Sprint Couplet - Individual Men Event 4 - 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games

12:51 = Heat 2

[@Dadplod]

I wonder if the fans with the spray had anything to do with the quicker lanes?

Noah is the Leo of Crossfit lol

The biggest factor in people's performance in this event was there lane assignment. Certain lanes were very fast and others were very slow. Definitely not fair.

[@jdsmith99]

It *did* seem like something was up with the lanes or the sleds, didn't it? Could be a coincidence, tho. Two other coincidental things: #1 the points distrib for 40 person events was "worse" than the 50 person or 20 person events. i.e., if you finished middle-of-the-pack/25th in a 50 person event, you were 48 pts behind the #1 finisher; if you finished 20th in a 40 person event, you were 57 pts behind the #1 finisher; if you finished 10th in a 20 person event, you were 45 points behind the #1 finisher. So you "lost" between 9 and 15 points for finishing in approx the same, relative, position in a 40 person event. btw, a 30 person event was also a "bad" event for points distrib; 15th place was 54 points less than 1st place. #2 this was a "fast", sub two-minute event...a 3-4 sec diff in time moved you up/down ~10 places. Same with Event 6 (Sprint); a one-second diff cost you a lot of points.

[@ptf55]

@@jdsmith99 Interesting about the points. Re the sled push...if you look at all 4 heats...2 men and 2 women...and you look at how each lane did...it's pretty much mathematically impossible that it was coincidence. For example, lane 2 had heat finishes of 1 (McLeod), Sager (6), Fotsch (2), Helgadottir (8). Lane 8 had finishes of 37 (Koski), 35 (Vellner), 39 (Beamer), Wells (23). It's big a disparity. Noah's lane 7 was fast...3 (Moorad), 2 Ohlsen, 20 Hellman, Barnhart (1). Lane 10 was only the 13 fastest out of 20 even though it had both Mat Fraser and Tia Toomey in it. These artificial turf fields have sections which are worn down...or matted down...so the resistance is not even across the field. That's my theory anyway.

[@jdsmith99]

​@@ptf55 I love math. You're right; that does seem like more than coincidence (the one thing that runs counter: most of the folks who finished fast in the sled - McLeod, Helgadottir, Ohlsen, Moorad, Sager - also finished well in Sprint; the folks who finished slow in sled also finished slow in Sprint. It's not a perfect fit, though. A bunch of people that ran the sled did NOT run the Sprint, and some of the top finishers in Sprint didn't finish great in sled, so hard to tell if it's a correlation or coincidence...). And if it wasn't the lane, maybe something was diff about those two sleds?

Mat with the redemption in 2020. Something was off in this event.

Did she really ask how do you prepare for something you don't know is coming?

[@Gaiartemis]

Was lane 7 have 1st place in both heats???

[@ScottLRoyal]

Sean Woodland (and I love you buddy) should do a 100 burpee PENALTY for his candor at 18:24 - 18:36.

I’m so surprised! Wow

[@miggipacheco2521]

Is it just me but i saw athletes wearing cleats, i think they took the initiative to have an advantage on this event over others that wore shoes with less traction. Just my observation

[@alan181090]

All they are able to wear it.. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@lizzerdlegz2732]

Where's hunter ? Was he not invited to the xfit games ?

LizzerdLegz27 I think he didn’t make the cut so didn’t move on today.

Crossfit is more popular than Korean soccer league.

this shit is hard af

[@camerongray7767]

Those lanes were all perfectly fair and the exact same conditions for all athletes. No lanes were faster that’s for sure

[@alan181090]

Wrong, the giant fans with water spray afected some lanes making it fasters

Why wouldn't Matt be the one to talk after the even? Noah ohlsen is the man and everything but give the winner his time for fame too!!

[@Alex-zb7oz]

He got interviewed after heat 1

[@whiteboy6550]

Why wouldnt you interview the person that won the event? Dumb question.

[@aarong2660]

I didn't see the interview before hand. I must have missed it

They've ***ked by this complex, their legs, I think, feel a really pain

The sled favors people with a lower center of gravity...mccloud had an unfair advantage
