With four events in the books and three remaining, CrossFit Games competitors are continuing to fight for one of the top spots on the leaderboard, as only the five best men and women will continue on to the second phase of the competition at the ranch. Nothing is promised and the leaderboard will undoubtedly look at least a little different after tomorrow, but here’s where things currently stand:
Women
- Tia-Clair Toomey: 380 points
- Brooke Wells: 324 points
- Amanda Barnhart: 281 points
- Kara Saunders: 271 points
- Dani Speegle: 260 points
Men
- Mat Fraser: 360 points
- Noah Ohlsen: 281 points
- Bayden Brown: 280 points
- Jeffrey Adler: 262 points
- Jonne Koski: 245 points
Toomey and Fraser are sitting even more comfortably in first place at this point.
Event 3 in particular (Damn Diane) really separated the athletes. For example, we had Toomey, who knocked it out in record time and even beat Fraser’s time. (BTW, this is the first time in Games history that the same athlete won the first three events.) Her moves were calculated down to every second — the sign of a real champion.
On the other hand, other athletes struggled immensely, especially with those strict deficit handstand push-ups. Laura Horvath, for example, wasn’t able to complete the workout before the time cap. There’s no doubt she’s a skilled athlete, but the handstand push-ups got the best of her, with too many failed reps.
With one day left, we’re excited to see who’s going to move onto the second stage: the in-person competition. Stay tuned.
