CrossFit Games

Does anyone here follow CrossFit and the Games? The athletes are gathering in Madison, WI as we speak.

I'm hoping Sara Sigmundsdottir will win and someone will beat Mat Fraser. The women's competitions are always a battle. The point spread for the top three has been tight. The winner had 994 points, second place had 992 points and third had 964.

On the men's side the winner had 1132 points, second place had 916 and third had 792. I want Josh Bridges to unseat Fraser from the top but I don't know that anyone can beat Fraser. No one could beat Rich Froning. The only reason Fraser wins now is because Froning stopped competing in individuals. It's possible Fraser could beat Froning now but we'll never know.

I never really paid attention to it all until I watched the 2008 Games on Netflix back in 2016. It got me interested and we started to follow it. We watched the Games last year and found it to be pretty interesting. I like the idea of functional fitness. Hopefully next year I can get back into the gym and start getting conditioned and fit again. Just have to get through and recover from surgery I'll hopefully be scheduled for soon.
