Emily Rolfe is a 5x CrossFit Games competitor, best known for incredible performances in certain events. She is arguably in the best shape of her career at the moment, as she is coming off her best finish at the Games so far, having placed third in 2024. Throughout her other appearances at the Games, Emily nearly always placed in the top half of the competitors, excluding the 2022 season, where she had to get surgery after the first event. That did not stop her, as she went on to have the best two seasons of her career afterwards.
Sydney Wells is best recognized for her incredible season in 2023, when she managed to qualify to the CrossFit Games for the first time in her career. She did not disappoint, posting some very competitive results across certain events. This remains her only appearance at the most prestigious CrossFit competition, but Sydney is hungry to return to the stage this year. So, she will look to perform well in the 2025 CrossFit Open Workout 25.2.
