re: 2016 CrossFit Games Thread

Lauren Fisher needs to step it up

Lauren Fisher did win the 2016 California Regional. Next to the Meridian and East, California was probably the most-competitive female regional field. That said, one could argue that her relative fame (she's the only female Crossfitter with a Nike endorsement deal and even appeared in the "Snow Day" commercial) is primarily attributable to her potential and good looks rather than her actual accomplishments. She's a very cute American who isn't built like a fullback - that makes her more marketable than many other athletes like the Dottirs, CLB, Kara Webb, etc.

Sara Dottir is a Nike girl now too, nike features her more than they do LF as of late.

These games are always so crazy to me. Some of the events just look so indescribably difficult, to the point I know I'd never even come close, and then others just look so eh.

I have zero doubt I could destroy this Climbing Snail event, no doubt whatsoever. It's shocking to me some of these guys couldn't complete rope climbes.

sick finish on that DBall clean between Toomy, Wells and the Dottirs

Yep sure did.

Fraser will take men but any guesses on women? I'm pulling for Toomey

Uh oh. Davidsdottir looks hurt.

Probably burned out their arms on the first part of the event. I can't imagine the level of soreness they go through as the events go on

Touche, and there's just no way to simulate this for the average person. I imagine more than anything it's their grips. Their hands must be destroyed by the end of the Games.
