Hours before the competition started, Ricky Garard announced his withdrawal due to food poisoning and breathing issues from Covid-19 infection.

Ricky Garard made the announcement in an Instagram story and wrote:

“After being hit hard by COVID two weeks ago and still struggling to breathe properly in training as it is, to now having food poisoning the night before Wodapalooza, it kills me to do this as I’m not one to go out without a fight, but unfortunately, me and my team have decided the safest option for my health and longevity is to withdraw from the competition,” Ricky Garard wrote in his Instagram story.
