Top-40 Female CrossFitters of All-Time

August 31, 20232 min read

This is a list Brian has been keeping and updating once a year for several years.

  • It is only updated following the CrossFit Games each year.
  • It only factors in what happened AT the CrossFit Games in each athlete’s career.
  • Athletes must compete in a minimum of three CrossFit Games to even be eligible for consideration on the list.

Below you will see last year’s top-40 contrasted with this year’s top-40:

  • There is only one new athlete on the list this year: Arielle Loewen
  • There are five athletes who move up on relative to last year’s ranking
    • Laura Horvath, Gabriela Migala, Danielle Brandon, Emily Rolfe, and Bethany Shadburne

Main factors considered, and please note that these are weighed carefully but there is no perfect science:

  • Appearances
  • Championships, podiums, top-ten finishes
  • Average finish (excluding some WD years)
  • Event Wins
  • Era (or years) competed during- relative strength of field

Brian Friend

Brian stumbled upon CrossFit in the Fall of 2013. He has been a writer, data analyst, coach, content creator, and served many different roles in the media. He worked with many of the biggest names, companies, and competitions in the CrossFit and fitness world, before launching BFriendly Fitness in May of 2023. Since then he’s been spending most of his time on the road providing livestreams and commentary for competitive fitness events across the US, Europe, and the Middle East- with the goal of expanding into even more countries in the near future. He hopes that through the storytelling he and his team are doing more people are motivated to try hard things, take control of their lives, and become healthier humans.
