The large part of the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games has passed, but the final two days are set to be packed with the most action so far. Coming into day four, both Individual and Teams divisions will face three challenges. In addition, apart from the higher ranked competitors battling for position, the lower ranked competitors will also look to qualify for the final day of competition. After today’s session is finished, the Individual divisions will be cut down from 40 to 30, while only 20 out of 38 Teams will go through.
Tia-Clair Toomey is waking up as the leader of the women’s division for the first time heading into day four of the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games. She managed to overtake Mal O’Brien and build a massive points difference very quickly. Ricky Garard managed to defend his lead from event one for the past three days, but yesterday was his worst day of the competition, which enabled Justin Medeiros and Roman Khrennikov to get back into contention. The Teams division saw CrossFit Mayhem Freedom win both events yesterday, so they will attempt to continue their streak on day four.
