Time frame: 8 min., each pair
No rest for the teams after Event 8 as they head straight into Event 9. CrossFit Mayhem and CrossFit Invictus both managed to back squat an enormous 1385lbs among all four members of each team.
Event 10
5 rounds for time:
- 1 pegboard ascent (1 athlete)
- 6 synchro burpees (other 3 athletes)
Then,
- 8 Worm squats, full team
Time cap: 16 min
The dreaded pegboard returns for Team Event 10 of the 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games, as well as the famous worm.
In Heat 1 CrossFit Awaside lead ahead of Lone Star CrossFit. The pegboard proved a challenge, especially combined with the burpees. CrossFit Invictus struggled through the last pegboard due to Jen Ryan’s hand fracture she suffered from the MACC. CrossFit Awaside had a decisive Heat win in 12:05.
In Heat 2 CrossFit Surbiton took the lead for most of the Heat, closely chased by CrossFit Oslo, but Surbiton crushed Awaside’s score with 11:34 for their first event win and third Top 3 finish. Oslo finished the event in sixth.
Two more events await the Teams on Day 4, the final day of the 2021 CrossFit Games where we will crown the Fittest Team on Earth.
