Re: 2017 Games thread
I think it's just one-way for the individuals. They run several heats like a tournament bracket. In each heat the top three athletes advance to the next round. After all heats have run, then next four fastest times of all non-qualifiers will be added to the qualifiers. Kind of like they did the last time there was an obstacle course. If they did down and back multiple times, that would really drag out the event. I think they're looking for it to be more of an all-out charge.

Basically they have bales stacked 3 high I believe, so about up to your chest/neck. You pick up the sand bag (looks like a big ball or lump), throw it over the bales, then burpee and jump over the bales. Repeat for 11 total reps. |

Re: 2017 Games thread
What is a hay bale clean burpee? Hay bale = sand bag?
The MU clean is going to get heavy for most anyone. A few years ago 2012 only 3 guys did 350 or better.. amazing to see how far it has come in oly. Bike race.. just going to be how fast someone can go with a good pace. Some will go out too fast and die. I love the O coarse.. seeing the athletics of the peeps will be fun. Triple G with the 20 reps overhead with the 100's for the men.. after all of the midline stuff.. big ask. |

Re: 2017 Games thread
Are all the events announced now? Not sure how I feel about that if so. I really like the surprise aspect of past games.

Re: 2017 Games thread
No. Castro said there were some he wouldn't announce until the day they do them. I believe one more on Saturday, and at least the finals WOD on Sunday. Right now there is only 2 WOD's for Saturday and 1 on Sunday. Last year there were 2 on Sat and 5 on Sunday (although 3 of those were short sprint work outs).

Re: 2017 Games thread
Josh Bridges in second to last place after 2 events. Really shocked by his terrible showing in event 1.
