Looks like a cracked rib or something

She posted a picture of some pretty bad bruising

Basically said on Friday she was loading on pain killers

Looks like it will take a couple epic disasters for Fraser and Toomey not to win it again. While I respect what they are doing, just wish it was a lot closer.

Yeah. She looks great for a 1st year Games Athlete and she’s only 21.

Expect her to be a fixture moving forward.

You would think they would be ready for it since it first appeared at the Games in 2015.

What was up with Castro’s shirt? GFY?


Let’s also discuss the “non use” of PEDs? Ohlsen looks like he put on 30 lbs of muscle this year. It didn’t look like it helped much.

I think GFY is Chyna Cho’s gym or one she affiliated with.

Stands for Good for You Crossfit

Nah. Ohlsen has looked like that for the last 3-4 years. He’s just not making the next jump to Top 5 in the Games. I weigh 5lbs more than him at 195, but he’s 5-7 and ripped, which makes him look huge.

He may win home field events like Wodapalooza (his team was 2nd this last year) but the individual entrees aren’t as elite as they once were in Miami. I don’t think any Games athletes on the Men’s side competed there. Most all went the team route. Several women from the Games were there, though, with Davidsdottir winning it in Jan.

Still can’t climb the fricking peg board. She should come over one day and let me teach her.

a friend of mine i grew up with who is a nutrition coach for some games competitors and other pro athletes, pretty much said on someone's pod cast that last year word in the rumor mill was she was focusing more on aesthetics than performance.

Jumped ship to the Meridian Regional, saying it was because she moved over there with her boyfriend (Rasmus Anderson), when everyone else knows it was because she had zero shot of making the Games out of the West Regional.

Why is Fraser so much better than everyone else?

Why was Froning?

Is there something specific about CrossFit that makes it where one guy can dominate so thoroughly?

It was something the way he destroyed the field in that last event.

Fraser is just the perfect combination. His background is Olympic lifting and the violent hip extension carried over to his gymnastics. His cardio is nearly unmatched, too.

His worst event was the row where he was 11th, but since he’s a few inches taller than midget status, I’ll give him a pass there. His 2nd worst event was Chaos and it had Box Jumps at 42”, which also slowed him down due to his near midget status. Castro will have to go to 45” Box Jumps to stop him.

I’m going to go back and compare Froning’s 12-9-6 Snatch/MU time with Fraser’s. Rich went unbroken on the MUs.

I wonder how Froning would do If he dedicated a year to individual training and gave it another run.

I like Froning, seems like an all around good dude.
