16.2 is in the books and where 16.1 was a grind, 16.2 was an elegant killer. The combination of toe to bar, double unders, and increasingly heavy squat cleans really did a number on athletes and the leaderboard. Check it out:

Men's 16.2

The Fittest Man On Earth isn't messing around. Ben Smith showed up and showed up big in week 2 of the 2016 CrossFit Games Open with a 16:54 finish, putting him 6 seconds ahead of Rich Froning and 36 seconds ahead of Mat Fraser.

Overall, Josh Bridges is in 1st with Noah Ohlsen close behind after repeating 16.2 to make up for missing out on completing the workout.

Based on the scores, 16.2 was certainly an easier workout for the best women compared to the best men. There were only 33 men who finished the event compared to 60 on the women's side.
