Echo Thruster Final Recap
The first heat for the men featured the two athletes vying for rookie of the year: Bayley Martin and Jelle Hoste. They were separated by nine points and shared the center of the competition floor.
Upenieks set the early pace on the echo bike, but Hoste wasn’t too far behind. Hoste overtook the lead and was the first athlete in the heat to the thrusters.
Medeiros and Kwant had a burst of energy through the thrusters to reach the Echo bike in the round of 15 together before the rest of the field. Hoste’s size was advantageous on the Echo bikes and utilized that to retake the lead to the second round of thrusters.
Kwant held the lead by the final Echo bike, thanks to taking less rest through the thrusters. Medeiros and Hoste were a handful of reps behind Kwant’s pace.
Kwant repped through the last of his thrusters alone. He completed the 66 feet of walking lunges first to score the heat in a time of just under seven minutes. Medeiros ranked second in the heat.

The women’s first heat was the second on the competition floor. Flores was the first athlete to the initial round of thrusters. Tall, Rolfe, Thorisdottir, and Freyová were a pair of reps behind Flores.
Flores needed to take more rest on the 21 thrusters, allowing Thorisdottir and Rolfe to reach the round of 18 on the Echo bikes first. The former two-time Fittest Woman on Earth®, Thorisdottir, was building to a top 10 overall finish to close out the Games and led the field to the round of 18 thrusters with Rolfe.
By the final round of thrusters, Kerstetter had overtaken the lead by a handful of reps over Rolfe. Thorisdottir fell out of the lead pace as Kerstetter got to work first on the walking lunges. Kerstetter performed the lunges unbroken to win the heat in a time of 7:22.25.
It looked like Freyová was going to finish second, but a costly no-rep for dropping the barbell behind her head. That was compounded by Freyová performing a rep at the wrong starting point. She had to perform another rep to cross the finish line, and it cost her two ranks.

The second heat for the women took the floor for the penultimate heat of the Games. Lawson was out to an early lead going hard on the Echo bike. Horvath appeared to pace herself but stayed within a pair of reps of Lawson.
Lawson and Davi?ðsdo?ttir were the first to the thrusters. Lawson locked out two reps before Horvath got to her barbell. However, Horvath’s cycle rate was much faster, and she overtook Lawson’s pace.
Davi?ðsdo?ttir set the lead pace entering the round of 18. Lauson was a pair of reps back from Horvath and needed to beat the Hungarian by three ranks to take the top spot on the podium.
Horvath was at her barbell before Lawson. Horvath was six reps head of Lawson, and it looked like Horvath would hold her ground for the throne. The final round on the Echo bike featured Hovath in a tie for the lead with Cary.
Cary was the first to the final barbell. Horvath didn’t need to concern herself with Cary scoring the top time; Horvath only needed to best Lawson. Horvath finished her thrusters and took a significant amount of rest before beginning her walking lunges to the finish line.

Davi?ðsdo?ttir led the heat in the final stretch and closed with a heat-winning time of 7:33.41. Horvath crossed the line to finish fourth in the event and first overall. Laura Horvath is the Fittest Woman on Earth®.
Men’s final heat forthcoming.
Fittest On Earth
Jeffrey Adler is officially the Fittest Man on Earth®. It was a tight battle early on the last day of competition. However, an unfortunate injury suffered by Roman Khrennikov, Adler’s closest rival atop the leaderboard, in Event 10 opened the door for Adler to sit on the CrossFit Games throne.
