The athletes competed on two separate rows of boxes, one for the women and one for the men. They competed side by side, but it was next to impossible for them to know exactly how they were performing in relation to each other as they progressed.

Female Results

Gabriela Migala, winner of the Capitol event in 2022, emerged as an early favourite, working through her reps in a methodical and focused manner.

Male Results

The winner advanced in typical Justin Medeiros fashion, consistently and stoically, through the first two rounds.

All eyes were on the Rookie rabbit farmer Hatfield and veteran Travis Mayer as the combatants battled through rounds 1 and 2.  

In the final heat, Hatfield progressed to the final barbell first, however he caught the weight further back on his heels and missed the lift.

Mayer looked solid and lifted well but Justin completed the lift first and flew in under the radar to sneak the win.

Brazilian Bruno Marins clinched second with Mayer finishing third.
