The two chosen for the head-to-head were Raptis and Toomey. Raptis admitted to being motivated until she learned that her opponent was Toomey. The Australian managed 15 rope climbs to the American's 14.

Raptis overtook Toomey in the freestanding and was 2 points ahead 24 - 22.

In the Ring muscle up, Tia overtook Raptis and was 45 - 41. Raptis tried to cut the distance in the Freehandstand but fatigue did not allow it and after that section the result was 53 - 48 in favor of the Australian.

With 5 reps to go before the rope climbs started, Tia could have let off the throttle but she kept going up as if she didn't have enough. The final score was 66 to 59 for team World, that score would be the start for the men.

In men, Vellner vs. Gui Malheiros. Vellner cut distance on the rope climbs and reduced by 2 reps, 81 - 76. On the freehandstand, Vellner, with past gymnast, failed to cut distance and the 5 reps distance was maintained. 89 - 84

In the RMU Vellner again fought to close the gap but was unable to do so. 112 - 107.

Malheiros increased the distance in one rep on the freehandstand and reached the last rope climbs with 6 reps of advantage. We saw Tia encouraging Gui constantly, the Australian did not want the Brazilian to waste the advantage he had left her.

Finally in the last rope climb, Vellner could only make up one rep and the lead remained at 5, 131 - 126, earning a point for Team World. 3 - 3 overall.

Medeiros and Pepper made a comeback and came out of the Skierg first. The distance in the pingpong was 5 reps for the North American team but when they reached the GHD it was equal. The Americans were more efficient in the GHD and managed to finish with a distance of 10 reps to which the world team could not do anything in the dball.
