CrossFit Games 2022 results, day four: Tia-Clair Toomey and Justin Medeiros in pole position to retain titles
- Defending champions sit atop women’s and men’s leader boards in Wisconsin after Saturday’s events
- Australia’s Toomey opens up a 92-point lead, but American Medeiros has challengers breathing down his neck on Sunday
The top of the men’s and women’s leader boards at the 2022 CrossFit Games have a familiar feel to them going into the final day of competition on Sunday.
Defending champions Tia-Clair Toomey and Justin Medeiros put themselves in pole position to retain their titles after Saturday’s three individual events.
Five-time champion Toomey took fourth-, third- and ninth-placed finishes in the “Rinse N’ Repeat”, “Hat Trick” and “Sandbag Ladder”, respectively, and is sitting pretty on 958 points as the overall leader.
The Australian 32-year-old’s nearest challenger, Mallory O’Brien of the United States, is way back on 866 points, putting a historic sixth “Fittest on Earth” title in touching distance – though with 100 points available per event win, anything can happen.
Like Toomey, Medeiros had a steady if unspectacular day in the men’s competition, securing seventh-, second- and fifth-place finishes respectively in the three events.
