Se the first day of the CrossFit® Games 2019 had not reserved too many surprises, to put a little spice on the situation thinks about it second. Classifications changed, not distorted, with perhaps some element of strategy and faces that you do not expect from the first; all while the scissors closes more and more and today will give the last thinning to the groups of 20 survived.
It was easy to expect Matt Fraser at the top of the ranking and instead, for 5 only points, to drive is Noah Ohlsen. Not that the US is a surprise but the state of form shown on this Friday's Madison has amazed many. Ohlsen didn't shine in WOD 3, won by the Swedish Högberg, but he was brilliant in WOD 4 and 5, closing them 2 ° and 1 °, filling the gap with the summit and overcoming Fraser. The current champion it is very close but has received the blow of a Day 2 with exercises less adaptable to his skills, going a little in trouble in two out of three (17 ° / 21 ° / 2 °). Behind them Jacob Heppner, another less suspected than others but who, apart from the unsuccessful passage of the Sprint Couplet, is making consistency his priority as always force. 4 ° Panchik, also in difficulty like Fraser on WOD 3 and 4, 5 ° the ever-growing Swiss Arian Mundwiler. 10 ° Pat Vellner, 11 ° Sager, 16 Chandler Smith and even the cut, at the last lap of the day, of a never brilliant Brent Fikowski need Alex Vigneault.
The female top has recovered Tia Toomey, even without winning events but dominating for adaptability. Despite the different WODs, Toomey has proven to be ready for anything and has never gone beyond the 12 ^ position so far. To chase her Karissa Pearce e Kristin Holte, distant 12 and 15 points respectively, with the American who brings home the Mary after a difficult morning and the Norwegian always good to keep up with rivals. For now the great impact with the Games of Anna Fragkou: the Athenian 29enne, newcomer, is 5 ^ after two days, behind Jamie Greene. Back le "-Dottir" with Thorisdottir, Davídsdóttir ed Helgadottir occupying positions at 10 at 12, just before theItalian-Canadian Alessandra Pichelli; even worse Sara Sigmunsdottir at the 20 place, a step away from the cut. 15 ^ Sam Briggs, 18 ^ Horvath, Among the excellent cuts Speegle in 27 ^ e, one lap earlier, Gylfadóttir e Garibay.
The surprise victory in the Ruck Team of the Team Jst Compete (Helena Collins, Jak Cornthwaite, Jayane Eadie, Steven Fawcett, Benjamin Massey) and the difficulties of the former had suggested a reshuffle on Friday of the team competition, but Mayhem Freedom (5 ° / 1 °) has compacted and won the Team Strongman's Fear, still stretching in the standings. Rich Froning, Chyna Cho, Tasia Percevecz e Dre Strohm have 89 well ahead points on CrossFit® Krypton (8 ° / 2 °), with Jessica Griffith, Adam Klink, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, Cody Mooney and Alec Smith did not take advantage of the fall of the opponents. 3 th place again for Invictus (3 ° / 5 °) which chases even further.
So let's start towards the grand finale, with a Saturday that will make the last cut to get to the fight against 10 for victory. The WODs, still unknown, will be ever more demanding, after a Friday that has already undermined several certainties. Here are the Top 10 current and Yesterday's WOD.
