The Open is officially done, and the leaderboard has revealed who performed best over the last five weeks. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mat Fraser sits at the top for the men, followed by Alex Vigneault, Willy Georges, Jean-Simon Roy-Lemaire and Patrick Vellner. The one and only Rich Froning isn’t far behind in 10th, Scott Panchik is 12th and Mitch Sinnamon is in 39th.
The women’s division proved to contain some seriously stiff competition. After an amazing Open, Cassidy Lance-McWherter finished in first, followed by Kara Saunders, Carolyne Prevost, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet (shoulder surgery? what shoulder surgery?) and Annie Thorisdottir in fifth. Two-time fittest woman on earth Katrin Davidsdottir is in eighth, 2017’s champ Tia-Clair Toomey is 11th and Jessica Coughlan finished in 20th.
As we’ve seen time and time again, the Open leaderboard doesn’t guarantee what will happen come Regionals or the Games, but it’s certainly an indicator of who was best prepared for this grueling five-week challenge. Congrats to everyone who competed!
