We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Sunday Night
CrossFit Talk on a Saturday night.
Hope you're here for the
start of college football season.
That's where we're going to
break down the Penn State
West Virginia game.
No, not really.
We are here to talk Masters, Masters,
Masters.
It was day three in Birmingham, Alabama.
It was cut day at the end of
the third event today.
Half the field got cut.
And so a little drama there.
I got to talk to a few
athletes who were done.
Most of the athletes in that
cut area did not expect to
make it beyond that.
And many of them had tears
of joy as of what they
accomplished getting there
and being able to compete again.
at the crossfit games uh and
we got some of that for the
behind the scenes on video
which is really cool and
can't wait to share that so
carolyn you watched the
live stream I was stuck in
the back room most of the
day uh so you're gonna have
to be my eyes and ears as
to what happened on the
floor uh but we had three
events and it started with
the good old standard
Yeah, I mean,
this is a classic CrossFit event,
and it was really fun to watch.
I was so impressed by Will Morad,
who went sub-eight, I think, in that one,
and...
he's just on fire this weekend.
Um,
like this is one I knew he would do well,
but he's also surprised me
like yesterday with the echo bike one.
Like he did,
he's not one of the bigger guys there,
but he obviously has a
great capacity and he's been very,
very impressive this weekend.
Um, on the female side,
I think it was Nizzler if
I'm not mistaken that had won that one.
Let me check that.
We'll check.
It's a safe bet to say she won that one.
Cause she's,
I think she won most things today,
but yeah.
So she won that one just
under sub sub ten.
Like most of the men finish that workout,
about half of the female
finished that one for the
thirty five to thirty nine,
maybe five or six of the
females for the forty to forty five.
And then I think one female finished
with the adjusted reps on,
I think they go to twenty
five reps like in the forty
five to forty nine.
I think it was just Val that
finished that one.
So definitely a little bit
different of a work,
not different of a workout, but.
The men's field just are
finishing most of the
workouts and you're getting
lucky if half of the field
on the woman's side is
finishing some of these workouts.
So.
Some of the time caps have
been a little bit tighter
on the female side for sure.
But that was a fun one to watch.
I would have liked to have
done that event.
I liked that one.
If you're a fan of the show,
our very own Jamie Latimer
definitely did better than
she thought she would do on that event.
She came off the muscle-ups
about a minute ahead of
where her plan was and her practice was.
So with that,
she got the sense that she
had a shot to finish.
Yeah.
So stinking close.
Yeah.
It's like an extra minute
would have made a big difference.
Like there was a lot of females, like,
like in the thirty five to
thirty nine within that,
like eleven to twelve.
And there's some of them just, you know,
they just need another minute extra.
I just felt like that twelve
was just kind of that field
a little bit shy.
But yeah, Jamie got.
Top ten on that one.
Eighth.
Uh, yeah, somewhere in there.
Yeah.
Eighth place.
She was just excited about
her performance there,
that that's what she was talking about.
Um, and we know she's going through it,
like, you know,
her shoulders been taped up all weekend.
And so ring muscle up is not
a move that you want to do
when you have any type of
shoulder issues.
So for her to, you know,
snatch ring muscle up and
then the clean and jerk,
that's a lot on the shoulders.
So yeah, that's,
that's a great finish for her.
Yeah.
And her, her grace look great.
Like really great.
So awesome there.
A lot of people look great.
Val Vobrol has been looking good all day.
Really extended her lead in
the forty five to forty nine.
Andrea Nistler is just what she's doing.
We've talked about last night.
She had a baby in March, mid-March,
and she is obliterating the
expectations of what
postpartum means for some people.
And that is it's crazy.
It's nuts.
It's.
It's not the, it's not the norm.
Definitely not the norm.
Val took a hit on that last
front squat one though.
She's in third place right now.
So actually a Canadian friend,
Deanna Posey is in first place right now.
So.
Yeah, I know Kelly Friel had fallen back.
Well,
Kelly Kelly's in second and Val's in
third.
So.
Kelly was in third, moved up to second.
Deanna moved up to first.
Val drops to third.
But Tamar's workout is a very Val workout.
Yeah, there's still, I mean,
Val's got seven,
thirty six points and Deanna,
who's in first, has seven fifty six.
So you got, you know, twenty points there.
How many events tomorrow?
Two events left.
So still some points.
But yeah,
so it's going to be it's going to
be a good finish.
That's for sure.
CrossFat says,
I think this is a hundred
times more than I've paid
attention to Masters in the
moment compared to any other year.
Same here.
The fact that they're separated,
I've been able to
appreciate all of the
divisions and masters way
more than I would when the
individuals are competing at the games.
I agree.
I think that part is cool if
they wouldn't put the teens
and the masters on at the same weekend.
Yes.
And I'm going to talk about
that a little bit later
because I think there's a
lot of reasons why that needs to change.
Not just,
I think that it's hurting the
sport in some ways.
So CrossFit also asked,
does Andrea make another go
as an Indy next year?
I don't think she ever
wanted to be an Indy athlete.
And she just did this year
for fun because she was having a baby.
Like all this is a surprise to her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
it's hard to know also like
things change every year um
programming wise or just
where you are at in in life
like as her kid gets older
she might you know just
want to be like like even
more involved as like the
baby's able to do more you
know so it's just it's just
hard to know what what
she'll want to do does she
have the ability to to go
individual absolutely like
she's she's stud she's
she's so good so uh it'll
just be where you know what
she wants to do and but
she's crushing it yeah you
mentioned will morad
killing it um the the men
on the forty to forty four
uh jonathan edel I think is
the guy in the lead he won
by ninety seconds wow
that's a big that's a big one
And I think he competed may
have beaten will more ads time.
Jonathan.
Yeah, that's it.
Jonathan.
On which workout?
Uh, the standard.
No, no, I was wrong.
No, he got ten minutes and, uh,
will was sub eight.
So do it.
Okay.
Okay.
No, we'll,
we'll have the top time of the day.
No one,
no one's touching Will's time on
that one.
Yeah.
So I talked to Will today in the back.
I'm not going to say what we talked about.
Cause it's a really good
piece that I want to be in
the behind the scenes.
But man,
what a perspective that dude has
right now.
And it's really cool.
Is he fully healthy right now?
He looks obviously fully healthy,
but does he still have
anything from his hip flexor?
It's something in the hip.
I don't think it's a hundred percent.
Again,
I don't want to give too much away
because he talks about all
of that in the behind the scenes.
Well, he got a twenty fourth on the lift.
So I would assume if
something was to bother him,
it might be like a heavy front squat.
Right.
Anything squatting is is is painful.
Yeah.
So he took a little bit of a
decrease in that workout.
Um, but I mean, he had such a huge lead.
He still has almost a hundred point lead.
Like he has ninety seven
point lead with two events to go.
So he's pulling a Tia going
into the final day right
now is what it's looking like.
Well, there's only one event to go.
He's got it locked up, right?
Like there's only one.
They only have one on Sunday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they've done eight events.
Don't they have ten events?
They did nine today.
Nine was the front squad.
Oh, that's right.
They are nine.
Yeah, one event to go.
So, yeah,
he's Tia Claire to me right now
going into the final event.
Yeah, cool for him.
Like he's been around a long time.
He's put in the work.
So only one event on Sunday?
Like they couldn't have put two there?
Yeah, I don't know.
It's all done at like noon tomorrow.
It's crazy getting people to
stay like an extra night for one event.
So a lot of money.
Yeah.
And I don't know like
logistically how that's
going to work because today
when they didn't have, you know,
we talked about the crowds
kind of being really good
today because not all three
floors were running at the same time.
Like some of the floors were
just overcrowded because
they didn't plan for
that number of people at each floor.
And the stands are so small.
Like they fill up quickly.
And the people had no place
to go when they're only
running two floors.
Yeah.
I mean, the teams tonight,
because they were running
front squats on floor three, maybe one.
I don't know.
And then the main floor with
the big rig was teams.
It was packed over there
just because nobody could
get into where the front squat was.
And tomorrow, with less athletes competing,
maybe they're going to be
watching the event for the
last day so you could see
the most amount of fans tomorrow,
unless some of them go home.
True.
I know a lot of people are
trying to get out of their
hotel room for tomorrow
night so they can start back early.
if I could do that,
I would do it in a heartbeat.
But yeah.
Katie Robbert, Then the second event today,
the eight minute one,
the first thing that caught
my eye was the difference
in the barbells distance.
And
I, as an athlete,
I would think about there's
an advantage at first.
I was like, okay,
there's an advantage on the closer bar.
And then I saw that they
were making them face the other way.
And then we had discussed this privately,
even with Jamie,
that we felt like the
turning around and then
twice turning around on the last burpee,
you had to go over the bar
and then turn and go back to the rig.
Like there was just
differences in half of the
field in terms of the
the timing, um, in a very quick event.
Like this is another event
where most of the men finished and, um,
wasn't the case on the female side.
Like, so again, that quick time cap is, um,
hurting the females more so than,
than the men on here.
But, um,
yeah, that, that one was super fast.
Another fast workout.
Um,
it looked like the transitions played a
factor.
I thought it was interesting
that they allowed the step over,
but if you want to take the
judging out of the picture,
I guess that's what you can do.
Some athletes chose to step over the bar.
The faster athletes were doing, you know,
staying low to the ground
and pushing the burpee pace,
jogging to the pull up bar
for the toaster pull up for
the toaster bars.
Um,
Yeah,
so I felt like that workout was one a
lot on the transitions and
how much you're being
aggressive there and then
just being able to pick up
the barbell right away.
Yeah, watching it live,
forcing someone to turn
twice was not a fair
substitute for a little bit shorter lane.
Just watching it, I'm telling you like,
When someone's faster on the movements,
they should be winning the race.
But because of the transitions,
they were behind.
Yeah.
It's like that one year at
the games when you had the
shoulder to overhead and
differences in the blocks.
And I was like,
this is an advantage for
the people that have the closer block.
And you didn't have to turn
or anything like that.
You could just go.
It was like an extra rep
every time almost.
Not for me because mine sucks.
Just think about it.
Think about coming up from
your burpee and jumping
over the bar and running
straight to the rig versus
jumping up and over, stopping,
turning around,
going back over the bar and
then running to the rig.
That is not equitable to ten feet.
Was it ten feet?
It didn't look like it was ten feet.
I don't know.
I understand what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's something that
It's hard to know running
from the rig and just being
able to pick up the bar.
It was one rep.
So you didn't have to like, it was heavy,
but you didn't have to set up and,
and others had to run, jump the bar,
turn around,
then set up and lift to do
that twice in every round
where the other person gets
to run straight is not
equitable to the distance.
Yeah,
so we ended up saying that the
further bar was actually
more of an advantage than
the closer bar with the two
turnarounds that they had to do.
One on the clean,
one on the last burpee to head back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that was a crazy race.
The other thing that was
tough is because it was so many rounds,
I think it was eight rounds,
A lot of people,
you couldn't tell where they finished.
So from a spectator point of view,
it wasn't awesome.
But when people were finishing,
the race was fun.
And again,
I think it's your point about
the time caps being more appropriate.
Mostly just the female side this weekend.
Like the men has been pretty
much pretty close to fine
the whole way where most of
the field is finishing.
Like you're getting thirty
athletes finishing out of the forty,
which is fine.
But you're getting a lot of
workouts this weekend in
various age groups where
one to eight females are finishing.
Versus thirty something from it,
and I get the women are
competing as the woman, but.
I don't know.
I would like to see more of
the females finish the workouts.
Yeah.
I agree with you.
I think they would have been
more exciting finishes
because they would have
been allowed to finish and
you would have seen the run to the end.
Yeah,
like it sucks always getting time
capped at an event.
Your goal is always to finish the workout.
So when you get time capped
almost every workout,
but you're finishing like twelve,
that's not in a field of forty.
It's not fun.
No.
So then they finished up
with front squat max.
One thing that I found
interesting here is if you missed a lift,
you had to strip the bar to nothing.
before you could re-rack it.
So you couldn't do it just
down to like
one-thirty-five or
one-twenty-five and clean
it up to the bar.
You had to go down to a bare
bar to re-rack it.
Yeah.
I mean, we saw some great numbers.
What impressed me was the
numbers in Jamie's division
of forty to forty-five,
forty to forty-four, sorry,
were better than the
thirty-five to thirty-nines at the top.
That's crazy.
Like you would think with age,
like you're not like,
that shouldn't be a
stronger division than the
one that's younger,
but they had the same top.
And there was more people at
the top with heavier
weights all the way until like.
Seventeenth or nineteenth
place in the thirty five to thirty nine,
so.
sucks for jamie because
she's in a loaded division
that just has crazy
strength um but yeah
impressive numbers on both
the men and female side I
thought paul trombone was
gonna get that four fifty
five there at the end he
was so close like right at
the top and then boom just
dropped it um but yeah
CrossFit says caps without
timing chips stink.
No split times where we end
up with log jams at certain reps.
Yep.
And we had a lot of ties too
for the weights for the
front squats because there
was no like one pounders
and stuff like that.
So sometimes you have six or
seven people at the same
weight with no no tiebreaker on it.
So and
Without the time chips,
it's also hard on the finishes.
You're relying on split seconds.
Like I think I had heard,
I think it was Sean or
Tommy say that Andrea had
lost a couple workouts just
by like not even a second
over the weekend.
And you don't even know,
do you look back on video, maybe like,
Maybe she actually wins.
Like you don't know what
these stopwatches.
That's one of the things I'd
like to see change in the
future is always some sort
of chip system.
And the stopwatch is a backup.
Yep.
That's how it generally is.
The four fifty front squat
and thirty five to thirty
nine by Woodard.
Yeah,
Paul Tremblay tried to top it and
just couldn't finish.
Honestly,
it looked like he had passed his
sticking point, too,
and I thought he was right there,
and then, yeah, just lost it.
So one of the things I
wanted to bring up about
Pitt and Masters going in
the same weekend is,
and I'm not sure people
thought about this,
but you're diluting the
talent pool of the volunteers, right?
So the volunteer judges, you know,
when you're at the games,
even in the old days with
ten in each master's group
and ten in the teen
division and a full games field,
you needed less judges than
you needed just the masters.
Now you add Pitt,
who's expanded their field,
and now you're –
you're outside of your
normal tub of judges and
you're reaching for new people.
And I think that's becoming
more and more evident as
the weekend goes on.
Very inconsistent in some cases.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I know there's a lot of
good judges out there.
And that, you know, when I was,
I hated when people dogged us,
but when you bring it,
we have to bring in a whole
fresh batch that may have
never done it at this level.
Like that's a lot to ask.
It is.
So not only are we diluting
the volunteer pool,
we're diluting the streams.
We're diluting the sponsorships.
like we're diluting so much
of this because they're on
the same weekend.
Yeah.
I was trying to watch the
teens like in between, like, you know,
sometimes I'd be like, Oh, this,
this heat is ahead or like, you know,
in this amount of time I'd
flip over the teens,
rewind quickly to see the, the,
the teens go and then come back and yeah,
you're, you're playing catch up.
You're,
it's just hard to have your
attention and in both comps and,
and try to follow like, like, like,
like we said,
like we're following the
masters right now more than
we've ever done.
Right.
Um,
and I'm sure that we would have
followed the teens if it
was the same weekend.
Right.
If the teens wanted to go
another weekend and we're
going to follow the teens, that's,
I guess that's fine as well,
but both on the same
weekend just doesn't work just too hard.
Like the, the viewership is split in half.
Yeah, Grant, you're late.
And we've already talked
about Will being a beast
and the standard in seven forty.
Crazy.
Try and catch up.
And when you hear the piece
where I talk in the behind the scenes,
you'll see where I talk to him.
The way he talks about it,
you're even going to be more blown away.
He didn't even look tired, though.
Like he just walked to the
finish line and was like, yeah, OK.
I mean,
if you're trying to compare that
standard to the one of the
games in twenty nineteen,
you also can't because his
transitions like the
transitions of the Masters
here are much shorter than
the ones that they had to
do in twenty nineteen.
He was, I think,
in that final in those
final ten athletes of twenty nineteen.
But he had, I think,
a pulled hamstring or something that year,
if I remember.
And I don't know if he got to do it.
I think he was injured, but he had,
he had made it pretty far.
Um, may have had an injury, but the way,
the way the floor was for the,
for the standard back then
you had to move your bar up
every little bit.
Then you had the rigs.
I think he had multiple rigs
and then you had the
snatches at the end where you moved up.
So I think one of the
reasons that you were able
to see some time,
like his time goes sub eight one,
he's fit.
Like he is just,
he's dominating this weekend.
Um,
but having a a smaller floor
so I I think it's hard to
compare but um super
impressive but what's
lacking from it and people
said this forever is like
the crossfit games is great
at telling a story and if
you haven't done that this
floor does not do that
It doesn't tell the story of
the event because it's hard
to follow who's in first.
When barbells don't move for thirty reps,
you have no idea what rep people are on.
That echo bike thing was
awesome if they were at a
counter where you could see.
Grubb at forty eight years old,
eight thirty.
I think his reps are changed, though,
aren't they?
Or is it just the females
that that lowered the reps?
I don't know.
I know that the females,
I think at some point they
go to twenty five reps instead of thirty.
I would have to double check that,
but that's very impressive.
I have it.
Yeah, they had.
So for Grubbs division,
they had twenty five, twenty five.
So a little bit different on
the reps you're losing.
Yeah, some reps there.
Yeah.
That's hard to compare, but yeah.
Yeah,
it's just hard because they got to do
the reps basically on the spot.
So you're just moving for that.
There's no moving of the barbell.
You can't see where you are in the race.
There's nothing at the end
of the lane that gives any indication.
Even on the echo bike yesterday,
that white...
board that they had like you
still couldn't even see on
the stream what number was
placed on it versus like a
colorful thing would have
been more useful I think it
would just help also the
broadcast team too right
like they're like they're
doing their best trying to
figure out who's in the
lead and trying to get the
information probably sent
to them and but they're
making it hard on on the
broadcast team to know
who's in the lead right like
Because first of all,
there's a lot of athletes on the floor,
ten and ten.
You're looking both ways and
you're not seeing any bar progression.
Yeah.
I talked to Tommy a little bit today,
and he was saying that it's
a production they're not
really used to because of all the floors.
And so with that,
they lost a little bit of
the information they get
during a broadcast.
So usually they get stuff
pumped into their ears as
to what's going on.
And I don't think they were
getting that fully this weekend.
So,
because the floors changed and like
Tommy and Lauren would call
one floor and Chase and
Sean were calling another
floor and they couldn't
cross paths or whatever, but yeah.
And that must be difficult to, to,
to call the same workout for hours,
like all the different heats, all like,
even just to have two new people come in,
like with just, cause you could just tell,
like, they're just trying,
they're trying not to
repeat the same thing, but it's hard.
Like it's,
you have all those heats that
need to come through and
you're literally just repeating.
Like it's, it's different.
There's a lot of divisions
for the masters.
Right.
Um,
I actually heard from spectators today.
They actually liked the three floors.
Could they, cause they could watch,
they could switch during
the day back and forth.
And so they weren't sitting
watching the same event
over and over again.
They could run over and
watch event seven and then
watch event eight and then
go back and get a little bit more seven.
And, you know, so yeah.
All right.
Well,
before we go through the leaderboards
and kind of tell who's doing what,
I'm going to show you one
quick clip that I got today
for the behind the scenes,
just to give you kind of a
little preview of what we're looking at.
I thought it was a fun, fun clip.
So here we go.
Hopefully you can hear this.
I can't hear it.
There's no volume on my side.
Oh, shoot.
All right.
So what she's saying there
is those red socks she's
putting on are her game
socks from twenty fourteen
that she was issued back then.
And and she was wearing them
for good luck on the front squat.
And she was wearing her
twenty fifteen lifters that
she got at the games.
Sometimes it's like that.
If you have like a certain
shoe that you are like outfit,
but you can't wear the
outfit and you just feel good.
You had your PR.
You're just trying to get
that energy that you had in that moment.
So, yeah.
And, and she don't,
she's only made the games four times,
but her first couple of
times were fourteen and fifteen.
She made it one other time
and then it's been a while
and she finally made it back.
Four times is a lot.
I want to make it four times.
I mean, yeah.
All right, so let's go ahead.
Again,
we'll start with the women because
they went first all day today.
And their stuff is the most complete.
And hopefully by the time we
get to the end of the men.
Everything's complete.
Okay.
All right,
so we will start with the women.
Sixty-five plus.
And real quick before I read this off.
Um, and this is not the right one.
Seventy plus finished today.
Those athletes were so cool.
They were so excited to be there.
They were just giddy about
being in front of everybody.
And they did the award
ceremony during the break
at the end of the day.
And there were a lot of fans
there cheering them on as
they got their medals.
And I thought that was, uh,
Cooler than the other side of the pillow,
as they say.
Like,
I just thought that was really
awesome that they got to go
up on the podium,
get their medals in front
of this big crowd.
And that was pretty awesome.
So I'm going to try this
again and hopefully grab
the right one this time.
There we go.
All right.
So women, sixty five plus.
I'm going to blow this up.
Patricia McGill, Denise Moore,
our very own, and Julie Holt are one, two,
and three.
Denise Moore did get an
event win today in the front squat,
and she texted me
immediately to tell me she
got it and could not be
more excited for her to get
an event win at the CrossFit Games.
It's looking like that
podium is pretty solidified
for tomorrow's last event.
Yeah,
we have a forty-two point lead for
Julie Holt and over Sue
Lawson for the last podium spot.
One event to go.
Yeah.
So then we go to women sixty
to sixty-five.
Lori Mishiznik.
I talked to her today.
I got how to pronounce her name.
And she told me that it is Mishiznik.
So now I have it.
Betsy Vanderberg.
And then Teresina Orisato.
But Laura's got a pretty
good lead with one event to go.
It's almost four.
It's forty points.
Forty three points.
Betsy has another thirty
points on Teresina.
So I think we're we're set
at top two for sure.
With with with less in the field,
the points are also going
to change tomorrow, I'm assuming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
so this workout is going to
be worth more more
separation between the
points per per finish which
is often a a big factor at
the end of the weekend but
yeah like you said these
they seem to be separated
enough right now you still
could maybe have a little
bit of a change on that two
or three position but plus
lori and betsy are so good
um I don't see them falling
out of the top two
Then we go back to fifty
five to fifty nine.
And we have Joanne Cooper to
you there and Tia Vesser.
This Shanna Bunce is right there with Tia.
That's going to be a battle,
and Rose Wall's even twenty
points away from Tia.
Yeah,
you could definitely see a fight for
that third place.
Joanne, I think,
has it locked up right there in first,
and barring a bad event for number two,
it should be pretty set there.
So Joanne's been on the
podium a couple times,
but I don't think never first,
so this would be a big...
Big win for him.
So Tia Vesser won the games in twenty one,
I think, in the younger division.
And Shanna Bunce won Legends this year.
So both great athletes.
Just not sure they have
enough left to make any move.
Bruce is asking where Jamie is.
Jamie is competing and we're
leaving her alone for the weekend.
So then.
We go to.
Women, fifty to fifty four.
And here we have Janet Black.
Seven forty four.
Jen Dieter, seven forty.
Stephanie China, seven twenty six.
Even seven twenty one.
It's close.
It's this one's going to be
a battle tomorrow.
There's there's there can
certainly be some changes
in positioning at the top
of the podium tomorrow there.
Jen Dieter won Legends last year.
Janet Black, I'm not as familiar with,
but man, this is close.
She's been around.
Both great athletes.
Then we go to forty five to forty nine.
We talked about this a little bit.
Deanna Posey, seven fifty six.
Kelly Friel, seven fifty three.
Val Vogel, seven thirty six.
Deanna and Kelly are more of
a power output type athlete,
where Val is more gymnastics-y.
So I think that this has
been a shuffled leaderboard
all weekend long,
primarily with those three.
And tomorrow,
I feel like the bar muscle-up
will play a bigger factor
than the dumbbell thruster.
For the female,
like being able to do that last,
unbroken for instance, um,
versus the dumbbell weight.
Um, yeah, this is,
you can tell in the older divisions,
the muscle up on the
standard really made a big
difference more so than the barbell.
Yeah.
So I think the same will
probably come into play here.
Then we go to the forty to
forty four year old division.
where Carly Newlands has
kind of taken command of
this and she's already locked up the win.
Andrea Pinheiro at six, eight,
one Janine Shillington at six, sixty nine,
Carly Matthews at six, fifty nine.
And then our very own Jamie
Latimer is in sixth at six, twenty nine.
Yeah, she had a.
uh, low finish on the front squat.
She would have been right up there.
Um, normally, but yeah,
she was in the top four all
weekend until that front squat.
Yeah.
She took a hit.
Like we said,
that division had some huge
powerhouses like, uh,
Janine had two eighty five
for a front squat,
which was the same winning
weight in the thirty five
to thirty nine division.
Like that's just a great, great,
great front squat.
So that propelled her.
Definitely up the leaderboard.
Yeah,
Carleen Matthews is someone else
that's been very relevant all weekend,
and she also took a hit in
the front squat event.
So that front squat's very top.
Even like Will Morad, same thing.
A lot of those top athletes
sometimes aren't the strongest,
and some of them got really
hit with some specialists in this one.
Yeah,
I think that Carlene and Jamie will
probably do better on that
event tomorrow than the
people ahead of them.
I just don't know if there's enough time,
middling,
and space to make a difference
on the leaderboard.
Exactly, yeah.
So then we go to... ...and
this is the Andrea Nistler show.
There she is.
Caroline Klutz...
Has a shot, but it's more like that.
Not on that workout for tomorrow.
There's a chance.
No, there isn't.
That's like you before the
game saying that everyone
had a chance with Tia.
Okay.
Touche.
Touche.
This one's locked in.
Andrea,
with a fifty pound dumbbell thruster,
you're looking at one of the strongest,
if not the strongest in the field.
Plus, she's got phenomenal gymnastics.
Like,
this is probably another win for Andrea.
Caroline Klutz is an amazing athlete.
She really is.
Andrea Nistler's doing this
to her is ridiculous.
Yeah, I've been very impressed with her.
Mackenzie Riley has jumped
up into the podium position.
Again, if you don't know,
she has multiple time games athlete.
No joke.
This division is crazy.
And mother of two.
She has kids with her here doing it all.
It's, it's amazing.
All right, so let's go to the men.
I would think that the same
people that did well on the
standard will do well on
the one tomorrow.
Like you got ring muscle-ups
and bar muscle-ups,
and then you have a
dumbbell thruster versus
the clean and jerk or snatch.
Like it's very, very similar.
It's going to be maybe a
little bit more of a sprint, but yeah.
Yeah,
in the sixty five plus we have John
George, Freddie Cherry, Dan Brannigan,
John George and Freddie
Cherry have been at the top
the entire weekend.
Dan Brannigan's a new one.
David Hippenstiel has made a
move today and Dan Miller
fell back a little bit.
Yeah,
you're going to have a fight for that
third place.
And if you move up a little bit,
those two in the top two or
three points separating.
So whoever wins that last one.
Yeah.
I had a long talk with David
Hippenstiel today.
This may be his last games.
So he said he thought he announced it,
but he said, because I probably said,
I thought people aren't believing me.
In the sixty to sixty four division,
Joe Ames is in first, David Pound second,
Tom family in third.
I think the top two are the
same as last night.
Tom jumped from fourth to
third and he's just a good guy.
Glad to see him up there.
But it's still tight.
Anybody could move up into
the podium position,
especially Stuart Swanson
is only twelve points back.
Yeah, it's not much.
When we go to fifty five to fifty nine,
John Kim, Vic McQuaid, Mike Egan.
Again,
the first two have been in here all
weekend.
Shannon McKibben was in the
top three and has dropped down.
But again,
it is a nine point lead for him
to get back onto the podium.
Fifty to fifty four.
Jamie McGarva, Sean Ramirez,
Justin Lasala.
These names have kind of been here.
Sean jumped from fourth to
second with one event to go.
But Jamie's been there all weekend.
But he only has a nine-point lead.
And the other two are tied
for second and third.
Those are very, very close.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So then we go forty to forty nine.
Jason Grubb in first,
Robbie McCord in second,
Robbie Perovich in third.
Jason has not been in first all weekend.
He's finally there going
into the last event.
He talked to me today, too,
and like because the field is expanded,
like mistakes are amplified
and it's something that
they have not had to deal
with as Masters athletes before.
One mistake and you can drop
to twenty seventh.
Like in years past,
the furthest you could drop is tenth.
You also have room for a
little bit more specialists
sometimes that have more holes.
We can talk about it when we
get to someone like Paul Tremblay,
who gets, you know,
yin and yang type of workouts,
but you get that right with
the with an expanded field
where some some of those
athletes sometimes have.
great finishes and then
lower finishes and they
just middle you a little bit sometimes.
Then forty to forty four,
we have Jonathan Edel,
Chicho Quesada and Julian Serna.
Serna and Edel have been
going back all week,
go back and forth all weekend.
Chicho has been consistently
in that top three,
but I don't think he's
taken the lead yet.
So that's where we sit with that one.
And then the thirty five to thirty nine,
we've talked about will a
ton straight up savage.
He would have to not show.
And then Henry would have to win.
Mm hmm.
for that to happen.
Henry Matthews,
Stephanie Cosette is in
third and Stefan and
Bronislaw Alinkowitz is in
fourth with only seven
points behind Stefan.
I met Bron today for the
first time ever in person.
The man's head is bigger than my chest.
He is
A massive human being and so funny.
So he, we talked about,
I think I talked about with somebody,
he shaved off his hair.
He used to have the little
man bun kind of top thing.
And I asked him today,
like why he shaved it.
And he said, uh,
to make me faster on the
run and it didn't work.
And I just cracked up.
I thought that was hilarious, but.
The man can still Turkish
get up an assault bike, right?
Oh yeah.
So those are the
leaderboards going into the last day.
We have a couple battles
going on that are going to
be fun to watch.
I think tomorrow the action
is going to be much faster
and furious with less heats
or less people in the heats
where you could actually see more.
I don't know if they're
changing the floor.
I hope they change the floor tomorrow.
I doubt it.
I think they'll just do one heat,
but I don't think the
layout will change much.
Sadly.
It's a quick one tomorrow.
Eight minute time cap again.
Yeah.
How many workouts have been
at that time cap?
Like short time cap.
It's.
been fun but it's going to
be a race it's going to be
hopefully we can see who's
in the lead and stuff like
the workouts are like
they're they're great
workouts it's just you
can't see the race as much
that's the only issue um
yeah I'm excited to see the
last day yeah yeah I'm
gonna I need to keep my
mouth shut before the end
of the weekend is over like I just do
With that being said, it's been fun.
There's been a lot of people there.
It's just a different vibe
than I've ever experienced
at the CrossFit Games.
And to have this many
top-level Masters athletes
have been super cool.
And they have great stories.
And it's very family friendly.
Like there are kids running around,
there are dogs there.
It's just a really good time
for families to kind of hang out.
I think that's what I like the most.
Like I love seeing, you know, the masters.
And then there was a video on, um,
at that cross at post.
And it was like these little
kids cheering for, I don't know,
their grandpa, something,
maybe it's their dad,
but probably their grandpa
doing the workout.
And it's just like the kids
being so excited to watch, you know,
their parent or grandparent compete.
Um, that's what it's all about.
It's super cute.
It's like you said, it's family.
It's,
um these are you know role
models in our community for
what can be done at that
age um and what's possible
so it's yeah I've I've
really enjoyed watching this weekend
Yeah, it's been a blast.
I got to know a lot of people,
get to know a lot of people,
and that's been fun.
But I'm whooped,
and I'm going to keep tonight short.
So with that, thank you, everybody,
for being here.
Don't forget to like, subscribe,
hit that notifier,
leave some comments about
what you think about the
Masters coverage.
We'd love to hear you.
There were some appearances today.
Don Fall did show up today.
I got to talk to Sean Woodland,
which was awesome.
And he is really feeling the
love from the community
that he is back and was
talking about how good that
has made him feel.
And I said, yeah,
everybody needs to remember,
you don't know what you got
till it's gone.
Absolutely.
And then when it's gone, you want it back.
But he's doing awesome and
really having a good time
with it and really excited
for Rams football to start up in a week.
So with that,
we'll see everybody next time
on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
And maybe it'll actually be
on a Sunday night.
With that, we'll see you guys.
Bye.
