Lol the irony they never gave any attention on Mat Fraser even for a second despite taking third place in the heat. No one knew back then this guy is going to be the goat
They expected good things even this year, he has a great background, on the first day of the competition, the commentators were talking about him a lot and about how he is going to do great things in crossfit. It isn't an insult to the athlete, they are just only supposed to cover 1st and 2nd place, which they did. Same thing happens with Tia in 2005, the difference is nobody was talking about her ability at all, she is the perfect example of your point, with Matts weightlifting background he was always seen as the next big thing.
It amazes me how many people watch these videos just to put down the athletes. Personally, I am not a fan of soccer so I don't watch those videos, but I respect what the soccer players do and I don't go to the videos and hate on them. Anonymity on here hides so many insecurities.
just bitter little people who have nothing better going on in their lives. I typically watch the Olympics and that is it, recently got into this and just think its brilliant. I would never do it because I know I don't have what it takes to be this focussed.
+gnemick doing a 100m dash or 50m swim isn't Crossfit though. If they were interested in that they would be in Track or swimming.. these are combined events. You're comparing apples to oranges.
+gnemick i did track.. this is ridiculously harden than a 100m sprint, are you serious? maybe a 400m sprint would wipe them out, but a 100 vs this plus a carry back.. no
+gnemick judging by this comment you don't understand energy systems at all. This is pure ANAEROBIC lactic ENDURANCE. Not power. Different systems bud.
Where are the barbells? The worst mistake Froning ever made was telling Castro he hates running. It's almost like Castro has Froning-proofed these games by putting running in almost every event. Extremely boring to watch this year.
i don't agree. these guys are simply getting to big. Running is crucial to be fit overall. As much as i like Rich. You can't be fittes on the planet when 5miles run kills you : ).

I couldn't even run 600 yards this fast without having to carry that heavy shit

It's not a sprint. . . at all! It's actually a lot more aerobic than anaerobic. Have them do a 100m dash or 50m swim for a true test of power.
gnemick Jack of all trades, master of none

Citroen Hy True, you could argue that Rich looked far more out of shape running than the others.
