Fraser & Toomey will take first barring an injury.

Men: Fraser, Heppner, Fikowski
Women: Toomey, Thorisdottir, Davisdottir

I hope to watch the shite-show in the first event with some of these obscure country champs getting steamrolled.

What a terrible event from all standpoints

Fikowski and thorisdottir for second but I really think thorisdottir can beat Toomey.

Matt has reached the same status as rich to me and is unbeatable at this point unless he screws something up bad.

didn't he beat Fraser in an event earlier this year?

Fraser has been talking about how he is only really preparing for the games to save wear and tear on the body. He was actually pissed last year when he won the open. His goal is just to make it to the games and be prepared for them.

So I don't put much stock in vellner beating him

well I'm sure most of the top athletes probably have the same approach as Fraser, but I get your point

The only one who trains similar to Fraser is Heppner but he has one limitation: overall strength.

He’s only competed in 1 event over the last 2 years.

yeah and all it did was piss off Fraser.. he might dominate the field even more than previous years. Fraser is a driven SOB.

I think Vellner or Sager for 2nd.

Sigmundsdottir looked pretty legit at the Rogue Invitational. Just hard to tell if they were peaking then and have fallen off.

Event 1 begins at 11:00 on Aug 1st and lasts 90 minutes
YouTube and Games.CrossFit.com seem to be the place to watch it

Thursday
•Everything on Thursday is in North Park.
•Opening Ceremony kicks off Thursday at 9:00 as previously reported and will last one hour in North Park.
•Event 1 begins at 11:00 and lasts 90 minutes. This is likely the individual men or women. Another event, probably the other half of individuals, begins at 12:45 and is also 90 minutes.
•The next event begins at 3:15 and is an hour. We are guessing this is Event 1 for teams.
•There are two more events Thursday afternoon that are just 30 minutes each beginning at 4:30. Again, these are most likely the individual men and women competing.
•Based on the events, it appears the Teens and Masters may not compete on Thursday.
•Day 1 ends at 5:30.

Friday
•Friday starts early at 8:00, before the times listed on the daily schedule. This is the busiest day of the weekend.
•Most of the events are in North Park.
•There are three events in the Zevia Age Group Pavilion. Teens and Masters should expect only three events in this pavilion, based on the timing of the events.
•There are only two events listed in the Coliseum for Friday, beginning at 3:45.

Saturday
•Events begin at 10:00 in both the Zevia Age Group Pavilion and in North Park.
•Only two events are in the Age Group Pavilion.
•The afternoon features two 2.5-hour events in North Park. At the same time are four events in the Coliseum.
•With individuals and teams not overlapping, it appears that this might be when we see the Teens and Masters in the Coliseum for an event.

Sunday
•There is very little information on the schedule for Sunday.
•Yesterday, we reported that there is probably going to be a water event near Lake Monona beginning at 9:00. There is nothing on the app’s schedule reflecting this yet.
•The only thing on the schedule for Sunday is the Teens and Masters award ceremony in North Park at 2:30

This was pulled off of barbell spin web site.

I like Sara.

I met her at Wodapalooza and have a picture with her somewhere, but she’s tall; very close to 5-9/5-10, which is tall for the women’s side.

..and as we see with the men, tall athletes typically have a tougher time than the shorter athletes.

I like Heppner for second and I also like Chandler Smith as a dark horse (pun intended).

Heppner trains like crazy but I do wonder if all the other athletes train just as hard and he’s just more transparent about his training.

Yes. Can’t wait to watch needless amounts of power cleans and deadlifts with shite form.
