160 Double Unders
80m Handstand Walk
60 GHD Sit Up
40 Box Jump Over
20/16 Log Bar Muscle Up
Time cap: 16 min
In the first 160 heavy double jumps, Fabian Hermans took the lead at the start, but was soon overtaken by Harry Lightfoot. However, at the completion of the first handstand walk lap, Lightfoot headed into the GHD zone by mistake, and the judge had to correct him: it was two laps.
Lightfoot remained in first place, with Hatfield in second place, although some distance behind during the log lift.
As the race progressed, Panchik and Smith overtook Hatfield, and finally Saxon Panchik also overtook Lightfoot to take the win.
Malheiros and Smith managed to pass Lightfoot in the last reps, finishing second and third respectively. The Briton, who had led for most of the event, had to settle for fourth place.
It should be recalled that Saxon Panchik entered the competition at the last minute after Dallin Pepper dropped out.
In the next battery, Jay Crouch was the quickest to complete the double unders, followed closely by Medeiros, Garard and Vellner.
Medeiros came closest, and on the GHD stretch he managed to overtake Crouch. He did not fail in the log muscle up and took the victory.
Crouch finished second and Vellner third, with Koski and Garard rounding out the Top 5 fastest times of the event.
1.- Justin Medeiros - 8:46.00
2.- Jay Crouch - 9:23.75
3.- Patrick Vellner - 9:30.77
4.- Jonne Koski - 9:51.23
5.- Ricky Garard - 9:54.97
In the girls' first heat, Grace Walton and Kerstetter were the first to finish the double unders.
Haley Adams started the race in last position when she reached the handstand walk. His shirt, visibly too big, almost covered his face, although he decided not to take it off.
Paige Powers-now known as Paige Rodgers-led during the GHD tranche and topped the heat. Rodgers, who did not compete last year after becoming a mother, was also out of luck for 2024: a penalty in the Quarterfinals dropped it from 5th to 105th place.
Italy's Fuliano finished second, more than two minutes behind, followed by Domit in third place.
In the next battery, Danielle Brandon was the first to complete the double unders and, as usual, also the fastest in the handstand walk. He arrived at the GHD with a seven-repeat lead over his rivals.
Brandon held the lead to the end and won the race, improving by one minute on Paige Rogers' time set in the first race. heat.
Arielle Loewen finished second, while Emma Lawson, who managed to close the gap in the final stages, was third. Gazan almost overtook her in the final sprint.
Rodgers' time in the first heat allowed him to retain second place in the overall standings.
Laura Horvath, who had started off strong, lost a lot of ground in the log muscle up and finished sixth in her heat and seventh overall.

Paige Rodgers
Lucy Campbell
Emma Lawson
Emily Rolfe
Abigail Domit
In the third heat, Brandon won the first heat with a 35.54
Horvath 35.05 and Speegle 36.08. The curious thing about Horvath is that she arrives last at the sled pull but she beats everyone at that station, her traction capacity is above her opponents.
Eliminated:
Grace Walton
Alexis Raptis
Manon Angonese
Paige Semenza
Arielle Loewen
Top 5:
Alex Gazan
Danielle Brandon
Laura Horvath
Dani Speegle
Olivia Kerstetter
Horvath again won the heat and went to the final with Speegle.
No need to see it, Horvath, barring injury, would win the final and the event. And so it was, although Speegle arrived before the sled pull, Horvath crushed her in the sled pull and won with several seconds of advantage.

Gui Malheiros, who has always stood out in events of this type and has won 2 times this event in other editions, set the best time in the second heat with 28.47.
In the next, Hopper 29.08.
After the first round they did not pass:
Austin Hatfield
Saxon Panchik
Colten Mertens
Chandler Smith
In the second round, a spectacular fight between Malheiros and Hopper, which was won by the American.
Malheiros was complaining about his shoulder and may have been injured.
Eliminated:
Jonne Koski
Harry Lightfoot
Jay Crouch
Fabian Hermans
Jeffrey Adler
In the first heat, Kwant fell badly from the last log and had to be treated.
Hopper won again, and similar to Horvath, he was not the first to reach the sled pull but his pulling ability was superior.
Gui Malheiros came last in the heat, probably due to shoulder discomfort.
Eliminated:
Samuel Kwant
Björgvin Karl Gudmundsson
Justin Medeiros
Henrik Haapalainen
Guilherme Malheiros
Top 5:
Roman Khrennikov
Ricky Garard
Jayson Hopper
James Sprague
Patrick Vellner
Again Vellner reached the sled pull first but Hopper again came out of the sled first but Khrennikov lifted the bag faster and sprinted faster to win the race!
Second Hopper. Both would go on to a very close final.
In the last one, Hopper pressed from the beginning and executed to perfection winning comfortably. 3 events in a row won for the American.

Deadlift
Time cap: 10 min
Brooke Wells, who retired from the CrossFit Games this year, set the fastest time in the first heat with 7:17.
In the second, Olivia Kerstetter, Laura Horvath and Emma Lawson took the lead from the start. Kerstetter, third in the last Games, pulled away early and maintained a solid pace to the finish.
The unknown was who would take second place, as Alex Gazan threatened to overtake Horvath. However, the Hungarian tightened in the last repetitions, especially in the deadlifts, where she was clearly superior. Gazan, on the other hand, suffered more from the effort.
Danielle Brandon had trouble on her last deadlift attempt and failed to complete it.
1.- Olivia Kerstetter - 7:16.73
2.- Brooke Wells - 7:17.81
3.- Laura Horvath - 7:42.86
4.- Alex Gazan - 7:52.62
5.- Madeline Sturt - 7:57.40
Mertens started as one of the favorites of the event. His handstand push-ups were incredibly fast and the deadlifts executed them with apparent ease, stopping the stopwatch at 6:41.
The second heat was much closer. Jeffrey Adler and Patrick Vellner dominated the series and managed to beat Mertens' time, something that seemed almost impossible.
1.- Jeffrey Adler - 6:33.74
2.- Patrick Vellner - 6:34.68

In the end, Emily Rolfe took the win in her heat with 28:08, followed by Raptis (28:50) and Sturt (29:05).

Austin Hatfield seized the moment, overtook him and took his series win with 27:33.

Hapalaainen overtook Crouch and moved into second. In the next round Hapalaainen took the lead but Chandler overtook him. The three were together in the lead, but in the end Smauel Cournoyer overtook everyone to take the win. Second Hapalaainen and third Smith.
In the second heat, Adler and Garard soon distanced themselves from the rest. After dropping the pack both were still in the lead but Adler managed to distance himself from Garard, but Garard caught him as he had the closest lane. Hopper was third.
When it looked like Adler would win the event, Ricky accelerated and overtook him just before crossing the finish line.

Karavis went all out and finished the ring muscle ups first. However, he had to rest so much that Gui Malheiros, who had finished last in the first event, started the squat snatch first and did the shuttle sprints at a relaxed pace. The Brazilian won his heat with a time of 4:44.
In the second heat there was no athlete who went all out. Pepper was first to finish the Squat Snatch followed by Brent Fikowski. Pepper finished first and Malheiros' time was good enough for second.

Toomey finished the muscle up first but as the Snatches began, it appeared that Horvath lifted more comfortably. Toomey managed to finish first and to make matters worse Horvath received a no rep. This gave Toomey an advantage and Horvath was in the shuttle sprint with Migala. Migala was faster than Horvath in the run and crossed the finish line second, saluting Toomey.
