Who is more Fit - Tia or Mat?

Hey team,

A pretty interesting video was just posted on youtube from CrossFit HQ. They analyzed the results from the previous stage of the CrossFit Games to see who was more fit - Tia Toomey or Mat Fraser. They do a pretty good job of creating objective standards outside of just the workout times in the wods they performed.

CrossFit is one of those activities that really showcases the power and abilities of women in athletic pursuits. It is just as frequent for a woman to beat a man in a workout as it is for the opposite... and that is part of what makes this activity so great. In terms of parity in exposure at the Games level, the female athletes are just as watched as the men, and have always had the exact same prize purses... something that virtually no other sport can claim.

So place some bets beforehand and watch the video to see who comes out on top so far!
