I feel like the answer could be a media poll like the NCAA uses...a mash-up of people from the CrossFit media ecosystem vote and points are allocated based on positioning by each voting member to get your aggregated ranking. A coach's poll could be a group of of Shane Orr, Rich Froning, Justin Cottler, etc. voting.
I don’t know if I agree with the (male) celebration point (around minute 16:30)-it was awesome to see Jelle Hoste win, especially the running event. Dude was super pumped.
Y’all should do an event programming like events you would want to see programmed or benchmark wods like Elisabeth and Jackie but with spins, I would want to see the bear complex but with more rounds like they did with double DT and if you fail a complex you’re either out or have to do a penalty an ascending weight of it each round would also be good
Brent's All In series, he tied for 3rd but ended up 4th due to tie break rule. Brent and Pat's All In series chronicles after they got cut and then the covid year. So you all are wrong there. Ps. Go back and watch those and Pat's All In; still my favorites to this day.
Hopper winning Z Score semis is even more impressive being that he was week 1, right? Will definitely be interesting to see what he can do at the Games. Going to be fun all around!
Brian, do you forget that Brent was 3rd at the games just 2 years ago? Such little faith in him just becauae he was 16th last year. Did well at Egypt, Dubai and WZA this year. Sorry, gotta defend my Canadian guy 😊
Neither Roman nor Justin were rested for the Semis. I think it'll be a major battle between those two and Vellner. Curious why people are thinking Jayson will be so high. Jeff looks strong right now, but I'm worried he is top 5, not top 3. Also, everyone sleeping on Brent-- he's hungrier than ever. Won't win, but podium is a real possibility.
Sara was close this year. Give her 5 more pounds on the snatch and no blow up on 6 and she’s in. I think under Cotler she’ll make it next year(barring injury).
Justin’s semi scores weren’t great but if you take out his 800 meter air runner score he did fine. He destroyed everyone from all the fields on event 6. Probably the best performance of anyone for any event judging by margin of victory. I’m a big Vellner fan but finishing 30th+ in an event is almost a nail in the coffin. Last time a winner had a 30th or worse event was Katrin in 2016. Last year was a short swim so I imagine it’ll be more for distance this year.
Best prediction show ever
I hope John is right on Pat. I bet Pat breaks down if he wins.
Fitwars undercard would be great
Yeah like average box athletes! Would be awesome to have and also show the fitness difference between avg athlete and games athletes.
Johns reaction 45:54 -46:20 needs to be a clip. Classic
Thanks for the recommendation. It’s clipped and now on IG and YT shorts. 🤣
I really felt for John’s frustration with Tyler on Fikowski, best reaction that could have been given 😅 Thanks for the awesome show again!

I adore John Young.
How much did John pay you for this comment?
I'm with you John...I'm on the Vellner train!!!
I loved Fit Wars.

Name of the CrossFit fantasy app? We’ve been playing using excel sheets haha
It’s not been officially published yet. Still in test mode.
Gotcha. Can’t wait
I would take Emma Lawson at 6 and put Amanda Barnhart in the top 5.

Tyler putting Kwant at 12 is absolutely ridiculous lol
I completely agree!
Sara was close this year. Give her 5 more pounds on the snatch and no blow up on 6 and she’s in. I think under Cotler she’ll make it next year(barring injury).
I’d love to see it.
Sara needs to stop switching camps halfway through every year. She's had more coaches than Games appearances at this point...
Tyler’s picks are wildly absurd lol
They redid DT.
Sam Swant at 12?!
Medeiros beat Hopper by 297 points last year. He isn’t winning.
