Athletes ran with the GoRuck backpack (30lb/14kg).

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.

8 Squat Snatch (225/160LB 102/72 kg)

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.

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.

THE DUEL IV Laura horvath

And the 1 vs 1 final was contested between Horvath and Tall. Horvath once again won her round and went on to win the event, closing the gap on Toomey who finished 8th in this event.

1.- Laura Horvath
Emma Tall
Danielle Brandon

Men

The event had to be adjusted due to Migala's injury and later Hapalaainen's injury. Although there were no changes in the women, the men had to stop bouncing on the up and over and do burpees.

Gui Malheiros was one of the favorites to win this event. The Brazilian won the 2021 DUEL and his explosiveness made him a strong candidate. And so it was, the Brazilian won all the matches including the final against Brent Fikowski.
