10 MH.CO.ZA/ August 2019
UNFILTERED- Patrick Vellner:
A Canadian
chiropractic
student and
Games runner-up
last year, Vellner
will again be
chasing outright
favourite Mat
Fraser (see page
100), who has
won the Games
three times
in a row as an
individual. A hard-
fought rivalry will
eventually result
in one winner in
2019, and plenty
of action for the
audience. - Zeke Grove: In
the 2018 workout
requiring 30
muscle-ups for
time, Australian
athlete Zeke
Grove finished
second overall for
this workout, in a
blisteringly quick
time of 1:52.
3. Brent Fikowski:
Nicknamed
“The Professor”,
28-year-old
Fikowski is
renowned for his
tactical approach
and keen pacing.
He’s placed
fourth twice
(2016 and 2018)
and second once
(2017), and is a
strong contender
for the podium
alongside Mat
Fraser and Patrick
Vellner this year.
