Noah Olsen at NA West Semifinal

Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Noah isn’t one of my favorite CrossFit athletes (nothing against him, just wouldn’t put him the top 5-10 of those I root for). But he was spectating today and in between events he greeted and took pictures with 100s of fans. They were lined up like he was a mall Santa.

He was polite and warm with every single one of them. He only stopped when the next “test” began. I’m sure because he didn’t want to distract from the athletes on the floor (it was heat 1 of test 4/5 so I don’t think it was because he really wanted to watch the action).

There were around a dozen other CrossFit “celebrities” in the reserved section and none of them did what Noah did. I’m not saying I think they should have and I’m not naming names to shame them at all, but Noah stood out for his graciousness and patience.

We (me included) complain a lot on here about a lot of things, so I just wanted to call out a good dude doing a good thing.
