 No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Would he waltz into the crossfit games and win? WOULD HE f**k. However, there is an argument to be made that a top of the top level Olympic lifter is exactly the kind of person who could do what is necessary to win the crossfit games. There's probably not many sports at all that he couldn't excel at if the focus and direction had been shifted towards them. He wouldn't win right now, not a chance, but if he focussed on it for the next 2-3 years? You'd surely expect someone like that to do very well would you not? | ||

 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | it'll be interesting to see if other chinese people dont end up in crossfit, or what happens when crossfit is taken to china. There must be a whole lot of people who went through sports/GPP schooling and those who were good but not excellent enough at specific sports to get medals at things. You see this in crossfit already, loads of ex-athletes, often who were mediocre at their sport doing well. You will have more of these people in China & Russia I imagine. | ||
