Individual Results
Athletes will have 40 minutes to complete as many laps as possible of a closed circuit of 2600m in which they were obliged to run 200m off the bike.
Laura Horvath took the lead and moved into first place. At times it looked like she was gaining distance, but on the run off the bike the rest of the athletes caught up to her.
Katrin Davidsdottir would be the next athlete to take the lead but from the third lap on it was the Canadian Emma Lawson who would take the first place and did not leave it throughout the race.
In the interview he confesses that, near the end, he began to feel ramps in his legs and thought he would have to give up, luckily he kept pedaling and they passed.
1.- Emma Lawson
Emily Rolfe
3.- Emma Tall
Katrin Davidsdottir
Alexis Raptis
Fabian Beneito was provisionally at the head of the group but Koski, one of the favorites to win this race, soon overtook him. Adler took second place. Both were distancing themselves from the rest of the competitors.
Khrennikov and Crouch closed the gap and joined the leading group alongside Gudmundsson.
It was in the middle of the last lap that Koski pulled away and went on to win the event.
Medeiros suffered two crashes that we saw in the last event and finished 27th.

In the first heat, Olivia Kerstetter was the athlete with the fastest time of 15:49.
In the second heat, Laura Horvath completed the pig flips first, followed by Thorisdottir. Thorisdottir was the first to start the 100 wall balls. Annie lost rhythm in the wall-balls and Emma Cary took advantage to overtake her.
Cary, who was last in the bike event, finished the wall-balls and started the toes to bar followed by Thorisdottir. Cary came first in the pig flips but after the first lift she had problems and we saw Laura Horvath perform them as if she didn't weigh 159 kg.
Horvath pulled away from the rest of the field and finished with a time of 13:50, 2 minutes faster than Kerstetter.
1.- Laura Horvath 13:50
2.- Arielle Loewen 14:43

In the first heat, Spencer Panchik set a time to beat of 15:20. He was followed by BKG with 16:12 and James Sprague with 16:27.
In the second heat, Moritz Fiebig, was the first to finish the pig flips. Khrennikov overtook him in the gymnastics and took the lead followed by Djukic and Moorad.
Khrennikov finishes the wall-ball first followed closely by Djukic. Both complete the toes to bar repetitions and start with the pig lifts.
Khrennikov himself would be the first to cross the finish line and take the leader's jersey.
Medeiros finished 37th and, together with a 27th position in the first event, sees how the reconquest of the Fittest on Earth title is complicated.

In the following climbs to the rope, Medeiros distanced himself from Cerveny. The Brazilian lost grip and was out of the fight for the wod. From that moment on, Jack Farlow, Medeiros and Kwant were the three athletes in the lead.
Medeiros, exhausted, walked slowly toward the rope-climbs as Farlow increased his distance. Farlow took the first heat with a time of 12:54. Shorunke edged out Medeiros, who eventually took third with a time of 14:31.
In the second heat, everything pointed to a victory for Roman Khrennikov who was the winner of this event last year. However Fikowski did not make it easy for him and was continuously on his heels. Fikowski overtook Roman before the last rope climbs but Roman made them before the Canadian....

In the last heat, Roman Khrennikov messed up. First the judge made him repeat a BJO and then he skipped a box jump station and went straight to the rowing. The judge yelled at him but the Russian had a hard time reacting. Finally he came back and this mistake cost him the loss of a lot of time. From then on he lost concentration in the rest of the wod and was 20th.
