  • “We didn’t come this far just to come this far. Four years of CrossFit Games competition with many more to go. Excited to be in Boulder with ‪@crossfit‬ leadership this week to see if I can help these folks make this great thing even better going forward.
    “My motivation to persevere has always been a function of wanting to make good on the time and energy various people have poured into me over my life. The coaches, mentors, and friends who invested time in me believed I was capable of one day doing great things, so even when I feel like I'm not capable of giving them the return on investment they deserve, I can always call upon that sense of expectations to dig a little deeper. Knowing that I have the eyes of Soldiers on me as a member of the U.S. Army Warrior Fitness team has only deepened my commitment to remembering my responsibility to properly represent for any group I'm a part of when I'm competing or training.”
    -Chandler Smith, two-time CrossFit Games qualifier, 15th at the 2019 Games and 22nd worldwide in the 2020 CrossFit Open

    Chandler Smith is one of the most respectful and humble athletes CrossFit has. I’m so glad he is a representative my son can look up to.

    The dislikes are his Soldier's that fell out while doing PT with him.

    He is so bloody strong, if he fixed his weightlifting technique he would be the best weightlifter in CrossFit, then he would have a shot at podium I bet

      He will probably make adjustments, but he won’t lift like Fraser unless he worked on it everyday at the detriment of everything else.

      Dude his Olympic lifting is so trash. If he had an Olympic lifting coach every time he lifted, once or twice a week, his technique would improves sinfodicantly in just a couple months. He has very bad technique at the moment

    Shameful crossfit promo of a black athlete for the first time ever after the racially insensitive comments of the previous head. Coincidence?

    • @martinfoster9848
      @martinfoster9848 Před 4 lety +5

      Shameful you're trying to create more problems about comments that were at worst ambiguous. Move on.

    • @duanesaundersmedia
      @duanesaundersmedia Před 4 lety +5

      I see it as the opposite 🙌🏾 Now is as good a time as ever to celebrate the diversity and an athlete who has been an integral part of the games in recent years. Thank you CrossFit, HQ changes are already setting the standard 👏🏾

    • @martinfoster9848
      @martinfoster9848 Před 4 lety +3

      Celebrate whatever you wish but to mention "racially insensitive comments" when race was never originally mentioned is unnecessarily provocative and antagonistic.

    • @duanesaundersmedia
