Pearce and Greene were out of podium contention but scored times of 20.03 and 45.70 seconds, respectively. Björnsson seemed displeased with his time of 15.65 seconds since it was not enough to beat Licis. His teammate and wife, Kelsey Hensen, finished in 18.85 seconds.

Kearney and Gazan didn’t let those standings hold for very long, as they knocked out 105 reps combined to move into first place. Call and Scudds thought similarly and converted a whopping 109 reps to move up atop the leaderboard.
Ellie Turner subbed in for Rose as Medeiros partner on the deadlifts, and together, they locked out 111 reps to take the win. Turner posted an event-best 57 reps. It locked Medeiros and Rose as the inaugural Buttery Games champions.
