I like Pat’s questions better than Dave’s. Pat’s the only OG guy (I’ve not watched all of the interviews) who’s said CHAD sounds BORING directly to Dave. Actually said “Did you run out of ideas?”. Dave responded with that wry smile so I’m more intrigued than ever. Hope this event has either (1) great media to tell me stories and profiles to keep me dialed in when people are just….stepping or (2) there is a twist that makes this test more exciting.

Pat is an intelligent person, in response to Vellner's question about whether he doesn't watch other events to avoid copying the workouts or ideas and to "stay fresh," Castro replies, "Yes, of course, I have 20 years of experience, blah blah blah... In any other major sport, the organizers and regulations are constantly evolving: Rugby, Soccer, Basketball, F1, Boxing, etc." I love how this "innocent" question from Vellner really exposes the recalcitrant side of Castro.

To sum up Pat Vellners' interview was the most 'professional crossfit' vibes.There is a difference between the OGs and the new era for sure.We'll never get those vibes again.
@justine6794Ай бұрын
Funny you call someone going to the games for the first time in 2016 (or 2017) an OG - there is nearly 10 years in between that and the first games. I would argue get some of the newer generation of athletes to a point in life where Vellner is now and you might have a different opinion
@bill7bill1Ай бұрын
@@justine6794 his first Crossfit Games was at 2015.We dont call OGs only those who literally started something.But my point was that he knows and thinks of Crossfit in a quite different way than most of the new gens Crossfit athletes.

I see what Pat did here maybe unintentionally. Dave has expressed that he wants games athletes to get more involved with CrossFit outside of the Games , get their level 1, be part of affiliates , etc. But just like Dave needing to disconnect from CrossFit, so do Games Athletes. Live and let live.

Dave is just plotting off of all this information he’s receiving- especially Vellner. I’d like to call that he’s going to reverse the order of heats at the games that way the more “elite” athletes lose that advantage of knowing what they need to do.
@luislopez631514 күн бұрын
Definitely feel like Pat Vellner, just likes to complain about things without looking at the whole picture. I agree that things in life should be fair especially in competition but unfortunately no professional sport is perfect especially with judges. Like I understand the complaining but just quit or do your own thing. I know easier said than done but others have done it.
