How could anyone (like Greg Everett) argue that @Fers need better OLY form after watching that video?

Molly Tuman - another darn near elite athlete BEFORE finding cf, that comes in and dominates cf'ers.
"Our workouts are competitive events. The strength and value of crossfit lies entirely in our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate."
Looks to me like "other athletes" are kicking major butt.

And yet those athletes come to our arena and enjoy the competition. Truth is, those people that you claim are not crossfitters are doing constantly varied, high intesity training already. Just because they don't call it crossfit doesn't mean they don't train with similar methods.

How is this in any way a refutation of Crossfit? In most sports genetically gifted athletes rise to the top. Molly is a trainer at an Affiliate and has several CF certifications so it's not like she came in off the street and won. As the sport gets bigger I'm sure we'll see plenty more people who were world class in other sports spend 6-12 months WOD'ing and do very well. What do you expect to happen when gifted athletes meet a superior stimulus?
Elite athletes in real sports using "constantly varied" training? Show them to me. Next thing you know, @Fers will be saying 5/3/1 is "constantly varied" because you increase the weights each month and the final AMRAP set might be a different rep number each time.
Real sport elite athletes don't call their training "@F" because @F (defined as the mainpage WOD and nothing else, as it always should be) sucks ass and they wouldn't do it. Elite athletes have plans. Elite athletes compete on certain days, never EVERY DAY. Elite athletes come in to @F and kick full-time @Fers' asses because they are coordinated, strong, and explosive from their REAL SPORT training. They also know how to prep and taper.
I can't wait until some real elite athlete comes in, wins the Gaymes, and in the post-interview says..."Shit no I don't do @F training! @F training sucks donkey balls. Don't you ever say I do @F."
