MAT FRASER WINS CASE MALE INDIVIDUAL

Fraser wins by a lead of 197 points over Ben Smith
he scored seven second places
he had already won the CrossFit Games, even with only one remaining event

Matt began as he meant to go, taking first place in the 7 km Trail Run Ranch.

This was important because what was so impressive about him during the five days was his ability to always do well in events that in the past, he fought on. Mat comes from an Olympic weightlifting background, but he was able to win this first event. Other favorites such as Josh Bridges and BK Gudmundsson, both excellent runners, simply could not match his pace.

TURNING WEAKNESSES IN ASSETS

One of the great strengths of Mat is his obsessive dedication to the elimination of its own weaknesses. He has worked with Chris Hinshaw, superior endurance coach, and as a result now has one of the best mile and 5 times from the set of the CrossFit Games athletes field. His records work shows.

Another example of this dedication is when he struggled in the CrossFit Games 2015 with 'pig'. This is a 560 lb rubber block to be reversed end awkwardly on the end of the track. He lost major ground in this event, and in the long run, was second to the victory of Ben Smith.

After the Games, he bought a pig and later every Sunday night would be to train with it by itself. It has become a ritual. He started back five or ten times, which soon became 50 and 100. When everyone is relaxed, he was training alone. He did this every weekend until this weakness became a strength

CONSISTENCY IS KING

You see time and again :. Crossfitters the best ones are the most consistent. Look Ben Smith this year, no first place finishes, but its lowest position (in Event 2: Ladder Ranch Deadlift) was 23 ^e. Its similar excellent performance last year earned him first place in the CrossFit Games.

Brent Fikowski undoubtedly a star of this year's Games took four first places and finished fourth overall after 28 ^e, 30 ^e and 39 ^e Murph spaces, the separator and the Squat Clean Ladder respectively. An incredible rookie performance, if you compare it with the results of Ben Smith, it shows how the consistency is more important than first place finishes

crossfit games 2016 mat fraser — Mat Fraser wins by a clear minute

When you take this view and apply for Mat Fraser's performance, he won one event, but took second in seven other events. It is ironic that a man who finished in second place for two consecutive years to the CrossFit Games, and is outspoken about his hatred for second place, these are the second coherent places that earned him the CrossFit Games 2016 .

Mat does not gymnastic training, but finished second in the Handstand Walk.
This is not a natural sprinter, but took second in the suicide sprint.
As an athlete, he has no long distance during the execution of background, but won the race 7 km of trails.

are examples like these that show how hard this man works. I would be very surprised to learn that there is one CrossFitter the Games that trains as hard as Matt did.

PULL ITS ASSETS

So we saw how Mat turn its weaknesses into strengths, but in its traditional strengths? As a weightlifter, he adapted his power and technique of working with a barbell easily into Crossfit.

This can be seen in events such as The Double Pyramid Squat Clean DT, where he finished in second place both times. Mat Fraser was anything but unstoppable this year and deserved the victory.
