Sam Briggs, 2013 CrossFit Games champion, 9x Individual competitor, firefighter, and the GOAT of UK's CrossFit community talks shop! Her background of soccer and cross country (amongst destroying her brothers and their cronies on the cul-de-sac) led her to a career in firefighting which was then soon parlayed into the emerging sport of CrossFit in the late 2000's. She soon found herself standing alone at the top of the podium in 2013 as the World's Fittest Woman. This didn't come free, as years of intense training led to a multitude of injuries (most notably her shoulder, elbow, and knee). However, what most call travesties Sam calls road bumps as she went on to compete as an individual in 9 CrossFit Games. Today she lives in Cincinnati, and serves as Emma McQuaid's training partner and 'keeper' during top level competitions such as Wodapalooza and the Games.
