UPDATED: MAY 2020

Crossfit as a competitive sport truly has only been around since 2007 with it only becoming really serious with the introduction of the Crossfit Open in 2011 that had 26,000 athletes sign-up.

Since that point there have been many great athletes involved in the sport, but 10 have been able to separate themselves even among the best.

As there is not yet a current Crossfit hall of fame we have ranked the top 10 Crossfit athletes (male and female) using this specific formula: (BELOW)

Crossfit Games win – 50 points

Crossfit Games podium finish – 25 points

Regionals win – 10 points

Worldwide Open overall win – 5 points

These 4 data points were chosen due to the fact that each one of them separates a different competition stage of the Crossfit season, and points are awarded by importance.

A regionals win is awarded more than a worldwide Open overall win since many top level athletes never used to peak for the Open as they did for regionals.

Even though regionals only compared you to your geographic area it was an overall higher level of competition and workouts more closely resembled that of the Games.

Note: If an athlete won the Crossfit Games they were NOT awarded points for a podium finish as well. One win = only 50 points, not 75.
