Still waiting to see.

Indy Mens H1 is 15 min behind.

Heat 1 has a bunch of no-name National Champs from around the world. I think there are 150 Men & Women in this E1. The announcer is struggling with some of these Middle Eastern names. 40 in each heat. 5 minutes to read off the heat participants.

Ben Smith is in this heat and his shirtless. Easy to spot. I was about to hit the noon class. Guess I'm watching this and hitting the 3pm class.

Actually 50 athletes in this heat.

4RFT
400M Run
3 Legless Rope Climbs
7 Squat snatches at 185

One dude could barely do 1 legless climb. He ain't getting to the barbell at all.

Yea, Hunter seems like a stronger runner than most of these which fits. Fikowski does not look like himself

Hunter will smoke these fools until the snatches. I doubt he advances.

Fikowski will do well in this event. The dude can run, he has an advantage on the climbs and he can snatch 300+.

Several usual CF Games athletes in this heat
Fikowski
Newbury
Moorad

..and Hunter who is leading the 1st run.

Fikowski in the Top 15-20 in R1. He will make up spots every round.

Reebok has all of the apparel on the site. looks like I'll be stocking up on shorts.

Final Heat is going. Looks like 146 or so Men started the day.

Tons of Games experience in this heat. Finally get to see Heppner back in the games since 2016. Injured in 2017 and BS HSPU standard last year.

Vellner is struggling in R3 as he fails multiple 185 snatches while Fraser is crushing the field as usual. Chandler Smith in 2nd in this heat thru 3 rounds.

Fraser was 1:10 faster than 2nd in this event.

Chandler Smith finishes 2nd in the event.

Something like this was the T10.

B. Smith proving he is healthy and deserving and Chandler Smith coming out hot with a 2nd place.

He probably did better than the other 49 people in Ben Smith's heat, but he would have to beat an additional 20 more.

I think he does.

BTW, Reebok CODE: SCHOOL is 40% everything on the site. I just picked up 3 pairs of 2019 CFG shorts at 40% off.

Man.. Horvath still looks THICK.

She will crash and burn on any deficit HSPUs just like she did at the Rogue Invitational.

Whoever is her dietician should have been fired after the Rogue Invitational. She needs to be at least 5-10lbs lighter; maybe 15-20.

And she’s only like 24

It’s just going to get harder for her. That Eastern European diet she grew up with isn’t going to help

A strong thick girl with an on point diet is my bae kelsey kiel
