What happened in event 2?

TRIBUTES TO LAZAR
Many tributes were paid to athlete Lazar Đukić at both the beginning and completion of Event 2:
Several of the male competitors wore customised t-shirts with Lazar Đukić’s name written on them in marker pen.
Victoria Campos, Chloe Gauvin-David and Julia Kato each waited on their starting mats for 60 seconds in homage to Lazar before they began their heats in Event 2.
Seher Kaya rolled up her sleeve to display “Lazar❤️” written on her arm with a marker.
And many of the competitors paid tribute by “taking the knee” at the end of their heats.
The Progrm’s Moritz Fiebig paid his own tribute wearing a customised shirt and took a moment to pay homage at Lazar’s starting marker before beginning the event.

EVENT RECAP
In the women’s heat one, Alex Gazan took the lead followed hot on her heels by the French Claudia Gluck who was recently training with The Progrm crew in Mallorca. Gluck overtook Gazan in the GHDs with Abigal Domit in third. Gazan reached the deadlifts marginally before Gluck, but Gluck managed to finish first with a time of 15:12. Gazan 15:20. Dani Speegle overtook Domit to take third place with a time of 16:19.

In the 3rd heat, Gabriela Migala took the lead despite making a mistake in the second round of rope climbs when she headed to the shorter of the two ropes by mistake. She was quickly rerouted! Maddie Sturt passed Migala before the skierg but Migala caught up with her on the rope climb. However Sturt was faster on the rope and started the last deadlifts first, she went unbroken and won the heat with a time of 13:43. Migala 13:58 and Loewen 15:13.

In the last heat, Toomey destroyed the event with a time of 13:15. Haley Adams 13:56.
