2013 Fittest Woman on Earth Samantha Briggs set the world's best score on Open Workout 16.3, the seven-minute AMRAP of 10 power snatches (75 lb. / 55 lb.) and 3 bar muscle-ups, while Kyle Frankenfeld and Andrey Ganin have tied with the top verified Men's scores.
Samantha Briggs
Briggs set the world’s highest score at 158 reps. That breaks down to 12 rounds plus two 55-lb. power snatches. The tiebreak time wasn’t essential for Briggs, as no one was close to tying her. The next closest athletes, Michele Letendre and Jamie Greene, finished 11 reps behind Briggs (147 reps).
Known for her engine, Briggs adds this win to a long list of incredible feats in the Open. Across her four Open appearances, Briggs has earned 16 top-10 finishes worldwide, set the world's best score seven times (13.3, 13.4, 14.1, 14.4, 14.5, 15.3, 16.3), and won the Open twice (2013, 2014). Briggs secured the 16.3 win on March 14, her 34th birthday.
Kyle Frankenfeld
Frankenfeld completed 11 rounds plus three 75-lb. snatches (146 reps total). He has not only tied for first on the week’s workout, he has surged to the top of the overall Leaderboard. The Australian athlete has been a presence at regionals for years, coming just two spots away from qualifying for the 2015 Games with a seventh-place finish at the Pacific Regional.
Andrey Ganin

Update March 18: Devin Thaut's 150-rep score has been validated, making him the official male winner of Open Workout 16.3. Thaut performed the workout at an affiliate in front of a judge.
Thaut tried to film his performance however the camera cut out. The video he provided to Games staff was sufficient to show that he has the capacity to reach the 150-rep score. We have also taken the word of the judge into account. The score will stand, however, Thaut will not receive the $2,016 prize money per the Rulebook.
