Ep 54 - Tia Toomey is the Fittest CrossFit® athlete ever and Ricky Garard podiums at the Games

I discuss how Tia wins her 6th CrossFit® Games title, whether I think she will retire, and Ricky and Roman podium at the Games.

Rich Froning...

No she is not. Mat Fraser is. Women use less weight in every weighted movement, they lift less, they take more time to complete workouts against the clock, they do less rounds per time interval, etc. Tia is a beast, she is awesome, the greatest and fitest FEMALE athlete ever. BUT she is not fitter than Mat Fraser, she never was.

It’s not looking at gender it’s looking at wins, championships etc. if she were a male she probably would be better than Fraser if u analyse her performance.

@@mazdobe You are speculating. We can only talk for sure about the facts. Tia is the best FEMALE athlete ever, by far. If we omit gender differences then there is no contest, Mat is the fittest in history. If we were to ignore the gender categorization then we could also ignore any other category boundaries, then we could include teams and then Rich Froning in the comparative and he has the record of most wins in history, by far, more than Tia. Tia does not need all this comparisons, she is a legend and the GOAT in her own category, the female category.

Julio - give credit where credit is due! Tia is without a doubt the most dominant INDIVIDUAL CrossFit athlete of all time. She has had the most championships and the most individual event wins. There’s no reason to take anything away from that. Don’t get me wrong, Mat was insane. However, Tia has proved to be more dominant since she’s won more times.

@@cole.s1442 I already gave credit where credit is due, I already said that Tia is the GOAT in the female division. To say that Tia is the most "dominant" individual athlete ever would require to define "dominant" in a very specific way as the one with most individual titles and then with that specific definition Tia would be the most dominant. BUT that particular definition is not the only reasonable one, we could sensibly define "dominant" as the fittest on earth at a given time across all divisions and then Mat would be the clear winner BY FAR . You are free to define "dominant" in whatever way suits your feelings, ideology and narrative, but may be the most honest way to say things is to just be specific and say that Tia is the most dominant FEMALE athlete ever in the FEMALE division, while Mat Fraser has the second place in terms of winning streak.
