I'm not a crossfit fan boy but I won't say that. I know some of the top guys/ladies have some legit T&F experience. That said, I would imagine every national level decathlete or heptathlete would wreck crossfit if they ever really trained for it.

No they wouldn't. It takes years to gain the strength to be competitive with stronger athletes. Just because they are good athletes doesn't mean theyre strong. They would crush the rowing and swimming events, but they would get dusted in any events having to do with strength like Murph, clean and jerk ladder, fireman's carry, etc.
Event 5 from last year for example - Heavy DT
5 rounds of:
12 deadlifts
9 cleans
6 push jerks
There is way more barbell training in crossfit vs athletic training. Decathletes wouldn't be able to take advantage of their athleticism.
