Mcleod and Khan battled through this long 20 minute workout, and it was Mcleod who edged out Khan with his score of 896 reps to Khan’s 803 reps.
Several athletes shared their 20.3 attempts and at this time, Greece’s Frederik Aegidius sits at the top of the men’s leaderboard for 20.2 with 1,030 reps. On the women’s side, Kristin Holte sits in first place for 20.2 with a score of 1,045 reps!
After 20.2 wrapped with some big-time performances, here are three athletes to watch out for in 20.3.
3 Athletes to Watch for CrossFit Open Workout 20.3
1. Kristin Holte
After finishing in second place at the 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games, Holte hasn’t taken her foot off the gas.
She’s been crushing the 2020 Open workouts so far, and currently sits in second place in the women’s overall Open leaderboard. We’re excited to see how she takes on 20.3 for the world to see!
2. Josh Miller
CrossFit Games athlete Josh Miller is the the highest-ranked American on the men’s Open overall leaderboard at this time.
He sits in fifth place after finishing in fifth for 20.1 and 26th for 20.2. He made his rookie appearance at the 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games, and from the looks of his Open workouts, he’s hungry for another Games invite.
3. Jamie Green
Green has been to four Reebok CrossFit Games, and currently sits in third place on the women’s overall Open leaderboard.
Green finished in third place at the 2019 Reebok CrossFit Games, and her Open workouts so far are showing she’s fighting even harder for another podium finish in 2020.
