How Did 17.5 Results Compare To The Games Version Of 17.5?
The 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games included an event which was a heavier version of 17.5 from the 2017 Open. Here's how the Games athlete's times compare between their Open performance and the heavier Games version of 17.5.
When Dave Castro announced a heavy version of 17.5 as the Saturday night event at the 2017 CrossFit Games, the question was whether the results of the Open version of 17.5 would correlate with the Games version. So what does adding more weight to the thrusters do to the capacities of the best CrossFitters in the world? Here are the results organized by Heavy 17.5 time.
Overall, it's clear the athletes who performed best on 17.5 performed the best on 17.5++ with Mat Fraser as the best example. Interestingly, Tia-Clair Toomey's performance on 17.5 was 15th among CrossFit Games qualifiers, but second in 17.5++, which suggests the heavier weight actually played into her favor.
