crossfit is a competition of who is best at being mediocre at a bunch of sports thats why it wont be at the olympics...

[Sardious]

someone gave me a negative for saying it already is in the olympics to a point because many of it's facets are there already?

[Sardious]

It is to a point. Crossfitters sprint, that is in the olympics, they power lift, that is in there, they do gymnastic exercised, that is there. The thing we have to put the kool aid down for to remember. Crissfit is a means to an end. It is supposed to be functional movement for althletics. You do not do the WOD soley for the WOD you do it to be fit for other things. "Pulling up" is not a sport, rockclimbing is, that type of thing. CF in and of itself is not "an end point", it is a journey.

Look at the definition of sport... It qualifies.... And yes it is a workout regime to be all around better at everything else. That's why imo that crossfit is fantastic!

[Sardious]

the games qualify as a sport. Crossfit in general qualifies as a fittness regimen. I am ok with the games ebing in the olypics though we'd see real PED testing and see a good multi day competition. The IOC of course would not call it by the brand name of crossfit and thereby CFHQ would not make money off it directly. But an fitness format could be there. I'd like ot see a WSM type thing in the olympics as well.
