Dubai CrossFit Championship day three recap: Sara Sigmundsdottir and Roman Khrennikov hold their leads as Brent Fikowski charges
- Both the Icelandic and Russian star fended off tough challenges as the final day approaches
Sara Sigmundsdottir and Roman Khrennikov held their leads over from day two of the Dubai CrossFit Championship, but it’s clear the competition is far from over.
Canadian Brent Fikowski, who is in second, capped off an impressive day by winning the third event and applying maximum pressure on the Russian who has held the lead for virtually the entire tournament so far. On the women’s side, Sigmundsdottir was once again tested by Karin Frey and defending champion Samantha Briggs, who sit second and third respectively.
Greene, who won the fifth event of the competition and currently sits in sixth place overall, said she was primed and ready to maximise her hometown advantage.
“I know every year the DCC puts out such a good gymnastics workout,” said the 28-year-old who works as a coach at Vogue Fitness, which runs the CrossFit box Yas.
