In the RX category, TR Coach and Member Anastasiya Plyushkina once again proved her excellence, finishing on the podium in 2nd place with her team, Fantastic 4. They claimed a crucial event win in the final workout (Part B) by accumulating the highest calories on the BikeErg. This marks Anastasiya’s second consecutive year on the podium at these Games, following her 3rd-place finish last year.
​
Another strong TR team, X-Men, consisting of TR Coaches Julia Abarca, Yazmin Stevens, Dimitrije Avramovic, and Federico Judais, delivered a stellar performance and finished just outside the podium in 4th place. They were one point away from a podium finish, narrowly missing out in a tight race. X-Men secured an event win in Part B of the first workout, which was the weightlifting event.
X-Men: Dimitrije, Yazmin, Julia and Federico.
