CrossFit Games Intel w/ Dave: Totals Predictions, Event Leaks, Rolls on Rings & Safety Calls
The hosts joke about a brief “Graceann” cameo and Jason’s mood from the previous episode before Jason shares he sought counseling and is in a better place. They debate competitiveness, taper week, and predict CrossFit Games event wins and totals numbers, then bring on Dave to discuss what top-five lifts might look like (including comparisons to last year), recovery between events, and why certain skills like forward/back rolls on rings were announced early. Dave confirms no heavy DT, says pig and snail are on separate days, answers questions about event announcements and how many events will be unknown at the start, confirms swimming and biking are on the same day, explains pool safety decisions (no diving/flip turns), and discusses how early poor placings can affect overall standings. The episode ends with Games travel plans, upcoming podcast schedule, and thanks for a major donation.
