An inspiring memoir by CrossFit legend Annie Thorisdottir, the first woman to win the CrossFit Games twice. In 2011, Annie Thorisdottir earned the title “Fittest Woman on Earth” after winning the CrossFit Games in only her third year as a competitor. In 2012, she did it again, becoming the first woman to ever ever win the Games twice, solidifying herself amongst the CrossFit greats. Iceland Annie is the story of how she got there, and everything that happened after. From bursting onto the CrossFit scene at the 2009 Games and famously hitting her first-ever muscle-up mid-competition, to becoming a two-time champion and mentor to athletes like Katrin Davidsdottir, to surviving the traumatic birth of her daughter and the battle with postpartum depression—culminating in a stunning 2021 comeback, when she placed third at the Games less than a year after giving birth. Now, for the first time ever, Annie shares the intimate details of her career, delving into her mental resilience, determination, and the struggles and triumphs she’s faced as a top-level competitor over three separate decades.
ANNIE THORISDOTTIR-or Iceland Annie, as she's sometimes called-is a two-time CrossFit Games champion (2011-2012) and ten times CrossFit Games veteran. Of those appearances, she's stood on the podium six times-she took second in 2010 and 2014, third in 2017 and 2021 less then a year after giving birth, in addition to her title-winning finishes. A former gymnast, Thorisdottir owns CrossFit Reykjavik in Iceland.
