review
- 17:00and what doesn't in a
- 17:02better way in my opinion
- 17:06yeah I think this should
- 17:07lighten their load a little
- 17:08bit so um back on the
- 17:11occupational games carolyn
- 17:13you've won those before so
- 17:15like do you do you like an
- 17:18in-person final or
- 17:22Like I did them before
- 17:24because there was going to
- 17:25be like prizes on the line.
- 17:26So like last year I did it
- 17:28because I got my a level
- 17:30two code and my level two
- 17:32was going to expire soon.
- 17:35So that was one of the
- 17:36reasons I did it was to try
- 17:37to get a code so that I
- 17:39could renew my level two,
- 17:40which I did the year prior.
- 17:42They had said that there was
- 17:43going to be some prizes.
- 17:45Well, I just figured that they were,
- 17:46that there would be some
- 17:47prizes like games tickets
- 17:49or something like that.
- 17:51And then they never ended up
- 17:53giving any prizes.
- 17:54And then we paid like fifty
- 17:55bucks for no reason.
- 17:56I was like, oh,
- 17:57this was dumb because I
- 17:58didn't really care to for that.
- 18:01Well, more breaking news.
- 18:02The men's leaderboard is live.
- 18:05Women's women's.
- 18:07OK,
- 18:07I. I will go ahead and share the men's.
- 18:10I have it up now.
- 18:13And we will see who are the top eleven.
- 18:16So right now, as we,
- 18:18this is all unofficial and
- 18:20is ready for review, but as you can see,
- 18:22all the videos are up.
- 18:24Jeff Adler.
- 18:25Jay Crouch, Dallin Pepper, James Sprague,
- 18:29Tudor Magda, Jason Hopper, Ricky Garrard,
- 18:32Justin Medeiros, Enrico Zanoni,
- 18:36Colin Boshard, Harry Lightfoot.
- 18:39Those are your eleven.
- 18:40And again,
- 18:41Yonikoski sits one spot out of a
- 18:45qualifying position two weeks in a row.
- 18:49Just outside looking in, we have Yonikoski,
- 18:52Chris Ibarra,
- 18:54Tom Kingdon, Jack Rosema, Sam Kwan,
- 18:57Sam Cornway, Nick Matthew, William Leahy,
- 19:00the fourth and Benoit
- 19:02Boulanger and Jorge Fernandez, BKG,
- 19:08Spencer Pancheck, Sestoval.
- 19:10There are some names.
- 19:12Bailey Martin at twenty nine.
- 19:17Travis Mayer, thirty two.
- 19:20Ty Jenkins, Jake Douglas, Luke Parker.
- 19:30There's my coach, Alexander Majors.
- 19:32Took forty ninth.
- 19:37All right.
- 19:38So that's on the men's side.
- 19:40We'll take a pause.
- 19:40We'll go to the women's side
- 19:42and then we'll get reaction.
- 19:47Ariel Lowen, Saria Maha.
- 19:51Yeah.
- 19:51Who is that?
- 19:53Alexis Raptus, Olivia Kerstetter,
- 19:55Annika Greer, Carolyn Stanley,
- 19:57Brooke Wells, Maddie Sturt,
- 19:59Danielle Brandon, Haley Adams,
- 20:01Amy Kringle, Grace Walton, Kyra Milligan,
- 20:04Mira Von Rohrer, Lucy McGonigal,
- 20:06Jennifer Muir, Sydney McElishan,
- 20:10Elsie Larson.
- 20:12And so there you see your
- 20:14top twenty ish women.
- 20:19And of course the big
- 20:20question right off the bat is Syria.
- 20:23Yeah.
- 20:23I don't, what is that flag from Albania?
- 20:32Oh,
- 20:34that's where Brian friend's been
- 20:36talking about.
- 20:44So let's talk about, um,
- 20:52Let's talk about the workouts.
- 20:57Do you think they were good workouts to,
- 20:59for the test?
- 21:03Yeah.
- 21:03I mean, I think,
- 21:04I think they were good tests.
- 21:06I think it was a little, I mean,
- 21:08I personally think it was a little heavy.
- 21:10I think the dump double
- 21:12dumbbell as well as heavy
- 21:14Isabel in there skews it to
- 21:17the stronger athletes, but.
- 21:22there was some really good fit.
- 21:23Like,
- 21:23I think the ring muscle bone was
- 21:24really good fitness.
- 21:26I think the burpee one was
- 21:28good power output and recoverability.
- 21:31Um, and the rope climb one is just, yeah.
- 21:35Do you want to,
- 21:36do you want to push hard
- 21:36for thirty minutes?
- 21:40Do you think, how did it,
- 21:41how do you think it came out with
- 21:45I'd say about... I mean,
- 21:47other than this girl in
- 21:49second that I have no idea who she is.
- 21:51These are... I would say I
- 21:54think nine or ten of these
- 21:55are the names I had in my heat one.
- 21:59I mean,
- 22:00you knew Olivia Kerstetter was
- 22:02going to have a great shot here.
- 22:04I figured these would go well for Annika.
- 22:06Um...
- 22:11three Oh five for Olivia on
- 22:13that snatch one.
- 22:13Damn.
- 22:16That's insane.
- 22:16That is insane.
- 22:17That's just good.
- 22:19Sherry says three Oh five on Isabel.
- 22:21Wow.
- 22:23Uh, Lynn, our European correspondent, uh,
- 22:26Syria is far East throwdown
- 22:28champion and come to think of it,
- 22:30the workout suit her perfectly.
- 22:32None of her weaknesses were tested.
- 22:34What are her weaknesses?
- 22:37So she's strong, uh,
- 22:40Is she like a Laura?
- 22:48I mean, like I said,
- 22:49you see Olivia was first in
- 22:51the lunge and the snatch.
- 22:55Did we need two workouts
- 22:56like that that are going to
- 22:57push the same person up?
- 23:04Yeah, you look at those scores,
- 23:05they're all pretty close to
- 23:06what they finish on each workout.
- 23:08I mean, those girls are good overall,
- 23:10but like first, first, seventh, fourth,
- 23:13eighth, tenth.
- 23:14So they're similar finishes maybe there.
- 23:21Craig Tudor made it so far.
- 23:24He's got to survive the...
- 23:27she's strong almost laura
- 23:29strong but handstand
- 23:29push-ups kill her okay so
- 23:31she's like a laura got it
- 23:33and run running it too is
- 23:34her weakness oh yeah craig
- 23:39we'll get to the men but
- 23:41tudor has been the victim
- 23:42of extra review more than a
- 23:46few times right so we got to see that um
- 23:55do you have any comment
- 23:56Carolyn about where you're
- 23:58at as opposed to these
- 23:59athletes in these times?
- 24:02I knew that my two weakest
- 24:04ones or the strength ones,
- 24:06like the overhead lunges,
- 24:08like that position is so hard for me.
- 24:13Um, I have horrible overhead mobility, um,
- 24:16especially with the double dumbbells.
- 24:17Like I really,
- 24:18really struggled there and I knew it was,
- 24:20I was going to take a hit there.
- 24:22Um, Isabel, I was like,
- 24:25I was happy with my score.
- 24:26Like I'm not like the
- 24:28strongest for snatches.
- 24:30Um,
- 24:32there's just such strong athletes there,
- 24:34I guess with that, um, with that weight,
- 24:38but I'm happy with like my
- 24:39burpee one with my ring
- 24:41muscle up on the rope climb one was,
- 24:44was okay, which is what I thought.
- 24:46But yeah,
- 24:46I definitely took a hit like a
- 24:48huge hit on that.
- 24:49Um, double dumbbell overhead lunge.
- 24:55Yeah.
- 24:57I was hoping to be closer to
- 24:58the top twenty.
- 24:59So further back than I thought.
- 25:02But people are fit.
- 25:03And there's a lot of big names like down.
- 25:06Look at Paige Semenza, forty eighth.
- 25:08I know I was scrolling on there.
- 25:11Sydney Wells, forty third.
- 25:13Yeah,
- 25:14I figured she wouldn't really have a
- 25:16show.
- 25:19Rebecca Fuseli, Bethany Flores.
- 25:22I mean,
- 25:23we know the strength is going to
- 25:24hurt her.
- 25:27Am I missing her?
- 25:28Where did I, where did I, was she at?
- 25:31She's fifty second.
- 25:32You're probably not down that far yet.
- 25:34Yeah, it stops at fifty for me.
- 25:36Oh.
- 25:38Sarah, Daisy.
- 25:40Trista Smith.
- 25:42I'm shocked Trista Smith is in sixty-six,
- 25:44to be quite honest.
- 25:46Wow.
- 25:46All right, I'll go to the next page.
- 25:52Dana Peran,
- 25:53she's super strong and didn't help her.
- 25:57Yeah, I almost feel like.
- 25:59In the top eight, is that,
- 26:03would she be happy or sad with that?
- 26:07I think she's got to be happy with that.
- 26:11Allie Zerke, Seventy-Seventh.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:18Trista Smith, there it is.
- 26:21Elena buds.
- 26:28I Bethany floors.
- 26:32was it Isabel?
- 26:36Maybe the back squats.
- 26:38Workout one was and workout
- 26:41three was a Yeah, so Isabel and Isabel.
- 26:51All right.
- 26:54I mean, there's a few surprises there,
- 26:56of course.
- 27:03I'm really tired of Isabel.
- 27:04Can I just say?
- 27:06You and me both.
- 27:07I am over Isabel for now.
- 27:10It's cool that Olivia did a
- 27:12three or five or whatever it is.
- 27:14And that's really cool.
- 27:15And Jeff Adler broke the
- 27:17men's record for that.
- 27:19That's cool.
- 27:20It's cool to see that Jeff
- 27:21Adler still fit.
- 27:24But I'm really tired of Isabel.
- 27:26Totally.
- 27:30I think I'm surprised Olivia in fourth.
- 27:35I thought she might qualify,
- 27:36but I wasn't sure she would
- 27:37qualify this high.
- 27:39caroline stanley had a
- 27:40really good performance
- 27:42nobody ever talks about her
- 27:43I know she's like two
- 27:45consecutive games
- 27:46appearances and a sixth
- 27:48place finish um I wasn't
- 27:53sure haley adams would make
- 27:54it in on this these are
- 27:57great events for her
- 28:00She's got amazing overhead
- 28:01mobility with the GHDs.
- 28:03She's amazing at Isabel.
- 28:05Like she did really well over there,
- 28:07Isabel.
- 28:07She's got great ring muscle up,
- 28:09great rope climb, toes to bar stuff.
- 28:11Like there was nothing bad for Haley here.
- 28:14Maybe just the back squat weight.
- 28:17And that was it.
- 28:18Everything else was right
- 28:19down the fairway for her.
- 28:21Oh,
- 28:21I didn't think that back squat weight
- 28:23would affect her at all.
- 28:24She's like,
- 28:25I feel like none of these were
- 28:26bad for her.
- 28:27Yeah.
- 28:27Yeah.
- 28:28I'm not surprised there at all.
- 28:31Craig, Craig Paul Pasley says,
- 28:34is Gracie or Amy going?
- 28:35They're tied at ninety four points.
- 28:37What's going to happen is
- 28:38you're going to have a week
- 28:39of video review.
- 28:40That video review is
- 28:41probably going to move
- 28:42people up and down the leaderboard,
- 28:43which then will change the
- 28:45points earned in different workouts.
- 28:47And if at the end of the week,
- 28:48there's still a tie at the
- 28:50eleventh position,
- 28:52then we have to figure out who's going.
- 28:54But and then are some of
- 28:55these athletes also going
- 28:57to be going to like, let's say, Texas,
- 28:59like Olivia was supposed to go to Texas,
- 29:01right?
- 29:03Right.
- 29:03Is she still going to do that?
- 29:05But yeah.
- 29:05Yeah.
- 29:05Sorry.
- 29:08What is it?
- 29:08TFX?
- 29:09TFX is going to be in Oklahoma.
- 29:11Okay.
- 29:11Yeah.
- 29:12Throwdown.
- 29:15Both of those happen.
- 29:17If someone qualifies from
- 29:18either one of those events,
- 29:19they will be backfilled on
- 29:21this leaderboard.
- 29:24So those athletes that are
- 29:26in those positions,
- 29:28they have to be sure about
- 29:29their own videos.
- 29:30If they're sure about their own videos,
- 29:32then they don't need to compete.
- 29:35And then if they're not sure,
- 29:37because if you skip your
- 29:39comp thinking you're in and
- 29:41then you get a penalty,
- 29:42then you just screwed yourself over too.
- 29:45So Sherry, just to clarify,
- 29:47there is no tenth because
- 29:48there's two ninths.
- 29:49Correct.
- 29:51So there are ten through the ninth.
- 29:58Whenever there's a tie,
- 29:59you skip the next number so
- 30:02that the numbering still makes sense.
- 30:04When is TFX?
- 30:07Two weeks.
- 30:09French Throwdown this weekend,
- 30:11TFX the following weekend.
- 30:13And this leaderboard gets backfilled.
- 30:17They're going off of the seventeenth.
- 30:18Was that the date?
- 30:19Because this leaderboard
- 30:21won't finalize until the twenty third,
- 30:24twenty first, twenty third,
- 30:25somewhere in there.
- 30:27This will be the last
- 30:28leaderboard to finalize
- 30:30between the French TFX and this.
- 30:33So the other two events fill their spots.
- 30:36And then if you end up in
- 30:38the top eleven in this
- 30:41after those events and
- 30:42you've earned a spot at those,
- 30:44this leaderboard gets backfilled.
- 30:47And CrossFit put something
- 30:48out about that like a week ago.
- 30:52I don't know.
- 30:54I'd have to look at Olivia's videos,
- 30:56but I would think she's probably safe.
- 31:00I feel like Olivia likes to
- 31:01compete and get the experience.
- 31:03I think she'll still go to TFX.
- 31:03Yeah, we'll see.
- 31:07Which could help somebody
- 31:09here on this leaderboard.
- 31:13I don't think both go.
- 31:14No way.
- 31:17Because there are ten people
- 31:20up haley adams is the tenth
- 31:21person even though she's in
- 31:22ninth right but they're
- 31:24taking eleven gringo is
- 31:25eleven right walton is
- 31:27twelve so only one of amy
- 31:31and grace would go and
- 31:34right now I'm guessing it
- 31:36would be it's probably the
- 31:38order they haven't because
- 31:39she had a fifth place
- 31:40finish right whoever has
- 31:41the higher finish the highest right
- 31:45Oh, she had a second.
- 31:47Pringle actually had a second.
- 31:48That's why she's listed ahead.
- 31:52Yeah.
- 31:52So that's how it would go.
- 31:56Let's go back to the men.
- 31:59Um,
- 32:00I didn't really see any surprises here
- 32:02other than maybe Enrico Zanoni.
- 32:04Yup.
- 32:06Uh, in the top, um,
- 32:09Jeff Adler,
- 32:10we haven't seen him compete in a while.
- 32:12I guess he's still pretty strong.
- 32:13Look how good his scores are across.
- 32:15Like, that's crazy.
- 32:21Yeah, first, sixth, first, second,
- 32:25and third.
- 32:27Yeah,
- 32:27I think that shows he's still pretty fit.
- 32:33Jay Crouch second was a
- 32:35little bit of a surprise.
- 32:36I know he's been improving every year.
- 32:39He just made the... He's
- 32:42still making jumps.
- 32:47Yeah.
- 32:49And as we said,
- 32:49Tudor Magda always seems to qualify well.
- 32:52You just kind of have to
- 32:53wait for video review with him.
- 32:55And I don't think there's...
- 32:58Other than Zanoni,
- 32:59I don't think there's a big...
- 33:03Boshard and Lightfoot are
- 33:04always kind of on that
- 33:05borderline in Europe.
- 33:08Yeah,
- 33:10I picked Boshard on my Heat One app
- 33:11to make it.
- 33:13I thought he had a good shot with these.
- 33:17Yeah, so just outside,
- 33:19any surprises just outside?
- 33:21I actually picked Quant to qualify,
- 33:24and he is yet to do that.
- 33:29I picked Cornway as a sleeper,
- 33:31but there are actually
- 33:31three people tied at Fifteenth.
- 33:38Any other surprises?
- 33:39BKG?
- 33:39Yeah, that's getting nothing guys.
- 33:50Nothing surprised you.
- 33:51This is nothing.
- 33:52No shock at the top.
- 33:54I think there's no shock there.
- 33:55It's like, that's about what you expected.
- 33:58How it to shake out.
- 34:01Yeah.
- 34:01Lightfoot maybe like the last three.
- 34:09A lot more North America, that's for sure.
- 34:13On both sides of the
- 34:14leaderboard quite a bit.
- 34:18Hey, Ben Smith was sixty-fifth.
- 34:20That's pretty good.
- 34:21It is pretty good.
- 34:30I think we'll see lots of
- 34:31moving around though in the
- 34:32next few days.
- 34:32I do too.
- 34:33Did you see Hiller's,
- 34:35I think it was Ibarra's GHD workout?
- 34:39No, I haven't seen that yet.
- 34:41The hips up, of course.
- 34:42Oh, way up.
- 34:43He goes and sits on it and scoots way in.
- 34:48I just don't understand people.
- 34:54People are always going to
- 34:55find the easiest.
- 34:57Well, I mean, CrossFit needs to...
- 35:03hold the standard on that
- 35:04one can't say well I sat in
- 35:06it here and then I slipped
- 35:07forward or I set the pad
- 35:10further further out so that
- 35:12you can't do that um lynn
- 35:17says I really wanted uh
- 35:19bailey to make it but he
- 35:20should make torian the
- 35:24pressure now goes up yeah like it's
- 35:30Cause everything's in person.
- 35:31There's only two spots, um,
- 35:34at most of these events.
- 35:36Um, yeah, I,
- 35:41I'm kind of surprised worries
- 35:43up that high.
- 35:44Although again, he's so strong that,
- 35:48and I feel like there was a
- 35:51premium placed on that.
- 35:52Um,
- 35:53I thought Sestoval would be a little
- 35:54higher than.
- 35:55Thought he thought he'd be
- 35:57just sitting out maybe.
- 36:02Denise is asking,
- 36:03isn't the standard fully
- 36:04explained for the GHD?
- 36:05You'd think so by now.
- 36:08It's clear.
- 36:09It's a clear picture.
- 36:11I mean,
- 36:11I think enough people have brought
- 36:12it up that,
- 36:13and he's over at Proven doing it.
- 36:16Like,
- 36:17I can't believe that they aren't making,
- 36:20I mean, they got to watch that stuff.
- 36:22Yeah.
- 36:26Yeah.
- 36:29What has to happen is people
- 36:30need to get penalized.
- 36:31Yes.
- 36:32Hit them hard or getting penalized.
- 36:34People will stop doing it.
- 36:36Yup.
- 36:38And that's in the, in the NFL,
- 36:42you describe what holding
- 36:43is and people hold on every
- 36:44single play until they get called for it.
- 36:47Right.
- 36:48That's just what happens.
- 36:51Um, is BKG, or .
- 36:58I think he's thirty five now.
- 36:59I think he is in the.
- 37:01Masters, I think.
- 37:05I don't remember seeing this name.
- 37:06Yeah, I don't think so.
- 37:08I don't think he's masters.
- 37:10Yeah.
- 37:13Well,
- 37:13you can click on his thing and get
- 37:15his profile, right?
- 37:17Doesn't that bring it up?
- 37:22He is thirty two.
- 37:23Oh, geez.
- 37:24You guys are calling him old.
- 37:25He's only thirty two.
- 37:27He's just been around for way too long.
- 37:32I mean,
- 37:32you think he's at least Ben Smith's age,
- 37:34right?
- 37:36How old's Ben?
- 37:37I don't know.
- 37:38Probably only thirty two or three.
- 37:41I think he's forty.
- 37:43Ben's sixty sixth.
- 37:45Yeah.
- 37:48There is no sixty fifth.
- 37:51Uh, well, everything here is unofficial.
- 38:06Yeah.
- 38:07Um, until it'll be interesting.
- 38:10It'll be interesting to see
- 38:11if they go hard on one workout,
- 38:13like they've done in the
- 38:14past and like which one
- 38:15they're going to go hard on.
- 38:20Or if they're going to
- 38:21actually review a lot more.
- 38:24I mean,
- 38:24I think it's going to be up to the
- 38:25public kind of again.
- 38:35I'm kind of like I sorted the one workout,
- 38:37like the one workout,
- 38:38the burpee one and one girl
- 38:39has like eighty eight reps,
- 38:40which I think is impossible.
- 38:41What?
- 38:45I bet you she did ten shuttles.
- 38:49Or she counted off.
- 38:51I haven't even looked at the video yet.
- 38:52I'm just sorting per workout
- 38:54to see if anything stands out.
- 38:57I really wouldn't be surprised if she did.
- 38:58Is she not US?
- 39:00I wouldn't be surprised if
- 39:00she did five shuttles.
- 39:01Just ten lengths.
- 39:03I feel like that happens in
- 39:04some of the other countries.
- 39:08I don't know what they're reading.
- 39:14Yeah, there's no way.
- 39:15It's not possible.
- 39:28Right.
- 39:28Help and SEDS right there.
- 39:29This is similar to age groups.
- 39:30It's not based on HQ.
- 39:32It's based on votes of public review,
- 39:35which just seemed to be how
- 39:36they did it for masters.
- 39:38You got an overwhelming
- 39:39number of ups or downs.
- 39:43is up to hq because they
- 39:44have to determine what how
- 39:45many ups or downs it takes
- 39:49and we don't know that
- 39:49number correct so and those
- 39:55numbers are probably going
- 39:56to be reduced now that you
- 39:57have to leave a comment
- 39:58right this is a lot less
- 40:07videos to review though if
- 40:08you think about it I mean
- 40:11most people willing to do
- 40:12this can probably over the
- 40:15next couple weeks well what
- 40:16we got do we have one week
- 40:17to do this as public so I
- 40:20mean I would think the
- 40:26problem is I feel like a
- 40:27lot of people are going to
- 40:27look at like the top five
- 40:29for something and just look
- 40:30at all the videos of the
- 40:31top five both sides
- 40:33I think the top eleven.
- 40:34That's not that many to look at.
- 40:37It's not,
- 40:37but it's the thirty minute workout.
- 40:40Who's watching all that of
- 40:41everyone's workout?
- 40:42I think you fast forward through the rope,
- 40:43but then after that you
- 40:44look at the reps and it's yeah,
- 40:47you should be able to make
- 40:48a judgment on that one pretty quickly.
- 40:49Yeah.
- 40:51Yeah.
- 40:51I mean,
- 40:52I just mean they're not picking one
- 40:54of the five as they did in
- 40:55quarterfinals last year.
- 40:57Right.
- 40:57Which I think is good
- 40:58because that was lame anyway.
- 41:02Yeah, agreed.
- 41:06All right.
- 41:07I think Jeff's scores are very impressive.
- 41:09They're very impressive.
- 41:11All around,
- 41:11like he's... Thirteen points in
- 41:14a semifinal?
- 41:15That's insane.
- 41:21He must be coming for it.
- 41:23I'm glad James got fourth.
- 41:26Sherry says,
- 41:27three of five to three
- 41:28forty-eight women's side,
- 41:29first and second on heavy as well.
- 41:31Olivia's special.
- 41:35Yeah.
- 41:35It's can she go from being a
- 41:36specialist to being special?
- 41:41That's the key.
- 41:42Because we've always known
- 41:44that Olivia can throw
- 41:45around weight and do it fast.
- 41:51And she's terrific on her hands.
- 41:53It's can she translate those
- 41:57specialist things into
- 41:59being overall special?
- 42:01Right.
- 42:03she's young she has a lot of
- 42:04time to work on all of it
- 42:18uh judge lana says she'll
- 42:20start at twentieth and move
- 42:21up the leaderboard yeah
- 42:22that's a good idea all
- 42:27right anything else we want
- 42:30to talk about with
- 42:32Um, we,
- 42:33it was announced before semifinals that,
- 42:35um,
- 42:35had a Kenya injured a shoulder needed
- 42:38an MRI.
- 42:39She was unable to participate.
- 42:41In addition, Emily Rolfe and Alex,
- 42:44Alex Kazan did not participate.
- 42:47Um, as I said on the Friday show,
- 42:48I can see the Emily Rolfe
- 42:49thing with the strength
- 42:51events that that was going
- 42:52to be a hard hill for her
- 42:53to climb with a much larger leaderboard.
- 42:57If she fell back too far on Isabel, um,
- 43:01But I didn't understand the
- 43:02Gazan thing unless she's
- 43:03still fighting whatever
- 43:04injury Justin Kotler talked
- 43:06about earlier in the season.
- 43:12Like is she competing at WFP?
- 43:15I don't know.
- 43:18She has not announced a
- 43:19withdrawal from that.
- 43:23um so I guess we'll wait and
- 43:27see and we'll talk more
- 43:28about wfp later in the show
- 43:31um so yeah so those three
- 43:34on the women's side were
- 43:35out going into this um and
- 43:39we'll see what happens um
- 43:42emily has tfx and norcal
- 43:45and according to what
- 43:46kotler said kazan's putting
- 43:49all of her eggs in the norcal basket
- 43:53That's a lot.
- 43:57That is a lot.
- 43:59There's gonna be some good
- 44:00competition there.
- 44:07Yeah.
- 44:09Ah,
- 44:10that nor the Norco is going to be loaded.
- 44:12I think NorCal is gonna be
- 44:13way more loaded than syndicate.
- 44:16Because you just look at how
- 44:17many from the East just call like,
- 44:19unofficially.
- 44:21I have spots here.
- 44:22Yeah.
- 44:23I don't know.
- 44:24Like you just took out Haley, Dingell,
- 44:28Brooke, Stanley, Greer, Raptors.
- 44:32Like that's all East right there.
- 44:34Right.
- 44:35And then Kyra is the next person up.
- 44:37Like if there's penalty also East,
- 44:40like get rid of all of those.
- 44:44And then it's completely open.
- 44:49The East is dead.
- 44:50It is just like the teams.
- 44:53It was overwhelmingly East.
- 44:56Do any other semis open up
- 44:57to athletes that are now
- 44:58looking for more ways?
- 45:02It's the wild West dude.
- 45:04Anything can happen at this point, right?
- 45:10Yes.
- 45:11Lynn syndicate said they
- 45:12were only inviting East and
- 45:15TFX is only inviting West.
- 45:18Now, West was less hit.
- 45:25Kerstetter's West.
- 45:27Was Ariel going to do TFX as well?
- 45:31Yeah, she was signed up for TFX.
- 45:37So Ariel's out on that.
- 45:38You have Kerstetter out.
- 45:42And then that's it.
- 45:44They only lost two people in the West.
- 45:51That's why I hate this regionality thing.
- 45:54I don't like that Syndicate
- 45:56and TFX did that because
- 45:59look at this leaderboard.
- 46:01And we can go to the men's
- 46:02and it's going to be the same.
- 46:04Half of the people that
- 46:05qualified are from the East.
- 46:07Right.
- 46:10Oh, yeah.
- 46:10Domet's out on the West too,
- 46:12but that's still only three athletes.
- 46:15The East alone has...
- 46:18Raptus and Greer and Stanley
- 46:20and Wells and Brandon and Adams.
- 46:25And then you go to the men's side,
- 46:26it's Adler, Pepper, Hopper.
- 46:38I also feel like if you
- 46:39didn't post a score for
- 46:40every single one of your things,
- 46:43you shouldn't affect the
- 46:45leaderboard on other events.
- 46:49Like there's some people
- 46:50that didn't post a score
- 46:51for every single thingy,
- 46:53like every single event,
- 46:54but then they can affect
- 46:55the leaderboard at different places.
- 46:56Like, I think, well, that's not fair.
- 46:58Carolyn, if I would've signed up,
- 47:00I should get my score for
- 47:02my rope climb just because
- 47:03I couldn't hit a snatch.
- 47:07But if you post a zero,
- 47:10then it needed to be some
- 47:11other form of that workout,
- 47:13like a buy-in of some sort.
- 47:14So like,
- 47:15it's not that I didn't do the work
- 47:16and I did like forty attempts.
- 47:18but like no video uploaded or anything.
- 47:21Okay.
- 47:22If you didn't do a workout,
- 47:23if you don't have a submitted score,
- 47:26I mean, I would have had a zero.
- 47:27I don't know.
- 47:27Like,
- 47:29but at least it's a zero and it's not
- 47:31like a, a blank, a no submission.
- 47:33I see what you're saying.
- 47:34Yeah.
- 47:34Yeah.
- 47:35I,
- 47:35you should have probably done the entire
- 47:38set of tests.
- 47:40Yeah.
- 47:42Yeah.
- 47:53You think Emily will win?
- 47:54How many athletes are they bringing?
- 47:59Thirty, right?
- 48:00Thirty.
- 48:00I didn't know if that was
- 48:04one of the bigger ones.
- 48:06I mean,
- 48:06the problem is if they only have
- 48:08five events or I mean,
- 48:10maybe they'll have six.
- 48:13I mean,
- 48:13she already she had her best shot
- 48:15at Mayhem because they only had what,
- 48:16eighteen, nineteen women.
- 48:18So she was going to get hurt
- 48:20the least at Mayhem.
- 48:24Yeah.
- 48:26But if Kazan's not going to TFX,
- 48:30Ariel's out.
- 48:30I mean, she'll have as good a shot at any,
- 48:35but it's going to be when
- 48:37you're only getting two and
- 48:39she has to do heavy Isabel again.
- 48:40Right.
- 48:43And that's what sucks that
- 48:43it's at every single stop.
- 48:45I agree.
- 48:50happens as far east had a
- 48:51qualifier renegade is
- 48:53africa only torian had a
- 48:54qualifier norcal is the
- 48:55only one that is open
- 48:57norcal had a qualifier yeah
- 48:58but they did leave it open
- 49:00to they could invite if
- 49:02they wish fifteen I think
- 49:04or something like that um
- 49:12you we say that online
- 49:14somebody took out the big
- 49:15hitters but that doesn't
- 49:17mean those people won't go
- 49:20Well,
- 49:21syndicate can't their syndicate is
- 49:24not allowing qualifiers in
- 49:27isn't Emily West.
- 49:29Oh yeah.
- 49:29Yeah.
- 49:33Like I,
- 49:34I could see those people still going,
- 49:36trying to win the money.
- 49:37Well,
- 49:38Ariel could go and win TFX and that's
- 49:40her spot.
- 49:41And then they backfill this one.
- 49:44Yeah.
- 49:46Or she could just go to go
- 49:48try to win money.
- 49:48And if Ariel and Olivia show up at TFX,
- 49:52that hurts Emily.
- 49:55But because this is not locked yet,
- 49:59their spot would be at TFX.
- 50:02And then you'd come back to
- 50:03this leaderboard and go down two more.
- 50:05Well, that really hurts Emily.
- 50:07Right.
- 50:09If this doesn't show you why
- 50:11this season is way too complicated...
- 50:13when we are engrossed in it
- 50:15and can't freaking talk
- 50:17about it in a way that
- 50:18makes sense without all these caveats,
- 50:23it's a problem.
- 50:24Yeah.
- 50:31Halpin says,
- 50:31Syndicate is inviting the next
- 50:32ten out of North America East.
- 50:34If this stays, it would be.
- 50:38But I think these guys are already invited,
- 50:40Mike.
- 50:44Unless they weren't in the top twenty.
- 50:46Okay.
- 50:47I'll trust that you check that.
- 50:48So, Rosa McCornway, Boulanger, Fernandez,
- 50:52Pancheck, Stovall, Vols, Mayer, Sterner,
- 50:56Quinn Robinson.
- 50:58And on the women's side, Kyra Milligan,
- 51:01Elsie Larson, Reese Littlewood,
- 51:02Nina Vrjovic, Elena Savage, Folo, Neely.
- 51:08Carolyn would get another invite.
- 51:12you got it from the first
- 51:13one miley wade and
- 51:14elizabeth wishart like I
- 51:20signed up for norcal um I
- 51:24think the norcal field is
- 51:25uh gonna be deeper and
- 51:27tougher than syndicate if I
- 51:32like the like a top heavy
- 51:35I think syndicate can be
- 51:37deeper in terms of the female athletes,
- 51:41but top heaviness of the competitors,
- 51:44NorCal is, I think,
- 51:47hands down above syndicate.
- 51:52Yeah.
- 51:58Man, season is crazy already.
- 52:02Carolyn,
- 52:04would you consider going to
- 52:05syndicate if they invited you again?
- 52:08I can't do both.
- 52:09I've already paid for my NorCal fee,
- 52:13which was like four hundred American.
- 52:15I've already paid my flight
- 52:16hotel and everything.
- 52:18I can't do those two
- 52:20competitions back to back with work.
- 52:24If I was a full time athlete and I had.
- 52:28Sponsors paying for all these trips,
- 52:29then maybe, but.
- 52:34just not in my schedule yeah
- 52:46as this see as we're
- 52:47getting deeper deeper into
- 52:48the season I don't like how
- 52:52it's playing out yeah but
- 52:58I'll reserve complete
- 52:59judgment till we're done at the end.
- 53:00But like if, if this, if this top three,
- 53:03if you added,
- 53:04let's say the four that I've
- 53:05already qualified and maybe
- 53:07a few more athletes, like,
- 53:08do you think that these
- 53:09five workouts could have
- 53:11qualified the top three to the games?
- 53:16I think the same
- 53:17reservations that you guys
- 53:18said at the top of the show of this,
- 53:21having a little bit of a
- 53:21strength bias to it holds to that.
- 53:33Yep.
- 53:33Amen to this as well.
- 53:35It's about time HQ says how
- 53:37last chance qualifiers gonna work?
- 53:45Yeah, that too.
- 53:47All right, well,
- 53:47we got some other stuff to get through.
- 53:48We'll get through that.
- 53:50And then we'll if we have time at the end,
- 53:51we'll come back and do some
- 53:53final thoughts.
- 53:56last chance qualifier is
- 53:57going to be picked from a top hat.
- 54:01I wonder if everyone can do
- 54:02it if it's online.
- 54:03I'm curious.
- 54:05I'm telling you,
- 54:05I still think it's the community go.
- 54:08Programmed by Mayhem?
- 54:10It's programmed by the community, I think.
- 54:14I thought it was programmed by Mayhem.
- 54:15No,
- 54:16they asked affiliate owners to send in
- 54:18workouts and they were
- 54:19going to pick three
- 54:19workouts that they liked the best,
- 54:21which that in itself is a little.
- 54:24I should have submitted some.
- 54:25You should have submitted some workouts.
- 54:27Some workouts.
- 54:30Four hundred deadlifts.
- 54:31Two twenty five deadlifts with burpees.
- 54:36Wait, what?
- 54:37LCQ?
- 54:39I already forgot about LCQ.
- 54:42Exactly.
- 54:45I didn't forget about it,
- 54:46but it's just another
- 54:49complication to what should
- 54:51be a simple process to get
- 54:53from the beginning of the
- 54:54season to the end of the season.
- 55:00Yeah.
- 55:01It's programmed by you, Carolyn.
- 55:09Should have submitted.
- 55:10So...
- 55:11Team scores are locked in this week.
- 55:13There were zero penalties.
- 55:16Shocking.
- 55:17They didn't ask for videos,
- 55:19so there were no penalties.
- 55:22Yeah, but we clearly saw some issues.
- 55:29Right.
- 55:29So things should have gotten penalized.
- 55:32That's got to be really
- 55:33frustrating for some of
- 55:34those teams that were right
- 55:35there on the cut line.
- 55:38But they didn't have to submit videos.
- 55:43it's really, really dumb.
- 55:44All right.
- 55:46The next thing is Bob Jennings, uh,
- 55:48was on the master's chatter
- 55:50and our West coast correspondent,
- 55:52Denise Moore, um, shot me some notes.
- 55:55Then I listened to it last night, uh,
- 55:57to kind of talk about
- 55:59what's going to happen with
- 55:59the age group qualifiers or
- 56:01age group qualifiers, age group,
- 56:04cry CrossFit games.
- 56:07And, uh,
- 56:08what made me super happy is
- 56:11that they think they have
- 56:12found a home for the
- 56:14foreseeable future in Columbus, Ohio.
- 56:17And the reason they think it's,
- 56:18they want a long-term home
- 56:20is they want a long-term partner, uh,
- 56:23to help promote the games to be,
- 56:25to make it like a community event, um,
- 56:28to bring people, um,
- 56:30from around this area where I live,
- 56:33which is awesome.
- 56:35Um, and,
- 56:36And it is,
- 56:38of all the places I've been for
- 56:40CrossFit games or even Alabama last year,
- 56:45there is so much more to do
- 56:47right outside the convention center.
- 56:50Like literally you walk
- 56:51right outside and there's a
- 56:53line of restaurants across the street.
- 56:55There are hotels attached to
- 56:57the convention center.
- 57:00I think they have a block of
- 57:01twelve different hotels.
- 57:05in and around the convention
- 57:06center that they have
- 57:08available for everybody
- 57:09when they're coming in.
- 57:10And they're encouraging
- 57:11people to use those because
- 57:13that's what the city looks
- 57:14at as a return on
- 57:15investment for what the
- 57:19event brings to the city.
- 57:22I wish they would have
- 57:24probably announced that a little earlier.
- 57:27A lot of us have already
- 57:27booked some rooms.
- 57:29Right.
- 57:30they have them from on all
- 57:31different um aspects like
- 57:34if you want the ones with
- 57:35the kitchen they have
- 57:37hotels with that if you
- 57:38want to be connected to the
- 57:39convention center they have
- 57:40rooms at the hilton or the
- 57:42hyatt they've got there's
- 57:44hotels all around it and in
- 57:45all different um price
- 57:48ranges and um amenities and
- 57:51they have a little bit of
- 57:52everything for everybody but they
- 57:54he did say they're
- 57:55encouraging people to use
- 57:56the blocks because it does
- 57:58show return on investment
- 58:00to the city and the more
- 58:01money they make the more
- 58:02they will put into the
- 58:04event and that's why
- 58:07they're trying to build
- 58:08this relationship um craig
- 58:11talks about rogue they did
- 58:13talk about that rogue is
- 58:14two miles down the street
- 58:15from the convention center
- 58:18the biggest thing that plays
- 58:19in advantages for them is
- 58:21that the teens and the
- 58:22masters are together and
- 58:24rogue is not shipping two
- 58:25sets of trucks in two
- 58:26different directions.
- 58:28Right.
- 58:29Plus it's just down the
- 58:30street and they get access
- 58:32to different kinds of
- 58:34equipment that they would
- 58:35not be able to get from a distance.
- 58:39And I think that those are
- 58:40like the special equipment you see at the,
- 58:44at the CrossFit games.
- 58:45Yeah.
- 58:49Um,
- 58:50they're also going to have a larger
- 58:52vendor village.
- 58:53It's a much,
- 58:54it's the venue itself is twice
- 58:56the size of Birmingham.
- 58:58So they will have four floors.
- 59:00One is an altar floor and
- 59:02they're going to have, um,
- 59:04separate warmup,
- 59:06warmup areas for different
- 59:07floors with specific
- 59:11equipment in each warmup area.
- 59:12Um,
- 59:15they're also going to have, um,
- 59:18and he said, it's a, it's a new,
- 59:21new facility.
- 59:21It is not new,
- 59:23but it is always being remodeled.
- 59:25Like they are always working on it.
- 59:28It is a state of the art
- 59:29convention center.
- 59:30It's expanded a ton.
- 59:32It is where they hold the
- 59:33Arnold every year,
- 59:34which brings like half a
- 59:38million people to the city of Columbus.
- 59:41So it is, it is massive.
- 59:43Um,
- 59:46They said the Columbus
- 59:47Sports Commission is
- 59:49willing to work with them
- 59:50to get the word out about the event.
- 59:57They also said,
- 1:00:00I've already said all those things,
- 1:00:02a spectator workout area
- 1:00:04partnering with Boulder
- 1:00:05Mayhem and WOD Prep.
- 1:00:06Each one of those partners
- 1:00:07will have a day where they
- 1:00:09will run spectator workouts
- 1:00:11for the entire day inside
- 1:00:13the convention center for
- 1:00:14the spectators to be able to work out.
- 1:00:17Um,
- 1:00:17they're going to have an affiliate
- 1:00:18owner's lounge for them to hang out in,
- 1:00:21um, during the day.
- 1:00:26There will be probably less
- 1:00:27workouts this year than last year,
- 1:00:29but the same amount of time
- 1:00:30spent on the floor.
- 1:00:32So one of the big complaints
- 1:00:33last year was there was no long events.
- 1:00:36They were all like,
- 1:00:37fifteen minutes or less.
- 1:00:38This year they're going to
- 1:00:39add some longer events,
- 1:00:41but that means less events
- 1:00:43throughout the day.
- 1:00:43They have thirty seven heats
- 1:00:45per event to get through,
- 1:00:47including the teens and all the masters.
- 1:00:50And and they want to be able to do that.
- 1:00:55So they said expect a longer cardio event.
- 1:00:59More as local restaurants
- 1:01:01and hotels by far.
- 1:01:02I echo that.
- 1:01:03Literally two blocks down the street,
- 1:01:07one way is the North Market,
- 1:01:09which has a ton of stuff.
- 1:01:10Two blocks north up the
- 1:01:11street is the Short North,
- 1:01:13which is the bougie
- 1:01:15restaurant area of downtown anyway.
- 1:01:18And like every two feet,
- 1:01:20there's another restaurant.
- 1:01:21They're just everywhere.
- 1:01:23And there's grocery stores
- 1:01:25near the downtown area as
- 1:01:26well that you'd be able to get to.
- 1:01:30And even probably walking distance.
- 1:01:34No title sponsor yet.
- 1:01:35And the clothing sponsor is TBD.
- 1:01:38Sounds to me like they have
- 1:01:39the clothing sponsor.
- 1:01:40They're just not ready to
- 1:01:41announce it the way he talked about it.
- 1:01:43They need to announce this stuff.
- 1:01:47And then they are going to
- 1:01:48have cuts for the final
- 1:01:50event and they're going to
- 1:01:51cut the field in half.
- 1:01:53So whatever your age group
- 1:01:55has gets cut in half for the final event.
- 1:01:59And then, fifteen lanes each floor.
- 1:02:01And they will not be doing
- 1:02:03the split floor like they did last year,
- 1:02:06where half of the lanes
- 1:02:07face the other half.
- 1:02:08It's traditional, straight across,
- 1:02:11fifteen lanes.
- 1:02:12That's good.
- 1:02:15And we can expect higher
- 1:02:17skills for the sixty plus.
- 1:02:23So I heard Tony,
- 1:02:27they don't have their
- 1:02:28master cheddar doesn't have
- 1:02:29a YouTube channel.
- 1:02:32I know.
- 1:02:32I hate that.
- 1:02:32You don't have a YouTube channel.
- 1:02:34You're not taking advantage
- 1:02:35of everything you need to
- 1:02:36take advantage of.
- 1:02:38Yeah.
- 1:02:38Um,
- 1:02:38but I heard Tony who always is the guy
- 1:02:41like, let me do,
- 1:02:43let me show that I can do
- 1:02:44handstand walks.
- 1:02:45Let me show I can do handstand pushups.
- 1:02:47Let me show I can do a muscle up.
- 1:02:49Um,
- 1:02:49and they're going to make it so the six
- 1:02:52D plus can show those skills.
- 1:02:55So that that's really awesome.
- 1:02:59Tim Nekritz ,
- 1:03:00Anything there you guys want
- 1:03:00to talk more about I just
- 1:03:01wanted to run down through
- 1:03:02that quick and I am going
- 1:03:04to try to get some video
- 1:03:06over the next few weeks of that area,
- 1:03:08so you can see kind of what
- 1:03:10all is there and what's
- 1:03:11available and I'll I'll do
- 1:03:14a special program for that.
- 1:03:17I mean,
- 1:03:17I think the separate warm up floors
- 1:03:20for each floor is a great
- 1:03:22idea and I mean I'm
- 1:03:24surprised are capable of doing all that,
- 1:03:26but.
- 1:03:28there's going to be even
- 1:03:28more people than there were last year.
- 1:03:30And it was already tight in
- 1:03:31the warmup area.
- 1:03:32Like when you throw the teens back,
- 1:03:33they're trying to warm up the teams back.
- 1:03:36They're trying to warm up
- 1:03:37while the age groups are
- 1:03:38starting to warm up.
- 1:03:39That's a lot.
- 1:03:40So if you got, I mean, yeah, be,
- 1:03:44you're going to,
- 1:03:44you as your group is going
- 1:03:45to only go to your floor
- 1:03:46that you're on and it's
- 1:03:47going to feel less congested.
- 1:03:51Yeah,
- 1:03:51I don't think each floor will have
- 1:03:54its own warm-up area,
- 1:03:55but I think they're going
- 1:03:56to have like these two
- 1:03:57floors have a warm-up area
- 1:03:59and these two floors have a warm-up area.
- 1:04:02It's the way it sounded to
- 1:04:03me if I were to translate
- 1:04:07what he was saying.
- 1:04:09Well,
- 1:04:09it's better than one warm-up area for
- 1:04:11sure.
- 1:04:13But the key is they didn't
- 1:04:14have much equipment in the
- 1:04:16warmup area on top of the space.
- 1:04:18Right.
- 1:04:19And they will have much more
- 1:04:21equipment because they're
- 1:04:22so close to rogue and
- 1:04:23they're not splitting with the teens.
- 1:04:30Yeah.
- 1:04:30So you said in there that
- 1:04:31the turf floor is being
- 1:04:33brought in by the teens.
- 1:04:35Is it,
- 1:04:38is it for everyone or is only the
- 1:04:40teens doing a turf workout?
- 1:04:43No, everybody is doing this,
- 1:04:44are doing the same workouts,
- 1:04:45teens and masters.
- 1:04:47There is one cohesive team
- 1:04:49now with Legends and Pit.
- 1:04:52They have formed into one
- 1:04:53team and they've kind of
- 1:04:54split off responsibilities.
- 1:04:56Got it.
- 1:04:57The turf was just purchased by the Pit.
- 1:05:00So they are bringing that with them.
- 1:05:03The rest of the floor,
- 1:05:04I didn't even know this,
- 1:05:05but Legends owns.
- 1:05:07Really?
- 1:05:08Yeah.
- 1:05:08So they are bringing...
- 1:05:10their floor in and they're
- 1:05:11purchasing another big
- 1:05:13chunk of flooring to,
- 1:05:15to expand the warmup area,
- 1:05:16the spectator area, all of that.
- 1:05:20Yeah.
- 1:05:20I didn't know they owned all that,
- 1:05:23but Bob did say that on the,
- 1:05:26on the podcast and that he
- 1:05:27is buying more.
- 1:05:28That's crazy.
- 1:05:32So you,
- 1:05:33the one thing it showed me is they are,
- 1:05:35we may complain about them at times,
- 1:05:37but they are invested in this.
- 1:05:39Right.
- 1:05:40For the long haul.
- 1:05:45So.
- 1:05:46Yeah,
- 1:05:47and it was cool that he actually – I
- 1:05:49didn't write it down in notes,
- 1:05:51but he did say how this
- 1:05:53person from the pit is doing this now.
- 1:05:56Bob is kind of doing programming.
- 1:05:58Joe is doing logistics and
- 1:06:01how all that – and I'm
- 1:06:02actually – I reached out to
- 1:06:03Joe about behind the scenes,
- 1:06:05and I'm actually trying to
- 1:06:06help him with a couple
- 1:06:08acquisitions that he's
- 1:06:10trying to do for the thing.
- 1:06:12So I'm trying to get in even
- 1:06:13better with them from a
- 1:06:15volunteer standpoint as a,
- 1:06:17as in addition to doing a
- 1:06:19behind the scenes.
- 1:06:20So I'm trying to help them
- 1:06:22out where I can.
- 1:06:27Yeah.
- 1:06:29then we move on to the wfp
- 1:06:31which is happening this
- 1:06:33weekend uh tour stop one
- 1:06:35they were on coffee pods
- 1:06:36and wads I'm just gonna do
- 1:06:38a quick recap of what I
- 1:06:40learned and then jamie can
- 1:06:41correct me on all of it
- 1:06:43because we were fighting
- 1:06:44about this before we went
- 1:06:45live on the air oh yeah
- 1:06:49denise before I move on
- 1:06:50they are trying to make the
- 1:06:51broadcast make sense for the sponsor
- 1:06:55sponsors don't want an eight hour,
- 1:06:58eighteen hour broadcast
- 1:07:00with no eyes on it.
- 1:07:01So they're trying to find a
- 1:07:02way to make it something
- 1:07:05that a sponsor wants to get
- 1:07:06behind and help them pay for it.
- 1:07:09And they're trying to come
- 1:07:10up with innovative ways.
- 1:07:12They did not go into detail
- 1:07:13as to what that meant.
- 1:07:20So the
- 1:07:24Yeah, Craig,
- 1:07:25what we'll get to the French
- 1:07:26flow down to.
- 1:07:29Coffee Pods and Wads, Saxon, Pancheck,
- 1:07:31Will, Morad,
- 1:07:32and Jackson Terry were all on
- 1:07:36Coffee Pods and Wads.
- 1:07:39Saxon got hit out of the
- 1:07:41gate with explaining the
- 1:07:43community aspect and the
- 1:07:44affiliate aspect of the WFP.
- 1:07:48And he said that he's
- 1:07:49constantly reaching out to
- 1:07:50gyms and finding out their needs.
- 1:07:52And he views them as an
- 1:07:54add-on or an addition to an existing gym.
- 1:08:00saying you have to get rid
- 1:08:01of what you're doing and come to us,
- 1:08:03but hey,
- 1:08:03we can add this to help you
- 1:08:05develop your community.
- 1:08:10Did he give any specifics?
- 1:08:12No, he didn't.
- 1:08:15He did.
- 1:08:15Calm down.
- 1:08:16This is my floor right now.
- 1:08:18He did.
- 1:08:19They're coming up with a rec league,
- 1:08:21which gives touch points in
- 1:08:23competition throughout the year.
- 1:08:25They're trying to hold one once a quarter,
- 1:08:28and they're including the
- 1:08:30worldwide qualifier for
- 1:08:33Copenhagen as one of those
- 1:08:35rec league events,
- 1:08:37in addition to the other three,
- 1:08:39but they're going to be
- 1:08:40more specific to like, one will be heavy.
- 1:08:48One will be endurance one to
- 1:08:51kind of like be inclusive
- 1:08:54in your gym so that
- 1:08:55everybody has a chance to
- 1:08:56kind of play and do that.
- 1:09:02Yeah.
- 1:09:03He said one quarter will be
- 1:09:03endurance focused next quarter,
- 1:09:05strength focused and so on and so on.
- 1:09:08And then they'll review the
- 1:09:09cadence after the season
- 1:09:11and see if they need to do
- 1:09:12it more or do it less.
- 1:09:14But these are just some of
- 1:09:15what he called the tier one add ons.
- 1:09:18And then the founding fifty
- 1:09:20will will be working with
- 1:09:22them to develop a tier two
- 1:09:25and a tier three for
- 1:09:26additional add ons in the future.
- 1:09:30the so that was saxon at the
- 1:09:32beginning then it went to
- 1:09:34the broadcast and the
- 1:09:35broadcast is not going to
- 1:09:36be on youtube their
- 1:09:38broadcast is only on their
- 1:09:39website and it's because
- 1:09:41that youtube does not allow
- 1:09:42them to do some things they
- 1:09:44want to experiment with and
- 1:09:46that is the multi-language
- 1:09:48ai feature that you can't
- 1:09:50do that on youtube so they
- 1:09:53are doing it on their um
- 1:09:56their own website and it
- 1:09:57allows some other
- 1:09:58applications that YouTube
- 1:10:00wouldn't allow as well.
- 1:10:03They were questioned as to
- 1:10:05with YouTube being the
- 1:10:06second largest search engine in the world,
- 1:10:11are they going to lose
- 1:10:11people who don't just
- 1:10:13happen to see it show up in their feed?
- 1:10:15You actually have to think, hey,
- 1:10:17I'm going to go watch WFP
- 1:10:19and go to the website.
- 1:10:21It's not just going to pop up for you.
- 1:10:23And they said they they've
- 1:10:25talked about that,
- 1:10:26knew that was going to be an issue,
- 1:10:28but they want to see if
- 1:10:30with all these extras,
- 1:10:31it it will make sense for
- 1:10:33them to do it on their own website.
- 1:10:40They will said he actually
- 1:10:42tried to avoid semifinals.
- 1:10:44when they were putting the
- 1:10:45dates and they actually
- 1:10:47moved their first tour stop
- 1:10:48date one because it interfered with TFX.
- 1:10:52And then when they found
- 1:10:53another date in Indianapolis,
- 1:10:55it happened to be on the French throwdown,
- 1:10:58but they didn't know the
- 1:10:59French throwdown date until
- 1:11:00after they had locked in.
- 1:11:03Yeah.
- 1:11:03Yeah.
- 1:11:06It's tough for them if
- 1:11:07there's no dates announced
- 1:11:08by like CrossFit.
- 1:11:10But like, you know,
- 1:11:11you still know when the
- 1:11:12season is always in that May, June.
- 1:11:15Like, you know,
- 1:11:15especially May is always
- 1:11:17qualifiers and maybe the
- 1:11:19first weekend of June normally.
- 1:11:22And then they also talked
- 1:11:23about the competitions will
- 1:11:24vary very much depending on
- 1:11:26the venue they're in.
- 1:11:27In Indianapolis, it's going to be cooler.
- 1:11:30So they're doing a long outdoor run.
- 1:11:33There is a turf floor.
- 1:11:34They're going to do sled
- 1:11:35pushes when they get to Mesa.
- 1:11:38It's going to be one hundred
- 1:11:38thirty degrees.
- 1:11:39So there's not going to be an outdoor run.
- 1:11:41It's going to be more like a
- 1:11:42regionals esque style competition.
- 1:11:46And there's no turf floor.
- 1:11:47So they're not going to push
- 1:11:48sleds on cement.
- 1:11:49I'm not going to that one.
- 1:11:54And then next season will be
- 1:11:56four events with one a
- 1:11:57quarter instead of three events.
- 1:12:02But again,
- 1:12:04everything is under review after
- 1:12:05the season to check everything out.
- 1:12:07And I'll end with this.
- 1:12:10Penciled in,
- 1:12:11we do have either Will or
- 1:12:13Saxon coming on the show
- 1:12:15after Tour Event One.
- 1:12:16So we'll be able to break
- 1:12:19down how it went with them.
- 1:12:21And you'll be able to ask
- 1:12:22your questions live in our
- 1:12:24chat because we learned
- 1:12:25today that they watch the
- 1:12:27chat as they're in the
- 1:12:29podcast because they
- 1:12:30watched all the comments.
- 1:12:32Oh, Saxon was struggling.
- 1:12:37And Will was watching them too.
- 1:12:39Cause he even said it was off the hook,
- 1:12:40but, um,
- 1:12:41But yeah,
- 1:12:43we were told we'll get either
- 1:12:44Will or Saxon after the
- 1:12:47event to break down how it went,
- 1:12:49what their thoughts are, all of that.
- 1:12:51So we have that coming up
- 1:12:54after Tour Event One.
- 1:12:57So that was that.
- 1:12:58A couple quick hitters.
- 1:13:01CrossFit OG Rob Orlando is battling cancer,
- 1:13:04if people didn't see that.
- 1:13:06So thoughts and prayers out to him.
- 1:13:08He is the original strong
- 1:13:09man in the CrossFit space.
- 1:13:13And he was a rogue athlete.
- 1:13:14They even made like a strong
- 1:13:16man t-shirt for him back in the day.
- 1:13:20I followed him a lot when I
- 1:13:21first got into CrossFit as
- 1:13:23a bigger athlete.
- 1:13:24I related to him a lot.
- 1:13:26So it saddened me to see
- 1:13:28that he's on this fight,
- 1:13:29but let's hope he can win
- 1:13:30the fight and do everything
- 1:13:33he needs to do.
- 1:13:37Justin, I guess, is leaving Noble.
- 1:13:41which surprised me.
- 1:13:42Um, because on boys interrupted,
- 1:13:46he's been giving away a lot
- 1:13:47of noble stuff,
- 1:13:48but maybe that's why it's
- 1:13:50your clearance items now.
- 1:13:51Yeah.
- 1:13:53Cause where's it,
- 1:13:54does it say where he's going?
- 1:13:56Uh, the speculation is rad.
- 1:13:59Oh, interesting.
- 1:14:03Yeah.
- 1:14:04Yeah.
- 1:14:07And then I don't have a lot
- 1:14:09of details about this, but just,
- 1:14:10if you didn't see,
- 1:14:12there was a CrossFit
- 1:14:13athlete at a competition in Mexico, uh,
- 1:14:16who ended up passing away, uh,
- 1:14:19from a heart condition on, um,
- 1:14:23on the competition floor.
- 1:14:24Yeah.
- 1:14:26Uh, and that's really,
- 1:14:27her name was Nayeli Clemente.
- 1:14:33So thoughts and prayers go
- 1:14:34out to her family and her teammates.
- 1:14:36It was a team event in Mexico.
- 1:14:41And so that's just tough news.
- 1:14:44We've had a lot of that.
- 1:14:45We had someone die at the
- 1:14:46Arnold this year.
- 1:14:48Of course,
- 1:14:48the CrossFit Games was our situation,
- 1:14:50and now we have this.
- 1:14:52And hopefully all of this
- 1:14:55makes the safety around
- 1:14:56events more of a
- 1:14:58forethought than an afterthought.
- 1:15:01Yeah.
- 1:15:02I was trying to get more details on this,
- 1:15:05trying to figure out what
- 1:15:07exactly happened there.
- 1:15:08And it was hard to get any details.
- 1:15:11I, you know,
- 1:15:13everyone's comments are very opinionated.
- 1:15:15It sounded like the response
- 1:15:18team probably wasn't the best, but yeah,
- 1:15:20it goes to, it needs to be well,
- 1:15:24medical staff needs to be ready, able,
- 1:15:27willing.
- 1:15:28Yeah, I mean,
- 1:15:29I saw things where the
- 1:15:30spectators responded faster
- 1:15:32than the response team.
- 1:15:34And if that is true,
- 1:15:39Halpin says he actually
- 1:15:40talked to the spectator who
- 1:15:41intervened and did CPR.
- 1:15:48There was an event in the U.S.
- 1:15:50a couple years ago where
- 1:15:51there was an event on the
- 1:15:52floor and the spectators
- 1:15:54responded faster than the team.
- 1:15:57And that cannot happen.
- 1:16:00Right.
- 1:16:03Um,
- 1:16:03thank God one of the judges who wasn't
- 1:16:06there as part of the medical team was a,
- 1:16:09a registered nurse and got
- 1:16:12there really fast.
- 1:16:15And then a spectator was a
- 1:16:16doctor and the two of them
- 1:16:18did what they needed to do.
- 1:16:19But, and that is just like two years ago.
- 1:16:24So that has to stop.
- 1:16:26We have to have medical teams,
- 1:16:28or if they're volunteer or
- 1:16:30you have someone come in,
- 1:16:32be ready to respond.
- 1:16:35Yeah.
- 1:16:36Ridiculous.
- 1:16:39But again,
- 1:16:41Halpin probably knows more than
- 1:16:42I do on this situation.
- 1:16:43All I'm getting are comments.
- 1:16:46Yeah.
- 1:16:47So I don't want to report them as news.
- 1:16:49Right.
- 1:16:50But if Mike says he talked
- 1:16:51to the spectator who intervened,
- 1:16:54that's proof that the
- 1:16:56spectator is the one that
- 1:16:57had to do the CPR.
- 1:17:00So there's that.
- 1:17:06Any final thoughts on the
- 1:17:08elite leaderboard?
- 1:17:12And French throwdown coming up?
- 1:17:14just it's unofficial still I
- 1:17:15think there's still going
- 1:17:16to be some moving around as
- 1:17:19some scores get adjusted um
- 1:17:23especially around the
- 1:17:23bubble yep there's some
- 1:17:27athletes that are very very
- 1:17:28close in points and tied in
- 1:17:29points like you may see
- 1:17:31quite a bit of different um
- 1:17:35athletes there in the in a
- 1:17:36couple weeks um
- 1:17:43Um, Lynn says,
- 1:17:44and not to bring up bad memories,
- 1:17:45but they should allow
- 1:17:46spectators to interfere if
- 1:17:48they see something that no
- 1:17:49one else is seeing,
- 1:17:50like in Lazar's situation.
- 1:17:52I think you can't be black
- 1:17:54or white on this.
- 1:17:55It all depends on where, when,
- 1:17:58but there should be trained
- 1:17:59medical staff that are,
- 1:18:00that can be alerted at a moment's notice.
- 1:18:06Um,
- 1:18:08Mike says he's working on a write-up,
- 1:18:10but I don't speak Spanish,
- 1:18:11so working with a few people to validate.
- 1:18:14There's a lot of conflicting information,
- 1:18:15very sad and very raw at the moment.
- 1:18:17Yeah.
- 1:18:21When are final results going to be in?
- 1:18:23In one week?
- 1:18:24No, it's going to be a couple weeks.
- 1:18:26Yeah, I think it's two weeks.
- 1:18:28Yeah, it's the twenty.
- 1:18:29I think it's twenty third.
- 1:18:31I want to say is in my head.
- 1:18:32I think it's like the ninth,
- 1:18:33the eighteenth in my head.
- 1:18:35I think so.
- 1:18:36I think it is two weeks.
- 1:18:38I think it's Monday, eighteenth,
- 1:18:41May nineteenth.
- 1:18:42Yeah.
- 1:18:43So it's one week for for public review.
- 1:18:46Then that gets turned off
- 1:18:48and then HQ will have their
- 1:18:49week to review those.
- 1:18:53And then it'll be fine.
- 1:18:53HQ doesn't give out any
- 1:18:55penalties until the second week, right?
- 1:18:57correct yeah nothing
- 1:19:00happened in that first week
- 1:19:01that was public yeah that
- 1:19:02doesn't give like other
- 1:19:04competitions like syndicate
- 1:19:05much time to invite um the
- 1:19:09right athletes off because
- 1:19:10they have to wait for this
- 1:19:11video review process yeah
- 1:19:16uh yes lynn it's before syndicate
- 1:19:20So Syndicate is not allowing
- 1:19:22qualifiers into the competition.
- 1:19:24So when Syndicate takes off,
- 1:19:26the top two finishers at
- 1:19:28Syndicate will get a ticket to the games.
- 1:19:35As long as they pass their drug test.
- 1:19:41CrossFit did do another
- 1:19:42second round of drug tests
- 1:19:44and everybody passed and
- 1:19:46someone on the screen
- 1:19:48passed her drug test.
- 1:19:50So congratulations.
- 1:19:53I had the call from, um,
- 1:19:57Oh, my God.
- 1:19:58Chris... I forget his last name.
- 1:20:01I'm blanking on his name.
- 1:20:03He does the athlete control
- 1:20:05for the drug testing.
- 1:20:07And I get a call, and it's like, hi,
- 1:20:10we got your results back for...
- 1:20:14like the thingy and it's
- 1:20:16like you you pass do you
- 1:20:17want to be on the list of
- 1:20:19athletes that show that
- 1:20:21you're testing so I don't
- 1:20:22know there's athletes that
- 1:20:23deny to go on that list and
- 1:20:26they don't want to be um
- 1:20:28but they ask whether you
- 1:20:30want to be on the list of
- 1:20:32the athletes that have been
- 1:20:34tested I think if you test
- 1:20:36I think if an athlete would test
- 1:20:39positive they like there's
- 1:20:42no there's no um asking
- 1:20:44like they were just like
- 1:20:45yeah but if you've like
- 1:20:47passed your test then you
- 1:20:48can decline to have your
- 1:20:50name released if you wanted
- 1:20:52which I don't know why
- 1:20:53anyone would like right
- 1:20:57don't you want to just
- 1:20:59throw out there the most
- 1:21:00names I'm surprised that
- 1:21:02they need permission yeah yeah that's odd
- 1:21:09Like, just post the results.
- 1:21:11Like, you don't need to ask.
- 1:21:14I'm like,
- 1:21:15why am I getting a call for this?
- 1:21:17It's probably a HIPAA thing
- 1:21:19here in the United States.
- 1:21:21But you're choosing to
- 1:21:22participate in this.
- 1:21:23Right, but you're choosing to participate.
- 1:21:27going to the doctor but
- 1:21:28they're not allowed to tell
- 1:21:29people what the result but
- 1:21:31you're in a you're
- 1:21:32competing in a public sport
- 1:21:35like you've agreed to be on
- 1:21:37this testing list you have
- 1:21:39agreed like I think you
- 1:21:40kind of lose that have you
- 1:21:42ever heard another sport
- 1:21:43announce a negative drug
- 1:21:45test never have I seen that
- 1:21:49when crossfit started doing
- 1:21:50that I was like what are
- 1:21:50they doing I have never
- 1:21:52seen this before you only
- 1:21:54see the positive yeah
- 1:21:58I think the athletes would
- 1:21:59want to make that public though.
- 1:22:02Yeah.
- 1:22:02Yeah.
- 1:22:05I'm,
- 1:22:06I'm betting it's just a policy because
- 1:22:08of HIPAA.
- 1:22:08Yeah.
- 1:22:10That they don't release the
- 1:22:11information unless the
- 1:22:12person tested positive.
- 1:22:14And even when they did,
- 1:22:16you'll see like this person
- 1:22:18tested positive for a band substance.
- 1:22:20They won't even say what
- 1:22:22like CrossFit is the only
- 1:22:23place I've ever seen the
- 1:22:25list of all the things they
- 1:22:26test positive for.
- 1:22:28like what's his name last
- 1:22:29year at the masters games
- 1:22:32who took just everything off the shelf.
- 1:22:40I hope that they still
- 1:22:41continue to test at the masters.
- 1:22:42Like, like what they test last year,
- 1:22:44five top five.
- 1:22:45Yeah.
- 1:22:46I hope they still do that.
- 1:22:48Cause like,
- 1:22:48I get that there's less money
- 1:22:50this year with like from
- 1:22:52the open and stuff like that,
- 1:22:54but I hope that it doesn't
- 1:22:55affect the testing that they'll do at the,
- 1:22:57um, masters CrossFit games.
- 1:23:01Cause I think that's very important.
- 1:23:02I think there's a lot that
- 1:23:06needs to get tested.
- 1:23:08Mm-hmm.
- 1:23:11I think it was a more robust
- 1:23:13off-season testing than
- 1:23:16they've done before.
- 1:23:19Usually you get one list of names.
- 1:23:22It's the same ones.
- 1:23:23There was definitely more
- 1:23:26variety this time around.
- 1:23:30I've been on the list for I don't know.
- 1:23:34I give my whereabouts every quarterly for
- 1:23:36the amount of, I don't know,
- 1:23:37maybe the last five years,
- 1:23:41and they have yet to do an
- 1:23:43out-of-season testing with me,
- 1:23:44but then they did this year.
- 1:23:49I noticed there were masters on this list,
- 1:23:52but none from Brazil.
- 1:23:56I think they picked some of
- 1:23:57the top ones from the open.
- 1:23:58Yeah, that's what it seemed like.
- 1:24:01Well, if you look at the countries,
- 1:24:04they didn't go far from home.
- 1:24:07Yeah.
- 1:24:11Um, one, uh, someone from Twitch, uh,
- 1:24:15CrossFit wants to make
- 1:24:16example of cheaters.
- 1:24:22So, yeah.
- 1:24:24Um, I just, I found that I wanted,
- 1:24:27because almost all of the
- 1:24:28masters athletes were us based.
- 1:24:34Um, so,
- 1:24:35and I think even in the elite division,
- 1:24:37there was Guy.
- 1:24:39So there was someone from Brazil,
- 1:24:41but it was Guy, um, right.
- 1:24:46Yeah.
- 1:24:47And I'm wondering if it's
- 1:24:49cost prohibitive to test in
- 1:24:51other countries.
- 1:24:56So there we have it.
- 1:24:59Um, one final look at the top eleven.
- 1:25:03then we'll get out of here
- 1:25:06uh what we have right now
- 1:25:07unofficially as everybody
- 1:25:09is saying jeff fadler with
- 1:25:11a as carolyn said very
- 1:25:12impressive um he's the
- 1:25:15fittest until to me proven otherwise
- 1:25:19We have Adler, Crouch, Pepper, Sprague,
- 1:25:21Magda, Hopper, Garrard, Medaris, Zanoni,
- 1:25:26Boshard, and Harry Lightfoot.
- 1:25:29With Yonikoski one spot out.
- 1:25:32Just as he was last week.
- 1:25:36So Rich didn't do it?
- 1:25:38Tia didn't do it?
- 1:25:42Nope.
- 1:25:43Tia said she wasn't.
- 1:25:44Did she say she wasn't?
- 1:25:46Rich said he wasn't on his
- 1:25:47podcast this week.
- 1:25:48Tia on her podcast,
- 1:25:49it really made it seem like
- 1:25:51she's going to the games.
- 1:25:52Like she's going to try to qualify at, um,
- 1:25:55at Torian.
- 1:25:57It seems like she's doing
- 1:25:57the game season to me, at least from the,
- 1:26:00from that.
- 1:26:00Uh, Tomo fit.
- 1:26:04Yes.
- 1:26:04I'm one of,
- 1:26:04I'm the one of two CrossFitters
- 1:26:06on Twitch in health and film.
- 1:26:07Uh, three,
- 1:26:13nineteen on heavy Isabel for Adler.
- 1:26:15Yeah.
- 1:26:15Impressive.
- 1:26:18Tudor, I hope you don't slip.
- 1:26:22I love Tudor.
- 1:26:23I hope he gets through this review.
- 1:26:27But man,
- 1:26:27I've been heartbroken too many times.
- 1:26:34Len,
- 1:26:34there's no number as to what's going
- 1:26:36to be reviewed.
- 1:26:37It is based on votes by the
- 1:26:40online judging for this week.
- 1:26:42And the people who get a lot
- 1:26:44of down votes with comments
- 1:26:47will be reviewed.
- 1:26:49Correct.
- 1:26:53Now, where the online judging will go,
- 1:26:55who knows?
- 1:26:56There's a lot more people on
- 1:26:57this list than there were
- 1:26:59in each of the age groups
- 1:27:01on age group leaderboards.
- 1:27:04Well, no.
- 1:27:06I mean, there's like, what,
- 1:27:09three hundred fifty women?
- 1:27:13Like,
- 1:27:13there's way fewer videos to review here.
- 1:27:16Way fewer videos.
- 1:27:20If you didn't see earlier in the show,
- 1:27:21we had judges that got an
- 1:27:23email saying that now there
- 1:27:25are comments required for this round.
- 1:27:29Correct.
- 1:27:29And that came from a couple of judges.
- 1:27:35Lana agrees with Carolyn.
- 1:27:37I think Tia's going for it.
- 1:27:44Oh, no.
- 1:27:45I just watched someone I
- 1:27:46likes video for lunges.
- 1:27:47That's a penalty.
- 1:27:48And I'm so scared.
- 1:27:50Yeah, got to do the reps.
- 1:27:51We'll say the name so we can
- 1:27:53all go watch it.
- 1:27:55The top eleven on the
- 1:27:57women's side is Ariel Loewen in first,
- 1:28:00Sairia Meha in second, Raptus, Kerstetter,
- 1:28:05Greer, Stanley, Wells, Sturt, Brandon,
- 1:28:10Adams, and in a tie for eleventh,
- 1:28:12Kringle and Walton.
- 1:28:14But that will probably break
- 1:28:15up as the video review goes on.
- 1:28:18That proven group.
- 1:28:21Did really well.
- 1:28:23Yeah, and just on the outside looking in,
- 1:28:26big names, Mick Alician, Jennifer Muir,
- 1:28:29Lucy McGonigal, Miriam Von Roar,
- 1:28:32Kyra Milligan.
- 1:28:35Because that proven group
- 1:28:37that we're doing it, like Kyra, Sturt,
- 1:28:41who else is up there?
- 1:28:42I can't see.
- 1:28:47think that and Stanley
- 1:28:49Herstetter Herstetter like
- 1:28:51that's all proven like
- 1:28:51that's that's a big group I
- 1:28:55think it was smart for them
- 1:28:56to do the throwdown
- 1:28:58atmosphere to make it like
- 1:29:00a live competition for sure
- 1:29:03and I'm sure other camps
- 1:29:04did do that as well they
- 1:29:06just were very public about
- 1:29:08doing it I do agree with helping here
- 1:29:16Yeah.
- 1:29:16I'd imagine Cyria gets a lot
- 1:29:19of eyes on her videos for
- 1:29:20being a lesser known name.
- 1:29:21I had to ask Brian friend about her.
- 1:29:23He of course had the full backstory.
- 1:29:25Yeah.
- 1:29:26I know he's been talking about her,
- 1:29:28but it's still gonna, I mean,
- 1:29:31but you're right.
- 1:29:32Like they're going to get a
- 1:29:34lot of reviews.
- 1:29:34All right.
- 1:29:44Okay.
- 1:29:45so that's it for tonight
- 1:29:47guys we didn't go over yay
- 1:29:52uh he has an interview with
- 1:29:53her and she's so bubbly and
- 1:29:54cool cool it's awesome
- 1:29:59nobody knows the european
- 1:30:00field like brian friend
- 1:30:02like that is there that is
- 1:30:03not in doubt I I have
- 1:30:09I can say that I know the
- 1:30:11master's field as well as
- 1:30:12anybody in the space,
- 1:30:14but he kills me on Europe.
- 1:30:17That is for sure.
