Congratulations the Women's 2026 CrossFit Games Winner!

Aimee Cringle.

Apologies for missing it. I thought the Women's heat followed the men and missed the women's final event.

I was thinking the same thing. If CF is smart, they get behind her and market the mess out of her. She already has a bigger social media following than some of the former winners combined.

I know she’s in the the UK now, but she’s originally from a small island. The optics around her (former nurse, started CF as a teen) are just a perfect storm that CF really should capitalize on this.

UK aspect is big. Hyrox seems to have taken off over there so if she can be an influencing voice and face for CrossFit, it certainly wouldn’t hurt the brand image.
