The Individual Men’s leaderboard was heating up as defending Fittest Man on Earth® Justin Medeiros closed the gap between him and overall leader Ricky Garard for the second straight event. However, Roman Khrennikov, in third place overall, scored a big event win in Event Eight, pushing him just 21 points shy of Medeiros.
Tia-Clair Toomey took a fourth-place finish in Event Eight to extend her overall lead on Mal O’Brien. It would be a stunning turn of events if Toomey somehow conceded that lead to O’Brien in the final five events. However, anything is possible as was shown by Toomey’s stumble on Day One. At the very least, O’Brien and Emma Lawson‘s battle for the silver was certainly revving up.

Event Nine Recap
The commentary team identified that technique and intensity are the two key metrics that will convert the best times. The goal was to move fast and use the four minutes between rounds to recover. The heats were such that the opposing heat performed during the other’s rest period.
Turner made it through the wall balls first to move through the snatches. She crossed the finished line at 1:17, eight seconds before Prevost in second. The second heat of athletes sprinted across the field, with the majority getting to the wall balls approximately 15 seconds in.
Toomey fumbled her first wall ball shot but recovered well to move smoothly through the rest of the event. She and O’Brien moved in sync through the snatches. Toomey got over the finish line a few moments before O’Brien to win the first round.
The first heat got back to the starting line for round two. The general sprint down the field was faster than the previous heat by about two seconds. Turner made it to the dumbbells first for a second straight round. She crossed the finish line at 1:15. Choi crossed 10 seconds later.
The 90-degree heat felt “muggy,” according to commentator Niki Brazier, as the second round for heat two got underway. Toomey, O’Brien, O’Connell, and Horvath got through to the snatches first. Toomey was two steps ahead of O’Brien, enough to cross the finish line first for the second straight round.
Turner aimed to go three-for-three in heat one. She cleared the wall balls by the 50-second mark and got to work on the snatches. She got across the finish line first, completing the “hat trick.” Her time in round three was 1:18.36.
Toomey missed her first wall ball shot in the final round and got another no-rep a few moments later. That was the opening Mal O’Brien needed who made it through the snatches and crossed the finish line first, followed by Brandon.

Men’s Heats
Malheiros was the first athlete to the dumbbell snatches and cross the finish line in under 1:20. Pepper came across six seconds after alongside Greashaber. Zenoni got capped and was sifted into a different heat that would not allow him to challenge for the higher ranks.

One More On Day Four
Event 10 is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CDT. There will be a cut of the bottom 10 athletes in each Individual division on the overall leaderboard after event 10. The final day of competition on Aug. 7, 2022, has three events scheduled before the Fittest on Earth® are crowned.
