Lauren. Hair and lipstick game are STRONG today!!!

[@angelacole4411]

I think a possible variation of the sandbag event from the 2015 CrossFit games!

I did a version of a half Chad yesterday after the class workout in the heat. 500 step-ups to a 24” box but only with a 20 lb. vest. It took me almost as long as a full Chad. That taller box was brutal.

[@mistameanor1]

Musical boxes?

[@annafiddler371]

It’s gonna narrow down on competitors!

[@CliveBixby0214]

Not knowing if Iceland is in Europe should negate all of Paulson’s points 😂

[@dougsalmon1563]

How about rest periods between a given number of reps. There would be a stop watch used for the rest period(s).

[@dougsalmon1563]

Red Bull. Te professional ski circuit. Lindsay Vaughn, others.

[@darrendelitizia6292]

The twist is going to be:
Athletes need to do 10 db push presses every 4 minutes. Men 70#, woman 50#.

[@Craig-pk5cc]

Ice land & Netherlands have high cost of living actually some of the highest in Europe.
I think France or Uk .
Get Red Bull as a title sponsor but as normal the affiliates will moan like they did when Monster got involved in the sport.
I personally can’t wait for the sport & affiliates to separate more !!

[@dougsalmon1563]

Do we know where the 2025 games location is? Thanks.

[@jessm96297]

They signed a 3 year deal with Fort Worth

[@shannonschleifer8602]

We need 40 in the field. Otherwise we will stop bringing in new athletes. Also we need 40 because there will be more disrupters on the leaderboard which creates separation.

[@toddbryan959]

Okay. Brings James in, but don’t give him any context. “What say you James?” And see how he riffs.

[@kweiler157]

All of the athletes urine
