The event started with a special mention to Lazar Djukic

Men
In the first heat, Crouch, Hapalaainen and Chandler took the lead. Crouch distanced himself and was first after the first 5 heats. Athletes were leaving the pack to finish the remaining 5. Chandler closed the gap and overtook Crouch, but the two would take turns in first and second place.
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.
Women
In the first women's heat, Adams took an early lead. She was followed by Semenza and Tall. Adams had no problem holding the first position and winning her heat. Tall and Sturt were second and third respectively.

16 Ring Muscle Ups
8 Squat Snatch (225/160LB 102/72 kg)
6 Shuttle Sprints
Men
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.
Women
Angonese and Tall were first up for the Squat Snatch. Taylor Williamson was first to start the Shuttle sprints followed by Angonese. Williamson finished first with 6:27, followed by Angonese 6:44 and Adams 6:49.
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.
Tia won and greeted Migala, second. However, neither of them greeted Laura Horvath who crossed third.
