Sam Briggs Retirement – 2013 Fittest Woman on Earth
Sam Briggs won the 2013 CrossFit games awarding her the title of 2013 Fittest Woman on Earth. She plans to retire from competitive CrossFit after the 2022 season. Briggs aged 40 announced her retirement Feb 22,2022 just a couple days before 2022 CrossFit Open schedule was released.
Briggs said “As many of you have suspected, this will be my last season competing in the sport. I originally started CrossFit in 2009…I knew straight away I had found my people; this is where I belonged.”
Briggs’ CrossFit career is nothing short of prolific, holding her own on the sport’s grandest stage well into her late 30s. In her statement, Briggs said that she knew she was “nearing the end of [her] time competing” in 2020 but did not want her final experience at the highest level of the sport “to be an online competition.”
There is no doubt Briggs has had an amazing CrossFit tenure. We wish her well in her final CrossFit games and wherever her future endeavors take her!
