"But you can’t gloss over the fact that this thing felt like it was a mile wide and an inch deep, like one of those blockbuster movies that spent the entire budget on CGI and forgot to pay the writers." - Blair Morrison talking about the OC Throwdown @fit competition http://crossfitmobile.blogspot.com/2012 ... eview.html

Great analogy about the event and @fit in general. Image is everything when it comes to @fit!

another great quote from his review of the OC Throwdown

"the scoring and the events can be annoying, but in the bigger picture they don’t matter as much to pulling off a fair and legit event. Regardless of what you program, so long as things are consistent for all parties it will turn out fine. Unfortunately, the judging and standards during the weekend were largely non-existent. Scores were hardly comparable between heats or WODs because few to no judges had the same understanding of the parameters." - Blair Morrison

Keep in mind there was prize money for the event. It took a week to get the final results correct even though the prize money had already been distributed. Final rankings changed and there were people who made the final cut who shouldn't have.

All in all, just another great example of the "sport of shitness" and how it can be a world class event.

During the muscle up WOD the competitor to my back (Ronnie Teasdale) was told by the head judge mid-rep that he could not bounce his bar from the top of his thrusters into his next squat clean. He proceeded to call this person a “fucking bitch,” shove her to the side with his hand, and then unceremoniously toss the bar in her direction upon completion of his set.

Wow. That's class right there.

In my gym, it would get you walked out the door.

in mine that would get him punched

I didn't specify anything that happened between the actions & being walked out.

In keeping with @fit tradition.

Here it is. Starts at 4:23.

She should go be a dumb bitch somewhere else.

I don't know this Teasdale dude, but anyone who wears "jorts" and an attention whore tee that says "I love my haters"....Well that has to be considered totally classy!

^^ Is that from the "Gay Games"?

No, but this probably is.....

A quick google of Ronnie Teasdale reveals an incredible douche.

Perhaps but his resume isn't all that bad....

Ronnie graduated from Oakland University with a degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology. Along with his degree in Exercise Science his certifications include:

Performance Enhancement Specialist
CrossFit Level 2 Instructor
Running Coach/ CrossFit Endurance Certified
Olympic Weightlifting Certified
Gymnastics Certified
Kickboxing Instructor
Mobility and Movement enhancement certified
NASM Personal Trainer
Self Myofascial Release certified Coach

Take away the @fit shit and you have a guy who, on paper, looks to know his shit. A PES isn't easy to test for and having a degree in ExSc is always a good thing as a trainer.

However, his little tantrum while competing was douchey, although I had a similar thing happen to me in a strongman contest years ago during a truck pull when the guy behind the wheel hit the brakes too soon and screwed up my time. But I had legitimate reason as everyone watching it saw it...

Well, getting upset during competition is understandable...it happens.

Going fucktard on a WOMAN? C'mon...goes back to the joke about @fit turning men into women and vice verse. The guy calls my lady a fucking butch and we're gonna be wrecking shit until the SWAT team shows up. I bet a million donuts he wouldn't have pulled that shit on a man.

He's a @fit fag.

I love how these "fire eaters" are so bad ass, but they never seem to find their way down to the military recruiting office. Shit, if we had a unit of these super soldiers, the entire middle east would be pacified and worshipping a fat gimpy legged alcoholic.

I'd like to douse that faggot with charcoal lighter and chase him with a road flare ACROSS BROAD TIMES AND MODAL DOMAINS.

If that's what PED's make you look like then I'm staying away from them.

That douche is so obviously gagging for some cock it's painful to watch.

The comments following her post are worth the read as well. It seems nobody on the mainpage really gives a shit about her.

Anybody recall what lifters she's trained that competed at a national or international level in olympic lifting?
