Squat Cleans
Dips with Parallel Bar Traverses
Time cap: 12 minutes
Women: 95-pound cleans | Men: 135-pound cleans
“Elizabeth Elevated” Recap
The opening heat for the women got underway as barbells moved up and down like pistons. Athletes advanced the barbell forward after every seven reps. Caroline Spencer took an early lead with Michalyshen within a rep’s reach.
Michalyshen took over the lead and extended it by several reps until Kolenbrander’s pace on the parallel bars closed the gap. Kolenbrander and Gazen were the first two back to the barbells to get to work on the round of 15. By this point, only Kolenbrander was knocking out multiple reps at a time. Everyone else dropped their bar between single reps.
Kolenbrander charged way ahead in the heat, hitting a double-digit rep lead moving into the first round of nine. Gazan attempted to close the gap as quickly as possible with Choi and Moosebrugger on Gazan’s heels.
The 21-15-9-9-9 really feels like a 21-15-27.
The 12-minute time cap started to close in on the athletes. Kolenbrander was six reps away from the finish line with a minute to go. Her breathing was heavy, but she knew it was her heat to win. She closed the door at 11:37.19 — the only athlete to finish within the time cap in heat one.
Women’s Heat Two
Ellie Turner and Dani Speegle put their prowess with a barbell on display early in heat two. The duo went rep for rep through the round of 21 and jogged to the parallel bars. Kaya wasn’t far behind them, and the gymnastics were underway.
All the athletes appeared to employ the same kipping strategy for the dips, hitching their heels to their glutes as if boosting them upward through the concentric portion of each rep. Speegle was the first to the barbell for the round of 15, with Turner and McQuaid on her tail. Overall, athletes in this heat had a faster pace than those in heat one.
Speegle walked to the parallel bars for the set of 15, recognizing that the workout was more taxing than meets the eye. Rayl’s consistent pace was leveraged into the first round of nine as she made her way to a one-rep deficit behind Speegle.
McQuaid and Speegle tackled their respective parallel bars as a pair, but McQuaid appeared to have more gas in the tank. McQuaid took a narrow lead as Turner fell further behind.
Touch-and-go was the strategy for Speegle, while McQuaid opted for individual reps on the second-to-last set of squat cleans. Fast hands from McQuaid expanded the biggest lead up to this point, and it appeared she could sense a heat win in his future.
Speegle stayed the course with the touch-and-go with the barbell. McQuaid didn’t let up and took the heat win at a time of 10:42.96. Speegle finished second in the heat at 11:03.74 — faster than anyone in heat one.
Women’s Heat Three
Brooke Wells sought to improve her standing following a challenging time on the pegboards in Event Three. She stayed within two reps of Miga?a and Saunders, who traded the lead back and forth.
Saunders sped through the first round of parallel bars, seemingly not interested in the measured pace of athletes in previous heats. Migala had a lot of leg-swing during the dips, despite a steady rhythm that compelled the commentary team to discuss how lack of efficiency in movement can cause fatigue early in the event.
The lead extended to a handful of reps for Saunders by the round of 15 squat cleans. She was alone on the parallel bars until Fuliano joined her — nearly a dozen reps between them.
Saunders maintained a strategy of unbroken reps on squat cleans in the first round of nine. She seemed in a league of her own, pushing the pace and finishing the second round of nine squat cleans within eight minutes. She reached her final set of dips with over a minute to spare against McQuaid’s top time. Saunders won the heat in a time of 10:31.72
Women’s Heat Four
Lawson was the overall leader entering the event. Toomey, also in this heat, sat in ninth overall due to her slip with the jump rope in Event Three. The reigning champ turned up the pace and attacked the barbell for an early lead in the opening round of squat cleans.
Toomey hustled to the parallel bars as the rest of the field moved in a wave toward their bars. O’Brien’s pace on the bars moved her into the lead. The 2021 Rookie of the Year and the reigning Games champ traded reps in the round of 15 squat cleans.
It was apparent that Toomey had the edge with a barbell, but O’Brien had faster speed on the parallel bars. Loewen ventured into the discussion for the overall lead in the heat, getting within a rep of Toomey.
The first round of nine squat cleans saw Loewen in place of O’Brien against Toomey for the lead. By the time they reached the parallel bars, Loewen took the lead, thanks to a tighter movement pattern across the bars.
Entering the second round of nine, it was Loewen’s event to lose as O’Brien was in second position by six reps. Loewen seemed to step on the gas as Toomey gassed out to fifth place in the heat.
If you see Superman bleed — that’s blood in the water for the sharks.
Loewen had three reps left at the 10-minute mark. Beating Saunders’ time would mean Loewen’s first Games event win of her career — and she got it in a time of 10:17.06. O’Brien came in second at a time of 10:33.77. Toomey finished fifth in the heat and ninth overall.
