I know people are saying BKG is slipping I think mostly cause of his semis performance the last couple of years but tbf he literally didn’t do one of the events last year and he still tied for 10th that many years in the top 10 I guess it has to end sometime but I wouldn’t be so quick to count him out when it gets to the games

I think you guys are massively overhyping grace walton I like her but she came 15th at WZA and that’s with the points from an event win in the swim and we know that that wasn’t a games caliber field especially on the women’s side if you’re coming 15th there with that competition I’d expect mid to low 20s for the games. It reminds me of Ellie turner back in 21 she wins back to back event at WZA and then makes it to the games her first time with Kara in the field and 3 spots people really hyping her up but then places 26th still good for a rookie - I know you’ll say they’re different athletes and I agree but I do think it’ll be difficult for grace to make the top 20 imo.

For reasons unknown, YT isn't posting my response to Dallin's reply to my original comment. So I'm posting it here, in the hope it actually goes up. You're absolutely right, Dallin. If you (and people like you) say nothing, nothing will change. And, I find it difficult to believe a man capable of working as hard as you are, is also the kind of man to essentially say, "There's nothing I can do, so why try?" Why not say, "I don't like the cuts because it corrupts the test. But, I'm training to make that corruption irrelevant."? Frankly, I hope you do make the cuts irrelevant...by taking the title by too many points for the scoring tables to matter. I say that not only as fan of yours, but as someone who wants an honest and accurate answer to the question, "Who's the Fittest Man on Earth?" (Incidentally, the part regarding "mathematical literacy" was a general statement intended for the people who say they like the cuts because of the "drama" they inject. It was not directed at you. I should have written that more clearly. My apologies.)

That’s a reasonable response for sure. I definitely could’ve included that these conversations are being had by PFAA and it’s members (including me). I also should clarify that it is at this specific point of the 2024 Games season I cannot care about cuts because they are coming and that won’t change anything in my preparation. Good questions and good conversation

If Dallin understood the math, he'd care about the cuts. Not because they jeopardize his ability to make the final day, but because the final day events mean more in terms of relative placing (due to adjusted scoring tables). For example, it is perfectly plausible that his best events happen before the cuts, while the later events favor his closest competitors. In that scenario, he could beat them in overall placings through the week but lose podium position because the point gap between placements in the post-cut events gave his closest competitors the edge in total score. Whether this effect helps him or hurts him, if he understood it, he'd care. The fact is cuts have a multivariate impact that compromises the integrity of the test. They inject an outcome fragility external to the test itself, which deligitimizes the title and diminishes The Games. If you like cuts, fine...just admit you care more about the "show" than you do about finding out who is actually "The Fittest on Earth." (Either that, or you're mathematically illiterate.)

Based on this I would call into the category of watching it for the show. With that said, we still call the winner of the NCAA basketball tournament the national champion even if it’s an upset. Same for any sport with a playoff. In CrossFit’s case we are crowing the world champion, or “Fittest on Earth”, based on the format with cuts.
@theunknown2352 3 күн бұрын
@thebarbellspin An "upset" just means the expected winner didn't win. With the cuts (as currently instantiated), we can juggle a few event orders and get a different "winner" for no reason other than the impact of reweighted placement values. This increases the odds of winning without actually being the best. While, to your point, this is also true of other competitions, it is not an aspect that CF should seek to emulate. Furthermore, while all sports contain a significant element of luck, it is usually, though not exclusively, an unintended consequence of operating within an imperfect world--a problem with execution. In the case of the CF cuts, it's an avoidable flaw in the design and represents a regression in the formula. The Games of 2018, for example, were superior in this regard. I was drawn to CF for several reasons. First, I have always, without exception, fought to the "death" in every aspect of every competition in which I have ever competed. "Death before surrender" is a code that has served me well in sport, business, and life. I saw people dying on the floor on ESPN years ago and immediately thought, "These are my people." Second, I live in pursuit of truth...to the exclusion of all other considerations. The exhaustive tests and consistent scoring of prior years represented a form of beautiful truth. It wasn't perfect, but it came as close as any sport ever has. Dave has made it clear that the reintroduction of cuts is primarily about putting on a better show. Sadly, in making this transition, he has sacrificed the pursuit of truth upon the altar of "entertainment value." That sacrifice offends me to my very core.

My thought on cuts is that it makes it more exciting for spectators #1 but #2 the athletes have to sell their soul on every workout because if not they could potentially get cut. I think it takes out the “oh I know im not going to do good at this wod so im just doing the bare minimum and saving my gas for the next wod” out of play. Cuts are good when done right and I think having it come down to the top 5 or 10 on Sunday and have a gauntlet of wods for a “Championship series day” type deal would be awesome

One point I never hear about cuts is the potential long term gain if you don’t have them. Those athletes that aren’t as good will understand the volume of the whole weekend first hand and will change their training based on that experience and come back better. Cuts make a better spectacle for that one weekend but are they best long term…? Add into that Tyler’s point about exposure, money making etc and again, those athletes are also motivated to do better.
@vanillaghetto 12 күн бұрын
I hate the cuts on all and every level: *Goes counter to the CROSSFIT philosophy* 1) Relative point differential for each placement is increased from roughly 3 points to 5 points: Unevenly weights the events. Back-loads them. I.e., the 30 and 20-person events become more important than the 40-person events. 2) Fewer Tweeners: Changes, that is, decreases the points volatility due to fewer lower placed athletes finishing in between higher placed athletes. 3) Cheats the cut athletes of the Games experience, exposure, possibly competing in their best event/s, and getting the prize money from a complete competition. 4) Prohibits a true finish ranking of all (40) Games athletes. Prohibits a true ranking of the top finishers. Does not (necessarily) find The Fittest, and nearly definitely does not find an accurate podium, top ten, or prize money ranking. --The Unknown gets it. Tyler partially gets it...but he doesn't get the point differential and weighting part of it. --Spin and JY don't get the metrics AT ALL. Nor does TDC, if that makes you feel any better. --Btw, JY, you don't know what you are even trying to say when you throw around the word "Average". Learn the meanings/differences of the terms "Mean, Median, and Mode". And use the correct term for what you are trying to say. --Saying that "tennis has cuts" is so obtuse and irrelevant. ONE event, one opponent, zero sum game...same thing each and every time. Having cuts at the CrossFit Games would be more comparable to having cuts MIDWAY during the (ten) events of the Decathlon during the Olympics. It would no longer be the Decathlon. Get it??!!
