Annie Thorisdottir: Among the Fittest in the World for 13 Years

Annie Thorisdottir has had an illustrious 13-year career at the CrossFit Games. In addition to earning the title of Fittest Woman on Earth twice (2011-2012), she is also the only individual athlete to compete at the CrossFit Games across three decades. Thorisdottir made her Games debut in 2009 and went on to be a six-time podium finisher. Most notably, she placed third overall at the 2021 CrossFit Games, barely a year after giving birth to her daughter, Freyja. At the 2022 CrossFit Games, Thorisdottir — owner of CrossFit Reykjavik — captained a team to a fourth-place finish on her first attempt at winning the Affiliate Cup. This year, at her 13th CrossFit Games appearance, the mother of one and Queen of Iceland, as she is often called, finished as the 13th fittest on Earth. Thorisdottir has become a household name over the years and she continues to inspire many around the world to start their own CrossFit journeys, always donning a smile. — The CrossFit Games
