The UAE interest continued on day two of the CrossFit Games.

Abu Dhabi-based Jamie Green stole the show again, sitting a stunning fourth overall in the women’s category.

The Kiwi, who trains at CrossFit Yas in the UAE capital, improved her position in the overall standings with 22nd, 4th and 3rd place finishes respectively in the Ruck, Sprint Couplet and Mary workouts on Friday.

The last two workouts of the day were her best, and she even held the lead briefly, but was reeled back on the sled push of the Sprint Couplet, and then subsequently hauled back by Kari Pearce and Kristin Holte in Mary.

Still, sitting fourth is phenomenal and sets Greene up for a serious push as the competition heats up on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Dubai-based Carmen Bosmans was eliminated after the first workout of the day – four gruelling laps of 1,500metres with the weight increasing from 20, 30, 40 and 50 pounds after each lap.

However, the Belgian national should be proud with finishing her week as the 46th Fittest Woman in the world.

In the men’s category, Abu Dhabi-based Elliot Simmonds survived two cuts on day two and sits a formidable 17th overall ahead of day three.

The Englishman, another CrossFit Yas athlete, finished his workouts in 14th, 16th and 10th respectively, and will be relishing the prospect of improving again on day three.

In the team event, CrossFit Alioth from Dubai lie ninth overall ahead of day three. The Dubai-based quartet of Phil Hesketh, Mia Akerlund, Synne Krokstad and Alexander Elebro placed 10th in the team ruck and 12th in the strongman’s fear.
