Logan Aldridge

As an adaptive athlete and coach I have a unique perspective and approach to any obstacle or challenge. I am aware of a problem but recognize the solutions. I know about difficulties but believe they can be overcome. I see the negative but accentuate the positive. When exposed to the worst I expect the best. When there are reasons to complain I prefer to smile. This is the mindset I try to instill on all of our athletes. When it comes down to it, attitude is everything. If we can have this perspective our potential is truly endless and growth is inevitable. Not only in fitness, but in life.

Katrin Davidsdottir

In 2016, four-time CrossFit Games veteran Katrin Tanja Davidsdottir did what only two other athletes have done in the history of the CrossFit Games: win the CrossFit Games twice (Annie Thorisdottir won the Games in 2011 and 2012, and Rich Froning held the men’s title from 2011-2014). A native of Reykjavik, Iceland, the former gymnast and track athlete took 30th in her first Games appearance in 2012 after less than a year of CrossFit, improving to 24th in 2013. Famous for recouping her mental strength after a devastating event at the 2014 Europe Regional sidelined her from the Games that year, she returned in 2015 with an improved focus and took the title of Fittest Woman on Earth. Now living in Natick, Massachusetts, she proved it was no fluke with a repeat victory in 2016.

Annie Thorisdottir

Annie Thorisdottir—or Iceland Annie, as she’s sometimes called—is a two-time CrossFit Games champion (2011-2012) and seven-time CrossFit Games veteran. Of those appearances, she’s stood on the podium four times—she took second in 2010 and 2014 in addition to her title-winning finishes—and with the exception of 2015, when she was forced to withdraw due to heat stroke, she’s never finished below the top 13. First recognized at the 2009 CrossFit Games, when she famously performed her first muscle-up mid-competition, Thorisdottir often competes with a smile and has been celebrated throughout her career for her positive attitude, which permeated even her season on the sidelines, when a back injury in 2013 forced her to sit out. A former gymnast, Thorisdottir owns CrossFit Reykjavik in Iceland.

Annie Sakamoto

Four-time CrossFit Games athlete (one team, two individual, one masters) Annie Sakamoto made her first masters Games appearance in 2016 with a second-place finish in the Masters Women 40-44 Division. After starting CrossFit in 2004, she became a trainer at the first CrossFit gym, the original CrossFit Santa Cruz in California. She has been a fan favorite ever since, famous for her 2005 appearance in a video of a workout that would later be known as Nasty Girls. In 2009, she helped team CrossFit West Santa Cruz to a 33rd-place finish at the Games before making her individual Games debut in 2011 with ninth-place finish, also winning the Spirit of the Games Award that year. In 2012, she took 23rd. Sakamoto has qualified for every Northern California and California Regional since then, and continues to coach at CrossFit Santa Cruz Central.

Cole Sager

Three-time individual CrossFit Games veteran Cole Sager made waves when he took 13th at the 2013 North West Regional just four months after he started CrossFit. One year later, he won the North West Regional, going on to take 17th in his debut CrossFit Games appearance. He has only improved since then, taking seventh at the Games in 2015 and fifth in 2016, just two spots shy of the podium. A former collegiate football player at the University of Washington, Sager now trains as a full time CrossFit athlete out of his garage in Spokane, WA.

Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir

Jeff Evans

CrossFit Games athlete Jeff Evans qualified for his first Games appearance in 2014 after just two years of CrossFit. The former Southern Illinois University wide receiver set himself apart at the Games that year with second- and fourth-place finishes in Clean Speed Ladder and Overhead Squat, respectively. Owner of HYTE CrossFit in Fort Myers, Florida, Evans took third in the 2015 CrossFit Liftoff weightlifting competition with a 405-lb. clean and jerk and a 305-lb. snatch.

Anna (Tunnicliffe) Tobias

Before four-time individual CrossFit Games veteran Anna Tunnicliffe became an elite CrossFit athlete, she was an elite sailor—an Olympian, to be exact, competing in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics, taking gold in 2008 in the laser radial class. She started CrossFit in 2011 while training for the 2012 Olympics. Though she qualified for the 2012 South East Regional, she declined her invitation to focus on training for the Olympic trials. In 2013, she made her first CrossFit Games appearance, finishing in the top 22 each year since with a career-best finish of ninth place in 2013. Tunnicliffe trains at, coaches, and manages T2 CrossFit in South Fayette, PA.

Scott Panchik

Scott Panchik, a five-time individual CrossFit Games veteran, has qualified for every CrossFit Games since 2012. Never finishing below sixth, he took back-to-back fourth-place finishes in 2012 and 2013, missing the podium by just one place each year. Victor of the 2015 and 2016 Central Regionals, Panchik is known for his mental fortitude, always believing he can win while remaining unruffled by setbacks. A collegiate running back, Panchik owns CrossFit Mentality in Mentor, Ohio.
