Nobody in the crowed could fathom how that happened. How can you get people into the sport if you can't even get them to understand how to win.
Goosey, I don't think broad appeal is necessary. But it has much more potential than many other non-team/non-ball sports because just about every male has done a bench press at some time in their life. People are rediscovering the barbell and the sport is growing at an alarming rate as a result.
There are already more participants in powerlifting than olympic weightlifting and I think 5,000 registered adult competitors across the major feds is a realistic goal within 5 years.
Do you think crossfit has helped or hindered strong?
It seems to have been a conduit, same in the sense you rent factory space buy some barbells.
The only difference is there is too much of a risk factor with crossfit

PS on sumo deadlift, this is a hard call. On the one hand, there is maximum mandated bench press grip. On the other hand, we don't tell people what squat stance they can use. On balance, history and tradition demands that the sumo deadlift stays.
yes, some of crossfit girls also good at olympic lifting.
Both strength sports will get a few that will do well in strength sports and hence move, but I suspect most enjoy all round fitness element of crossfit and its variety.
That is the impression i get at my gym when i discuss with girls, including some better built and suited for powerlifting.
yes, a few lost interest when i showed them records.
