Day is done and Novikov is six points up on Trey and Licis. I think he left a couple points on the table he wish he had now. Mainly since stones is not his strength and he could lose points there. He is very good at arm over arm and log lift though and could win either of those. Thing is Licis has better events day two. Iirc Trey is not good at grip/pull stuff so maybe he loses points in the arm. Trey and Licis are both great at stones. Novikov needs to hold this lead he has now into the last event.
On todays events Novikov to no surprise won dumbbell although Trey made it close. Only shockers there was the questionable judging on Licis third rep and Hooper only getting one. (Hoopers fail and Licis success looked about the same)
Hooper did make it up on the husafelt stone carry winning that just over Novikov. Licis bombed this one badly with choosing a bad grip. I think he was 8th (oops sixth) or so in that event.
Rooting for Oleksi ofc but he needs to widen his lead going into the stones.
