This is why the physiological testing they did recently is such a bad idea. It's obvious without knowing specifics that neither of them has the physiology to be a professional athlete, but some of Angelo's results must really play into his insecurities (e.g. he's some way above the ideal weight for a Hyrox participant - not ideal if you have a hang up from growing up chubby).

This is what I mean by saying the stats they were comparing were not meaningful. The average bodyweight doesn't tell the full story. Angelo is quite tall, and comparing average height and average weight separately instead of as a ratio does not tell us if Angelo has the typical body type for a hyrox competitor. Additionally, they should be using medians because top performers can skew the mean, and they should have done two separate comparisons to see how they stack up against top performers and the median elite 15 competitors. All those marathon stats seemed like filler material to make a longer video and aren't relevant to hyrox.
In no world did they bomb their races unless they’re trying to go elite then yes they did lol
Yes! If I remember correctly Holly was into running before meeting Angelo but then became obsessive after meeting him as he was really into running. They would run together a lot early on after meeting.
Agreed. Holly is someone who needs goals and stats to chase that she can never just be
Saskia is amazing she won the doubles too with Holly Archer all while still working in the medical field. Thats inspirational I would be intersted in those of vlogs.
They are doing double workouts at their max capacity so im assuming they want to avoid getting there too late in the day because then their second workout would be in the middle of the night. Also im assuming he was meeting Holly there if they are both staying at their own family's place because in all the videos they dont seem to workout without the other.
Holly Archer has vlogs. They are… emotional and solely about her running / Hyrox. I would love it if Saskia would vlog her day (like she has time!)
Holly Archer is entertaining to watch. She reminds me of one of the characters on survivor that had a personalitiesthat you remember.
I remember watching on her vlog are about a month or so ago where her Saskia got multiple penalties for multiple things and she let lose on her thoughts on it.
I dont think itll be easy to qualify for elite, 1. It will be exoensive attending all those races all over the world to qualify. (Even people qork full time dont travel overseas multiple of times a year) They'll need money for that. 2. They need to be in top 10 overall not just age group as it all based on pounts.
One thing I have wondered about them is what happens if (god forbid) one of them suffers a serious or even career ending injury? Based on what we see, all they seem to have in common is exercise and restrictive eating. If one of them could no longer partake, what happens to the relationship? I honestly don't know how they'd spend their time as I can't imagine the other would be happy just cheering from the sidelines.
I know we only see a tiny snapshot of their lives and they may have more in common than we think, but as a viewer, their exercise addiction appears to be the only thing keeping them together.

They have already got their race video out. I’ll give them points for that!
I’ve not been on this thread for a while as had a few things going on but I have thoughts.
I’ve not watched today’s vlog but thoughts from the last few weeks:
STD/HPV - am convinced she contracted this from Angelo, Holly was way too sensible back in the day to contract this from her first sexual experience.
Angelo’s running and Holly- wasn’t their first date a run?
The vlog comparing themselves against other Hyrox athletes - I actually thought that they did WAY more than 16 hours in the gym each week?! Aren’t they there for like 4 hours a day?! And if they’ve quit their jobs to do this (I think they’ve mentioned this like once?!) then 16 hours a week in the gym seems like nothing to me?!
They ALWAYS have an excuse for why they don’t perform as they think they should (or there garmin tells them they should)
and I’m sick of it, just say you’re not as good as you thought? I’d actually respect you more.
I’ve watched a few of Holly Archer’s vlogs and she’s way more interesting and refreshingly honest, would much rather watch hers than Holly W’s, Holly W’s videos are just so samey.

Holly Archer has now won TWO World Championships at this event. She and her partner took the Mixed Doubles today! I think *she’s* earned the right to train full time! Angelo and Holly have miles to go!
To my knowlegde Holly has never acted this way during an event/competition except for that marathon she ran with Angelo. In fact she was kind of acting like Angelo at his last race. I wonder if she bombed on purpose because if she won that mightve been the end of their relationship especially because they dont know how Angelo is going to perform at his next event.
I doubt it's that complicated. I think it's more likely to be a case of very exposed against superior competition.
they have more views on this than subscribers. Still less than 3k subscribers. I don't see how they are going to make this pay their way.
That said I can't do burpees, and can't imagine how unfun they are during the luteal or period time of the month.

I will say he is gonna have to question whether he's gonna fully commit to going elite 15 for men or help holly pursue elite 15 for women, because she is definitely more likely to get there and she cannot let him affect her races
