I did not think I’d see the day when a basic requirement for men trying to make the @CrossFitGames was a 300lb snatch. morningchalkup.com/2021/05/29/it-…
In 2010 the max snatch for male Games competitors was 209 lbs, 121 lbs for women. games2010.crossfit.com/blog/2010/07/s…
The max snatch average in 2018 and 2020 was 285 lbs and 188lbs, respectively. misfitathletics.com/articles/are-y…
And Christine Kolenbrander hit 210 this past weekend.
Granted, the world record for women (at 141lbs) is 257 lbs, but to hit a 200+ lbs snatch in CrossFit is just astounding.

Politics and its ever yawning maw happened.
It became useful to turn eliminating QI into a cudgel issue, the same reason why it became politically useful for certain people to argue that the murders of George Floyd and Ahmad Arbery were somehow their fault after initially saying otherwise.
It was useful to make BLM a corporate cause that required no actual action, and it was useful to make it a scapegoat to also do no actual action.
