CrossFit Games Week Chat: Skills Stress, Bike Event Takes, and Pre-Weekend Blessings

A group of CrossFit Games athletes talk the day before competition about finalized adaptations, lingering stress around key skills like strict press, triple-unders, and backward rolls, and the hectic training vibe with other athletes. They discuss betting as motivation, Roman’s comment about winning for money, and the new Road to the Games featuring them. Conversation shifts to check-in details (gear colors, bike fitting issues, swim uncertainty, equipment like squat racks and Tier swim gear), predictions for skill medleys, a possible 40-minute workout, running-heavy programming, and how heats and seeding might affect events like the 500m and the bike. They react to livestream donations, joke about flags, shoes, and sponsors, and end with a round of heartfelt “blessings” and encouragement for each other heading into the 20-event weekend.
