This is another absolutely masterful performance from one of the most consistent Games athletes who's ever competed. An interesting note in comparison to Kara Webb's performance is that Smith actually spent less time on the pull ups than Webb did, by about 45 seconds (7:13 vs 7:58). On the flip side, he spent about two more minutes on the snatches (10:03 vs 1:57).

While the percentages are about even in terms of each bar to Webb and Smith's respective maxes, I think Smith took longer on the snatches simply because the weight is heavier.
