After the first 2 workouts she is currently 14th in the European region, and 274th place overall.

There’s a lot of talk about cheating reps these days… Never have I seen a man performing womens weights/standards and getting away with it…

This is very interesting. I was beginning to wonder when our russian comrades would throw their hat into the xfit ring.

Through searching YouTube for content there’s one thing I’ve noticed – there’s quite a few Russians doing crossfit and Russians like sumo deadlifts a lot! 😀
Andy Blaida says
imagine klokov in the clean ladder… and snatching every bar LOL
AC says
I thought Russia did a good job in fiscally supporting their successful Olympians? This makes me sad…an athlete is prioritizing Crossfit over THE OLYMPICS/WORLDCHAMPS for $…..A pathetic world we live in…
CasualLurker says
Also agree.
Kavi says
Given the Olympic Committee’s decision to drop Wrestling, the Olympic Games can no longer serve as any gold standard of athleticism and sport. This reinforces your point about the sad state of affairs in the world.
JRut says
Seems like a good way to introduce some bad habits into your precision lifts.
CasualLurker says
Agree. Definitely agree.
Jeffrey says
Why is this on All Things Gym? Ridiculous.
vincent says
you said it yourself; All Things Gym
Jeffrey says
Crossfit =/= gym-related.
Crossfit = shit.
Chris Orcutt says
I agree but I think this is relevant because she was a 3x world champion Olympic lifter
